It looks like hip-hop fans will be in for a treat this year with the Dr. Dre and Ice Cube produced N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton. The official trailer which just released focuses on their transition from street life to rap icon status. The film also touches on the controversy that surrounded the “world’s most dangerous group,” specifically their apparent glamorization of drugs and gangs, which they denied, but rather saw as a reflection of their reality.
There is also a poignant scene in which a black police officer states, “rap is not an art,” which, as a reader of RESPECT. Magazine, you’re sure to disagree with. Catch the trailer below and get ready to mark off a spot on your calendar to learn the untold story of N.W.A. this summer.
