N.W.A.'s STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON Music Video Recreated in GRAND THEFT AUTO V

Universal's biopic Straight Outta Compton took the number one spot at the box office this past weekend, and deservedly so: it's a great movie with stellar performances, awesome music, and propulsive energy. And even though it's a period piece, its messages about police brutality and racial profiling are sadly still as timely today as they were in the late '80s/early '90s.

Uproxx points us to YouTuber Animal Robot, who has recreated N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton" music video in Grand Theft Auto V. This was a watershed moment for the gangsta rap movement, and though the remake doesn't recreate the original video exactly, the gist is basically the same. (NSFW language ahead, obviously.)

Straight Outta Compton is in theaters now, and it's definitely worth checking out.
