Factual error: 2Pac Shakur is depicted as recording with Dr. Dre for Death Row before Eazy-E passed in March of 1995. 2Pac wasn't even released from jail or signed with Death row until October of 1995, 7 months after Eazy-E's death. (04:16:00)

More quotes from Straight Outta Compton

Question: Why did Suge Knight hate Jerry so much? They didn't even talk to each other at all in the movie.
