![]() ![]() Pregnant by "I'll-do-anyone-who-stops- moving-for-too-long," Dr. Dre, NWA, Shuge Knight, Death Row Records, and also had brief interactions with Tu Pac, MC Hammer, and anyone else who just hung around. It seems before her "15 minutes," she was involved with Dr. "Surviving Compton" is a story about-and narrated by-former pop star Michel'le. I don't usually review "made-for-TV-movies," but this time I'll make an exception. So yeah overall watchable, maybe a (uncensored) extended blu ray or something would be an idea. There's a lot of talks in the comments about her voice, Michel'e does have a childs speaking voice (and the actress playing her puts one on as well) and it did caught me off guard the first time I saw her in a interview but you get used to it after a while. But that's neither here or there in terms of the quality of the movie I suppose, and I don't think there have been a single movie based on a true story where they didn't change something and it's still a decent watch. In fact Tupac was a big reason why Dre ended up leaving Death Row because he wasn't cool with him taking credit for music he didn't do and made countless of disses to Dre after he left (Toss It Up, Watch Ya Mouth etc). And also for some reason they portray Tupac and Dre as best friends even claiming that Pac hated Suge and was gonna join him on Aftermath, which couldn't be more far from the truth. A couple issues regarding some smaller details of the script which me as a hiphop-head might know a little too much about to believe, for one the fact that they made it look like the reason Dre and Eazy E clashed was because of his treatment of Michel'e. And of course the running-time is confined to 90 minutes and gets a little unfocused here and there due to trying to squeeze in too much in too little time. The first scene of domestic violence is still very much disturbing. It does get a little held back though by that fact that explicit language and 'grown up material' gets censored (at least when aired on Lifetime TV) but not too bad. And I have witnesses, so I don’t think people are gonna get up there and say, ‘No, we didn’t see anything.Not bad by Lifetime bio-pic standards, occasionally fairly good actually. “If he would like to take me to court and sue me, then we should both do our depositions so we can get the story right. “That doesn’t make any sense to me, that’s an oxymoron. ![]() “What doesn’t make sense is, why would you publicly apologise for beating women, and then turn around and say, ‘I didn’t beat a woman?’” she told the Huffington Post. Michel’le has criticised Dre’s litigious approach. The closing credits of Surviving Compton – which stars Rhyon Nicole Brown and Curtis Hamilton – contain a statement from Dre in which he denies he abused Michel’le and challenges her credibility. I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again.” I’ve been married for 19 years and every day I’m working to be a better man for my family, seeking guidance along the way. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did. He wrote: “Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life. A civil suit was settled out of court.ĭre has not responded to the allegations individually, but last year apologised in the New York Times to “the women I’ve hurt”. ![]() He pleaded no contest, and was fined $2,513 and sentenced to 240 hours of community service. Michel’le and Tairrie B did not press charges, but Dre was charged with aggravated battery over the incident with Barnes in 1991. Michel’le has accused Dre of breaking her nose and ribs, and giving her several black eyes. Michel’le, journalist Dee Barnes and rapper Tairrie B have all written in detail about Dre’s alleged assaults on them. Last year’s Straight Outta Compton biopic of rap group NWA, of which Dre was a member, was criticised for failing to show Dre’s alleged mistreatment of women at the time.
