This was a pretty good movie... I say that not able to think of any "here's the story of this musical group" movie I haven't liked.
They did a good job showing why the group needed to make a song like "Fuck tha Police," that it meant more than they just had bad attitudes. Police were straight-villains in this. This flick makes me think I may have been too harsh in my perception of them back in the late 80s/early 90s.
Morals of the story: police are not your friends, don't get entangled with Suge Knight, and fuck the jews. Ice Cube really didn't pull any punches sharing his feelings on those matters.

I don't give a fuck!

Seriously.

I never quite got it until Rodney King. But seriously, any of those events happening to me would have... well, would never have happened, but would have given me a pretty serious attitude.
Hell, even when I did break the law and get caught (smoking dope, speeding, hacking computer websites, passing illegally), the worst that ever happened is that the police man yelled at me in 1 of those 4 occasions. I could only imagine if I had been them, or black.
At any rate, great movie.
Oh, and according to this awards page, there must be like 3 or more Black Oscars

I can see why people might be upset that this movie wasn't nominated, given the boring-looking movies that were here. Â Of course, I've only seen 1, and read one book, but Room, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, and Spotlight look boring, and The Revenant just sounds "meh."
And, actually, I would say this was a better movie than Mad Max. I was thoroughly entertained by both, but this was better, deeper - better acting, better story, etc, etc.
