Movies Like Straight Outta Compton: From 8 Mile to Boyz N the Hood

Nothing encapsulates N.W.A.'s attitude more than the powerful moment where, having been directed not to play their song "F*ck tha Police", the group is on stage and Ice Cube turns to Dr. Dre with a knowing look and says, "I got somethin' to say" before launching into the banned song. This swagger is present throughout all of Straight Outta Compton, a film with a strong point of view to match the brashness of its subjects. The group, comprised of Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson Jr.), Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell), Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins), DJ Yella (Neil Brown Jr.), and MC Ren (Aldis Hodge) are (in)famous for their raw, real lyrics and strong personal opinions.
