Description
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.

Some kids form a pioneering hip hop group.
It's extremely formulaic. But it can nonetheless be pretty tense at times, thanks to the music, and to subjects that really don't belong in such a formulaic movie.
