90% of the work is already done when you look like a carbon copy of the person you're going to play and on top of that you've lived most of your life with that person.
True but we can't downplay his acting, just because you look like someone you're playing you still have to be convincing enough in your performance to entertain the audience with your portrayal,
I love the inception of him as his dad referencing himself as the kid he had on the way! It gets me every time! Or the bye Felicia loop, which came first, Felicia or Ice remembering it and writing it down for his movie 😂😂 I hope I never find out my brain likes the loop😂
@@Sunny-sc5vqEhhh, you could say that if he was playing his father when he was already alive. He knows his father as his father, he is playing Ice the rapper. He has more to work with sure, but it's still an incredible performance.
Oscar nominations are not a participation trophy. If that scene made you tear up, then it was because of the writing, and they got an oscar nomination for the writing.
@@sugarbomb1346no he used it right. Plus he has a point, the right actor can take a script and make it so much better, but a trash actor could take the best script, and still have it coming out trash. You didn’t take that into account, and by definition, you were ignorant, maybe you don’t know what it means tho king 🙏🏽💯
I remember seeing this movie in the theater and by the time Ice Cube's No Vaseline came out during the scene where Cube dissed the NWA members, some people in my theater were either dancing in their seats or even sing along to the song quietly, it was glorious 😂 Still one of the greatest disstrack ever, Cube is a hip hop 🐐
53:16 after the Rodney King police beating and the LA riots in 92 began the crips and bloods peace treaty which inadvertently caused a lot of people who wouldn't have worked together before to start linking up. For example, Suge being a blood and dogg pound being crips
i will die on this hill, if rami malek can get nominated and win for bohemian rhapsody, then I see absolutely no reason why O’Shea Jackson Jr. & Taron Egerton couldn’t win for there work, taron got hoed but obviously the main topic rn is O’Shea, it’s ridiculous, i will never, ever get over the academy’s disrespect to the actors of this film, everyone of them were amazing.
The scene where ice cube is writing a script that is actually his movie friday and apparently ice cube acting has gotten better than ever, plus eazy e son is still alive today
Cube did destroy the office at Priority, but the president of the company stepped in and made the charges go away. A part thats overlooked is the cube as he's walking out the office, which is the logo for Cube Vision, Ice Cube's company. That encounter encouraged him to launch his own and being mentored while in NY from Chuck D of Public Enemy motivated him to create his own brand.
People cry "Police Brutality" if a cop hands a ticket to then a little too rough. 99% of the videos being passed off as "police brutality" shows people fighting the police, running away, pulling a gun or speeding off.
@@sugarbomb1346 nice random statistics you made up, any ATTEMPT at a violation of my rights wether I am aware of them or not is police brutality. Asking for my ID when I e done nothing wrong JUST to run my name is a violation if you don't know your rights (which is an abuse of power), and when one senses this but doesn't have the knowledge to articulate what's being done to them THEN it usually turns into "Police Brutality" ANY unwanted touch can be assault, stopping my movements constitutes a detainment and if there is no REASONABLE ARTICULABLE SUSPICION you are UNLAWFULLY arresting me and in MOST STATES I have the right to refuse such as long as I don't exceed the force being applied to me. So what you claim to see is just what you're exhibiting now ignorance to the facts and laws.
@@sugarbomb1346 na you have nothing of value to say. Your point wasn't proven who you are was. For you to call violations of civil rights "little inconveniences" says all anybody needs to know about you and your character. Thank you for hiding behind the Internet because you wouldn't have these opinions openly.
My only problem with this movie is they purposely left out the First Lady of N.W.A., Michel'le. And they did that to make Dre look good, covering up the abuse he done to her.
The guy that confronted Jerry at his home is former NFL running back turned actor Thomas Jones. He was in the 1st season of Luke Cage and played Shade's former cellmate
The real story about F the police as told by ice cube and Eazy was they were out driving around shooting people with paintballs and the cops pulled them over. They messed with them but let them go because they were shooting paintballs and not real guns. Right after they went back to the studio and made the song. But it looks better for the movie if they were just standing infront of the studio and the cops messed with them.
To answer your question Dre got out of the contract by paying Eazy. There was a settlement that gave eazy a percentage of "The Chronic" album sales along with a cash payment.
Check out the Serena and Venus Williams Biopic about them growing up in Compton playing tennis. King Richard. Will Smith won an Oscar for his roll and slapped Chris Rock the same night.
LAPD was corrupt as hell back then. False arrests, planting evidence, all kinds of shit. No Vaseline - one of the best diss tracks ever made. Worthy of its own side listening. Boyz In The Hood is a must watch. Dre never did get to say goodbye to Eazy. Part of the reason at the end of "I Need a Doctor" he goes to visit his grave as a tribute.
The "hood" theory has always been that Suge had one of his ex con friends, that was AIDS positive to rape Eazy. All the members have never flat out denied this. But I do think it's interesting how both Dre n Cube n Eazy's wife include that scene in the movie.
Another movie event y'all need to watch is The New Edition Story. Keith Powers who is playing as Dre's little brother is in it as the adult Ronnie DeVoe.
1:21:50 There is a great documentary series the takes a deep dive into their life’s and how the grow and the impact they have on the music business today. The series is called the The Defiant Ones I truly recommend watching it!!!!! They also show some parts of when this movie was being filmed.
@@billbill6094 Because he ain't apart of the story? Dre is supposed to be a DJ too but he already did his job by being one of the executive producers and had all his real music in the movie.
Dr Dre never confronted Suge Knight or told him he was leaving Deathrow. Dr Dre just disappeared without telling Suge he was leaving. Suge showed up at Dr Dre’s house and took the master recordings.
