Rap fans nationwide (and even worldwide) have been talking about the upcoming N.W.A. film Straight Outta Compton, but there’s something in the works other than just the movie that will get them just as, if not, more excited. According to The Hollywood Reporter, who interviewed the cast of the film, Universal and the World’s Most Dangerous crew is planning an European tour with Eminem filling in for Eazy E to promote the movie.
Details and schedules are still being worked out, but it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to catch all the members and Slim Shady live in concert.
Not only that, but the soundtrack is set to feature Marshall Mathers, as well as Kendrick Lamar, and will be produced by Dr. Dre. Could this mean new music from N.W.A. as well? At the very least, we’ll get a few new songs, so that should satisfy fans’ speakers.
In the cover story, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre also speak on what it felt like casting who they did, what they want their legacy to be remembered as and why their story still relates to what’s happening in 2015. You can read the full story over at The Hollywood Reporter.
“We were just trying to entertain our neighborhood, just us trying to be hood stars. It just became something that was much, much bigger than we ever thought, than I ever imagined.”
Straight Outta Compton hits theaters on August 14.
