Awesome / Straight Outta Compton

Go To

  • "Yo Dre... I got something to say!"
  • Eazy-E ending things with Jerry. When he finds out just how much Jerry was keeping from him, it seems like he's about ready to go kick some ass. But what happens is even better. There's no violence, or threats, or anything like you might expect from a member of "The World's Most Dangerous Group." Eric just lays things out on the table and says in no uncertain terms that it's over. Even when Jerry starts losing his cool and shouting, Eric keeps his own, and walks away. It's a moment that shows just how much Eazy has matured since he was slanging dope and demanding money owed to him at the beginning of the film.
  • The two times Dre stands up to Suge. The first when Suge and his acquaintances were having a dog fight and the second when he quits.
    • "What you gonna call that bullshit?" ".... Aftermath."
  • The group themselves get one for how professional they are and how they present themselves in press events. As thuggish as their music presents them, and despite how much backlash they got from Moral Guardian media, in every single event where they had to face the media face to face, they professionally proved themselves to be true artists.
  • Despite all the bad stuff he does, Jerry standing up to the corrupt cops is awesome.
  • As it is in real life, Cube releasing No Vaseline in response to Message To BA. Even the other members of N.W.A acknowledge how much of a Curb-Stomp Battle it was.
