Angus Bastey who was there at the time said,
"Predictably, if disingenuously, F Gary Gray’s Straight Outta Compton biopic largely ignores the problematic parts of the band’s story and presents them as free-speech crusaders whose prescience on the topic of racist policing is as relevant in 2015 as it was in 1988. This was certainly a part of their impact and importance, and it was recognised throughout the music business."]]> 2018-01-19 09:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/leocartwrightpendleton/nj39pgkss2vk/wish/222710107 Oscars Snub leocartwrightpendleton https://padlet.com/leocartwrightpendleton/nj39pgkss2vk/wish/222713114 They also only received one oscar nomination, "Best Original Screenplay" with many critics and fans believing it should've gotten more.
For an artist who made his name flame-throwing the establishment, former N.W.A. member Ice Cube has taken a dispassionate stance about the failure of the Academy to recognise minority actors and films, including his hit N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton. ]]> 2018-01-19 09:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/leocartwrightpendleton/nj39pgkss2vk/wish/222713114 Production Companies leocartwrightpendleton https://padlet.com/leocartwrightpendleton/nj39pgkss2vk/wish/222715455 In 2009 New Line Cinema announced development for the Bio Pic.

In October 2017, transcripts from a grand jury hearing earlier in the year indicated Knight allegedly gave multiple menacing warnings to director F. Gary Gray during filming. Although Gray would testify he did not recall any calls or texts threatening his safety (a move Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes referred to as intentional perjury out of fear), Knight was allegedly angry at his depiction in the film and that he was not compensated for his portrayal.
