TLC in JAPAN- APRIL 4, 2009
Experimenting back in 1992 with a unique blend of hip-hop, R&B and pop. TLC created a sound that eventually stamped a new era in music and paving the way for many artist out today. The trio charted four Billboard Top 10 singles off their debut album, Ooooooohhh...on the TLC Tip. Late 1994, TLC received their first No. 1 smash, Creep and other Top 10 hits, Diggin’ On You, Red Light Special & Kick Your Game. The empowering girl group help fade out the CrazySexyCool era with their biggest single ever, Waterfalls in the summer of 1995. The society-inspiring mega hit spent seven weeks at No. 1, making it one of the most successful songs by a female group ever. CrazySexyCool became “Best-Selling Hip-Hop Album of All Time” according to Guinness World Records in 1998. It accomplished as one of the first albums ever to receive a diamond certification plaque by the RIAA: signifying 10 million records sold. Early 1999, TLC proved they still had reign in the music industry. The monsterous group topped the charts for the third time with No Scrubs for the follow-up third LP, Fanmail. The record was dedicated to the fans. Later that summer for the fourth and last time with the self-esteemed Unpretty, spending nearly a month at No. 1. They once again proved they were the biggest group of the '90s. They held the record of "The Best-Selling Female Group of All Time" by 2000, sold over 50 million albums world-wide, four No. 1 hits, numerous top 10 hits, three multi-platinum albums and one diamond album, and multiple awards throughout their 18 year career including four Grammys. But what defines TLC are their personalities and a sound that we'll never forget. The crazy sexy cool trio isn't like any other group whom can replace a member and call it a day. The chemistry they have amongst the three is indisputable. On April 25, 2002, the groups future was put in jeopardy. Lisa Nicole Lopes better known as Left Eye life was cut short at the tender age of 31. T-boz & Chilli released the posthumous funky R&B style album 3D on Novemeber 12, 2002. It contained the heart-felt tribute Turntable. The last album was TLC Now & Forever: The Hits, which released in 2004 boasting 19 tracks of hits and two unreleased tracks. In the fall of 2009, the remaining members of TLC, T-boz and Chilli hinted a new TLC record is in the making for 2010.
On heavy socializing days I like to give helpful advice
So I'll share tape #1 from my series
"How To Become Cool Over Night"
"Flirt Work Exercise"
Before putting in flirt work Jog in place Do several jumping jacks with loud hand claps Clear throat with goat like sounds After witnessing all of this If, she is still around Prepare to let some clever words out Put on bifocals See the words, correctly Really focus And speak "Hi How are you doing?"
Now consider yourself an expert Who should never have to seek advice on this subject again Proceed to next tape "Getting the first date in"
Today I tried to get away from the madness of the city Went to a farm to relax Ran across a loud mouth hip hop cow That called himself
"Legend Dairy"
I'll admit, he could milk a beat And his words flowed like butter But his catch phrases "Word to the Udders" And "Moo Over!!!" Came up way too often And The chips he was eating Were suspect, at best While praising his minister, Pastor Eyes He deep branded a tattoo Right before my eyes
Talking about things that "could be Found up In the great round up" His dancer circling around us
I figured I needed to U-Tube These dudes because Who'd believe me?
When his D.J., Udder Lee Closed my laptop and said "Take it easy There is only one brand of computer you can use That will get you through the gateway Ain't that right, 'Mac'?" He motioned to his yes cow knowing full well what he would say
So, I decided to just forget about the whole crazy incident And ask you How was your day?
Great profile. Peace and progress. Many thanks for adding me and looking forward to your comment.. Any suggestion is welcome. Hope you enjoy and dance to my Music. All the best wishes. Farid
