Straight outta Compton

In 1987, five young guys used the most potent tool they possessed—their music—to channel their frustration and outrage over living in the most dangerous location in America through brutally honest rhymes and tough beats. Straight Outta Compton, which takes us back to the beginning of it all, tells the true history of how these cultural rebels, armed only with their rhymes, swagger, bravado, and raw ability, faced up to the people who wanted to keep them down and created the most dangerous group in the world, the N.W.A. And when they revealed life in the hood and shouted the truth that no one had before, their voice sparked a social movement that is still going strong today.
