Cube: Toby Emmerich at New Line who heads up the studio contacted my producing partner and basically was like, 'Yo, we're doing an N.
A movie with Jerry Heller, off of Jerry Heller's book. Do you guys want to be involved? A movie, you better have us involved, and we're not doing it off that expletive book. We're gonna do a real N. A movie. We want people to understand that we had fun. There's a lot of controversy behind N. A, but we were 18, 19, 21, 22 years old during the group's height and we got a chance to live out our dreams and be professional rappers and go around the world and tour and get the love from the people — and oh yeah, we had to deal with the FBI and, oh yeah, we had to deal with the police — but we wanted to show people the fun that we had making the music, the fun that we had with each other.
Cube: As a parent, you always are proud of the moments when you kid steps up. So I'm forever grateful that he stepped up to this challenge and portrayed me in the movie. I couldn't picture anyone else doing it. I was totally engulfed watching him perform. See, I've never been to an N. A concert — I've done an N. A concert, but never had the chance as an audience member to experience it, and I was like, "Pretty powerful! Cube : It is. This story keeps turning in on itself.
I wrote "Boyz-n-the-Hood," the song N. A's first single which led to "Straight Outta Compton" the album, which led to "Boyz n the Hood" the movie, which leads us to "Straight Outta Compton" the movie, so it's crazy.
I kept telling people it was like a "Back to the Future" movie — like, Shea or one of these others guys might change the future if we don't do this scene right! Q: There's a joke in the movie that's a wink to anyone in the audience that's seen your movie "Friday. How did it make its way into "Straight Outta Compton"? Jackson: So, alright: I've been watching social media and I've noticed "Bye, Felicia" has been popping up a lot, and I was taking a personal offense to this, because I felt like a lot of people didn't even know what it was from — that it was from "Friday" the movie that Cube both wrote and starred in.
That it's from him. So the situation in "Straight Outta Compton" , there's a girl in this scene named Felicia, and there's all this chaos going down …. Jackson: Yeah! It was just a coincidence. So we're waiting to shoot the scene , sitting in the room, sitting in the room, and then the spark goes off.
