Hell yeah i agreed with her. i saw friday, bith and menace yo society in at black theaters and i cant see myself going through that now at 34. Hell the studio is paying for extra security at certain theaters.
I was going to go with a bunch of homies but i didnt know my girl wanted go. Even the homies and i were saying we aint going to the black theater we we planned to attend the whitest theater.
Wasn't around for the NWA era, but if someone could shed some light on this for me it would be pretty cool.
The film reeks of revisionist history, romanticism, and dramatization. Great movie, but the whole NWA thing just seems like it was a bit blown out of proportion for the sake of the film. Obviously I wasn't around so I can't grasp the full scope of the time period, but were they really that impactful to American history as the movie portrayed them to be?
Yes, nobody was sounding like them. It was very rare you heard any cursing in music at that time.. These guys took it another level and had the establishment shook.
He prbly use to slang with EExcited to see this. I remember being 5 when Easy passed. One of my earliest memories was being on the 110 fwy South, and seeing Easy and a Lowrider. He had the Raider cap and Locs on. I had a Raider shirt & shorts. My dad knew him from idk where, he said wsup to my dad and peeled out.
Exactly. That was what made the experience last night. Every time a song came on the whole theatre was reciting the lyrics word for word. Was like a concert in that joint.My guy gonna be in a theater full of crickets. You gotta go to an urban area to see this.
Im 31 and i remember that. Im more into the artists history and background also tho.I'm 34 and slightly too young to remember, NWA was really my older cousins steez and they are in their 40's. Growing up in the hood I remember dudes riding thru in their S-10's, 5.0's and irocs bumping NWA. Glad that era is over cause it took my cousin who was like my brother from me.
The entire theater went "oh my gahhhh" when it was revealed that eazy had HIV. I swear I was the only person in there who knew that's how he died prior to seeing it.
I feel like this movie is coming out at a good time, the drake generation are getting a cool look at history.

And from a purely musical perspective, was their music that impactful? They had one good album before everything went to ****.
They were overrated IMO and don't have a classic. Straight Outta Compton was an OK album at best.

Lowkeeyyyy disagree with this but everything else you said is valid.Funny thing is they were just rapping about what's real, and their everyday experiences.

Fresh Prince was dopeYou must be from the east coast
Although i somewhat agree that they are a tad bit overrated due to the lack of material and such a short time period of them being on top that all goes out the window when you realize what am impact they made on music as a whole.
If it wasnt for them your favorite rapper would be sounding like fresh prince right about now
