Looks awesome.

I'd like to see QB get similar treatment, or even Brooklyn. Lots of interesting stories all around.
 
I was interested after the off-screen trailer hit youtubw. After watching this trailer, it looks insanely good. Consider me hyped.
 
I remember being young and watching the Straight Outta Compton video, thinking those guys were the most threatening persons I had ever seen in my life. I had nightmares of them chasing me in the streets and all that. It must had been all those scenes of them walking toward the camera in an aggressive way; it had quite an effect on the 10yo version of me.

Can't wait to see the movie!
 
This looks like it's going to be very good. I was in my late teens when NWA and West Coast gangsta rap took over. I'm very excited to watch what looks like a very polished film on one of the most influential West Coast groups.

I'm from the part that knows the difference between 'threw' and 'through'.

I'm not really interested in turning this into a pissing contest, but since you asked: born and raised in northen cali, went to school in southern. Did the rap show at my college radio station, worked as a hip hop buyer for one of the major record stores on Melrose, had a short stint writing for URB magazine, worked as an intern at Interscope records during the Murder Was The Case era. I never said it was ubiquitous, just that folks used it. Just visiting there a bunch of times doesn't mean you have a firm grasp on all the various cultural aspects.

really grammar police a typo instead. All that and still don't know the slang and culture of west coast rap, that's a damn shame. I never said I just visited I actually lived in so cal for years and live in nor cal now. Of course folks probably used it before but was it on the regular bases and a strong part of west coast rappers slang and culture? no. Slang now is more so wide spread then it was in the 90s and 80s there is now ppl on the eastcoast saying words like hella and ppl on the west saying madd.

Damn, Cube's son and his speech mannerisms sound nothing like him.

Will the actors actually vocalize the NWA tracks in the movie or is it just going to be the originals?

It's E and Cube's vocals in the trailer during Straight Outta Compton and Fuck the Police.

I think they'll just be lip syncing the original tracks if the trailer is anything to go by.

just listened to the trailer again on my astros and indeed he does say that shit was dope E. Thanks for the clarification, I feel allot better about the movie now. My only gripe now is it looks a bit too modern. I think I will wait on the reviews from GAF before I go check it out.
 
Now would be a good time for everyone to listen to NWA's second album in full, especially if you're like I was and never gave it the time of day due to no Ice Cube. It's easily Dre's best production work, and probably the only Dre-produced album that's excellent start to finish. Dre was on some angry, nihilistic shit at that time.
 
Ice Cubes son looks like french montana.

everyone says that shit was dope, I am more so talking about the B part. Ppl on the west coast during that era was not saying B. Google NY slang and B.

lived on both sides of the US for a long time, I am pretty sure ppl in so cal was not saying B on the regular in the early 90s and 80s. B has been NY slang forever. West coast ppl actually pride themselves on not talking like or trying to be like ppl from NY in particular.

Except that when rap first came out, there wasn't much other role models than the NY cats. Outside of the electro-rap stuff in Los Angeles (and even that was influenced by Bambaataa), lots of west coast rap acts aped east coast styles. It wasn't until the early-mid 90s that the whole east coast/west coast shit started really popping off.

Yea right, I have been to LA and all threw so Cal in the 80s and 90s and grew up listening to NWA and never heard anyone saying B on the regular bases in Cali. I just watched the movie Paid In Full and they captured NYs 80s culture really well. What part of Cal you from? it truly bothered me hearing the guy that played dre say that because NWA had there own idenity and slang that has been based off there So-Cal Westcoast region. The movie also looks to modernized from the preview.

What's funny about this entire argument (I only quoted the first half or so), is that on a rewatch of the trailer on my bluray/surround sound, it's pretty obvious that Dre says, "That shit was Dope, E". As in, Eazy-E. He never even says B.

:lol
 
The actor playing Ice Cube's voice is bothersome. It doesn't sound like someone from Compton, let alone Ice Cube. Definitely detracts from the authenticity of the movie.

Edit: And apparently that's Ice Cube's son. At the very least, he looks like him. Shouldn't be playing him, though.

for what it's worth in the intro to "New York New York" Snoop and the Dogg Pound poke fun at East Coast rappers by calling each other "B", "God", and "money".

I agree, should have got someone who could really pull Cube off. Cuba's son got the hook up.

I meant with the vocal effects like the trailer has.

It's not really a vocal effect. Sounds like that's the actors real voice being dubbed over the top of Eazy's.

It might be that they're using the album tracks for the trailer. Which would make sense, because the concert scenes are going to seem REALLY fucking inauthentic if they just drop the studio shit on the soundtrack instead.
