No Scrubs by TLC Song Info
"No Scrubs" peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart and U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart in the Spring of 1999. It is a Grammy Award winning song written by Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and former Xscape members Kandi Burruss and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle This was the first single released from Fanmail, the follow-up to TLC's wildly successful second album CrazySexyCool, which sold over 11 million copies. "No Scrubs" kept them in the groove and was a major hit. The song was a no-brainer for radio stations, as it was a fresh sound from an established group that had already made the R&B, Pop and Adult Contemporary charts. A smooth, mid-tempo number with a very memorable title, it found a home on all these formats, as did their next single, "Unpretty."
