The upcoming TLC greatest-hits album, Now & Forever - The Hits, will feature a previously unreleased track titled "Whoop De Woo," written by and featuring late member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.

The 19-song collection, due November 25,


includes such classics as "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg," "Creep," "Waterfalls" and "Unpretty," along with the new single "Come Get Some," featuring Lil Jon and Sean Paul of the Youngbloodz, according to an Arista Records spokesperson.

The album will cap the career of the best-selling girl group of all time, which announced it would disband shortly after Lopes died in a car crash in April 2002 (see "Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes Killed In Car Accident"). In June, T-Boz and Chilli gave what they said was their final live performance as TLC at Z100's annual Zootopia concert at Giants Stadium in New Jersey (see "TLC Say Goodbye, Beleaguered Ja Rule Basks In Limelight At Zootopia Show").

Both T-Boz and Chilli are reading movie scripts and planning on producing films together and separately in the future, though no projects have been announced yet, the spokesperson said. Neither has begun work on a solo album.

Now & Forever - The Hits track list, according to Arista Records:
"Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg"
"What About Your Friends"
"Hat 2 Da Back"
"Get It Up"
"Baby-Baby-Baby "
"Creep"
"Red Light Special"
"Waterfalls"
"Diggin' on You"
"Kick Your Game"
"Silly Ho"
"No Scrubs (Rap Version)"
"Unpretty"
"Come Get Some" (featuring Lil Jon and Sean Paul of Youngbloodz)
"Girl Talk"
"Damaged"
"Whoop De Woo"
"In Your Arms Tonight"
"Turntable"



and nobody copped this? yall crazi.

Im very surprised they put the remake of Prince's "Get It Up" (or may i say The Time cuz P is all over the track anyway...) I am also surprised they put "Hat 2 Da Back & "In Your Arms Tonight" on there

I have their 1992, 1994 and 1999 albums, plus the Poetic Justice soundtrack... why would I need this?

Got it. It's great. Got all their albums. Most of them are great too. You were saying?

well, what do the new tracks sound like? Are they worth the purchase?

I'm waiting for Santa Claus to bring it to me. I have all of TLC's albums, and they're all pretty much awesome. Crazysexycool is one of my favorite albums of any artist.

Crap collection. Chilli and T-Boz said a long time ago when planning this set, they'd include a bunch of songs with Left Eye that didn't make it on their albums. So what happened? We only get one song written by Lisa (Whoop de woo) and a shitty new song with Lil Jon .
Why would I buy this?

And i was just makin a TLC 2 CD set complete with remixes...i already made volume one... i hope i can dl the new jams. I just saw on cdnow.com that it sais that it is only released in the uk. The us release is Februrary 2004, damn

Also, they really should have a special DVD version, too.

Agreed! I get so sick of hearing about "unreleased tracks" that never seem to appear on these types of compilations.They couild have included a second disc to this set,filled with unreleased songs.TLC is now officially over anyway,so why not give their fans a farewell treat?


But,I'll probably buy this CD as a Christmas present for my niece.For me personally,I'm content with just having their first two albums.

It should be noted that this album might be out in Europe but has been pushed back to Feb 2004 in the states. I'd get it but it is hardly worth the import price considering I could get all the albums used for about the same price. And if anyone has this collection, do these verisons of the songs include the raps by Lisa. I noticed that the rap on "No Scrubs" from the video isn't on the album but if you ask me, that rap help make it a hit.

TLC covered The Time's 'Get It Up'?. What CD is that from or is it a unreleased track?. I might get it 4 Xmas, TLC were and still r a cool group. 'Diggin' On U' is probably my fave TLC song and is a great example of Babyface's excellent songwriting skills.

it is on Poetic Justice SDTK. They couldve had a second disc with remixes (especially Hands Up So So Def remix, and Aint 2 Proud 2 Beg remix which r great.). Sleigh Ride is cool 2. Ima put those on mine also.

thetimefan said:

I love that song "Diggin On You" too!!

Babyface wrote so many great songs in the 90s,it's absurd.But that's another thread...lol

Can't believe it doesn't have their cover of "If I Was Your Girlfriend". Always thought their take was interesting, since the song is written from a male perspective.
