2. N.W.A (Niggaz Wit Attitudes) was an American hip hop group
from Compton, California, widely considered one of the seminal acts
of the gangsta rap sub-genre, sometimes credited as the most
important group in the history of hip hop.
Active from 1986 to 1991, the rap group endured controversy due to
the explicit nature of their lyrics, and was subsequently banned from
many mainstream U.S. radio stations. In spite of this, the group has
sold over 10 million CD units in the U.S. alone.
3. New Line Cinema representatives announced to Entertainment
Weekly's "Hollywood Insider Blog" that N.W.A's story is in development
to become a feature film for theatrical release in 2012. According to
the Internet Movie Database, the script was researched and written by
filmmaker S. Leigh Savidge and radio veteran Alan Wenkus, who worked
closely with Eazy-E's widow, Tomica Woods-Wright. Wright, Ice Cube,
and Dr. Dre will act as producers of the film.
