    Gentlemen,
    How about we return to the original theme of this thread, if you've seen the movie and want to comment, share your opinion. But, let's not stray too far afield shall we.
    Thanks, Ken

    "An Open Letter To NYC"

    Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
    From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
    Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
    Black, White, New York you make it happen

    Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers
    Writers, prize fighters and Wall Street traders
    We come together on the subway cars
    Diversity unified, whoever you are
    We're doing fine on the One and Nine line
    On the L we're doin' swell
    On the number Ten bus we fight and fuss
    'Cause we're thorough in the boroughs and that's a must
    I remember when the Duece was all porno flicks
    Running home after school to play PIX * 1
    At lunch I'd go to Blimpies down on Montague Street
    And hit the Fulton Street Mall for the sneakers on my feet
    Dear New York I hope you're doing well
    I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell
    So, we give thanks for providing a home
    Through your gates at Ellis Island we passed in droves

    Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
    From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
    Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
    Black, White, New York you make it happen

    The L.I.E. the B.Q.E
    Hippies at the band shell with the L.S.D.
    Get my BVD's from VIM
    You know I'm reppin' Manhattan the best I can
    Stopped off at Bleeker Bob's got thrown out
    Sneakin' in at 4:00 am after going out
    You didn't rob me in the park at Dianna Ross
    But everybody started looting when the light went off
    From the South South Bronx on out to Queens Bridge
    From Hollis Queens right down to Bay Ridge
    From Castle Hill to the Lower East Side
    From 1010 WINS to Live At Five
    Dear New York this is a love letter
    To you and how you brought us together
    We can't say enough about all you do
    'Cause in the city were ourselves and electric too

    Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
    From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
    Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
    Black, White, New York you make it happen

    Shout out the South Bronx where my mom hails from
    Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem
    To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
    Before they moved on down to the Upper West
    I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
    Life long we dedicate this song
    Just a little something to show some respect
    To the city that blends and mends and tests
    Since 911 we're still livin'
    And lovin' life we've been given
    Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us
    Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust
    Dear New York I know a lot has changed
    2 towers down but you're still in the game
    Home to many rejecting know one
    Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they're from

    Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
    From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
    Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
    Black, White, New York you make it happen

    I'll wait for Netflix probably, but that's pretty standard for most movies for me.

    The first time I heard of NWA was when the video for "Express Yourself" came out, probably saw it on Yo! MTV Raps back in the day. As a group they each brought different things to the table, my favorite being Ice Cube. Eazy's stuff was lowbrow and I felt the weakest. To judge them by one song is unfortunate.

    Another guy I like associated with Death Row and NWA is The D.O.C.

    Ok bought the Blu Ray yesterday, and enjoyed it, the audio on this is killa Yo, joking aside loved this movie in the theatre, but loved it more in my HT the house was vibrating that's for sure me and the wife are not much into gangsta rap but we have always listened to NWA, Snoop Dog, and Dre. We will watch this multiple times it's that good, just ordered the Soundtrack, and honestly this probably will be my favorite Blu Ray for the time being.

    Sounds like it's worth the purchase. I was debating on buying it or renting it.

    Excellent movie watched it last night most likely will buy it on blu-ray. Good thing Pioneer sent me a update disc for my Pioneer bd51 or I would not of been able to watch. Before update disc would not load after 20 min of updateness worked like a charm. Who knew going from 1.72 to 1.74 would make such a difference :)

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I just watched it 2 nights ago on HBO as well. I thought it was a decent movie. The story was good, acting not so much.

    I enjoyed the movie. Being a fan of MC Ren, Cube , early Snoop, Dr. Dre. , Eze E. Actors they cast were believable. They never touched on the verbal war of words Dre and E battled each other on their albums? Maybe the estate of E would not let that included? Shug Knight was shown to be the ruthless killer that he is. I think right now he is facing first degree murder charges for running over a guy he hated with his Ford Raptor. Peace. D
