cube son looks just like him when the movie coming yall anybody know
IDK cube post says august 14 2015…
That’d be my guess you fucking idiot.
yeah, the date is mentioned 3 times in the article.
yo moms an idiot you pussy muthafucka
yella = drake or french montana
mc ren = kendrick lammar
MC Ren probably gets pussy unlike Duckworth so that aint right
Duckworth actually does get pussy unlike your hating ass.
Nigga please Kendrick don’t even look like Ren
Nobody wants to play wackass MC Ren
sad life you live, huh?
Wackass MC Ren, who do you think wrote most of the classics with Ice Cube and after he left. You’re a fuckin donkey.
are you serious? Ren was the best rapper in NWA. infact he’s one of the greatest lyricists to come out of the west coast period. You better ask somebody.
Aside from Cube’s son, none of them niggas look like Eazy or Dre
Are they playing NWA when they were younger ? I hope they do this movie right and not like that wack ass Notorious movie.
it will never be good enough for die hard fans, i suggest you dont go see it. All these wack ass 3rd generation stans with romaticised ideals about their favourite rappers being super humans, you aint going to like the truth, you just want the character they portray in the media, you get butthurt when you see they aint hardcore gangbanging thugs 24/7.
the rest of the crew adopted Ren’s style, he was the one from the street with the gang connects. look at the first album cover, the rest of them were on that flava flav style, Rens in the khakis and white T.
None on them niggas was about that and that’s a fact. They’ll tell you themselves. So stop spreading the lies.
I think a World Class Wreckin Cru biopic would be more interesting.
Anyway, on another note, are they going to show Ice Cube getting bullied in his private school days???
The Dre character looks like HE should have been MC Ren.
lol…..i thought so as well!
why didn’t they just have little Eazy E play the role for Eazy E ?

Maybe because he’s a wack ass actor. I rather see a nigga that can play his part well than a nigga who just’s a look-a-like

He is the perfect jew for the part.
“Who’s playing Jerry Heller, JJ Fad, D.O.C., Above the Law, BG Knocc Out, Dresta, Suge Knight, Snoop, Warren G, Pac, DPG, The Lench Mob, Will.i.am, H.W.A, and BONE Thugs N Harmony”
Lol that’s why I see a lot of niggas in the internet asking
Acting like the movie is about Ruthless Records and not N.W.A
D.O.C will be played by Marlon Yates Jr. Shanie O’neal BF
They should get Phillip Seymour Hoffman to play Jerry Heller.
Hoffman is dead homie…..
If the movie is anything like Ice Cube’s new music it’s going to suck like a Kardashian at NBA All Star weekend
MC Ren was the best in NWA…period.
Who is playing Jerry Heller ? He was a major character in NWA legacy .
The devil……lol
