Straight out of Compton- A suburanites Review

[marijuana]

With biographies the risk is often run of makeing a legend out of the subject or else of failing entirely to convey the importance of what they were doing. Not so with Gary Gray's piece. Dare I say this is one of the few films based on true events that reveals it's subject's warts and all.

rating 4/5 I liked it

Q: y'all?

the warts where well hidden
there is plenty missing from it

2pac didnt do California love until 96 but the film says 94
also there was domestic voilance /general voilance that was left out
the chronic wasnt even mentioned
the doc wasnt mentioned

it was good but the was alot missing form it

It's a good film and I'm glad I watched it as Straight Outta Compton is one of my all time favourite albums. But "warts and all" is very far from the truth, there isn't a single mention of Deep Barnes (even though F. Gary Grey was her camera man on Pump It Up!), Dre's former partner partner or why she really left him.
Not to mention how he really left Death Row. At most Straight Outta Compton is a very biased sugary version of what happened.

the death row thing could make a film in its own right
there has been a few books released about it
