December reports claimed Ice Cube revealed footage from the upcoming flick during an overseas concert.

Australian N.W.A. fans were treated to a recent preview of the upcoming biopic, Straight Outta Compton, during a recent Ice Cube concert. The characters of Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell), Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins) and Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson Jr., Cube’s actual son) all show up during the trailer which Cube played gleefully. (Miss Info TV)

Last summer, a shooting went down around the N.W.A. biopic’s production set.

We’re told the gunmen were NOT targeting the crew — but since they were setting up outside the courthouse the bullets came dangerously close. One nearby civilian was hit, and collapsed next to the set … but survived. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. tells us the shooting is under investigation. They have not yet determined if it was gang-related. (TMZ)

Recently, Cube promised personal feelings had nothing to do with late rapper Eazy-E‘s son not portraying his father.

“He’s an up-and-coming actor trying to do it but we needed somebody who was a little more polished to play Eazy, because he goes through a lot in his life. He goes from selling dope in Compton to fighting for his life in a hospital bed. So we needed to find an actor with a lot of range. And we just couldn’t use just anybody. We gave him a shot, and it just didn’t work out.” (KS 107.5)

      • My point is you don’t see other people rushin to take pictures with others.

        • ugh,, yes you do. and Game lives in Cali. him and Cube done songs together and Dre and Game go way back. so of course they gonna meet up. Cube the one posted this pic on his instagram before Game did.

          • Wow I didn’t think anyone could or would bother to try and make something negative out of a simple hit. Game loves the NWA legacy (as most people do) and id imagine he would have called to say he wants to hang on set as much as he can to watch something special, props to him for doing that and the legends for allowing him.
            Rappers post stuff all the time on twitter, instagram etc. Its the News places that get a hold of it and make it a story so GTFO with the ‘doing it to stay relevant’ crap

  1. at least he takes pics with everyone he names in his songs, i tell ppl the west dont have much so that is the single reason game seems to be the most successful out the group.

      • i agree. game and 50 only one made big cheese in gunit. not saying yayo and banks and buck didnt. but at the end of the day 50 and game banked over them 3 BIG TIME.

        • yea cant deny that game took full advantage of all his opportunitys slim not no slouch on the business end

          • Yep. Game had that voice. Plus he is one best battle rappers ever. So he tore them to hell. Just what he does. He’s like Eminem. Etc… You don’t wanna go at this nigga. He will end your ass. And Im not even a huge game fan. I liked Cyssero the best out of old BWS. But at the end of the day… Game will end ya rap career if you try him. He is top notch in that battle rap shit.

      • I mean say what ya want about Game… He stay making grip. Overseas. Tv shows. Game stay paid.

  2. Maybe he might pop up on the soundtrack to straight outta compton, as usual name dropping legendary rappers from the west

  3. 50 cent hates this pic. he wants to go in… but he already knows….. Game will bust his ass up again…. and Dre chose Game. This been obvious. Dre stays hanging with Game. Yet you never see Dre with 50 no more. Just saying………………. + Cube rolls with Game. 50 can forget it.

    • Dre never signed 50 it was Em. Em got ahold of 50Cent is the future mixtape and wanted him signed to Shady Records. 50 and Dre worked together only by association with Em. Dre put on Game and then asked 50 to put him in Gunit cause they were popping at the time and Dre wanted Game to get that exposure.

  4. no 50. no buck. no yayo. GAME IS WITH DRE AND CUBE. I REST MY CASE. GAME >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  5. + gunit would have more credit if they kept Game. This nigga stay busting heads. Yeah I get he is bi-polar. But he a crazy ass MF. You need one of them Psycho Ass MF’s that don’t give a shit. Game is that dude.

  6. I mean say what you want about this nigga… But Game gets down with legends. DONT BODY YASELF – GAME AND NAS. NUFF SAID.

    • Game is the only rapper that ever challenged me. He lit me up on “Don’t body yaself”
      . – NAS
