Straight Outta Compton

Fictionalized account of the birth of popular (gangsta) rap and the rise and fall of the group  N.W.A. responsible for bringing this music to the nation. Five men used this music to convey their reality of life on the hard streets of Compton California (and every other city and town where violence and racism were endemic) for African Americans.  Interesting story, well-acted and  great soundtrack.
