#BBB NEWS| READ: What Eazy-E’s Daughter Thinks Of ‘Straight Outta Compton’ [PHOTOS/TWEETS]

The N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton is the talk of the weekend and expected to pull in some notable numbers in the box office.

Along with reactions from fans, the families of the legendary group have also gotten a chance to give their take on the on-screen depiction of the story. Daughter of the late Eazy-E, E.B. Wright, was among those to praise the film, especially the acting talent Jason Mitchell, who took on the role of her father.

“He did a phenomenal job,” she told NBC. “I’m so incredibly proud. All my life I’ve been hearing these stories. Jason is everything I imagined [my father] to be … I really felt like I was watching him on the screen.”

Expounding upon her thoughts, Wright took to Twitter to note that a large part of E’s storyline was missing from the project. Also giving her take on what songs should have been included in the score, she announced that she would be heading up an Eazy-E documentary of her own. Peep her full commentary below:

#BBB NEWS| READ: Dr. Dre On His Abusive Past: “I Made Some F***ing Horrible Mistakes In My Life”

As a new movie about his beginnings of hip-hop success holds court in theaters this weekend, Dr. Dre is still defending himself against abuse allegations from several women in his past.

Covering Rolling Stone to promote the Straight Outta Compton N.W.A. biopic, the storied West Coast producer was probed about two particular incidents: accounts by his ex-fiancee, singer Michel’le and journalist Dee Barnes.

In a statement released in 1991, Barnes, a former host for Fox’s Pump It Up! noted that Dre “began slamming her face and the right side of her body repeatedly against a wall near the stairway” and “grabbed her from behind by the hair and proceeded to punch her in the back of the head” during a record release party. During an interview with The Breakfast Club back in March, Michel’le said of her time with Dre: “I had five black eyes, I have a cracked rib, I have scars that are just amazing.”
