Ice Cube and Dr Dre introduce the official trailer for Straight Outta Compton

Dr Dre and Ice Cube are rolling through Compton in the introduction to the official red band trailer for biopic Straight Outta Compton. Reminiscing on the highly influential and controversial hip hop group, they visit the likes of Game and Kendrick Lamar and talk about the impact they made back when they released their classic debut.

It all leads into our first good quality look at the anticipated film, throwing us back into a gritty come-up which took place during the mid-80s, centered around the drugs and violence that infested the neighbourhood in which Cube, Dre, Eazy E, MC Ren, and DJ Yella grew up. Check out the trailer below:

Straight Outta Compton is released in Australian cinemas on August 13th through Universal Pictures
