I am not a fan of rap, but this movie is much more than that. Even though the timeline is from the mid-80's to 1993, it is very timely given police killing and riots now. It shows, among other things, the relationship between the police and the Black community in L. A. and Detroit specifically. Excellent acting. Paul Giamatti - Oscar-worthy performance. The story - really interesting if you are interested in sub-cultures. This an important film about the evolution of rap and specifically a few of the people.
