Milli Vanilli documentary out on Paramount Plus!
- Thread starter the elastic
- Start date
Brehs, this documentary was great. My favorite part was the press conference.
CAC Reporter: “don’t you feel bad for lying to the fans?”
Rob: “Did you grow up in the projects? If you were poor and you had an opportunity to get out, would you say no?”
CAC Reporter: “Your talent would’ve got you out of the projects.”
Black reporter: “HIS TALENT WOULD GET HIM OUT?? Spoken like a true white boy. His talent? RIIIIIGHT. You knew that shyt wasn’t true when you said it.”
That CAC tried to hit him with “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” babble.
Love it when brothers stay on code.
I loved this part
They were really in that press conference goin' O.D. on these dudes like they cooked up the whole plot, produced the music, deceived the industry all on their own. They were the faces of a creation, that the creator told the truth about when he didn't get his way, and the creator gets let off the hook. But a MF wanna sit up in there telling these nikkas that their talent alone would have made them superstars, and they shouldn't have taken the opportunity. Uninformed white boy shyt for sure. The manager outed them because they wanted to sing on the second album and he refused to let 'em, so they threatened to quit. They initially signed up thinking they were gonna sing the songs. Either way, even if they had gone along with it for a second album, this was gonna blow up in their faces eventually. They were lucky to make it as far as they did with it, because the suspicion was high long before it got exposed.
1. Seen it when it came out and loved it
2. They were really made the scapegoat when Frank Farian was the mastermind behind the whole thing and Boney M's success
3.
at ambulance chasing lawyers and fans trying to get money out of it
4. Crazy ironic Fab has a voice that would make him a pretty good artist today
5. I do believe race played a decent sized factor into it because they weren't the only ones and I'm not talking about Seduction, Technotronic, Black Box, and C+C Music Factory
6. Thinking about 5 makes me wish that there was an Chicago/Deep/Italian House Music renaissance today

The n-gga who submitted Blame it on the Rain to the Grammy's would of went missing that day
Unheard of at the time, no one including Madonna was doing that.

If only media and fans went in on phony artists today like they did in 89-90
2nd album after the exposure sold TWO THOUSAND copies 
But props to Fab on working on his craft and sticking it out

at the time that it happened, nobody really noticed or cared (I remember watching the Behind the Music of this)
The best part of the doc was when the Europe release showed the credits and Rob & Fab weren't listed and the US execs finally saw it and were like "I didn't know
"I didn't know why the Grammy stuff was so crazy considering how dirty the Grammys are, but that Milli Vanilli stuff had long lasting effects. Mariah Carey was up for Best New Artist the following year and some didn't wanna give her the award because she didn't tour, so some assumed she was faking it too (that's why her MTV Unplugged is a classic one)

This shyt was eye opening. I have need up sympathising with those brothers in the end.
They were basically just used and abused.
Some comedic moments all up in this shyt though.
Them just running off the stage when the record started skipping
Them being asked to sing on the spot and sounding ridiculous
The black reporter calling out the white reporter for exposing his privilege (spoken like a true white boy!!!)

Good documentary.
Pawg really saved Fab.
Also Fab, although it took years of work, can actually sing now.
