Maybe at least unacceptable for how easily Nina Gordon drops the n-word with her acoustic, folky cover of Straight Outta Compton.

YouTube's recommended this to me. Looks like original colour, rather than colourized. And wiki's confirmed my suspicion that these were non-professional actors. The accents are a delight, even a bit tricky to make out what was being said, some are so regional. :)
