How can you say NWA wasn't an anti-establishment group? How can you say Straight outta compton was a minstrel show when that is exactly what Flavor Flav is. Flav been a clown from the start and Chuck still allowed him to be in the group. PE just wasn't as popular as NWA. I think they was only popular on the East Coast because Ive never heard anyone jam them in the southi said this shyt all week......HOLLYWOOD will greenlight a NWA movie...cause it's basically about N1GGAS who became famous for being N1GGAS

PUBLIC ENEMY SCARES THE ESTABLISHMENT.......especailly when u make a song called BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN and you make blatant refrences to Jews...
ain't no way in hell them zionist studios would greenlight a movie like that
to be honest....STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is a glorified minstrel show.....NWA wasn't the anti-establishment group that advocates love to promote it as

how would a bone movie be appealing. i know nothinbg of their backstory. enlighten me.And thats what people will pay to see?
boys in the hood is a movie about kids growing up in gang life
a wu movie would be kids growing up in gang lfie, whilst simulatebnously witnessing the birth of hip hop, being the first b boys walking the streets of nyc, gungights and trials and turning it into hip hop royalty. ODB wouldnt be a ill movie charcter? stop hating mark. somthing tells me its more interesting than bizzybone having peen pushed into his butt as a child.
them being the first bboys in hop hop would eb a coming of age movie in itself, let alone then becoming the biggest rap group of the 90s. and before you say bone, bone is dead. and been dead. wu may be irrelevent in 2015 but wu can still get on mainstream tv,radiio movies no problem.
bone is broolyn zoo status right now

Dead to who? You? Again, youre a delusional east coast nikka who thinks your opinion is fact. Bone riding halfway across the country to freestyle for eazy e> wu tang existence. Kids in 2015 can relate to that sacrifice and grind.
i kno it players club, i seen then movie a few times, i just forgot it was a ice cube film cuz his role wasnt that bignikka.

Musically, if you go group vs. group (meaning leave the solo work out), Public Enemy is far superior to NWA. Dre even admits he was listening to PE to get ideas because their sound was so far ahead of them. Lyrically, again PE blows them out of the water. Chuck D was a grown man when PE was started while NWA were just boys, and it shows. I'm not taking anything away from NWA but you can't even compare their output.

You could certainly make a compelling movie out of just about any of the big classic hip hop groups. There are plenty of stories to tell--PE, Bone, Wu-Tang, etc. I mean, the Geto Boys and all of their drama?
Plenty of stories. Whether people would show up or not, I don't know--depends on how well it is done and a million other factors.

I never met one person who prefers PE over NWA, foh
Some of y'all will bring East/West Coast shyt into anything...
I'm all for there being more biopics, but they'd def. have to be quality movies about artists who have real stories worth giving two hours and money to... the only problem I'd see is that it'd become so successful, everybody'd start poppin' up with one and before you know it, there's a movie about Naughty by Nature or Spice 1 or whoever...
A PE movie would do well... and I'm not sure what world we're in where this group had a limited appeal... they, just like NWA, were selling millions and headlining tours without radio play or massive MTV support. They were every bit as popular, although they weren't able to have similar success once the members branched off on their own. Still, their story is one that could definitely be turned into a movie...

It Takes a Nation of Millions is often in the conversation for best rap album of all time. Fear of a Black Planet is sometimes mentioned for that as well. I have never heard of Straight Outta Compton being in that conversation.
The Straight Outta Compton effect: prepare to see a lot more rap films
The Straight Outta Compton effect: prepare to see a lot more rap films
The success of the NWA film has seen a renewed interest in formerly floundering biopics about the likes of Tupac, Ol’ Dirty b*stard and Public Enemy.
Straight Outta Compton has wildly exceeded expectations at the box office. In its second weekend the NWA biopic surged past the $100m mark – blockbuster status – and it only cost $29m to make. It will certainly top 2002’s 8 Mile, starring Eminem, which made about $117m. The last high-profile rap movie to hit multiplexes, 2009’s Notorious, did well too, nearly doubling its $20m budget. You don’t need an MBA to suspect that Hollywood is now taking notice and ready to make more money out of hip-hop biopics.
There have already been reports of a Straight Outta Compton sequel, which would take up roughly where the original left off, focusing on Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Dogg and Tupac. This would make a certain sense, considering that Straight Outta Compton ends abruptly, with Snoop and Tupac appearing only briefly, and Tha Dogg Pound (AKA Daz and Kurupt) barely getting any screen time at all. I seriously doubt it will have the title that Daz mentioned to TMZ – Dogg Pound 4 Life – however. For the film to have serious Hollywood backing it would probably need to focus on Snoop or Tupac, who are household names. (A representative for the studio behind the original, Universal, says it has no plans for a Straight Outta Compton sequel.)
Speaking of Tupac, Straight Outta Compton’s success seems likely to finally bring about a biopic about him. The most recent version was slated to be directed by Boyz N the Hood director John Singleton, who also directed ’Pac in Poetic Justice. But actor Marcc Rose, who played him in Straight Outta Compton and who bears an uncanny resemblance to the late rapper, says that he and Singleton are currently in talks about bringing the project to life.
A true Straight Outta Compton sequel – at least in the spiritual sense – would probably require the involvement of Ice Cube. Unlike his co-producer Dr Dre, who was initially skeptical about the NWA film, Cube long pushed for it. But since their musical pathways diverged when Cube went solo in 1989, he wasn’t especially involved in the careers of Snoop, Tupac or Tha Dogg Pound. Hence, he probably wouldn’t be much invested in a film about them. Closer to his heart would be a film about Public Enemy, who have long been closely aligned with Cube (their producers the Bomb Squad co-produced his first album Amerikkka’s Most Wanted).
When asked about such a film recently, Cube said he was game. For his part, Public Enemy’s leader Chuck D didn’t show as much enthusiasm – “I ain’t acting in it, and I ain’t writing the script. Where do I figure into Hollywood?” he told the Washington Post – but he didn’t rule out the idea completely either.
It’s easy to see why a Public Enemy movie might work as well as an NWA one. The groups gained popularity in the same era – hip-hop’s golden age, in the late 80s and early 90s – against a politically charged backdrop, each fighting the effects of Reaganism. But more importantly, they’re at the center of an emerging, hugely-popular new genre of music: classic rap. Just as classic rock became a dominant radio format a few decades after the dawn of rock ‘n’ roll, classic rap stations are now spreading across the country. In the same way Paul and John, and Mick and Keith, are being re-discovered by each subsequent generation, Dre and Snoop, and Chuck D and Flava Flav, are now beloved by kids who weren’t yet born when they were in their heyday. Not to mention that the now-middle aged folks who grew up with this music are a potent demographic, as well. Straight Outta Compton showed just how much strong this fan base is.
Could it even work for the Ice Cream Man? Why not? No Limit Records founder Master P never reached the mainstream in the way NWA did, but his label sold millions upon millions of albums, and a generation of fans now thinks of it as “oldies”. So perhaps, then, one shouldn’t be surprised that the Master P biopic has begun holding casting calls.
Indeed, artists from previous eras, who are no longer on the charts, tend to make the most compelling subjects for these types of films. I’d love to see a biopic on Lil Wayne, for example, but one suspects that if it were released 20 years from now, it would be a lot juicier content. (In the meantime, The Carter is one of the best music documentaries I’ve ever seen.)
To be honest, Straight Outta Compton’s tribute to Eazy-E made me long for something similar about another deceased great. And so I say: Bring on the Ol’ Dirty b*stard biopic, already!
