Last Film(s) You Saw

[Yousif]

I'm really into biopics, and I'm glad there was finally a decent one made for rap. The casting is great, pacing kinds slows down after the first half but it doesn't get boring, and it's an inspirational tale as most biopics typically are.

Problem is they're not being entirely honest with some of the shit that goes down. Dr. Dre is kinda portrayed as the straight man who just works hard and would never hurt a fly, and while he did work hard I think there were a few skeletons left in the closet because the motherfucker produced the movie with cube. And they weren't exactly honest about the beef between the members after NWA split.

Like, as a non-spoiling example, there's a scene where Eazy-E is driving down the highway and sees a billboard of "The Chronic" and smiles nostalgically. That's bullshit, the first track off that record is a direct diss to Eazy-E, that Eazy followed with "Real Mothafuckin G's". None of that was explored.

I know this movie and it's subject matter might not be the kind of shit you guys are into, but I thought it was pretty good, aside from a few historical inaccuracies. Even if you've never heard anything from NWA or any of that old G-Funk or gangster rap, give it the movie a watch if you're looking for a good 'ol fashioned biopic with good performances.
