Cube must be really really really proud of his son...
+ullysses silverio all actors should be proud best movie of 2015
Jorge Felipe Mussi BOUT TO WITNESS THE POWER OF STREET KNOWLEDGE
He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth
@@bigyouth7871 or ass
Why he SUCKED
in the movie there's a scene where cube says hes got a kid on the way....the guy saying the line is the kid that was on the way..... MIND ANNIHILATED
Haha
+01hondascott haha i "i got a baby on the way"
oh awesome, congrats
I had the exact same thought the first time I watched the movie!
I thought I was the only one!
Jason Mitchell deserves an Oscar for his role he killed it
Frfr
they all do
Both for that and The Chi
nah fr 😭😭 i’m sorry young and i felt this on a new level
@@kollector2125 The Chi would be a emmy
can you imagine how weird Cube must've felt watching his kid act out the shit he did? lmao
Caleb Pack moe I was looking for dis 🤣🤣🤣
How’s that weird , tf 💀🤚🏽
俄文‘ blasian usually you want the best for your kids and watching someone go through what you did, especially your own blood is kinda off
@@maddie-gj3sn bih they not saying it's a bad thing tf you talm bout
@@maddie-gj3sn you clearly don't understand what he meant.
oshea holding the mic like he’s gonna rap . 🤣
I thought I was the only one who noticed that lol
He held it just like his father
which one
eley jr
😅
man o'shea jr. is a splitting image of his ol man looks-wise and the way he talks. he speaks with a clear mind and knows what hes talking about just like cube
The fuck you on about son get off the drugs
LS fuck are u on
@@user-xe1ol7xh4i Proofreading is essential!
cube probably sleeps in his sunglasses just in case there's a chance of somebody seeing him without them
He does his best to hide his street cred 😂 Shouts out Cube... GO GETTER!
All famous stoners use sunglasses because it stops people from seeing they eyes blood red snoop does the same
@@killa8811 Cube ain't a stoner he doesn't smoke weed so often.I guess
You can see them in his undercover real ice cube video. He has really pretty eyes
I really felt this movie.. I advise seeing it.. Thumbs up
+UniverseOfficial legitimate universal right there.
yo bro... thats true shit
absolutely love the movie, it was brilliantly done, it looked 100% authentic
Yes. It's a essential part of American history this movie
One thing i hated about the movie is how much MC Ren and DJ Yella were left out
il b honest, I never heard of them before this movie
+iiFUR10US And they missed out the Eazy E x Dre Beef. Movie was still dope.
+JATT6976 they did somehow bring it up a little bit, by introducing that dr. dre was doing some stuff with this new guy snoop dogg... but still it would make it hard to understand why dr. dre would sit just next to E´s bed right before he died when he just made a track about how wack dr. dre is. The movie was already 2 hours +. So they had to cut it out.
+iiFUR10US That's because that is not the light they wanted to shine on the movie. I've seen it 3 times (it was that dope) and i grew up in the time of NWA. Yeah, many people feel like the Dre/Eazy beef shoulda been more explored in the movie, but Dre, Cube and Gary all felt like that would take away from the image they are trying to portray with this movie. We all know what happen, and that's cool, they know this, but for the new fans or people who didn't even listen to NWA or wasn't born in that timezone when they came out, they wanted them to see NWA and their struggles as a group; the important parts. They also didn't talk about the album they made when Cube first left the group, or the fact that Dre had 2 brothers who were killed, not just the one. Alot was left out, yes, but the movie still made its point.
+iiFUR10US I Agree & MC Ren Was Pissed About That He Loved The Movie But He Didn't Get Much Recognition
Today it's 28 years since Eazy-E passed away,fly high E. We still miss you.
