C+C Music Factory, the ’90s music group responsible for classic hip-house tracks like “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” and “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…,” have been back in the news lately for disreputable reasons. Last week, C+C were announced as part of the extremely ’90s-heavy initial lineup for Donald Trump’s Freedom 250 concert series, the Great American State Fair. While other acts dropped out, rapper Freedom Williams, who guested on some of C+C’s biggest hits, defended his involvement in a saucy seven-minute rant filmed while he was on the toilet, essentially arguing that he needs the money and a gig’s a gig. Williams acquired the legal rights to the C+C Music Factory trademark for live performances in 2003, and he controls the longstanding C+C Instagram account.
