Michel'le's story wasn't told in Straight Outta Compton, but they referenced her in the movie. I can't remember the context, but I recall a reference to Dre being in his girlfriend's video (Nicety) or something. /p I actually think Michel'le was significant enough to be shown in the movie, but they had to streamline the narrative to keep the movie from being too long. Michel'le sang on the CLASSIC Before You Turn Off the Lights with the World Class Wrecking Crew, and she blew up huge as a solo artist in 1988-89 with No More Lies, Nicety, and Something in My Heart. No More Lies was a top 10 pop and r&b, and trust me, that song was all over the radio. /p My point is that while Michel'le's time in the Sun might have been brief, the couple of years she was hot, she was on fire; and b/c she was being played on pop radio, she might have technically more popular than NWA when they first came out.
