I love F Gary Gray, but I'm not supporting Straight Outta Compton.
I'm not supporting it because it seems like a white savior movie in disguise based on the trailers. But most importantly, N.W.A didn't only rap misogynoiristic lyrics, but they lived their lives misogynistically.
All that awful shyt they said about black women in their music, they actually did those things to living, breathing black women. Misoynoir wasn't just some lyrical fodder; it was their lifestyle.
Dr Dre, in particular, nearly killed two black women, one the mother of his children--after years and years of abusing her. Beats by Dre, as pointed out by Anika Falcon, is the cruelest of ironies/Freudian slips.
"Dre Day" is a song about how Dre and Snoop Dogg plan to rape Eazy-E and Luther Campbellas a means to humiliate them. Queerantagonism abounds: "Now here's a jimmy joke about your momma that you might not like: I heard she was a 'Frisco dyke. But fukk your momma...."
His new album, #Compton, will be out soon. He's donating the proceeds of the album to the building of a stadium in Compton, supposedly to create jobs, but really as the first strike in gentrification/invasion.
Where his proceeds should really go is to women's shelters and scholarships to pay for gender and race studies courses--to help undo some of the damage him and his posse have wreaked.
That's just my opinion. I know a black woman MUST have said all of these things before me, but y'all didn't listen or didn't care.
.....I saw that on my Facebook. Besides him telling dre where to spend his money that was a fair assessment
I'm still going to see it though
