For anyone who grew up in t mid 80s with the emergence of rap and NWA in particular it is a great movie and well worth a watch on Sky this week.

It surely does, it also shut down any revolutions rap music could have created at that time.

Disruptive you said ? I can't really how as all they did is promoted violence and stupidity amongst young people.

That's exactly what the establishment wants.

Their music were good I can't deny that fact.

I am just talking about the men behind the scene who made that possible.

Malcolm X was disruptive, he has been assasinated. They were entertaining, at best.

They all owe their success in some way to what NWA achieved.

Absolutely!

So many of today's hip-hop and rap artists probably stem from NWA.

There will always be debates about whether they were manipulated, but the music was just great

Oh yes, for instance when you see who were dressing them, you understand that they weren't as anti establishment they were pretending to be.

Few are underground nowadays though.

And the master remains Immortal Technique.

I thought it was a good film, the first half being better than the second. Given who wrote the film (and the producers) the story is very heavy on the Dre and Ice Cube story.

Worth a watch if you're into the group and what happened in LA in the late 80's/early 90's.

With all that said NWA's music was great!

I liked nwa when I was 15, don't think I could listen to them now. Straight outta Compton was a great album at the time though. Thought my da was going to have a stroke the first time I belted it out
