TLCOoooooohhh... On the TLC Tip

Early-'90s new jack swing with hip-hop attitude, Dallas Austin's production jumping out of the speakers as bold and bright as the trio's outfits. 'Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg' swings hard over a James Brown sample, flipping the script on who gets to want what. 'Baby-Baby-Baby' melts into smooth, Babyface-touched R&B, and 'What About Your Friends' bounces on an anthem about loyalty with Left Eye's verse adding bite. Brash, fun, baggy clothes and condoms pinned to their sleeves. Youth with a swagger.
