Where does the Milli Vanilli scandal rank historically with other music industry scandals

[Born2BKing]

The one dude still out here performing too and sounding like shyt. Sheesh

 

[Plankton]

Before the scandal Milli Vanilli was the shyt. Their music was a grand contributor to the late 80s soundtrack. The scandal came after their first album already did its thing.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

This fail never gets old and the fact that “true” gets cut off because it ain’t!

 

[3rdWorld]

Number 1 for me, if you think about it.

Their scandal was about 'Authenticity In Music'..it was a different era yes, but nothing can top that. Not even the drugs, sex, bad deals or deaths.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

It’s definitely up there. They were the hottest thing in music at the time. That footage never gets old

...this moment brought much laughter and joy in my household as a kid

dude walked clean off the stage because he knew he was DONE.

where this ranks? i mean, it's THE first but there are other bad acts too that deserve to be exposed like this and it's not really seen as a big deal anymore because there's a bit of that SAME shyt still happening, as well as other acts not being authentic...

Everything they got blasted for is standard practice now so yawn

GURLYULENOITS GURLYULENOITS GURLYULENOITS

I would say that but it hasn’t really killed a career like them

The became the sacrificial lamb for the industry to modernize such a technique.

The doc about them really gave game to what really pops off in the music business . Poor Fab just wanted to dance

its still wild that the entire machine behind them let them take the fall for this shyt like this was all their doing. this shyt is worse than the black box situation despite its similarities because everyone involved was responsible but it was only rob and fab that ended up on the cross .beyond fukked up

 

[Rekkapryde]

Album was fiyah

rob never recovered mentally either which led to his unfortunate early death...but they got roasted so bad over that

Back then it was bad. Like the most embarrassing shyt to the point one dude offed himself. Today it's normal to have absolutely no talent so looking back with todays goggles it seems like a big deal about nothing.
