Krept & Konan Gave Straight Outta Compton Actors A Tour Of South London
“Every place in the world has people in positions of power abusing that power.”
The English duo Krept & Konan recently met up with O'Shea Jackson Jr. and Jason Mitchell—who play Ice Cube and Eazy-E, respectively, in Straight Outta Compton—to show the actors parts of South London. Konan took the group to his old neighborhood, Thornton Heath, while Krept walked them around Gipsy Hill. The visit was filmed and made into a short clip titled Straight Outta London.
The actors emphasize that the N.W.A. biopic is important outside of the Compton city limits. "Everyone is straight outta somewhere," Jackson notes. "Every place in the world has people in positions of power abusing that power. So everybody can relate to that."
