Every wigger from the 90s (me included!) and every Polynesian wanna be gansta rapper will wanna see this.

Looks good. Just watched trailer again.

Was a very very good Biopic.

Told their story very well. Clearly the Focus was on E, Ice Cube and Dre but they did a good job selling them at their heights and at their lows.

Ice Cube's son does a fantastic job playing a younger version of his dad.

Yeah I saw it last night too and thought it was great. Did think it was a bit rushed, especially towards the end. But it told the story great. Not exactly an easy story to tell either because there were so many different things going on at the same time.

Another thing that was great about it was that you didn't need to be a hip hop or rap fan to enjoy the movie, or know what was going on. I went with the missus who didn't know a great deal about the rap world other than a few of the names and songs, but she loved it. Even got me to put on some of my old rap stuff on the way home in the car.

The only thing that bothered me were the hipsters in Compton hats and the teenagers who wouldn't shut the f**k up with the ebonics in the audience.

Hell, I've been to Compton... well I've been THROUGH it. If you wear a Compton hat when you wouldn't have the balls to go there or get off the train then you are an arse clown of the highest order.
