This CD by TLC has all the hits from TLC back in the day like Aint 2 Proud 2 Beg to Girl Talk and MANY others. This CD would be great for your collection because it has all of the hits on 1 CD. It also comes with a DVD. If you like TLC or just know of them and thought about buying this CD you should because it is truly GREAT!

This album shows what TLC has done over the last 10+. From the singles from the very beginning to the end.... One down fall on this album is that the tracks have been shortened for some reason, but there are a few new tracks that are really hot!

1. Ain't 2 Proud To Beg [4:08] - We start from the beginning, this track has a very hip-hop flavour to it, and its great 2 dance 2 7/10

2. What About Your Friends [4:04] - Another up-tempo song, it's a great sing-a-long song

3. Hat 2 Da Back [4:07] - I luv this track, its definitely one of the best TLC tracks ever, great lyrics, great hook, it makes you wanna dance! 9/10

4. Get It Up [4:14] - I don't really feel this song but I'm sure many people do, it has a very old-school flavour 5/10

5. Baby Baby Baby [3:58] - Another track from the 90's, and its not too bad, a mid-tempo track that had great flow 7/10

6. Creep [4:26] - Creep is a very cool track, the hook is great 7/10

7. Red Light Special [4:37] - I never did like this track, the lyrics are ok, but I think it could have been produced better 5/10

8. Waterfalls [4:18] - The chorus is a re-make from something that I cant recall. This song is good but its Left Eyes' rap that puts flow into it 7/10

9. Diggin' On You [4:14] - This track reminds me of an early Aaliyah track, with the 1990's R&B sound, its alright 6/10

10. Kick Your Game [4:14] - This song is ok, the lyrics are cleaver but that's about it 6/10

11. Silly Ho [4:15] - This song is good, it has a great hook, it's for girls who are mistaken for ho's when they are not 7/10

12. No Scrubs [3:38] - One of the best TLC tracks ever, Left Eyes rap spices it up, Chilli should be doing more singing on the rest of the TLC songs......9/10

13. Come Get Some (Featuring Lil' Jon) (New Track) [4:19] - This is the BEST track of all TLC time I believe. The hook is hot, the lyrics are hot, it is soooooooooo great! I strongly recommend checking this track out! 10/10

14. Unpretty [4:00] - A song 4 the girls who have ever been called unpretty 7/10

15. Girl Talk [3:35] - The first single off 3D, in the past Left Eye period. It's a hot track, I luv it, and it does have Left Eye rapping on it! You go girl! 8/10

16. Damaged [3:52] - This song is meaningful, I like the lyrics, I think its hot! 7/10

17. Whoop De Woo (Previously Unreleased Track From 3D Session) [3:52] - This is a fun track that has never been released. I like it, it's a party track 8/10

18. In Your Arms Tonight [4:29] - I don't really like this song, it sounds like a Justin Timberlake song with female vocals 4/10

19. Turntable [3:24] - This is a dong dedicated to the Lopes family, a great way to end the album, it's a very meaningful song 9/10

It's sad that Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes no longer exists on this earth anymore. But nonetheless, TLC has a part of history forever. Their eccentric style and persona, along with the eclectic style of music and presence changed the face of female group status. They showed that being different is best to stand out and to be identifiable. The divineness of their participation to music is priceless and treasurable. It's non-comparable. Lisa Lopes' unique style of lyricism, Tionne Watkins' oddly-rhythmic vocal style, along with Rozonda Thomas' vivid, sensual vocal style can never be forgotten and destroyed. It's like God, FOREVER!!!!!!!! No man can put asunder.

Now and Forever is TLC's best album to date. It is full of classic innovative tracks such as Creep.(TLC was the first to have horns in their background} Now and Forever is full of uplifting tracks such as What About Your friends, Waterfalls, Unpretty, Damaged, and Turntable. That is one of the main reasons TLC is popular today because they write and record great music with positive messages. This cd is a must have in any cd collection because TLC's music exceeds all boundaries. This is the best greatest Hits album ever! TLC will always be #1! The new tracks Come get Some and whooop de Woo are so good that I wish tLC would have recorded a whole new album. Come get some is the crunkest and whoop de woo is sure to be a hit.

A collection of TLC's past, present, and future. Now & Forever tells you just that, TLC will be here forever through their music now. The album features all of the singles TLC has released except for just a few. The only disappointment on the album is the inclusion of "In Your Arms Tonight" and the exclusion of "I'm Good At Being Bad." "IYAT" really has no place on the album since it was never released as a single or even contemplated to be released while "IGABB" has been and was a hit all across the globe. TLC featured two new tracks including an unreleased track from the 3D sessions, "Whoop De Woo" (which pulls a rap from one of TLC's own songs, "I Need That," and REUSES IT!), as well as "Come Get Some," produced by Lil' Jon. What a collaboration. Definitely a must own if you don't own any of the albums or if you are a TLC fan.

I'll tell you that cd is good for those hardcore TLC fans out there. Most songs are memorable from those days, however the songs are somewhat cut short from their original track time.
Overall, a good cd in any R&B stack.

TLC has got their act together. This album is definately worth buying. This CD carried me down memory lane. I will wait to see if the new TLC is going to be as successful as the old group.

This album is a great way to go back in the 12 years that the amazing talent TLC has conquered the world. Every song on this cd is an amazing song, each having its own unique meaning. The unreleased song "Whoop-De-Whoo" is a fun song, one of the last song, unfortunately that we were album to hear Lisa's amazing rapping talent.

someone should mention this is censored . . . even though their main albums didn't have parental advisory warnings on them this compilation bleeps out some of the content. don't bother - get the original albums.

TLC will always be my favourite female group (with En Vogue, Destiny's Child, 702, and SWV). This GReatest hits is great but there are just a few things i find a problem with (folks bare with me... i promise it will be good)....

1. The DVD is great with the 5 videos selected, but they had way way way way more videos that were up to par with the videos there... i.e. 'what about your friends', 'baby baby baby', 'red light special', and 'girl talk'. And the DVD also has the behind the scenes look at the past but it lacks depth and humour... You know how they are....

2. The hits on the LP are excellent but i was not feelin 'Kick your game" i think they should have put 'if i was your girlfriend' probably the best remake in our generation....

3. and last but not least I think they should have put a few more songs featuring the late Left eye... To be honest she was the one tht put TLC on the map... i think every1 liked her the best... that is my opinion.... sorry


TLC: NOW AND FOREVER THE HITS... overall was brilliantly done and I dont know any TLC fan that would not live without this collection....
