Melissa answers a made-up song called “Butterscotch Man,” with some interesting lyrics – “Butterscotch man, tater tot, yam.”

While it’s not a real song, listen to Jay Pharoah sing it at the end of the promo!

Straight Outta Compton just nabbed a 2016 SAG Awards nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast.

“Not to sound cliché but we worked really, really hard to get this on the screen,” F. Gary told People about the nod. “It took us years to find this cast and we put them through a lot to deliver those performances and they delivered. So to be acknowledged and amongst a lot of great artists and a lot of great films, we honestly didn’t expect it.”
