“Straight Outta Compton” Left Out Dr. Dre’s Crimes
The 2015 film “Straight Outta Compton,” focused on N.W.A., a hip hop group from Compton, California, and its band members Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube, as they dealt with racism while struggling to make it big in the music industry. But when the movie was released, music journalist Dee Barnes discussed being assaulted by Dr. Dre in 1991. The film didn’t mention this incident at all, but that was most likely because Dr. Dre was the film’s producer.
