Ok I didn’t think I’d publicly say this here but it’s relevant. As an HIV Positive person I just wanna say you handled this convo with the utmost respect, class, and knowledge. Thank you. And yes we’ve come a long way since then we even reached a point where a HIV+ can marry an HIV- as long as the infected continues to take their meds and be undetected. ❤
My sister is HIV and she struggled all her life until they came up with these new pills. She would get the cocktail in the 90s she almost died her viral load was in the 12 thousands!
As a teenager in the mid 90's, my generation was hyper-aware of the threat posed by HIV. TLC was one of the groups very committed to the fight against AIDS, promoting safe sex and making condoms a fashion accessory.
Left eye was definitely ahead of her time, her lyrical rap would’ve been unmatched today, had depth & meaning which is lacking in rap now. Tragic RIP🙏🏼

It is about sex and promiscuity. They weren't a couple, just a series of hookups/one-night stands. The way we were taught sex ed is with every person youvr slept with you also slept with their partners which is what they're conveying with the changing photos. Anyway, I remember this scene being a big deal when it was released to see a straight white couple in an AIDS conversation. We also used to have posters of TLC with the condom eyepatches at my school.
Toni Braxton Week 1! #5. He Wasn’t Man Enough #4. Breathe Again #3. You’re Makin’ Me High #2. Just Be A Man About It #1. Unbreak My Heart Please do Toni Braxton. She is one of the best selling female artists of all time, has several Grammys and other awards, was one of the leading acts of the 90s, and she is known for her numerous hits and her very distinct and unique voice, trust me you guys would love it. I couldn’t fit all of her hits in this list, but I think these may be some of her best and most important songs. A week dedicated to this legend would be amazing.
Radio stations played two versions of most songs sung by AA’s that had rap verses. Pop stations with predominantly white audiences got the non rap versions. It’s like they made us live two different lives and experiences of certain songs.
TLC Week #2 is a MUST. Please rain these blessings upon us, Weekly Top 5 gods/hosts: 1. Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg 2. Baby Baby Baby 3. Diggin On You 4. Dear Lie 5. Girl Talk
@@billyjohn7846 You sir are 100% incorrect. The background was there behind them. I’d watch the behind the scenes before commenting on something like this.
Waterfalls was one of the most expensive and considered one of the most innovative of its time. The dancing water bodies was kinda magical in ‘95. This song sucks you in with a vibe and hooks you with the message.
YALL DONT UNDERSTAND THE AMOUNT OF AGGRAVATION I GET FROM THE RADIO OR KARAOKE TRACKS WHEN THEY SKIP MY BOO LEFT EYES RAP. SAME WITH NO SCRUBS. SO IM HAPPY YALL GET TO SEE THE THE ICON IN FULL FORCE SHE BE SPITTIN.
Back then there were pop stations whose tagline was that they DON’T play rap music. So it wasn’t unusual for pop songs that had raps in them, to have a radio version with it cut out.
I'm assuming number 1 is no scrubs, but I wish people would explore older TLC. I loved their first album, it's what made us all fall in love with them, and those videos were so fun. Plus more rapping, lol.
Fun Facts: 1. Left Eye's rap was written during her time in a detention center. She was arrested for burning down her abusive boyfriend's house. 2. The video was shot at Universal Studios. They were on platforms in deep water with divers circling them. 3. According to Chilli, the video concept was based on the movie The Abyss.
This song still makes me teary eyed. Especially now, knowing that when they buried Left Eye, they put the rap or at least a portion of it on her grave stone.
