Throwback Thursday: Sporty Thievz - No Pigeons [TLC "No Scrubs" Response]
The year was 1999. TLC had come out with "No Scrubs", their scathing rebuke of broke men who aint shit. The track reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the #2 song on the Billboard year-end charts. It was massive. Sporty Thievz came along and create a response to women shaming men who weren't financially successful — turning the tables on the women who weren't successful themselves, and thus were in no realistic position to be talking shit.
"No Pigeons" was a massive success in its own right, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the same time "No Scrubs" was ruling the airwaves. Watch the video above #ThrowbackThursday

- $250 bucks = Voicemail from TLC
- $350 bucks = TLC will personally call you
- $1,000 bucks = See a movie with T-Boz or Chili...and then talk about the movie after
