Quote from: Lucid Salvatore on July 26, 2025, 01:23:13 PMThe reason why I think a lot of R&B fans put TLC over DC is because TLC were more sophisticated and mature, and stuck more to R&B.


DC started off very sophisticated and mature with that debut album, but became more pop oriented with the later albums. Survivor is damn near a pop album.
TLC came first and ppl seem to rate their albums highly so I understand why ppl would place them high
aka the music was/is top tier
Project started: 2014 Wrapped up: 2024

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

they actually managed to get "message songs" (songs with deep substance and meaning) across to the gorls

that in itself is a book

if someone told me someone singing about people gettin the special sauce and shot down in the hood would be a massive crossover pop hit and it never happened before, i'd honestly think they were delusional

This classic cameo and song

Worship them

DC was the last GOOD girl group imo. Everyone that came after them was trying to be them and/or just didn't have "it".

And yes, they were the best, closely followed by SWV.