We really do he rubed off on me I really want to be like him I promised my self I would be like him one day and 8 mean it but not selling that stuff
"The way my bank account set up" Haha! I love the kevin hart reference
+Amila Dzananovic that's why kevin never hangs out with d wade
+Amila Dzananovic I noticed that, too. Great call

Yo Brother that played Eazy. Don’t let these movie scars stay with you Brother. Repent them away and let God deal with his business. He never disappoints😁👍🏾 #EvilMenAreHumbled
i didnt get it please enlighten me
It just hit me. F Gary Gray was the dude from Friday that was kicking Ezell out of the store for fake falling! Incredible director. Incredible movie.
Omg...lol I knew that dude looked familiar I thought he was a rapper..🤦🏿♀️...in Friday I recognized him...but couldn't place thanks I probably would have never knew
O shit I just remembered
Omg thx it just hit me too since u said it
Man get yo ass up, it ain't even wet over here! ...Damn! Lol
He was also the radio host in the Boyz b the hood screen
I have to say, they absolutely nailed the cast for this film. Nailed it.
I'm so proud of cube...when asked about the beef between him and ez he praised him instead of talking about the beef 👌well done my brother
Cuz he's one of the real ones 💪🏽💪🏽
He's the true man
cubes son not only looks like him, but has the same stance, aura, presence...all the things...its dope!
Damn, O'Shea Jr. even shakes his head from side to side when he is trying to make a point like his dad does... Wow. Cloned.
Grown ass man talkin bout clones
i bet dj yella and mc ren are feelin left out, especially the actors.
Hence the reason why the MC Ren actor isn't even there lol
Cuz they left the group before they did the movie come out and also early
Well Dr. Dre and Eazy E and Ice cube were the faces of the movie and the other 2 know that😊
@@matisantos1575 Ren and yella were just as important. Ren and Cube wrote Eazys lyrics. Respect to all guys though
@@joeaskew-strutt4631 not all of them tho
I loved the movie, the cast, and I'm happy that F. Gary Gray was the director and producer of this movie... All black baby yessssssss... I grew up on NWA...
As a white fan of NWA I loved the film and felt it was so authentic everyone did an incredible job.
same here, I don’t know anything about the life but I enjoyed the movie. This movie is a must watch for people for tolerant white people who want to see a rebellion against oppression. When I heard straight outta Compton for the first time when I was 9, I thought it was bad because my grandpa was a cop. Knowing what a rebellion is now at 17, I definitely think that this made everybody during the time think about joining in a movement. Black power is a movement, BLM is a movement. If I had never seen this movie or 42 growing up, I would’ve been the ignorant white cop that was searching cube for dope. I love my grandpa, and he was oppressive too, but he was actually the one to tell me that he doesn’t see it as authority, he sees it as protection. No power, oppression, or profiling, he just wanted to keep his grandkids that lives four houses down on a road near the city safe. He was never the ignorant cop, just the one fortunate enough to know the difference and to look out for who’s really responsible. He died in 2018, and I learned a lot about him after he died. Including that he saved a black man from a burning car when his other officers were secure a perimeter. He hated the other officers but he did what was right. I respect the director and I love this movie. If someone says I can’t like this movie, I’m gonna tell them everyone can. Rebellion is good. Good is out there. Be good. Love y’all.

Jason Mitchell's voice went from Eazy-E to Will Smith in a matter of seconds. 😂
Cube is such a huge inspiration man! "Do what you wanna do, don't care if you get radio play or not and stay creative. Dont try to be the next NWA or Cube or Dre, stay true to yourself". People like, for example my parents, think rappers are always those aggressive people talking about killing one another. I think im the only one in my family who's really into hip hop, which is ashame actually.
same
Same
Same here lol
Word up
What an honour for a son to play his dad's work biopsy.
I am a "die hard" Ice Cube fan, and actually met him after a Mike Tyson fight in Vegas. While his son looks just like him and is a great actor NO ONE can imitate Ice Cubes voice!
Lucky!
Right like Fu** the police.😆😂🤣
Any Body Seen the PoPo🤣
MC Ren and DJ Yella are so underrated and ignored..
