Every day, new footage surfaces of police brutality in America. As of this morning, the town of Ferguson, Missouri, was again declared a state of emergency, one year on from the riots that erupted after white police officer Darren Wilson fatally shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. What’s also impossible to overlook is the relevance of this film today. The casting is so on point you forget you aren’t watching a documentary, and holy shit-balls does Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr (Cast as Ice Cube) look like his dad. Obviously, the soundtrack is incredible, not only dropping all of NWA’s biggest bangers, but it seamlessly weaves in the jams and early journeys of other key west coast players like Snoop and Tupac. Through humor (Cube’s retelling of a Bloods member’s ‘motivational speech’ on a school bus is a real barn burner) and hard-hitting story telling, Straight Outta Compton retraces the meteoric rise of one of the most influential rap groups of all time. What we have in NWA is a harrowing tale of rags to riches a crew of boys from the hood wanting more for themselves than a life housed by a 6 by 8′ prison cell, or worse yet, a body bag. I mean, I never saw it for myself, but from what Straight Outta Compton is telling me, shit was heavy as an elephant snorting cement on the streets of South Central in 1986.

I know it’s just a movie, but I trust that Dre would have made sure the portrayal of his hometown was on point. The film opens with an epic drug raid on the crack dens of Compton, South Los Angeles, where we meet a young and misguided Eazy E in above his head.

#WATCH STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON NOVAMOV MOVIE#
Straight Outta Compton is what movie making is all about. But no matter the inner turmoil I experienced intermittently throughout my two hours and twenty seven minutes in that red Arclight Cinema chair, one thing’s for sure: I was entertained as hell. There were times when I felt guilt and shame, times when I felt abhorrence and superiority, and there were times when I just felt really fucking uncool.
#WATCH STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON NOVAMOV SKIN#
It would be a lie to say that the color of my skin and the privilege of my upbringing did not affect how I felt about this film. I want to kick this off by stating that I am a white, 29-year-old female, raised in a middle class family in a safe neighborhood. What the hell does my race and socio-economic status have to do with Straight Outta Compton? Well, heaps, actually.
