On the TLC Tip is the debut studio album from American R&B group TLC, released February 25, 1992 on LaFace Records. The title of the album comes from the last line of Left Eye's rap on "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg". The album peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart. By May 1996, it was certified quadruple-platinum by the RIAA for shipping four million copies in the United States. TLC signed their first contract with LaFace Records on August 16, 1991 and began production on their debut album. For the album, TLC collaborated with Babyface, L.A. Reid, Dallas Austin, De Funky Bunch, Jermaine Dupri and Marley Marl, who helped Lopes with the songwriting. Production finished in December 1991. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly praised the effort as well as the group and its message, calling TLC "a perfect pop group for the times." In a fairly positive review, Steve Huey of Allmusic states that "although it's uneven, the best moments of On the TLC Tip deserved their popularity, and set the stage for the group's blockbuster success the next time out." The album peaked at 14 on the US Billboard 200 and reached the third spot on the R&B Albums chart. According to Nielsen SoundScan it sold 2.5 million copies in the US. It was eventually certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA for shipping four million copies in the US. No. Title Writer(s) Producer(s) Length 1. "Intro" 0:30 2.
