LOL at T-Boz coming for "non-singing singers" and "rappers(Nicki)" judging talent shows.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked 3D, there was so much hate around it when it was released. I actually thought it was a more consistent album than Fanmail. The singles just weren't as strong.
I just didn't like those forced Left Eye raps they put on the album that had nothing to do with the damn song. I understood wanting to work her in, but it was a huge WTF. Chili and T-Boz are singing about f**king and then Left Eye comes on rapping about some virgin getting played. It made no sense, lmao.

I went back and watched all the 3D videos last night. I forgot how epic TLC's videos are (since Turntable is a retrospective and includes clips from every video).

*sigh* the good ol' days of the 90s.

LMAO...I hope if they do make another album they leave Left Eye off tracks where the subject matter of the track doesn't coincide with whatever verse they've chosen to throw in. Some of those inclusions on 3D were laughable.

It's officially the 10 year anniversary of 3D! A few questions to celebrate: 1. What would've been your single choices for this (at least 3 songs)? 2. What did you think of the album cover? 3. Do you think the international bonus tracks ("Get Away" "Who's It Gonna Be") should've been included? 4. What's your favorite song off it (pick ONLY one)? 5. How does it rank for you among their previous albums?

1. As far as the singles go, I would've structured the release strategy similar to the FanMail plan, since the music industry was moving into radio-dominated territory at the time. 1st - Quickie as a buzz track to Urban and Rhythmic radio well in advance much like (Silly Ho)
2nd - Girl Talk still would've lead because I don't think anything else worked, but I would've book a performance on the AMAs or New Year's stuff as better promo (No Scrubs)
3rd - In Your Arms Tonight to Urban AC, Urban, Rhythmic, Pop/Turntable to International markets and AC/Hot AC - Grammy performance of Turntable as tribute to Left-Eye (Unpretty/I'm Good at Being Bad)
4th - Dirty Dirty to all formats to pick the pace up
5th - Damaged to Hot AC, AC, Pop, Rhythmic/So So Dumb to Rhythmic, Urban, Urban AC (My Life/Dear Lie)
6th - if needed/wanted Good Love to all formats
2. I liked the artwork. I thought it was a nice evolution from FanMail. 3. I've never heard them, so I don't know. 4. Turntable 5. CrazySexyCool and 3D are tied for second for me. FanMail is their best, and Ooooooohh...On the TLC Tip is good, but it hasn't aged well.

1. What would've been your single choices for this (at least 3 songs)? The single choices are kinda weird for me because I love the album, I just think that by the time it came out, it was dated. That Shakes'pere computerized production wasn't the tea in late 2002. BUT if I HAD TO CHOOSE:
01. Quickie 02. Give It To Me While It's Hot 03. Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
2. What did you think of the album cover?
It's cute. Not really eye popping but hey what can you do?
3. Do you think the international bonus tracks ("Get Away" "Who's It Gonna Be") should've been included?
Aint neva heard 'em
4. What's your favorite song off it (pick ONLY one)?
OVER ME for the WIN!
5. How does it rank for you among their previous albums? 01. 3D 02. FanMail 03. Oooooo On the TLC Tip 04. CrazySexyCool.

For anyone who hasn't heard the bonus tracks off 3D yet:
1. Get Away (Japanese Bonus Track, also a B-Side to "Girl Talk")
2. Who's It Gonna Be (CD/DVD Edition Japanese Bonus Track)

How does it rank for you among their previous albums? 1. TBH, I wouldn't have changed the singles, I guess. There wasn't that many strong songs on the album to begin with. 2. I know they couldn't have done a lot due to the death of Lisa, but it's aite. Lol 3. 'Get Away' could've replaced 'Dirty Dirty', 'Who's It Gonna Be' for 'Hey Hey Hey Hey'. 4. Just one? :'( Hmmm. 'Give It To Me While It's Hot'. 5. This is my least favorite album for all the obvious reasons. This lacked a true & sincere presence from Lisa, the samples, the direction & the material. The album did contain some nice tracks, but it was clearly not their best work. I go back & forth w/their debut & diamond album as my favorite & their best body of work. Depending on which day it is, lol, "FanMail" & "3D" falls right behind 'em.

I didn't like 3D at all. There were only a few songs from that album that were keepers for me, whereas their previous two albums were practically keepers from beginning to end (especially CSC).

1. What would've been your single choices for this (at least 3 songs)? 1. Damaged 2. Girl Talk 3. Good Love
2. What did you think of the album cover? I think it was a bit tacky TBH.
3. Do you think the international bonus tracks ("Get Away" "Who's It Gonna Be") should've been included? Only 'Who's It Gonna Be" shouldve replaced GITMWIH
4. What's your favorite song off it (pick ONLY one)? Good Love. The song has really aged well and is the only song I listen to from the album
5. How does it rank for you among their previous albums? 4th. With Fanmail, CSC and OOTTT preceding it.
IMO they souldve promoted and pushed Damaged hard cuz that was the only viable hit from the album. It's a shame that radio sarted losing interest just as the video was out :(

It's interesting to me that most (myself included) wouldn't keep "Hands Up" as a single, because I think it's a good song.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that video, but I don't know what LA Reid was thinking having it be the 2nd single.

I've always thought if they did another album that they should do features with established and up and coming female MC's in the Left Eye role (not that she can EVER be replaced) instead of trying to fit those left over raps from old tracks. Can probably kiss a Nicki collab goodbye at this point...but I think Missy would fit into their vibe really well...

1. What would've been your single choices for this (at least 3 songs)? Girl Talk, In Your Arms Tonight, Damaged
2. What did you think of the album cover? I actually really like it.
3. Do you think the international bonus tracks ("Get Away" "Who's It Gonna Be") should've been included? I really like both songs. Maybe added to the end of all editions but I don't think they should have replaced anything. "Who's It Gonna Be" sounds like it fits on the album more, but I like "Get Away" better.
4. What's your favorite song off it (pick ONLY one)? Damaged
5. How does it rank for you among their previous albums? Last, but I still love it. (Ranking: FanMail, CrazySexyCool, Ooooooohhh...On the TLC Tip, 3D.)

I loved 3D. No, it wasn't as great as CSC and FM and yes, Lisa's raps sounded very cut-and-paste/out of place on almost all the songs she was featured on, but I do think it had some truly great material on there. Had Lisa not died, I doubt the album would've sounded drastically different. I'm still heartbroken over Damaged not smashing the charts the way it deserved to.

I miss the second greatest female group of all time ( and nope i ain't referring to destiny child love dem too), Chili in her recent pics looks great so does T-Boz outside of the little belly pouch she has right now...on a side note TLC was playing when i lost it.

That's good for T-Boz, considering most of her life she was underweight to the point of being unhealthy.

There has been a lot of recent attention from fans on "It's Alright" (the unreleased track that leaked in LQ in 2002). Chilli initially claimed that she didn't know the song, and T-Boz told fans it was a Chilli solo song, but now Chilli has said that she does remember recording it. The producer said it's from the FanMail recording sessions, and that Lisa wanted it to be the lead single. Fans are trying to get it released. I hope it works out. It's one of my favorite TLC songs. It would be amazing to finally get it in HQ after more than a decade.

Release it as a buzz or promo single? Either way, that'll be hot if this can get some type of airplay after all this time.
