It's ridiculous because they could EASILY put out a great album very quickly. I'm sure lots of today's artists and producers would love to work with such an influential and massively successful group...they could find 10-12 hot songs and put out an album ASAP but it seems like they just don't want to work.

I forgot about their 'startup kick" cd. That got a decent amount of press if I remember correctly. They were on tour for awhile so maybe they weren't working on the album. When did they start the fund up?

They need to be on Social Media and giving out interviews to show that they are making progress. All of this hush hush sh!t is what ruins Kickstarter campaigns after they've been funded. Give out some possible titles, take a photo with even a low sound engineer, just something at this point because: They raised 430K total, which is almost 3 times what they originally wanted for funding Now it's time that they actually deliver a quality record, because if not the backlash will be godly. It has already started.

And whatever they release now has to be top notch or the people will be vicious. More so than they would have had the album came out sooner.

Can't say I didn't see this coming. Tboz and chili must have forgotten they are in the social media era and that everything they do or don't do (for that matter) will be under a microscope.
On another note, these veteran acts need to learn how to use social media to their advantage. TLC could have been using this to build a little hype.

Despite all the negativity. I'm still anticipating this album. They always deliver great solid albums.

EXCITED!!!! And yay for the interludes, they are the best part of a TLC album. I hope they do a 'Black Lives Matter' anthem on the album and inspire people like they did with Waterfalls.

What'd he say in the book? I haven't cracked it open yet but from what I know, he gave Tionne props for being the group member he went to for creative advice because she was forward thinking and ahead of trends. Also, when Left Eye burned the house down, Clive suggested Chilli be prepped for a solo career but L.A. didn't think she had what it takes to be a solo star.

People drooled over Chilli back in the day and this bald buttmunch thought she didn't have what it takes. Maybe he was pissed at Chilli cuz she found out he is a closeted queen? I mean thats the only reason i can think for him and that stinkin thief Pebbles throwing her under the bus everywhere. And the T-Boz twitter rant is due to the fact that he went on Wendy Williams and sad that people don't want to hear new music from TLC. Ironic because he signed them for a full album before his ex-beard made him drop them.

I just watched the interview and he was kind of a dick about TLC's new project, not to mention him and Wendy mentioned Janet, talking about they don't want new music from her either. What is it with Wendy and Janet? She finds any chance to complain about her. You're not a fan of her new shit, we get it, but many people WANT that from her and her album debuting at number one shows that (and TLC's kickstarter project is evidence of the desire for new music from them aswell). LA's not dumb, he should've have checked her.
Anyway, the only part of the interviewed I liked was their praise for Mariah.

LA Reid has always come off as a smarmy scumbag to me, so I'm not surprised.
For all the Mimi fans, remember that LA is the one who pushed HARD for "Say Something" to be a single, only for all of Mimi's choices to be massive hits (WBT, SIO, DFAU, GYN in Europe). Aaaaand he was skeezy pond scum even before all of his artists went bankrupt because of advances - there's an old interview with him and Babyface from when Toni Braxton first broke through. Face was trying to go on and on about Toni being such a strong songwriter and pianist, and LA kept cutting him off only talking about her voice and looks.

I'm not defending LA because he's always been a scumbag, but the TLC magic just isn't there without Left Eye. I donated to the Kickstarter, I'll support the new project but it's just not TLC anymore.
