I watched it. It resisted watching it because I had a bad feeling about it. Then, I watched it, probably because I thought I should... just to be sure that my inclination was right. It was.
The very way they portray black women in that movie is shameful and shameless. "Straight Outta Compton"? How about straight out of 18th century America when the slavemaster could denigrate black women however they pleased? The only thing more detrimental to the black community than many of these rap artists - who revived and popularized the "N-word" for everyone's use - is drug dealers, themselves.
Watch the movie, if you must. Then, throw it away.
