You kind of get to make up the material that makes this character who they are, that gives them reason to make the decisions that they make, but since this is someone who is a real person, you don’t get to fabricate that. “When I play a role that that someone has created, you kind of get to create a quote un-quote biography for this character. While filming, Alonzo gave Brown a call once he heard the actor was playing his character and provided him with some advice. “I think this film does a great job of representing who he is and his contribution to that world,” added Brown. Mona Lisa couldn’t make a recording so Alonzo called Michel’le and asked if she could record a song and that’s how she got first introduced,” says Brown. “If you Google Michel’le, you find that Google says Easy E is accredited for finding Michel’le, but when I finally got the script I found out that it was Alonzo who founded Michel’le. Williams played a big part as founder of the hip hop crew, but also in discovering Michel’le when she was working at the department store, J.C. “I can’t say what’s true and what’s not true, I wasn’t there, but this is her story and as a story I think it’s important to tell a story as it’s given,” says Brown. Within this film, Michel’le is opening up and speaking out about the darker side of Compton. The project has been described as “one of fame, abuse and ultimately, survival and triumph.” The cast of Surviving Compton didn’t even think that the film would come out until 2017 as they had just finished shooting this past July in Cincinnati, Ohio. Dre, a member of NWA and World Class Wrecking Crew.

Considering NWA did not mention her in their hit film or the fact that while Dr. Dre and Suge Knight are threatening to sue Michel’le and Lifetime, Michel’le says bring it on, she is unafraid, speaking out, and speaking up. Dre's in Straight Outta Compton and #SurvivingCompton, smh.Īlthough Dr. Dre be embarrassed but Ice Cube, other members of NWA and people that knew.
