Get ready to go further behind the music of popular VH1 "Behind the Music" subjects N.W.A (aka That-word-my-friend-Tariq-asked-me-to-stop-saying With Attitude). New Line has tapped (not as in "tapped that ass") Andrea Berloff (World Trade Center) to write Straight Outta Compton, a biopic dramatizing the rise and fall of seminal gangsta rappers and police f*ckers: Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, and DJ Yella.

Biopics always clean up come award season and I don’t see why this one should be any different. One might argue that the subject matter is too aggressive but the same could once be said for Johnny Cash. I’m interested to see how far this can go. In fact, I’d like to go ahead and nominate it right now for the Screen Junkies’ Theater-Going Experience Most Likely to Get You Shot Award. (THR)