And D.O.C
I love how Jason laughs without smiling xD 9:35
Ice Cube is an important civil rights activist. IMHO his good works should be taught in public schools. BIG LOVE.
I watched this movie two day ago and I haven't seen a good movie like this in a really long time....this movie is a amazing and I give it 10/10 stars....
Ice cube when he seen the reviews for this movie: Today was a good day
The most inspiring movie I've seen in a long time! Big respect to everyone involved in making it happen! A true classic!
It's been a minute since NWA movie came out, but I can't help but to continue talking about it and watching it! Everyone is speaking on O'Shea Jr. He did good playing his daddy as well as the other actors, Corey Hawkins, and Jason Mitchell. There could never be but one Ice Cube, Kim your a lucky woman to have and kept this fine black, intelligent, out going Man! Thumbs up sister! Cube I'm still rocking Death Certificate while running on my tread every day! Come on back with some real hard core rap as you do.
@10:50 whenever O'Shea Jr. Speaks, a vibe is formed out of thin air
It's a decent movie, not perfect but it's good. Everyone listening to 90s gangsta rap will love it. Ice Cube's son is 99% Ice Cube in the movie it's crazy, and funny as well
There were a lot of people, myself included, that don't listen to much gangsta rap, who loved it. Consider that and history lesson for us. It drew in a very large white audience as well. A merely decent movie to me is something like Notorious. IMO no movie is ever 100% perfect, nor can it be, but this one, I thought, was one of the best music biopics, and arguably one if the best biopics in general, ever made. Even better than one of my personal favorites, Ray and What's Love Got to Do With It. It was a major box office hit, even beating out Walk the Line. It's the kind of movie that I think will go down in history. It's shows a lot more than just the music, which isn't too common in most music biopics.
Bex G I wouldn't go that far to call it one of the best music biopics, taking into account that Eazy wasn't there to work on the film to see it form his perspective as well. Right there we're missing a whole 1/3 of the movie, one whole perspective. Not having one person who is integral part of the main story is a big defect.
Nevertheless, the movie still can be great without one main person. The movie kind of glorifies Dre too much in my opinion, and although he is a visionary, it was a bit too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Dre fan and wish him all the best, but it was not skeptical regarding Dre character.
Overall the movie tries to cram too much into itself which hurts the general feel and harmony, although it's not terrible and serves the purpose, it still has negative effects. Acting wasn't the best either, but it was pretty good. Writing is poor.
But I liked it. It was...good.
+Micic00 oh I disagree entirely. I thought they (mainly Jason) did a very good job giving Eazy's perspective. Although the movie has it's slight biases and omissions , I think I does an excellent job focusing on the rise, fall, and impact of NWA as a whole. It also does a good job with the subject of police brutality and the effect that NWA had on that coming to light. I think it really shows the brotherly bond between the group and how the money disagreements had an effect on that. I loved the cinematography. The second half IMO wasn't as good as the first, but it didn't fall off too much for me. It just felt slightly gappy in the second hour. As far as the acting goes, I thought that for the most part it was great. Jason did a phenomenal job not just as Eazy but in general his acting just came off so natural and effortless IMO. Corey was good, I though O'Shea was adequate. He sold me as his father, but his technical acting skills weren't great. Paul was amazing too. Just my opinion.
Bex G Compared to general Hollywood garbage they keep producing this is pretty good.
It's hard to tell what is Eazy's perspective when he's not around to express it. We can say we've heard him and read his words but it's still an assumption and you can't honestly claim you know if they did or did not portray his perspective in a good way and view on the whole situation.
I do like the police brutality part, it's always an important reminder and the "fuck the police" that came afterwards really made it great.
As far as acting goes I have my standards :P
I honestly think it's sub-par, especially the guy doing Dre (forgot his name). The other two were good. Supporting cast was ok.
