[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

subs.
Dhey used to be da truth back in da day, bump what you heard.

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

"Because Rob and Fab refused to lipsync for the second album, Frank Farian blocked them from receiving royalties from the Milli Vanilli album."

Dope thread. Always felt bad for how they were treated afterwards

You gotta be joking breh, there are plenty of African Americans who wrote and played their own music that got robbed blind and died broke.

These dudes were one hundred percent complicit in every part of taking credit for someone else's work, and all it took was a cac offering them a thousand dollars. There were cats in the 30s-70s that turned down much more money only to be muscled into a shotty contract at gun point. These dudes were straight up sell outs from day one.

did you read what was posted?

This needs to be talked about more because it's made to look like they were keeping nikkas in tents and picking out hits like they were grocery shopping.

Imagine having a problem with being paid to basically do karaoke

The industry fukked these two over and whats worse is that the same shyt they got slandered for is damn near a industry standard today.

crazy how most live rap shows are basically the artist lip-syncing to their own track

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

I know the story. Long story short, a crooked white man got 2 black guys to sell music using their looks. They wanted to sing on their 2nd album and fear he would expose them, Frank exposed them first and put it all on them and the media really bought into these 2 guys stealing this music and being the mastermind behind all of this with no one knowing but them. white folks..

So fukking sad man

makes you wonder about the lip synching artist that didn't get exposed. If something like this crazy happen, I am sure this happens more than we know.

Never thought about that. Wonder if it ever happens in rap.

Amazing thread which should be read for folks trying to get in the game. Milli Vanilli's story is a prime example of desperation downplaying sense. Now these naive artists signing their souls away for the limelight, only to get fukked something terrible. These dudes got the worst end of the stick.

• Forgotten
• Albums being out of print
• The original singers getting dikked
• Manager escaping with the money
• No royalties at all

Such a shame
