Marcus Taylor, Lakeith Lee Stanfield, Carra Patterson, Elena Goode, Alexandra Shipp, Tate Ellington, Corey Reynolds.In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking viewers back to where it all began, the film tells the true story of how these cultural rebels-armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent-stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A.Rating: R; for language throughout, strong sexuality/nudity, violence, and drug use.DVD, region 1, NTSC, widescreen (2.40:1) presentation; Dolby digital 5.1 (English, French, Spanish), Dolby digital 2.0 (English), English DVS 2.0.- Subjects: Biographical films.; Fiction films.; Feature films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Video recordings for people with visual disabilities.; N.W.A.

- Parental discretion is advised : the rise of N.W.A and the dawn of gangsta rap / by Kennedy, Gerrick,author.(CARDINAL)416686;
Compton's n the house -- Panic zone -- Dopeman -- Something 2 dance 2 -- LA is the place -- I ain't tha 1 -- Niggaz ... with attitude -- Gangsta gangsta -- Parental discretion iz advised -- AmeriKKKa's most wanted -- Appetite for destruction -- SA prize -- Who got the camera? -- Nothin' but a 'G' thang -- Eternal E.Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella caused a seismic shift in hip-hop when they decided to form N.W.A in 1986. Suddenly rap became gangsta and relevant on the West Coast. With their hard-core image, bombastic sound, and lyrics that were by turns poetic, lascivious, socially conscious, and downright in-your-face, N.W.A spoke the truth about life on the streets of Compton, California--at the time a hotbed of poverty, drugs, gangs, and unemployment. Their hood tales offered a sharp contrast to the cozy, comfortable images of thriving middle-class life emanating from television screens across America. For the group, making music was not about being nice or projecting a false reality. It was all about expressing themselves. Through firsthand interviews and exhaustive research, Los Angeles Times music reporter Gerrick D. Kennedy transports readers back in time and offers a front-row seat to N.W.A's early days and the drama and controversy that followed the incendiary group as they rose to become multiplatinum artists. Kennedy leaves nothing off the table in his pursuit of the full story behind the group's most pivotal moments, including Ice Cube's decision to go solo after their debut studio album became a smash hit, the forming of Ruthless Records, the group's confrontation with the FBI over their inflammatory lyrics, incidents of physical assault, Dr. Dre's decision to launch Death Row Records with Suge Knight, N.W.A's impact on the 1992 LA riots, Eazy-E's battle with AIDS, and much more. A riveting and illuminating work of music journalism, [this book] captures a defining moment in rap music, when N.W.A made it altogether social, freaky, enterprising, and gangsta. They forced us all to take notice. For that reason alone, their story must be told.- Subjects: Biographies.; N.W.A. (Musical group); Rap musicians; Rap (Music);