Your opinion, my opinion. We're here to talk, not necessarily to agree :D
Micic00 absolutely! It's just about personally preference. It depends on what you like. I was always OK with disagreeing. I don't know your standards, but mine are pretty simple. For me to think the acting is good, it just has to feel natural, not over the top, but still make me feel something. I thought Corey Hawkins who plays Dre gave a better performance than O'Shea, but to me Jason Mitchell gave the best performance, aside from Paul who's like veteran, so his great acting didn't surprise me. Jason blew me away though. I thought it was definitely an Oscar-worthy performance. As far as getting Eazy's perspective down, obvious it wouldn't be exactly correct cause he's not here. But I think they did the best they could with what they had to get his perspective down, like Jason talking to the people closest to Eazy.
he even sounds like eazy
Not even close buddy, Eazy had a very unique voice
What the hell u talking about? He really don’t sound like him at all
No he don’t Bc Eazy had a unique voice but he did have to drop his real accent
Davionne Taylor I said that 4 years ago do you think I still care
@@rainemiller3567 hello from the future :D
I just imagine the feelings dre went through seeing such a good impersonation of eazy e. I wonder if he teared up
In another interview they said alot of the nwa members had to leave the set during the hospital scene. because they couldnt handle the emotions
Straight Outta Compton was a good movie I enjoyed watching the movie. The actors that portrayed NWA did a great job playing NWA they captured the essence of NWA.
Word up , they killed it
ANYBODY THINK THAT JASON MITCHELL LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE EAZY E......DAM,,,,MABYE HE SHOULD TOUR WITH N.W.A............he did a great job in the movie of playing eazy e
@Tomas Pantik yo don't be so harsh
That'll be nice!!!
The actors for the film (all of them) made a historical hit story!
I love how some people clapped when everybody went up there but when ice cube and his son come out there goin crazy
The fact that they said not all cops are bad is pretty dope
When Cube was writing Friday in the movie, I just realized that the little kid playing in the hallway was actually the guy playing him
The ENTIRE cast made this movie legendary.....along with the writing/editing....EVERYTHING.....we watch this movie at LEAST ONCE a year....sometimes twice. I took a trip to Compton.....man - from a Texas kid....I'll buck steers any day than running the streets of Compton lol.....Compton....seriously....is a GREAT place....but it's CRAZY lol.....Crazy enough to put out a BILLION dollar enterprise called NWA.....isn't life GREAT? Thanks to all who made this movie.....
Ice Cube has to be really proud of his kid. He’s a really talented guy and not all celebrity kids are…he definitely got the good genes
saw the movie three times and will do again tomorrow. its great. i love all them and Ice Cube is such a wise man. If you reading this, do the heart sign cause i love you
Cube's son holds the mich as if he was rapping, probably still in Movie mode.
I enjoyed this watching the interview…they all did so well!!!! Ice Cube has a beautiful family! They all did well in this cast interview!
They all spoke knowledge!!All of these men did an awesome job in the movie!❤🎥
He said he's from the hood hood not the rap hood 😂😂😂. Ah love it!!
I love this movie took me back in time....... Real hip-hop
Me too! I was an extra on the movie it took me back to 87-88-89-90- 91-92 and 93
Straight outta _____
God I love this movie it is 1 of my favorites !! I remember them back in the day my brother and I would kick it to NWA its awesome to watch their story
Two words Phenomenal Interview
Great movie. It was like going back in time when I was watching it. 👍👍
Jason better not have fucked up my role
EAZY, HI
77nani1 wuz good
Eazy e let's rap real muthaphuckin GS together brotha 💯💜
YOU'RE ALIVEEEE
Eazy E 😂😂😂
Since Gary Gray is on the stage too, I was looking for an appropriate time to use the “Getcho ass up, it ain’t even wet over there” line.
Love this interview; very important questions answered with in depth elaboration, especially from Cube. I got a new found kind of respect for him now.
