A red band trailer for the N.W.A. biopic STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON has been released, and besides giving us a first look at the upcoming film about the rise of the historic rap group, the trailer also features an introduction by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.There really hasn't been a great hip-hop biographical movie in my opinion (8 MILE was only inspired by Eminem's life before he made it big, and although Jamal Woolard's performance in NOTORIOUS was excellent, I didn't think the film itself was fantastic), but I'm hoping STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON will change all that.

"What's N.W.A. stand for anyway? 'No Whites Allowed', something like that?"
