Straight Outta Casparity Film Analysis
Straight Outta Compton is a movie about 5 young men back in the 1980’s who portrayed their life in L.A California Compton into rap music. These five young men were known as, Ice cube played by O’Shea Jackson Jr, who was the songwriter of the group. Eazy-E Played by Jason Mitchell, who was the main singer of the group Dr. Dre played by Corey Hawkins who made the beats of the groups song’s, Mc Ren played by Aldis Hodge and Dj Yella played by Neil Brown who was the DJ in NWA’s Group. Their Groups Name was called NWA acronym for “Niggaz with Attitude.” The movie starts off by giving a little bit of each group member’s life as they were separate before they even started their group of NWA. For example, drug dealing, going to school, and being kicked

out of their house, and some of these guys in the group may have had kids already. Soon enough the boys decide to record a song in the studio hoping for a change in life, although their music was created using lots of negligent words most people heard them out and appreciated them for their honesty. Although most of the music management did not want to present NWA, but there was one who took them in whose name is Jerry Heller played by Paul Giamatti. In the beginning the boys have their fun and enjoy their famous life, but then later on comes the issues with the management of NWA. Soon after NWA falls apart and everyone takes on their own life again. Although, there was hope for the group to get back together Eazy-E then dies from AIDS. Not only was focused on the hip hop and the rap music but it also gives a little history on how these NWA members were victims of police harassment.
There are a few topics which this movie gives, such as Hip Hop generation, Racism, AIDS, etc.
but the one that seemed like a huge plus was that these members had gone through police harassment. The first one was when Ice cube was seen walking home from Dj Yella house to his house after school the cops harshly grabbed Ice cube by the arm and forced him onto the hood of the cop's car for doing nothing, According to Ed Rampell from Progressive article “other than being black at the wrong time and the wrong place.” Rodney king’s beating by LAPD officers, which caused a two-day riot for all of Los Angeles was also put in the movie Straight Outta Compton to show how NWA got the idea to write the song “F Tha Police.” One of the questions asked in an interview with Ice Cube on Billboard article by Alex Gale was “Why did the movie use the Rodney King verdict and the L.A. riots as such a prominent backdrop?” Ice cube in response said that “We wanted to show that when we did a song like "Fuck Tha Police" that it wasn't just about us, it wasn't just about what happened to us. It was more of an anthem for people to be able to fight back and to have a song they can all rally around that feels the same way they feel. We wanted to show that our music had an impact on the community as a whole.” They then continue the interview asking if the song F Tha Police means anything now in present terms, I believe that it may still be a voice to those who listened or once knew NWA, especially with
what’s going on now with the death of Eric Garner, who was a 43-year-old African American who was harshly held on the ground by cops who had been choked holding him to try to handcuff him to arrest him but in the process died of lack of breath. It then ends the interview with the movie that has been presented to us audience to see has there been any change since or will there be any? I think that entirely it won’t just change as much as we expect, but it may help or encourage others to speak up and tell their story towards police brutality or even for the police academy lieutenants to open their eyes towards their cops to see who are the good ones and bad ones. Like Ice Cube said “They must be held accountable for their wrong doings, no more excuses.”
I believe you should watch my film Straight Outta Compton because the film is not only about hip hop music, but it shows how NWA went through police harassment and made the decision to share their history with us in hope for a change. I would recommend this film for fans who knew or heard about NWA and would like to learn their history. Also for the Police departments so that they can see what it was like back in the 90’s and hopefully it would change them into treating everyone with respect regardless of race, and for those who are fans of Ice cube like myself. Although, I do not recommend this film for children under the age 12 because the movie itself uses profanity throughout the film, it also shows some sexual scenes, I also do not recommend this movie to those who get “heated” easily with such maltreatment of the women’s in the movie, same goes for the part where the police use bad words towards the NWA group.
