      With millions of vanilla let’s just accept the fact that the filthy rich play with regular people like toys. Like a bunch of dolls and when those dolls are more of a burden than a positive you don’t need lay with the dolls anymore. Dababy had mental health issues but he really just thought he was on one and fucked up

      @@jeremybrunk9576hammer just said he’s not doing 50 years of hip hop because it’s all horse shit. It is. White rich old men buying black entertainment to dance for them. Hahaha. They’d go to the theatre and literally complete a circus act. Then get good, a little money, and tons of women and accommodations. Then they get big headed and say they want more power and threaten things like not performing or getting hammered by every second of the da so they can’t operate and the label has to “strategically exit them”. Milli vanilla was removed. The tape skip was intentional and to screw then and embarrass them publically.

No one on TikTok is acting like the songs they’re using was theirs and that they’re the sole artist who wrote and recorded the songs. Things change over the years. I’m sure they still use back vocals during concerts but they still sing live.

    Robin Thicke deserved everything he got but Milli Vanni didn't. Their story is one of the worst to ever come out of the music industry and Frank should burn for what he did to everyone involved in the situation. I'm glad Miley Cyrus thrived after What Happened, especially after I learned about just how Disney treated and trapped her. As for Dababy? He is one of the worst cases of self sabotage I've ever seen and I never even knew who Michelle Shocked was until this video sooo...yeah.

      Miley appropriated black culture and so did her sister then they recovered and profited off that, then go back to normal and profit
      They also were drug addicts for fun and art and then profit off that and pretending to be sober. Meanwhile most ppl would die or go to prison doing the same shit without money

      I heard in another video about Disney stars that due to her having the name Miley in the show, Disney owned a large percentage of the money for every project she did because she was treated like a brand (not sure if I got that right). She had to either perform under a different name or do something so crude that Disney would drop her and she chose the second route. Apparently that's why Disney likes to use the actors' real names in the shows they make (That's So Raven was done with the same business model in mind).

      Im a professional dancer and tbh, for a live show i think its acceptable for certain moments. Like, if the artist dances, its pretty impossible to hit high notes or complex vocal runs while dancing your ass off lol.
      Usually we choreograph moments for the artist to catch their breath and stop dancing for more difficult songs or verses

      We will sing it if we can, 😮 but often the dance choreography is so involved/technical that the singing wouldn't be as good as it could/should be 🤷‍♂️☝️👀

    I saw Milli Vanilli in concert with Young MC, and they were all fabulous! The stage performance they put on was amazing, but I did wonder how 2 guys slam dancing and running all over the stage performing could still have the breath to sing. I figured they were lip syncing, but it was still one of the best shows I've ever seen. I don't think their being villianized was justified.

      Facts. And singer Jon B. (with his foine self) was *threatened heavily* by Thicke. And rightly so; Jon B had to work 100x harder to get the ball rolling for his career and his name out there. Robin didn’t have to do *any* of that, due to his parents and their connections. Add to it that Thicke is one smug douchebag. I fux with Jon B heavy; he’s super humble and sweet, while Thicke is just a smug, rich kid who has no humility, and exploited the genre he specialized in, just like Kid Rock. I can’t stand Kid Rock either.
