Straight Outta Compton

Cube is having a busy 2016.

The West Coast has won. The N.W.A-inspired film 'Straight Outta Compton' continues to break records as it becomes the highest-grossing music biopic.

Straight Outta Compton proved to be a huge and surprising success for Universal Pictures. The studio is having a record-breaking year riding the success of Jurassic World, Furious 7 and Minions, three unlikely properties they were able to develop into huge franchises.

While the story of Eazy-E, Dre and Ice Cube may not be something easily translated into a franchise, a new report claims that a pseudo-sequel is in the works that would follow the West Coast rap game, including breakout stars like Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur.

Dr. Dre is straight up winning this week. In addition to the 'Straight Outta Compton' biopic that he co-produced reaching No. 1 at the box office for its opening weekend, Apple Music announces that 'Compton,' his first album in 16 years, was streamed 25 million times during its first week of release.
