A few weeks ago during a tour stop in Australia, West Coast rapper, Ice Cube, decided to surprise those in attendance by playing the first trailer for N.W.A.‘s upcoming biopic, Straight Outta Compton. Luckily for Hip-Hop heads, a fan who was at the show used his cellphone to record the preview and uploaded it onto YouTube shortly thereafter. The motion picture documents the road to the stardom for the highly-controversial rap group, N.W.A., during the late 80’s to the early 90’s.

The film was directed by F. Gary Gray (who has also directed other hit movies such as Friday and The Italian Job) and stars Corey Hawkins (as Dr. Dre,) Jason Mitchell (as Eazy-E,) and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (as his father, Ice Cube.) Jackson Jr. was casted after his father was able to convince Universal executives that despite his son’s lack of acting experience, he would be able to rise up to the challenge. Fans will be able to determine for themselves if Jackson Jr. and the rest of the cast were able to successfully channel the legendary emcees when the movie hits theaters on August 14, 2015.
