Gary Gray (the man behind Ice Cube’s Friday) and his team of writers chose to address all of this in one film. As a colleague remarked while exiting the screening, you could make an entire trilogy of films out of this backstory alone - one focusing on how the group formed during the violent climate of Compton, California one about splitting off to pursue solo ventures and perhaps a third about Eazy-E’s struggle with and eventual death from AIDS. It’s more impressive, too, when you consider the implications of something like Straight Outta Compton, which is about the rise and fall of N.W.A. Though these guys have been building up their resumes for some time, they’ve been waiting for their scene-stealing roles. His co-stars, especially Hawkins as Dre and Mitchell as Eazy-E, are not to be overshadowed, either.