TLC is quintessential Gen X. The HIV/AIDS crisis was finally passing its peak socially at this time (1995). This song had many meanings, but it was like a final “conscious” farewell to the very showy pretentious “We Are the a World” era of AIDS awareness. It also addressed some complex realities in the U.S. Black community. And yes, they intentionally removed Left-Eye’s raps from mainstream radio for obvious reasons.
This mv was shot on location at Universal Studios in the same water where Jaws was filmed. They are standing on a small platform over pretty deep water. They had scuba divers circling underneath in case one of them fell in.
I literally am a huge fan of TLC, and it was this song that really got me in to their music. I was a 15 year old kid at school, and this song and music video hit me HARD! TLC always had narratives in their music. They always touched upon real issues in life that no one else at the time were speaking about. Or they were speaking against the uprising and the glamourisation of street violence with the hip hop and rap artists who were basing their entire existence off 'hood life' As for the HIV line, TLC were huge advocates of safe sex. So much so that Left Eye used to wear a condom over her left eye during their earlier chapter as a band. I feel girl bands like Destinys Child and so on are pretty face value and basic because they were all about being a cohesive band that just put out music. TLC were three unique individuals who weren't afraid to speak their minds. And this showed during one of their awards speeches where they obliterated their record label and management for holding back their royalties. And finally, the water animation was a big thing at the time. I remember being wowed by it.
I really think the lyric, “don’t go chasing waterfalls” alone is powerful. Because when you literally chase a waterfall you might end up drowning if caught underneath one recklessly or you know it’s a bad situation if you end up falling off the edge of cliff in a waterfall. And the lyric right after that is just as powerful, “please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re use to”. Chances are if you stay near slower moving and more calm waters, you are able to take in the situation and know where to tread and when it’s safe.
They have footage of behind the scenes for this video. It wasn’t all in studio footage lol they actually shot it where jaws was shot. th-cam.com/video/qRV-xgzaenA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jQxB9_IUlSxF15vO
We need a tlc week 2 for their earlier songs !! 1. Diggin on you 2. baby baby baby 3. Ain’t too proud to beg 4. What about your friends 5. Hat 2 da back
I really hope you guys do a week 2. It’s pretty disappointing that this list didn’t include anything from their first album, which pretty much lays the foundation for who TLC is as a group. And you definitely need to hear more of Left Eye rapping. Week 2, please!
Homeboy in the front was in AWE when Left Eye started rapping!!! The actual lyrics are amazing and her "water/weather" references are *chefs kiss* Also, culturally, its crazzzzzzzzzzzzzy that you 2 didn't know this had a rap, and in the urban community, that was what everyone waited for lmao.
Certain pop stations do exclusively take out rap portions of songs. They'll play different genres of popular music except rap, and if there's a rap feature or a rap part in a song of mostly singing like TLC's "Waterfalls" (despite Left Eye literally being a member of the group), rhey'll take the rap part right out...
@weeklytop5 Hello Mike and Joe! Can you please react to Mary J. Blige? I would love to hear your commentary. 1. Just Fine 2. You are Everything 3. No Drama 4. Be Happy or What’s the 411 5. Enough Crying Please and Thank You
Bro, y'all gotta get more legends on the channel frfr. I have a few in mind but for right now, you definitely should give the Queen of Hip Hop & Soul, Mary J. Blige her flowers. So I have some songs/videos you should check out in particular. All That I Can Say, Deep Inside, No More Drama, Enough Cryin, Take Me As I Am, The One, We Got Hood Love, Someone To Love Me, Mr Wrong, Right Now, Whole Damn Year, Come See About Me. All dope frfr.

