As the release date for Straight Outta Compton draws closer as the seconds go by, the film’s cast and remaining group members are campaigning hard for the film’s success. To maximize the film’s current exposure, Ice Cube and the film’s stars sat down with Hot 97 to discuss the importance of the film, just how extensive the story of N.W.A goes on screen, Hip-Hop beef, and so much more in the nearly 26-minute interview. Ice Cube even went as far as speaking on his current relationship with the group’s former manager, Jerry Heller, and gave his thoughts on police brutality.
Straight Outta Compton releases in theaters everywhere on August 14 and if you haven’t heard already, Dr. Dre will be releasing an album in support of the film. Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre will be in stores on August 7. All in all, the ducks are surely in a row to ensure that Straight Outta Compton is a massive success.
