Red-Band Trailer for STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON

View fullsize

Ice Cube and Dr. Dre introduce the red-band trailer for a new film called Straight Outta Compton. The movie dramatizes the rise of the rap group N.W.A., which, as you may or may not know, was founded by Cube and Dre. Here's what the film is about:

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.

This looks like a well made movie that is going to be great. I remember when all of this stuff went down, and it was pretty insane. I think it's cool that they actually made a movie about it. The film was directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job) and it stars Cube's son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., as Ice Cube, Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre, Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E ,and Paul Giamatti as manager Jerry Heller,

Straight Outta Compton opens on August 14th, 2015. The trailer is NSFW due to nudity and language.
