It was so savage, we actually gagged…and then cackled. You wouldn’t believe what she did with a pair of strange panties she found in the couch. That said, there were moments of awkward comedy within her situation. In particular, anything having to do with her love life was heartbreaking. Parts of Surviving Compton were painful to watch. And can we just say that Rhyon Nicole Brown had Michel’le‘s speaking voice down! Jamie Kennedy as Jerry Heller was a little odd, but he’s come a long way from playing B-Rad. And it was cool to see Tupac as part of Surviving Compton. They picked exactly the right guy to play Suge, though. Of course, Lifetime wasn’t working with the same budget as Straght Outta Compton. The casting was a bit hit or miss, but not bad overall. Sadly, Michel’le actually had to live this out. The network couldn’t have made up a better script. With love, drama, and suspense filling in all of the ups and downs, Michel’le‘s story had the makings of a classic Lifetime movie. We were getting the story right from Michel’le‘s own mouth. It added a really nice touch that other Lifetime biopics haven’t really used.
Dre was wrong for excluding her from the movie, she made it clear that Surviving Compton was going to be her story (*sip*).Īs such, Michel’le herself was very present throughout the movie as she narrated the story in person. Michel’le wasted no time addressing her absence from Straight Outta Compton.
And we brewed a big cup of tea to sip while we watched.
By the time Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le debuted on Lifetime, we were more than ready to see her part of the story.
