O'Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell
2015
The rap group NWA emerges from the mean streets of Compton in the mid-1980s and revolutionizes hip-hop culture with their music and tales about life in the hood.
This biopic hit different. It's a raw, unfiltered look at the rise of N.W.A and the impact of their music on the culture. The performances were tight, especially O'Shea Jackson Jr. channeling his dad. The film doesn't shy away from the gritty realities of life in Compton, and the soundtrack is straight fire. It's a powerful narrative that speaks to the struggles and triumphs of the community. A solid addition to any hip-hop/rap enthusiast's library.
