Red band trailer.This looks pretty good. Not sure how many NWA fans would be on this board, but these guys really did change rap music at the time. mod edit: Trailer is NSFW. So, beware. Boobs, butts, etc.

Yeah, I'm down but I tend to agree with IainC. They're probably be a lot of ego-inflating by the parties that are still alive.

No, he apparently had beef with somebody on the set, followed them then ran that person over with his car or some shit.

Looks good. But I totally expected that to be a Lincoln commercial after the first 60s.

No, he actually ran the person who came with him over. |

I'm not sure how much "retconning" there will be other. Viewing the events with "rose colored lenses" may be more apt.
NWA was always pretty up front with what they were doing with the music.

I had no idea Ice Cube's son was the actor portraying him. I was wondering how they got someone who looked so much and sounded so much like him.  I just had a depressing thought: "Fuck the Police" could have been written at any point in my lifetime and still be relevant.  |

This looks fucking amazing and I hope they retcon/glamorize the whole goddamn story.

Both NWA and Public Enemy are indeed far too topical, even today.

Can't fucking wait. Although I might be a pussy and go see this in the whitest neighborhood I can find. I remember seeing Boys N Tha Hood in Kirkland and being interviewed about it by a local news channel...I think they were afraid to go ask questions in a more ethnic neighborhood  Would love some PE stuff too. I spent the week before the Super Bowl listening to By The Time I Get To Arizona over and over. Not even in my top 10 PE songs, but it was appropriate for the Super Bowl. |

I was the whitest person in the room at every PE concert I ever went to. To be fair I am the whitest person in the room in pretty much any company. I am however, legitimately straight outta Compton.

I was sitting backstage at some random charity show about 10 years ago and Chuck D is sitting there, being Chuck D. We struck up a conversation and I told him how much I'd hated hiphop until I listened to Fear of a Black Planet. Last question I asked him was, "What's up with your boy Flav?"
"I have no fucking idea." Was his thoughtful response.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Flava Flav is most assuredly living on a different fucking planet than all of us.

The dude's apparently a prodigy of some sort. Those people are often wired a little weirdly.

My brother lives in the same gated community as Flav ( & Vanderlei Silva, no relevance to the story just odd that he's there too).
Just this passed Halloween, we had all the lil' ones out and Trick or treating when this IIRC black drop top mercedes w/ street glow pulls up and asks if any kids needs more candy.
I immediately assumed some stranger danger. Worries are dismissed as my brother says "what's up" & then gives him a fist bump.
Flav then takes out pillow cases w/ full size candies & tells everyone to take it all don't be shy. Of course the kids lose their shit & does as he says.
I don't know if it was always an act, or if he calmed down in his old age but he seems to be a legitimately decent dude.
Oh, and it seemed odd that he turned down his eccentricity for Halloween because he only wore a small clock.

I think Flav's always been a decent guy. His persona is just that of an asshole space cadet but as a person, I always got the impression he wasn't a shithead.

I cannot express how much I'd also like to see a KRS-One/BDP biopic.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

While I totally agree, I'm sure 95% of the people presented with such a movie would go "Who?"

Yeah if you don't like the premise of the movie, you probably won't be as thrilled about it. |

I'm a big fan of rap and hip-hop, but this just looks like a music video.

More like VH1's Behind the Music... but I liked those when they were made about artists I enjoy. |
