They lied, lying is disrespectful. But, if you bought their music, you got what you paid for, a great album. If you went to their concerts, you enjoyed it, and you lived through a great moment in history, for better or worse, you got what you paid for. Once again history repeated itself: the weakest were thrown to the butcher. They left them alone we a press that yelled at them, embarrassed them, made them look vile, as if Rob n Fab were the masterminds and the only ones to blame, the price that must ultimately be paid for lies. No one was forced to sponsor them, they simply pleased and filled those who listened with joy and wholesome entertainment. If they don't sing then they don't sing, but they profited from it as well as hundreds of people keeping quiet because of the millions the album was making. In the early 1980s, the local media reported that Guy Anthony O'Brien (The Sugarhill Gang's Master Gee) had died when he was shot during the robbery of his coat as he left a club in NYC. It was in 2011, almost 30 years later when "I Want My Name Back" came out, that I knew the truth that those idols of my youth, thank God, were alive and thriving. There have been many artists who have been manipulated into dark paths by their handlers. I feel so sorry for Rob, and I'm glad I was able to see, at least in the last 30 seconds, Fab's true potential on stage.
