“Straight Outta Compton” earned rave reviews as a biographical account of the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A., which rose to fame in the 1980s and early 90s and featured artists Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. Taylor played Knight, a music executive who co-founded Death Row Records with Dre and several others. The real Knight is currently incarcerated waiting for a trial for a murder charge.