What l liked about this music video is that they show how HIV affects not just the gay community, which is what made the epidemic blow up so much in the 80s. But it's not a "gay" disease... It was just very prevalent in the gay community due to unprotected sex, and of course, being gay was already a terrible thing in the eyes of society, so naturally, it caused some major headlines, and it just became known as a "gay disease" in western society. But it's a virus... it doesn't discriminate.
They were actually in the water standing on a plateform up under them but of course you cannot see the platform to make it look like that were in the middle of the ocean and apart of the water as well. A great ollusion especially in 1995. You can also see at the beginning and the end that they were apart of the water.
Man I cant stand the JLo hate train we been on this past couple years you'd think she sex trafficked kids and ate them. Meanwhile ppl that actually did that are getting no hate. And we all know who they are.
Y’all have to do a #1.5 or something. Y’all have more songs to do with TLC. And plz do R&B soul artist Maxwell. Maxwell helped been in a new genre of music.❤
Left Eye wrote that rap on the way to the studio coming from an anger management rehab facility. Fun Fact: Ceelo-Green is singing background on this song.
My dad died back when I was 7 years old from hiv he got from a bad steroid injection in Mexico. He was very into body building, even went against Arnold at muscle beach and modeled. Sadly, he got skinny fast and passed away. I didn't know this song was about hiv growing up until later on.
The first time I ever heard this song was at a talent show when I was in the 5th or 6th grade at this elementary School in Redding california. It was funny because at least 3 to 5 different groups all came up and did this same song. It was hilarious
my mom used to play this song all the time when i was little and now this era is mostly all i listen to 😭 i feel like y'all would love toni braxton. 5. seven whole days 4. un-break my heart 3. hurt you feat babyface 2. you're makin me high 1. he wasn't man enough
Nobody speaks on the amazing talent that left I had to be able to rap on any subject and make it make coherent sense. She did not have to sit there and talk about her chains and interject other stuff that had nothing to do with subject Like a lot of these rappers do. She stayed on the subject. That's why in my honest opinion she's one of the best female rappers ever
Thanks to the movie We're the Millers, I can't listen to Lisa's rap solo without seeing Wil Poulter acting it out in the movie. It is a funny scene though.
I felt like it was them represented dead souls . Like they died young and although they are in a better place and dancing it was still sad they didn’t get to fulfill their life.
Ummm, the rap is iconic and it was never cut out of any version of it. The song is considered their crowning achievement and the rap is a huge part of why. It cemented Left Eye as a seriously gifted emcee
@@TheKittsPajamas Yeah they're right. This was very common back then. Radio stations with predominantly white audiences would only play pop and R&B songs if the rap bridge was edited out.

I would love to see you guys do a twenty one pilots week/s. There’s so many videos of there’s but as a start I’d suggest: 5. Holding onto you (their first MV) 4. Guns For Hands 3. Lane Boy 2. Ode to Sleep 1. Car Radio Or you guys can pick your own 5, you can’t go wrong with any of their songs/MV.
organized noize i think wrote this song - rico wade and sleepy brown. cee-lo green is on the backgrounds. bookeem woodbine, ella joyce from set it off is in the music video. fun fact: the scenes of the group dancing on the standing water was shot in a parking lot. f gary gray - the director behind friday, set it off and straight outta compton - he directed this music video. it cost roughly $5M to make it. left eye's rap was inspired by a rainbow she saw on her way to the halfway house, a condition of her conviction for burning down andre rison's house. what a tiime. in the second story, i always thought the pictures flashing by were of the one guy meaning his life was flashing before his eyes....
I took the flashing pictures as all the men that the woman had slept with. Then our dudes pic faded as he had passed away from hiv/aids and then the same thing with the woman
Best tlc song, one of the best songs of all time. I still believe left eyes rap is the best rap Verse of all time, deep, meaningful, emotive, incredible metaphors, the delivery..it was perfect. My fav part of the video is the way tboz and chilli look at eachother n smile during left eyes verse bcoz they just knew she did THE thing. Ps the sky looked more realistic before the vid was remastered lol
I never realized what this song was about, either. How about Bowling for Soup? 5 Don't be a Dick 4 High School Never Ends 3 1989 2 No Hablo Ingles 1 My Wena

I have so much respect for you saying that
My sister is HIV and she struggled all her life until they came up with these new pills. She would get the cocktail in the 90s she almost died her viral load was in the 12 thousands!

