The movie based off the Compton rap group N.W.A. is coming to theaters this summer. It's based off the lives of Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Arabian Prince, Eazy E, Ice Cube and DJ Yella.
The group released a two studio albums and a handful of extended plays.
The movie titled Straight Outta Compton. It's based off the debut album of the rap group. It was a breakthrough rap album. It introduced the world to gangsta rap.
Straight Outta Compton is the debut studio album by American hip hop group N.W.A, released August 8, 1988 on group member Eazy-E's record label Ruthless Records.
Production for the album was handled by Dr. Dre, with DJ Yella giving co-production. The album has been viewed as the pioneering record of gangsta rap with its ever-present profanity and violent lyrics. It has been considered groundbreaking by music writers and has had an enormous impact on the evolution of West Coast hip hop.
Straight Outta Compton redefined the direction of hip-hop, which resulted in lyrics concerning the gangster lifestyle becoming the driving force in sales figures.
It was later re-released on September 24, 2002, remastered and containing four bonus tracks. An extended version of the album was released on December 4, 2007, honoring the 20th anniversary of the original album.
Universal Music Group reissued the album on a Limited Edition red cassette as part of their Respect The Classics series.
The cassette was released in time for the annual Record Store Day.

The rise of Tupac Shakur is being mentioned in this movie. Shakur was not a famous until he started the war of the coasts.
The rapper's fate was met in September 1996. There will a movie about Shakur's life in the coming year.
The movie is controversial. Universal Pictures is producing the movie along with Cubevision, Ice Cube's movie production company.
Of course, this movie was being filmed in South Los Angeles and Compton. The movie was finishing up production when Big Suge decided to crash the set.
Suge's was told to bounce and of course, he got to threatening the security. He would throw his hands up, get into his truck and peel out. When he peeled out he hit a man, killing him.
Now Big Suge's days of freedom could be over. He is being charged with murder. Not involuntary manslaughter. The charge was bumped up after witness told that Big Suge didn't give a fuck who he hit.
Now Suge Knight is innocent until proven guilty. If he is found guilty in this trial coming next year, he will be making toys and clothes from the iron college for LIFE.
Are you going to see the movie?
I might!
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is running in the clown car. He's a huge fan of hip-hop music. He said that he will see the movie. No word from President Barack Obama.
Matter of fact, the president already got early viewing in the White House screening room. That's the perks of being the president.
