"There are dozens of us! Well, okay, tens of us. Oh all right, ten of us. If you round up."

Fans (sic)

I mean, tbf to Milli Vanilli, they dropped out. In fact, their response was something along the lines of "we never signed up for this shit"

I hear what you did there

Yeah in the press conference after being busted for lip-synching one of them (fab or rob or gab or throb or whatever, idk) sang to prove he could.

I mean, yeah, it was fine. Whatever. The quality of the vocals wasn’t my main problem with them.

Girl you know girl you know girl you know…

Isn't it just Milli now? I thought Vanilli offed himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. It would be disingenuous if one of them claimed to be a Milli or a Vanilli, when they aren't. Girl, you know it's true.

Unpopular opinion but as a collective artistic project I have no real issue with their music. And in fact, it's quite good. Yeah sure their presentation was dishonest but I'd argue no more than modern auto tuned artists.

I don't even know what this is. Does it come in any other flavors, or just vanilla?

their name is pretty much synonymous with the biggest lip-syncing scandal in pop culture history.

Vanilla Ice is full blown MAGA and is letting the current admin use "Ice Ice Baby" as an I.C.E. theme song

TMNT would never do a trump event unless it was to kick their Nazi asses. Fuck vanilla. Is he going to do his hits from 35 years ago?

Ice Cube maybe.

You know they were so butthurt about the Superbowl they threw their own party. Their party here is going to suck and we all k ow it, time for everyone else to throw their own 250th party

this article's a good read.

Shh! Grandpa doesn't know that!

makes sense they would be 'collaborating'

Yeah, I liked him when he came out, but I was literally 12. In my 20's I used to half ironically bust out Bawitaba when I was hanging with the boys as a throwback, and we used to half jokingly have it be our anthem. Then 2016 came and he started fondling Trump's balls daily. We haven't played it since.

Devil Without a Cause was one of my favorite albums when I was in 8th grade. I made my mom listen to it in the car and I still feel kinda bad about it.

This is so tough. My partner's mother is a vicious manipulator and abuser, still tries to put her hands on her grown children. I love him so much and want to do my best to support him but I can't have a relationship with her. She's not permitted at our house because every time we've tried, she starts a toddler tantrum over whatever comes to mind and gets violent.

I worry it weighs heavily on him and I wish I could stomach more interaction with her, I imagine it would make his life easier in some ways. But I've hit my max when it comes to abusive people. I'm a domestic abuse survivor and I simply don't have any more space for folks who behave that way.

You don't have to insult meth rock like that. 7horse doesn't deserve that

...probably. Shit, I hate that I have to do background checks on weird artists now

🤣

Was that the one about diddling kids or was that another one? I've never heard that or any other song from him tbh, I just remember that he apparently sang about how he likes kids

Huh, I think they're gay as shit. Seems to have the opposite effect.....

I think Milli Vanilli considering the gig beneath them is even more delicious.

Wut.

"Contrary to rumor, Morris Day and the Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair,'" he wrote. Day captioned the post, "It's a no for me."

We're all stuck in this bad dream together, friend.

I didn’t realize it until I got into the second paragraph, but I read this when it was originally published.

It is exactly as upsetting as when I read it originally.

The Rolling Stone is an extraordinary publication.

Respect to the author for showing just how sad and pathetic Richie is

It’s worth mentioning these are not the only times Ritchie drops the n-word during my visit. It’d be easy to label this as the rantings of a drunk racist, but as with everything that Ritchie does, it’s hard to know how calculated it all is. Is he just trying to get a reaction? Is he begging to be pilloried when this story comes out so he can launch into a very public tirade against “cancel culture”? Is this all just a play for more attention? Would any of that make it less shitty? 

The strange thing is, despite his rhetoric, Ritchie’s politics aren’t uniformly regressive. He considers himself socially liberal. And the longer we argue, the more I can see the faint outlines of reasonable stances on things like immigration, government regulation of corporations, and tax policy. But here’s the thing: Nobody will ever hear any of that over the shouting, the name-calling, and all of his other attention-grabbing bullshit. I don’t think he really cares because the shouting, the name-calling, and the attention-grabbing bullshit are who he is now. It’s as if the blurry line between Kid Rock and Bob Ritchie has disappeared entirely.

It’s textbook alcoholism. Super simple.

If he was comfortable with who he was, he would not constantly keep trying to get the approval of others, especially the Titanic pile of shit called Donald Trump and his followers.

I care because he is an insidious tool of fascism. And that tool is being used to destroy what little is left of democracy in this nation.

The question is: why don’t you care?

Never thought I'd be defending the guy...

Why are you? how could you?

Maybe he's actually comfortable with who he is and doesn't care to impress American twats.

lmao

rofl even

The dude's entire life has been spent in the pursuit of impressing terrible people.

So, when did you look in the mirror and just give up?

C+C music factory and young MC have also dropped out/said they didn't know.

Maybe they did and retought it for reasons. And maybe the festival organizers are lying. Hard to say.

The comment you responded to is a load of shite. I rebutted in another comment. It's a ridiculously false assertion.

See my next comment itt.
