Black History Month and the 50th anniversary of hip-hop conclude with our screening of Straight Outta Compton. This passionate biopic explores the formation of the pioneering gangster rap group N.W.A. with original member Ice Cube portrayed by his son O'Shea Jackson Jr.
As mentioned, the movie returns to Cineworld to mark the fifth decade of the hip-hop genre. N.W.A. helped redefine music for black audiences as they harnessed a wider sense of discontent and anger to speak to disenfranchised communities the world over.
Straight Outta Compton dives straight into this creative yet controversial period in music history, and we asked the guys from the award-winning 90s Baby Show to go even deeper.
Check out their breakdown in the following video.
