Customer Rating: 
Summary: someone should mention this is censored
Comment: someone should mention this is censored . . . even though their main albums didn't have parental advisory warnings on them this compilation bleeps out some of the content. don't bother - get the original albums.

Summary: Hit & Miss
Comment: There are only 4 reasons for TLC fans to get this compilation:
"Get It Up" from the 1993 film "Poetic Justice"
"No Scrubs" - radio/video version with rap
"Come Get Some" - featuring Lil' Jon with Sean Paul of YoungBloodZ
"Whoop De Woo" - a "previously unreleased" track
The other 15 songs are from TLC's four albums, appearing in album edit form - they are the same as the album versions, only shortened and/or censored. It does not include single/radio/video versions of "Baby-Baby-Baby" or "Hat 2 Da Back". The remix to "Kick Your Game" (featuring Craig Mack) is not included either; nor are any collaborations ("What It Ain't (Ghetto Enuff)" with Goodie MOb) or b-sides ("My Secret Enemy"). (And the radio-played "I'm Good at Being Bad", "Dear Lie", and "Miss You" are not included either.)
Rather than "The Hits", this compilation should have been entitled "The Singles & More" - but not ALL the singles, since "Hands Up" is not included. The inclusion of "In Your Arms Tonight" and "Turntable" seem rather random, since there are tronger tracks from 2002's "3D".
The two "new tracks" are nothing special. "Whoop De Woo" is notable only because it include a rap by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes; "Come Get Some" is a Lil' Jon track with T-Boz singing the verses.
The song "I Bet" from the "reality show" competition "R U the Girl?" appears as a bonus track only on the 2005 re-release of this 2003 compilation release.
Unless explicitly bought for the four non-album tracks, this CD is not recommended to TLC fans who already have the other 15 songs in their superior album versions on the original albums.

Summary: A Big taste of Nostalgia
Comment: Ever had any group just "pop" into your head while you were absolutely doing nothing?! Such was the case for me a couple of days ago while I was (*groan*) going through my CD tower. I came across TLC's "Ooh, On the TLC Tip" CD, and thought surely these gals must have a "best of" collection somewhere. So, it was follow the yellow brick road to Amazon.com...
I don't believe I've enjoyed a CD this much in a long time. Every song was absolutely delightful; however, the cut of "Hat To The Back" is different than the one that's on "Ooh, On the TLC Tip", and I prefer that one more because it's WAY funkier. I also really enjoyed "Get It Up." That is a jam and a half!
It is so sad to think how this great female group (one of the best ever, in my opinion) was torn apart by the unfortunate and untimely death of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. They were all beautiful in their own way, and each contributed just as much as the other to the music. It is a shame the group's ending came about the way it did. That should prove to everyone not to take ANY day for granted; it may be your last.
I miss TLC, but this CD will help keep them all alive and in my heart for a very long time! This one's a keeper guys!!

This is the definitive Greatest Hits collection from the best selling girl group of all time. The current success of R&B and rap owes a great deal to TLC - their sound, creativity, and personality changed the face of pop/R&B forever. Lisa Lopes' tragic death unfortunately means that this will be the last album from one of the greatest and best selling urban/pop acts of our generation. 'Now & Forever - The Hits' includes over 75 minutes of classic TLC smash hits such as 'Waterfalls', 'Creep', 'No Scrubs', plus 'Unpretty' and features work by superstar producers such as Jermaine Dupri, Dallas Austin, LA Reid, Babyface, Rodney Jerkins, She'kspere, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and The Neptunes. The US release has been pushed back until early next year. BMG. 2003.
