A little info on the upcoming N.W.A biopic

Now I don't a lot of info on the upcoming biopic on N.W.A, but I have the cast who'll be in the film:

Jason Mitchell ... Eazy-E
Corey Hawkins ... Dr. Dre
O'Shea Jackson Jr. ... Ice Cube
Aldis Hodge ... MC Ren
Neil Brown Jr. ... Dj Yella

(The cast along with the surviving members of N.W.A in pic above)

Where's Arabian Prince?

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

What about the writer of "Panic Zone", Krazy D?

[img:$uid]http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/assets_c/2010/03/KrazyDandDre-thumb-300x437.jpg[/img:$uid]

Krazy D is probably best known for his very memorable singing part in "Dopeman," where he plays the part of an overdosed junkie's angry brother, threatening Eazy E: "Yo, Mr. Dopeman, you think you're slick..."

Where the heck did you find that last album pic? Never seen that...."N.W.A. and the Posse?" Never even heard of that shit before. This must be between Dre's World Class Wreckin' Cru and "Straight Outta Compton." Leave it to you Cinny to pull out some ole random classic ish from nowhere lol

-

Who's the dude up top looking like Flava Flav & Fab Five Freddy's long lost brother? And is that dude squating in the very front the guy who would eventually be known as Candyman? That's probably the skinniest I've ever seen Cube too. I'm done rambling....

That is exactly the timeline for it! Straight Outta Compton and Eazy-Duz-It came out in 1988 and were proper albums, but that compilation had other folks (ahem, Posse) as the cover plainly shows. You'll notice the songs listed as remixes on the albums ("Dopeman Remix" "8-Ball Remix" on Straight Outta Compton; "Boyz N The Hood Remix" on Eazy-Duz-It) were the songs whose original form appeared on 1987's N.W.A. And The Posse. That compilation was re-released in 1989 after the success of the 1988 albums.

I don't know, lol, but there's more than just NWA on that compilation.
Yes that is Candyman's long legs. lol

hmmm I wonder why Jerry Heller isn't apart of this. There were some old staff members from Ruthless Records that were disappointed they were not asked to be apart of this. Cube has made it clear who he does and does not want to be apart of this...so we will see. I am however pleased that the actors at least resemble the group members!

I'm expecting Jerry Heller to be the film's villian. Not surprised that he nor his staff from Ruthless weren't involved.

I do know Eazy's widow, Tomica will be involved in this film.

that album is not random...........it was everywhere right after NWA made it big..............i remember when it came in to the record store where I worked I put it on and was like 'wtf is this shit?'..........just lacked some serious beats and production and had some weak raps
