Keith is not alone in being upset at the lies and omissions of this movie

I found this interesting, from the linked article: "What’s interesting is that Straight Outta Compton already tells the story of a marginalized group at a point during which they were fighting against institutionalized oppression both in the streets and with music."

I'll admit, I know next to nothing about NWA or gangsta rap as a whole, but is the whole "fighting oppression" thing giving them a bit too much credit? Granted they were big and important in the history of rap, and by virtue of being famous while black they're going to have an impact. But were they really fighting oppression? Or were they just misogynist gangbangers? Like, just because the police are often bad, doesn't automatically make them heroes for saying "fuck the police." Especially if they are like, legit murdering people, as they claim.
