Milli Vanilli had some fire.... why did they pick 2 german blacks with braids to form the group?

Milli Vanilli was huge before the scandal. Those songs were hit records, if they dropped today no one would give two shyts that they were frauds. Plenty of artists these days made careers off lip syncing. To answer OP's question, the real voices were some older dudes if I remember correctly as far as the singing goes. I don't know who did the raps tho.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
For a group that sold 8 mil worldwide, how they avoided interviews that would have exposed their voices was amazing.

My cousin still got a cassette of that record. They don't even make them anymore.
They actually could sing. That's the fukked up part about the whole thing. They were homeless or some shyt and the label picked them up. They signed the contract and didn't realize that they weren't allowed to sing their own songs until it was too late. They rolled with it cause they got paid and it got them off the street. One of em commited suicide. shyt sucks.

Out here in my damn drawls
Found this:



I feel bad for the old breh that was doing the vocals. He just wanted to kick back, lay down some tracks and stack some bread
I bet he wanted to kill them for fukking the money up

And that Charles Shaw dude tried to be a star and fukked his own money up too. Label tossed his dumb ass :mjlol:

Kevin liles wrote girl you know it's true and I think it was someone else's song first then they bought it and gave it to milli and vanillin which is a horrible name
