Movie Review: Straight Outta Compton.

I finally watched Straight outta Compton after seeing all the hullabaloo on social media with photos ghastly  displaying “Straight outta Githurai” “Straight outta Kahawa” and straight outta every other nook and crevice that we call home. 

 The movie lived to the hype, It strangely reminded me of “The Empire” with all the hip-hop swag but less colorful than the Empire as it imbibes how Compton looked like back in the late 80’s . 

Straight outta Compton is a tall tale of  a surburban  group of  NWA’s (Niggas With Attitudes)  emerges from the mean streets of Compton in Los Angeles, California, in the mid-1980s and revolutionizes Hip Hop culture with their music and tales about life in the hood.

It is a spell-binding movie about hip-hop, the blacks and the hassle to create music in a society that tries to mask the freedom of expression. 

It is a movie that hip-hop heads will particularly find pleasure in watching especially in the fact that it stars Dr Dre, Ice Cube and Eazy E.
