After my husband and I started watching the 2015 movie “Straight Outta Compton” on DVD last month, we found out that one of the characters portrayed in the movie – Jerry Heller – died that week. We finally got back to finishing the movie tonight, more than a month later, and when I went to find out if the actor who portrayed Ice Cube was his son – because he looked so much like him – I found out that earlier this morning Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were in the news this morning because they were dismissed from a lawsuit.
So weird.
Great movie, by the way. I’ve never really listened to gangsta rap before so didn’t know much about it, but it was really interesting to learn about it.
Oh, and the actor is Ice Cube’s son.
