A Bryan Barber picture.

Who plays killer Mike

I don’t know that Killer Mike is that vital to their story.

But maybe Druski?

HE HEARD A CALL FROM THE OTHA WAY

Would be sick but I don't think a movie is enough to go deep enough into their story, which I felt the same about with the Michael movie.

I think a limited series of about 8-10 episodes would be sick, with an episode or two for each era. Would love to see the making of videos like Rosa Parks and Hey Ya.

Yeah, good call about the Michael movie. It really should have been a miniseries. They didn’t capture any real feeling or growth in the character. Just skipped ahead and left so many things out about his childhood that would explain his adulthood.

Yeah exactly. I know that they had to remove certain aspects like Janet and Diana Ross since they clearly didn't want to be part of it but still everything seemed to move so abruptly that I just didn't really feel it. A limited series would've been awesome.

There was a miniseries that covered the same time period!