Fun fact, left eye actually saw a rainbow and wrote her rap verse on her way to record the song. Legend right there.
Left eye was definitely ahead of her time, her lyrical rap would’ve been unmatched today, had depth & meaning which is lacking in rap now. Tragic RIP🙏🏼
Such an underrated rapper
didnt she write her part while serving time? if my memory serves me well lol i think so

The 2nd story isn't necessarily sex, but it is about HIV/Aids. There is a prolonged shot of the couple choosing not to use a condom.
Yep back then HIV was practically a death sentence. These days ppl live a normal life span
It is about sex and promiscuity. They weren't a couple, just a series of hookups/one-night stands. The way we were taught sex ed is with every person youvr slept with you also slept with their partners which is what they're conveying with the changing photos.
Anyway, I remember this scene being a big deal when it was released to see a straight white couple in an AIDS conversation. We also used to have posters of TLC with the condom eyepatches at my school.

She is one of the best selling female artists of all time, has several Grammys and other awards, was one of the leading acts of the 90s, and she is known for her numerous hits and her very distinct and unique voice, trust me you guys would love it. I couldn’t fit all of her hits in this list, but I think these may be some of her best and most important songs. A week dedicated to this legend would be amazing.
I agree. I love me some Toni.
Yes please!!

4. How Many Ways
3. You Mean The World To Me
2. You’re Makin Me High
1. He Wasn’t Man Enough
They said three letters took him to his final resting place. H.IV.
I will say it again this was by far my favorite week ever!!! Their songs are timeless and I enjoyed your commentary this week.
Left Eye's rap is very popular to this song, but some pop stations will take the rap out. But the rap is well known.
It’s so annoying they did radio edits and would take Lisa’s raps out. They did the same with No Scrubs.

If they do a second week of TLC 'What about your friends' must be on the list
I'm So Good At Being Bad is everything. My personal anthem, lol. 😂
Guys! they were in water! Not studio. Million dollar budget. This is not fake. You should go watch the behind the scenes.
They're talking about the background not the actual water 😅. The background is fictional
They're in water but it's not the ocean lol, its still a set..its basically just an outdoor studio
yea they actually shot this in the spot at Disney where there's now (or previously was) some kind of Shark/boat experience.
@@billyjohn7846 I saw the making the video and yesit was a huge sky image begind them.
@@billyjohn7846 You sir are 100% incorrect. The background was there behind them. I’d watch the behind the scenes before commenting on something like this.
I honestly think there will be never a group as sharp and mesh well as TLC
Waterfalls was one of the most expensive and considered one of the most innovative of its time. The dancing water bodies was kinda magical in ‘95. This song sucks you in with a vibe and hooks you with the message.

Everytime I request TLC at karaoke they never have the rap versions 😭😭😭
The all caps were very necessary!!!
Back then there were pop stations whose tagline was that they DON’T play rap music. So it wasn’t unusual for pop songs that had raps in them, to have a radio version with it cut out.
It’s giving racism. Esp that Left Eye didn’t curse in her verses.

I agree that their older hits should be explored but honestly the first week is usually for the group/artists biggest hits.
I definitely agree
I loved & played "what about your friend" in college, but I know that won't be #1.
Word, what about your friends is great
I totally agree. What's your favorite TLC song?

This mv was shot on location at Universal Studios in the same water where Jaws was filmed. They are standing on a small platform over pretty deep water. They had scuba divers circling underneath in case one of them fell in.
Not that I was at any risk of trouble, but this music video as a kid straightened me up to listen to my mother. So much love, and how I miss her so.

They were actually in the water standing on a plateform up under them but of course you cannot see the platform to make it look like that were in the middle of the ocean and apart of the water as well.

Left Eye wrote that rap on the way to the studio coming from an anger management rehab facility.
Fun Fact: Ceelo-Green is singing background on this song.
My dad died back when I was 7 years old from hiv he got from a bad steroid injection in Mexico. He was very into body building, even went against Arnold at muscle beach and modeled. Sadly, he got skinny fast and passed away. I didn't know this song was about hiv growing up until later on.
They filmed this over where they filmed jaws at universal studios with a background behind them! They were above a ton of water
The first time I ever heard this song was at a talent show when I was in the 5th or 6th grade at this elementary School in Redding california. It was funny because at least 3 to 5 different groups all came up and did this same song. It was hilarious
my mom used to play this song all the time when i was little and now this era is mostly all i listen to 😭 i feel like y'all would love toni braxton.

