Gray: Nepotism didn't cast Ice Cube's son; novelty fades quickly
“Nepotism was not a part of this project, because when it's all said and done, the novelty of Cube Son playing Cube wears off after the 1:05 minutes. If he can't carry a movie, this movie doesn't work.”
F. Gary Gray: There will never be another group like N.W.A
“There'll never be another group like NWA, because they had to do it without any reference, you know.”
F. Gary Gray: Kendrick Lamar would not exist without N.W.A
“There's no Kendrick Lamar without N.W.A.”
F. Gary Gray: N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton changed history
“History was changed when NWA came out and made Straight Outta Compton”
Gray: Ice Cube spent 13 years getting Straight Outta Compton made
“I've been involved with this project for four years. It took me four years to get this on, up to the screen. I think it took Cube over a decade, maybe 13 years, to put this on the screen.”
