Spoiler!
Didn't even realize that the movie was 2.5hrs long but I felt there were a few gaps in the individual stories (ie: Dre/Dee Barnes, Ren) figured at its current length a lot was left on the cutting room floor but it was a good representation of NWA's rise and the focus on Cube, E and Dre as NWA fell apart.
Great character portrayals notably young Snoop, E and Pac - seriously looked exactly like him.
Loved the bits of humour scattered throughout:
"Today was fuckin' nuts, some gangster got on our bus and pulled out a gun and gave a fuckin' motivational speech."
"Oh she's a little preoccupied. What you say? I said she's got a dick in her mouth!"
"Bye, Felicia!"
"What's your name again? Brian. Go eat a dick Brian, get the fuck out my house".
Hard to watch E's scene with the HIV diagnosis and death but it emphasized his impact to the group and industry.
Also,
- No Vaseline, real diss track
- Dre in the studio and seeing Pac in the booth, California Love plays and kills it
- Suge Knight portrayed perfectly, like the asshole that he is