I grew up listening to NWA, but I never knew what NWA was going through. Ice Cube is inspiring and very talented; he was my favorite one. Ice Cube's son deserves an Oscar; to me; he stole the show.
i feel like they need to also give a lot of credit to Aldis Hodge who played Ren and Neil Brown Jr who played Yella cus they did a great job on yella and ren fr fr
Jason @ 29:57 !! "This is news." Lmao! God I hope it's true. These guys killed the acting in this film. I hope to see them in much much more.
Nwa gave a voice for voiceless of truth,good luck guys,holler at your boy.
39:52 the flie on Ice Cubes head be like "Yeah I feel ya homie"
this video is so inspiring, because I'm an aspiring actress and I've been stressing for a while wonder how I'm going to fulfill my goals. the thought of not doing so scares me so much and I know that I just need so much help..
Each and every actor in the movie was fantastic. I've now seen it 4 or 5 times. When Eazy-e dies in the movie, it makes me cry every time.
This video made me go watch the movie for the first time. It was definitely a 10 out of 10.
that part in the movie when cube switched out all the straws like nobody notice
Lmaoo one of the dudes had asked him what he was doing lol.😭 it was just faint it in the back.
Obviously Ice Cube and Dre were there to help them out during filming, but what about M.C Ren and Yella?
or arabian prince
The prince is the newest member,not making any hits with the group,so u would understand why he was left out,but I dont get why they left out the MC and DJ yella
Love these guys and this movie but i wish the actors who played mc ren and dj yella got so exposure to they all did great
That's good them brother put in work In a good way and gave back to they communities !May GOD Bless y'all!
this interview hits SO different post George Flyod!! omg i have chillls
Fantastic interview, absolutely superb. One of my favourite movies in the world. No doubt about it
This movie hit me in the feels
I'm watching the movie now....
1/11/20 i love this movie
I saw the movie in 2015 they brought back good memories watching on the news and listening to the music in high school I brought back memories I thought again and 2022 The actor that play easy-E And the performance was awesome that he did an ice cube son wow looked exactly like him and 80s
Jason Mitchell O'Shea Jackson Cory Hawkins you guys were the perfect combination for the movie love you guys awesome job I love it and I know it wasn't easy incredible for real
Does anyone even remember MC Ren and Yella anymore?
........Damn Cube...
I like the fact that Cube mentioned "war on black youths", because every young black male is not and was not a gangbanger at that time. As the movie portrays it Cube grew up in a two parent home. And from looking at documentaries on Eazy-E, his mother and father were still together after his death.
I love ice cube and his son and the whole curse🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The claps were definitely before everyone saw the movie ! Very light! Peace!
o’shea holding the microphone like he about to perform a song
I’ve got a kid on the way - cube
I’ve got a kid on the way - the kid that was on the way
Lol Cube and Oshea hold the mic the same way
"Shakespeare had bars"
What a great interview
2015, 7 Years the time fly´s
Law Abding citizen was one of my top fav movies..he made that. Wow.
O’Shea jr LOOKS JUST LIKE CUBE
The funniest part of this is the way O'Shae holds his mic.
Yeah, that's a rapper's kid, right there.
no doubt this movie had great actors
12:44 still happening. Rip George Floyd
The general story was given but a lot was left out . The impact of NWA on the music industry was revolutionary ....
36:53 look at corey LMAO
?
Its weird that ice cube's son and the rest of his kids can just get on you tube and see their dad's video and interviews from his past. 😮
Geez..his son looks just like him. The eyes.
Why was Arabian Prince left out of the movie??
Wow, nvr knew Gary Gray was the cuute duude from Friday, in the liquor store AND that he directed The Negotiator, another amazing frkn movie.
Movie was fire 🔥
1:55 anyone else get the kevin hart joke?
This movie is so fucking good.
40:41 Jason Mitchell really preferred getting called by his own name lool
Well spoken Cube
This guy playing eazy actually looks like lil eazy e.
Ikr
Anyone watching this in 2020 and the issues are still happening?
2021 too. Sad
Straight Outta New Orleans yaaaaasss!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Insane Movie !!
kinda messed up how they don't have the actors for yella and ren at these kinds of things
