The New ‘Straight Outta Compton’ Trailer Is As Dope As The Song It’s Named After

There are only a handful of movies I have earmarked as “must-see” this year. Mad Max: Fury Road, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and this one, Straight Outta Compton.

If there ever was a biopic that deserves an epic movie it’s the story of “The World’s Most Dangerous Group.”

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these young men revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.

Starring O’Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins and Jason Mitchell as Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Eazy-E, Straight Outta Compton is directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job). The drama is produced by original N.W.A. members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, who are joined by fellow producers Matt Alvarez and Tomica Woods-Wright.

No way this film won’t live up to the hype. Dre and Cube simply won’t let it.