As a biopic, this is a better done one for me, not as formulaic in style. The colorist casting call for the women in this movie was an ick but that's why I also really encourage people to watch Surviving Compton which was like Michele's film response to this movie!
No one mentioned that before NWA, Dre & Yella were doing some androgyny electronica rap complete with eyeliners sparkly suits in World Class Wrecking Cru? NWA came to be because Alonso merged his two groups World Class Wrecking Cru that had Yella & Dre with Cru in Action that had Ice Cube in it.
My father is a huge NWA fan so we went to see this in theaters.. the entire theater was rapping along 😊 good times. Fave NWA song is Dopeman for sure ❤
YES, ICE CUBE REALLY TOOK A BAT & SMASHED UP THE OFFICE. Can't believe you've never heard "NO VASELINE". It's one of the best diss tracks in hip hop history. Also, Suge Knight was rumored to be extremely violent. Because of their contracts, some R&B groups were on his label for a short time. They don't discuss that time TO THIS DAY.
20:32 yeah cube used to be in a group called CIA - criminals in action They stayed cool and were brought in later on the label after the group disbanded for other things
As an English white boy late teens in the late 80's I loved these songs, But I knew they were not real gang bangers but they rapped about the Hood world and life in LA South Central was back then etc, I also knew that LA South Central was a mess with gangs and corrupt racist police, the Rodney King beating then riots after the trial, the group were just showed the world how the sh*t was going down. Loved and saddened for the film 'Boys in the Hood' how stupid the gang culture and the way of the gun just for so called respect etc, I knew Easy E died of AIDS which was real sad only because of the ignorance of it 'being only a gay disease' when its not. I haven't seen the film yet but I thought I'd watch this anyway, ANR music managers were and some still are slimy c**k suckers but Easy's naivety in business. Ice Cube and Dre are just music gods glad they did okay would love to see that interview if it was any longer than the diss too. Snoop too yo. "F**k the Police"............peace!
I completely agree with Aaron with wanting more as far as their backstories. I felt like they only showed behind the scenes of pivotal points in their career that the publicly is, for the most part, familiar with. The film has a production budget of about $28-$50mil. I think if it had a larger budget maybe they could’ve spent more time on the things that we don’t know like person struggles and more in depth problems with the group. We definitely should’ve gotten a look into MC Ren and DJ Yella’s backstories. Ps. Took a screenshot of Aaron’s face at 1:19:09 you’re my new fav meme 🫡😂😂
8:09 yeah back then them gangs didn't play...quick story...when I was a kid walking home from school I had on a pair of brand new blue suede Adidas my dad bought me. I walked through Bryanhurst Ave. in L.A. everyday not knowing it was Blood neighborhood. One day some Bloods were on a porch shooting dice and they stopped me walking and one of em picked me up while the other one took my shoes off and they made me walk the rest of the way home in my socks. I was about 8 years old then. A little trivia for you: That's a recorded scratch sample from DJ Jazzy Jeff (DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince) on the scene where Cube walks in on Dre scratching on the turntable. He did it just for this movie. At 45:10 during that beating the bar scene of the movie Terminator 2 was being filmed.
I would highly recommend you also check out the biopic All Eyez On Me, which came out two years later, which focused on the story of Tupac Shakur. Much like this it is a powerful and frequently downright FASCINATING portrait of an incredibly talented, frequently EXTREMELY controversial musical artist, and the lead, Demetrius Shipp Jr, is genuinely ON FIRE throughout (as well as looking almost UNCANNILY like Pac himself, which definitely helped).
This is one of those movies that’s really good but so sugar coated that your teeth will fall out. Though it was awesome when they sung “Fuck the police” and the cops proved NWA right by arresting them. It’s ironic that the biggest bullies have the thinnest skin😂.
The other members of nwa. Lol. Everybody that mattered got enough screen time. Even DOC got a mention because he was the next man up before his car wreck.
Man, I remember watching this opening night. The theatre was HYPED. I'm sure it takes many creative liberties and glosses over certain details like any biopic, but there was something so cool about watching a biopic about more (for lack of a better term) "recent" artists that I actually grew up on. I always loved the first half of the movie; it really does play like a superhero team-up movie, where we're one-by-one introduced to the key members, seeing their skill sets (DJing, rapping, writing, producing, etc), and seeing the why and how they get together. Considering this came out the same year as "Age of Ultron", I remember telling my buddies at the time: "This is the best superhero movie of the year." LOL. The actual recording scenes were so well done and full of energy; everyone in the theatre was either bopping their heads or rapping along. The second half does feel more like the conventional biopic, where it feels like they're kinda checking off the different notable moments of the group's history, but it's still hella engaging. Pleasantly surprised to see you guys reacting to this one. Love this flick.
the fact that if easy would've gone through with killing suge it would've saved so many others lives literally and figuratively is a crazy butterfly effect but also we would never have gotten Eminem 50 cent and snoop or at least the way we got them
Watch “the Defiant Ones” it’s a 4 episode documentary about the full detailed story of everything. If you are still interested in more detail, I highly recommend it.
24:26 fun fact, at that time until the late nineties, no we weren't allowed to be outside. Curfews and 3 or more people dressed alike were automatically "gang activity"
Being there to see the rise of NWA was an experience. I got to see one of the first concerts they did for the Chronic tour. They told the crowd to “throw your blunts up, we trying to get high.” They went through sweeping joints and blunts with a push broom . One of the greatest concerts I’ve been to to this day. (Nas and Mary J is up there. Onyx live was 🔥).
Regarding Dre and his brother, Dre made a song called "The Message" on his 2001 album. It's a very emotional and touching song dedicated to Tyree, one of my personal favourite Dre songs
(Sorry idk names) but bro on the right looks uncomfortable as hell when scene get intense and show street shit. Bro on the left is like eh we use to this shit lmaoo
