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

[dennis roadman]

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.

Sad story, labels fukked these dudes as bad as any rapper back then

I never understand why they couldn't just say they lip synced that one performance and keep the lie going

why couldn't the real artists/singers be the actual group?? wasn't like these 2 nikkas were sex symbols

music was flames regardless

the dance moves

Milli Vanilli was most definitely sex symbols breh

A lot of weird shyt popped in the 90s too that some folks would like to forget about

 

[rantanamo]

Nah that Martha Wash of the Weather Girls (fka Two Tons of Fun )who sued the shyt out of them for that.

watch her Unsung. She had some hits out there. Studio didn't want her to be the face of anything, but her voice was so crazy they used her for mad hit songs.

 

[Mr Rager]

Tellin' my here... but this is the Kevin Liles version from '87 with his group Numarx. It was actually a local hit here in Bmore... which was crazy as shyt when the MV video came out in '89... it was like "the Numarx song??" I was like 9 and I smelled a rat

Still fukk with the Vanilli version

it still goes on today, just that the game has changed like with any other industry. Technology makes things faster, cheaper and higher quality...autotune is so much cheaper than uncredited background/session singers

That's Frank Farian's MO

Take a song that is little known or local, revamp it and all of a sudden it becomes a hit.

Don't believe me? Listen to Ann Pebbles' I can't stand the rain



Now listen to Eruption's version



Farian has been doing this for years.

had no idea Talib's "Sweet Memories" track's DNA is from the same song as Missy ""The Rain".
