Straight Outta Compton chronicles the story of the legendary Hip-Hop group Niggaz With Attitude. Based on true events, the movie focuses on the Compton California crew featuring Easy E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, and MC Ren.
Dre and Yella are popular DJ’s at a club run by Alonzo Williams. After being arrested, Dre convinces drug dealer Eric Wright to invest money into funding Ruthless Records. Cube writes the track Boys in the Hood for a rap group named Home Boys Only, who reject the song.
With Cube unable to record due to prior commitments, they convince Wright to perform. The journey advances on a ride through the peak of the group’s popularity during the early 90’s, and concludes with Easy E‘s death, along with Dr. Dre‘s departure from Death Row Records.
