CrazySexyCool August- CrazySexyCool

     TLC's CrazySexyCool is one of the most celebrated R&B albums of all time. After TLC's overnight success, the big question on critics' minds was, "Can they do it again?"  They were essentially written off.   However, TLC silenced those critics with a vastly different outcome. 
     Fueled by months of  drama surrounding Left-Eye and her infamously burning down her then boyfriend, NFL player Andre Rison's home while they were recording their sophomore album, and then later, TLC's members filing for bankruptcy during the enormous success of CrazySexyCool, buzz was high and stayed high for the feisty trio.  TLC did not disappoint.  They brought the good music along with the turmoil.