I believe Hype Williams actually filmed this in the ocean. They are on some kind of floating platform and has safety divers underwater while shooting.
I love your commentary. Made my day.
Ironically Dru Hill is an R&B boyband and had the singer Sisqo in it
Def not a boyband.
@@TheKittsPajamas boyband, male group SAME DIFFERENCE
Male group.
@@DeeDiamond2981 same difference
@@billyjohn7846 Def not the same. “Boy band” is almost disrespectful.
"Dear Lie" would have been in my top 5 to be honest, i love the message of that track.
Nobody speaks on the amazing talent that left I had to be able to rap on any subject and make it make coherent sense. She did not have to sit there and talk about her chains and interject other stuff that had nothing to do with subject Like a lot of these rappers do. She stayed on the subject. That's why in my honest opinion she's one of the best female rappers ever
Thanks to the movie We're the Millers, I can't listen to Lisa's rap solo without seeing Wil Poulter acting it out in the movie. It is a funny scene though.
The all water them was to lighten the mood after the HIV comment.
I felt like it was them represented dead souls . Like they died young and although they are in a better place and dancing it was still sad they didn’t get to fulfill their life.
It’s a crime they removed the rap on pop radio. Her bars were insane and we all used to wait for it
They were actually in a body of water,they were at a beach i think on a acrylic platform,they showed behind the scenes of how they shot the video
You gotta think about the water animation part. It may be goofy to you now but back then that was probably the most coolest shit ever
Ummm, the rap is iconic and it was never cut out of any version of it. The song is considered their crowning achievement and the rap is a huge part of why. It cemented Left Eye as a seriously gifted emcee
Actually they were correct. Every time I heard it on a pop or easy listening station the rap was always cut out.
@@TheKittsPajamas Yeah they're right. This was very common back then. Radio stations with predominantly white audiences would only play pop and R&B songs if the rap bridge was edited out.

They actually did put a huge platform in the middle of the ocean and used a fake backdrop.
The CGI? water figures look a bit silly now but would have been a huge deal in 94
Rip left eye
I saw a documentary on the filming of this and they said it was done at Universal Studios
Ion know man while everyone had eyes on tboz and left eye mines was always on chili

At the time the cgi water people was the highest quality it was super big budget cgi
Yall didnt even watch the whole video 😂
organized noize i think wrote this song - rico wade and sleepy brown. cee-lo green is on the backgrounds. bookeem woodbine, ella joyce from set it off is in the music video. fun fact: the scenes of the group dancing on the standing water was shot in a parking lot. f gary gray - the director behind friday, set it off and straight outta compton - he directed this music video. it cost roughly $5M to make it. left eye's rap was inspired by a rainbow she saw on her way to the halfway house, a condition of her conviction for burning down andre rison's house. what a tiime. in the second story, i always thought the pictures flashing by were of the one guy meaning his life was flashing before his eyes....
I took the flashing pictures as all the men that the woman had slept with. Then our dudes pic faded as he had passed away from hiv/aids and then the same thing with the woman
Shout out to ORGANIZED Noize for making this track.
RIP RICO WADE

I requested Ciara week on one of your TH-cam lives like months ago and have been consistently asking in the comments.
Best tlc song, one of the best songs of all time. I still believe left eyes rap is the best rap Verse of all time, deep, meaningful, emotive, incredible metaphors, the delivery..it was perfect. My fav part of the video is the way tboz and chilli look at eachother n smile during left eyes verse bcoz they just knew she did THE thing. Ps the sky looked more realistic before the vid was remastered lol
They said three letters took them to their final resting place. Not three letter word..
I never realized what this song was about, either.
How about Bowling for Soup?
