Would've figured New Edition, Zapp, Parliament Funkadelic, or act that's been around longer than TLC would have gotten the nod, but congratulations to TLC nonetheless.

Yeah, I don't think that's true. Like, at all.

It's way too early to determine that PLUS it came from Wikipedia.

I like TLC but there is alot of more deserving people who have been in the industry decades longer, we'll just have to wait and se if this is true..i don't receive the BET channel anyways:lol:

Sure it wasn't the 'You-made-some-catchy-radio-friendly-RnB-in-your-heyday-and-we're-sorry-one-of-the-group-died-but-let's-not-go-nuts' award?

To be quite honest, I think they deserve the honor. TLC was a RARE example of a group that had image, talent and that IT factor. They are legends.

Like TLC a lot but Lifetime Achievement Award?

I'm not surprise though, this is BET.

They let that Antoine Dobson on there to perform so anything and everything is possible with EBT

I like them too but Lifetime Achievement Award for 4 albums.

Better them then Keri Hilson or Diddy

Agreed.

I'm gonna sound like a dick but

I think they were great, but for fuck's sake, come on

Drop a few classics, either you get a lifetime achievement award or an Unsung episode.

I'm happy to see this, and hopefully Prince will present them with they award hehe

WAIT! How are y'all convinced this is true?!

THINK ABOUT IT!

What's the source?

W-I-K-I-P-E-D-I-A!

Do y'all want me to put a magnifying glass on it?

I don't care if its true or not, I want them to get it now!

And if someone like, say, oh, Stevie Wonder gets it, you better not be pitching a bitch.

That's the power of Wikipedia.

i love tlc but i dont think they accomplished enough or had the longevity to get any lifetime awards

We had no problem handing out lifetime achievement awards to younger acts in previous generations.

Well duh, why you think Whitney Houston was honored with one the first year of the show?

Love TLC but I have to say it is a little to early for them to get a LIFE TIME achievement award. With only 4 albums under their belt togehter. With their debut in 1992.

1992 was a long time ago, and their music endured. I think it would be okay to honor that.

That's like saying 1980 "you can't honor no damn Supremes!" but how long u finna wait? They had nuff hits.

The Supremes had like 30 albums (and about 45 singles that charted) by the time 1980 rolled around and they broke up three years before then. That's a nice comparison but if you compared them, the Supremes got more attention for their music during their tenure than TLC did. To be frank, most of the 1990s groups had potential to be legends. Maybe we can call TLC that, who knows?

The Supremes had like 50 albums (and about 45 singles that charted) by the time 1980 rolled around and they broke up three years before then. That's a nice comparison but if you compared them, the Supremes got more attention for their music during their tenure than TLC did. To be frank, most of the 1990s groups had potential to be legends.

You don't need 50 albums to make an impact though; that's just pertaining to the decade we're comparing to.

Fuck it, cancel the whole award then. No one achieved nothin'.

Well of course TLC had impact! I was just saying, compared it to when the Supremes did it in the '60s, it was a bit unusual.

My whole issue wasn't with them getting it, my issue was how valid is this news?
