PostBourgie show

Summary: The N.W.A. movie "Straight Outta Compton" is the latest entrant into the anemic hip-hop biopic genre. It's crushing at the box office even as controversies around who was cast in it and which details were left out of it. (Namely: all of the women, ever.) Jalen Coats (@jvcoats), a writer and DJ from LA, joins GD to figure out what it all means, and argue over which great female MCs should get a biopic of their own, and also why biopics should never exist.<img src="http://feedpress.me/10361/1660866.gif" height="1" width="1">  <br><hr><p style="color: grey;">See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
