Straight Outta Compton Best Bio Pic Since Ray

-

Compton is back


Audiences lined up for the debut bio pic Straight Outta Compton. 

The film chronicles the background history of the group N.W.A, its members, and the dynamics of their relationships with each other, from the band's inception, to growing success and stardom until the eventual disbanding.

Straight Outta Compton is a 2015 American bio pic directed by F. Gary Gray and screen written by rapper. The films revolves around the rise and fall of the Compton, California hip hop group N.W.A, and borrows its title from the name of N.W.A's 1988 debut studio album. The film was released on August 14, 2015.

After finally seeing Straight Outta Compton I decided to write a review. I was going to just put a brief synopsis of the movie during the time it trended worldwide, but I wanted to see if the movie lived up to the hype, and it definitely did. Straight Outta Compton is the best bio pic since the 2004 Academy Award winning movie Ray. Selling over 60 million within the first week of its release, Straight Outta Compton is a huge success. 

O'Shea Jackson Jr and Jason Mitchell stunned audiences with their performance as Ice Cube and Eazy-E, "they were them" making me forget that they were only actors in the movie. O'shea and Jason were not the only standout performances; Corey Hawkins and Paul Giamatti also were excellent. I could truly see this movie like 3 times, that's how great the movie is. Straight Outta Compton felt real, like you were actually there in the lives of NWA. The audience felt the emotional roller coaster of the movie, ranging from happy and fun to miserable and heartwarming. I literally cried during certain scenes of the movie. Starting with the rush action crime scene in the very first scene and ending with a heartwarming tribute to the late rapper Eazy- E, Straight Outta Compton described a true story from beginning to end. Hip Hoppers like me appreciate this movie, and the music was of course awesome. I guess Ice Cube said you're not messing up my movie, because everything was up to par, especially the cast. Good Job!

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow. During th...

The Real Gods of Egypt

First and foremost the fact that the entire lead cast with exception of Chadwick Boseman who plays Thoth, being of European Caucasian decent is asinine. It's a historic fact that the Gods of Egypt portrayed in this film were of African descent containing large amounts of melanin in their DNA. Simply meaning that the characters being portrayed were in real life are black. The original statues found in Egypt shows round noses, braided hair, and big lips; these are physical characteristics of black people Akhenaten "The civilization of Egypt and of Africa in general, is the most written about and least understood of all known subjects. This is not an accident or an error in misunderstandings the available information. Except for Egypt, African people have been programmed out of the respectable commentary of history. Europeans have claimed the non-African creation of Egypt in order to downgrade the position of African people in the world history. They have laid the founda...
