At a very impressionable age I was introduced to the rap music of N.W.A. by the older brother of my best friend. It was nasty, dirty music with an incredible beat that opened of a culture I did not know existed. I had been home-schooled and attended a private church school at the time I heard this album. Like I said, it was a whole world I knew nothing about. I stopped listening to rap when I was young. I am a white, liberal-minded wife and mom of 3, but, I still know most of the words to the N.W.A. album Straight Outta Compton and for whatever reason, I want to see the movie.

Straight Outta Compton is an upcoming 2015 American biographical drama film directed by F. Gary Gray. The film revolves around the rise and fall of the Compton, California hip hop group N.W.A. The film's title is borrowed from the title of N.W.A's 1988 debut studio album. Straight Outta Compton is set for theatrical release on August 14, 2015
