TLC: Ooooooohhh...On The TLC Tip (1992). R&B Enters A New Era. (feat. Charlee D.)
B. Cox is joined by Charlee D. of the Word To The Mutha Podcast as they review TLC's debut album, 1992's Ooooooohhh...On The TLC Tip. After forming as a group in Atlanta in the early 90s under the tutelage of writer and producer Dallas Austin, TLC burst on to the scene as a combination of R&B and rap, similar to their contemporaries of Bell Biv Devoe. With three big singles, the group made up of T-Boz, Left Eye and Chili quickly found commercial and critical success. With their inventive fashion and quirky style supplemented by funky and hard hitting hip-hop beats with R&B tunes, they found a supportive audience that crossed over demographics.
With songs that touched on topics such as independence, female empowerment and safe sex, they laid the foundation for a career that would make not only the most successful American female R&B group of the 1990s, but the most successful American female group of all-time -- period.
