    Haven't seen the film yet; all my mates have. I do like West Coast rap, though I probably wouldn't were it not for me playing San Andreas as a kid. I'm not gonna lie, that's the only reason I started listening to it.

    I preferred The Jolson Story. Larry Parks carried the part extremely well, with Jolson providing the vocals. I also liked Jolson Sings Again, but not as much as The Jolson Story.

    It was produced by Dre and O'Shea so it was always going to be selective. As a film it's excellent, great story, good acting and well shot, but as a biopic of N.W.A its not that accurate at all, they left out all the controversy and for good reason.

    Take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy it for a what it is and it's fine.

    He's earnt more selling headphones than most musicians will ever make in their lifetime.

    He's a buisness man and a good one at that but his influence on popular music over the last 3 decades is still one of the most significant of any artist which should never be overlooked.

    Straight Outta Compton might be an entertaining film, but it's a whitewash of events. Which is ironic.

    Agreed, if you watch it as a film it's great, if you watch it and think you know the history of N.W.A then your grossly mislead!

    I don't know much about them either beyond that nearly all their records were bought by suburban white kids acting hard in their bedrooms.

    they probably put Viagra drops in their eyes, so they can look hard.

    Are you on about the film Dope which has just come out? Because that is better than SOC.
