    Some kid was causing trouble in the neighbour. Nothing to worry about General Zod, I've shipped him out to Bell-Air, he has an aunt and uncle over there. And a gay cousin.

    Let us hope that they keep it in the family so. Carry on sergeant.

    Were there any dice in the mirror btw? Out of pure curiosity?

    What if "It's Raining Men" and 'Let the bodies hit the floor' are both about the same event but from different perspectives 🤔

    I haven't seen the movie yet and it's killing me because it means I can't watch my favourite TV channel until I do. Those fun-loving comedians at Fox News have a tendency to give away spoilers when it comes to movies that are so good they can't stop talking about them ...

    rating 4/5 I liked it

    Q: y'all?
    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 story of hip hops rise is that of one thing. The story of black women whilst important goes back further and with no disrespect to Dee Barnes given the M.O of rap groups such as N.W.A what sort f representation did she expect? That's an entirely different story which deserves it's pwn telling and if she was on her grind top get it told instead of just riding this films' coat tails I'd have so much more repect for her.
