In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking viewers back to where it all began, the film tells the true story of how these cultural rebels-armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent-stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Start of Gangsta Rap submitted by echao on July 30, 2016, 8:47am This was an intimate look into the start of Gansta, hard, street rap. If you are a fan of this genre, this is a must see. They touch upon the struggles of the people and the effect from the Rodney King trial. Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Easy E were all likable characters (even if this was a stretch since they or their families were the producers). Overall, it was highly entertaining.
