Straight Outta Compton is a few things, big, messy and epic. One thing it isn't is drab. People are complaining the third half of the film sort of drags, I didn't feel that way at all. Their rise to the top is brief but electrifying, the soundtrack naturally on point. The performances AT TIMES were a little basic but Cube, Dre, and Eazy hold the weight of this massive film on their gangsta little shoulders. E's death made me choke up. As for Yella and Ren, their screen time isn't much, maybe spinoff films? Cinematography was excellent, acting great, script was good, and Suge terrifying. As far as one of hip-hop's best act's, this film does NWA justice. You have just read a review of the strength of street knowledge
