They were the biggest act in the early 90's
Won a grammy and got stripped from it for being the biggest lip sync fraud in the music history.

Farina was just the producer who got the real singers together and then found Rob and Fab. The real singers were much older and brought in better looking dudes on some C&C Music Factory shyt. With that said, I feel like the Milli Vanilli Behind The Music did a good job covering their story. It's worth watching.

I'm glad you mentioned the C&C music factory thing. I read about what happened to that woman and how her vocals were used on mad early 90s house tracks.

But yeah...that scandal with Milli Vanilli straight up killed their careers.

Things is that Rob and Fab didn't really have careers. They were picked because they looked a certain way, got paid to lip sync and got tons of puss out of it also. But after a while they started feeling like they could "sing" on their own so ther produced beat them to the punch and outed them. It was a lame ass move because he sacrificed them when the backlash came. Maybe they woulda been aight if they didn't win the Grammy but once that shyt happened they were finished. If there was auto tune back then them dudes woulda been aight but they literally just lips synced all of their performances.

And they were using cassettes and what outed them was when during one performance the cassette with the "girl u know its true" vocal skipped... :mjlol:

They got sloppy but coulda EASILY took care of that by having the original vocalists do shows with them, sing and not be seen. Prince used to do that shyt all of the time with his artists who couldn't sing or play instruments. He would just hide behind a curtain, sing/play guitar and have them fools lip sync
