STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON hauls in $24.3 milion at box office on Friday

Well, since friends of mine are giving me free tickets to see movies. I went & saw STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON & it was very, very good. What a throw back to the late 1980's when Rap music didn't even have a Grammy award category.

Native Americans can relate in a certain way because of the inner violence, frustration & anger toward cops. In our case, it was tribal cops & state cops. At that time, crack cocaine was also filtering on the reservations big time. This film captured the late 1980's which was a time of change in the music industry. 

I wish they made a film about Natives in this way because our voice is deeper rooted in traditions, culture & trapped on reservations. It was a prison for natives & in some ways it still is. Something to think about.
