Rags to Riches

When it comes to the 2015 movie Straight Out Of Compton we see three men that are struggling with the issue of poverty and living areas that were known for being rugged and violent.  These three men Dr.Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube are slowly building themselves so then they are able to build up to a life of wealth and popularity through their music. They started as drug dealers people making money by being DJs and others that started being rappers from be beginning.  As they grew with their first single “Boyz-n-the-Hood” at first it was rejected but was later found to be a local popular track.  This caused the boys to form their group known as N.W.A. But of course, they were known for being attacked by the police due to their race and appearance thus makes them create one of their most popular songs “Fuck tha Police”.  With them releasing as much music as they did at the time they were able to get big and slowly make a large amount of money from doing this and are known for being some of the best rappers. Starting out as boys that were living in low-end homes and having to live day by day in areas that caused more harm to them than they did to it.  But as they grew they were able to afford areas to live that were safer and could afford all these nice luxuries that they wanted. Now, of course, they went through multiple hardships due to the fact that they were young and black and at the time they went through a lot of racism. But they were able to overcome these issues and were able to make the money they needed so they could be seen as people that came from rags to riches. 

They were never reaching for this goal they just wanted to talk about the issues that were happening in their area with police brutality and racism and they did this through music.  When it comes to the music blowing up of course from the messages that are being played there was good feedback from the people but bad feedback from the police condemning them as gangsters and the music they make as “gangster rap”.  The messages that were shown told of the rough paths that the group had to go through to get to where they were and become the men that we know today.
