"The Block Party," video, that she produced showed her love and dedication to the youth, she had so much fun doing that video, it clearly shows it when watching it! That single should've been a top 10 Billboard hit if you ask me, but the industry intentionally, made you sleep on it, because she left them and found self love, healing, and awareness, but the industry isn't about that, and so... That documentary can be a bit dark. but it also showed how she healed and freed herself from the industries grip.
Right! I tried to include clips of the Block Party music video, and even broke down the synopsis in each scene but Arista’s greedhounds blocked it. So I had to edit that portion out 😢
In my own personal opinion, LE was the most creative and talented of the group and also the most animated. Not taking anything away from the other members of the group. She ventured out to do her own thing because she was her own woman; nothing wrong with that. Even though she was amongst snakes, she didn't let that stop her from trying to move forward. She had a bright light that shined upon her. She was and still is a "Phenomenal Woman!" That is why she was "stopped" with everything she tried to do.
🤔AS A RAPPER MYSELF I TOTALLY AGREE I ALWAYS FELT LISA WAS THE MUSCLE OF THE GROUP ESPECIALLY WITH THE FACT SHE COMPOSED HER OWN RHYMES PRIOR AND DURING HER TLC CAREER REST IN PEACE TO THE UNIQUEST FEMALE RAPPER LISA LEFT EYE LOPES 🙏🏾🤍🤍🤍🤍🕊️🕊️🕊️🎤🫶🏾✍🏾💪🏾👊🏾😎
🤔LETS KEEP IT A BEAN LISA WAS TLC FROM THE DRAMA WITH ANDRE 🏠🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💀🔥🔥💀 TO WRITING ✍🏾 THE RAP IN WATER 💦 FALLS THAT BECAME THEIR BIGGEST HIT NONE OF THEM WITH OUT LISA ARE REALLY TALENTED FEMALES 🤷🏾♂️IN HONESTLY I NEVER LOOKED AT THEM AS SUPER TALENTED WITHOUT LISA ITS DEFINITELY A STRUGGLE MAN THE RAPPERS ARE THE STRENGTH OF THE GROUP 💪🏾NO DISRESPECT IM JUST SAYING TBOZ HAS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF VOICE BUT IT WAS A LIL SIMILARITY OF PAMS FROM TOTAL 😆 UNIQUE BUT NO LONGEVITY BEHIND IT LISA CAME UP WITH THE ALBUM 💿 TITLES EVEN THE FASHION SHE HAD STOOD OUT THE RAPPER WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF TLC
@@ccjammy5270no she was already doing that before she passed. What do you think left eye productions was about? Tey would've been like her not the other way around
They wanted to prove that they could control her and take away her success whenever they want. Lisa was really an innovator and so far ahead of her time that those label execs probably felt stupid because they couldn't see the vision
When the one who stands out the most leaves, nothing is ever the same after the fact. 😢 I just lost my mom in January. My life hasn't been the same, nor will it ever be again. 😢 She will always be "the love ❤ of my life." 😘💯😘
Lisa was way ahead of her time. Every idea she had we are now seeing in mainstream media. She was the brains behind TLCs success. She did the stage designs and everything. I really feel she doesn't get the props she deserves she was a genius ❤
Yes, she was way ahead of her time, creatively. Her Eyenetics website was like a treasure hunt. If I remember correctly, her avatar was a cartoon pixie version of herself as the Supernova. She had various planets that were links to different pages on her website. Each page was completely different from the others. One page had all of her music; another had her recipes because she was known to be an excellent cook. She also shared tips about the health benefits of sea moss. Each planet on that site was so awesome and so ahead of its time. I’ve never seen anything close to it since. Lisa also had a page where she talked to the fans, and she vented a lot about how the record execs distributed Supernova all over Europe but wouldn’t release it here in the United States. Lisa was very open to her fans, and it really sucks how someone as BRILLIANTLY smart and talented as she was, had her life tragically cut short the way it had. If she was alive today, she’d be a BOSS owner of several multi billion dollar businesses, and she’d give a lot of these guys today, a run for their money 💵 💴 💰
Even though I wasn't born (03) around the time when TLC came out, but it soo crazy how her solo career wasn't being taken serious especially when she has done all of these hits songs outside from her group TLC she was most definitely a head of her time. On a side note I am glad you are back with another video I hope to see more coming soon.
This is why I’ll forever side eye tboz and chilli for how they portrayed her in that biopic. They basically had their “sis” looking like the group drunk and that’s it…🙄😒
Well, Lisa did have a drinking problem, and she opened up about that before she passed. That's why she started going to Dr. Sebi. But I don’t remember the biopic, or their new documentary just showing her in that light.
I’m aware of that. But they didn’t touch on ANY of her creative contributions to the group that basically made them who they were. It was very one dimensional. And they didn’t even involve her family in the process which I feel was very intentional
She snapped on “you know what’s up” and her verse on “not tonight” was always my favorite. I’ve always loved Lefteye. I was so sad when she died. You truly left your imprint Lisa. We love you. Great video!
The label completely sabotaged her album and went against everything Lisa wanted. That project was very important to her especially with the numerology release date. I believe this crushed her and led to her untimely demise 😢
She had open the door to the spirit world which was very dangerous she stated that it wzs a dark spirit after her which was a demon that kinda stuff is real yall . I prayed for her soul because it was after her . She had a clear head . But was hunted by that spirit that took her life . She is so missed differently before her time .
They were jealous of her...and it showed. Left eye could have left for good and did well....but I'm not sure if the others would have been extremely successful as solo artists for many years. Left eyes collabs such as Ladies night, you know what's up etc were classics! She was the star 🤷🏽♀️ something about her was everything. Seeing them perform now doesn't feel the same......she added something amazing to the songs/videos and performances
I love my girl left eye but I kinda disagree I don't think neither of them would have been as big if they were to go solo . It was kind of evident with left eye when she released her debut album which flopped
@@shawnhall9792Well to be fair the album flopped because there wasn't any promotion done for it in the US nobody here knew about the to be able to support it and that was her problem with the label. They didn't support her endeavors and were basically waiting for her to fail so they could get back to their money maker which was TLC
Lefteye was all the way ahead of her time an absolute game-changer... that devilish industry took her away from her music, family, friends, and most importantly her visions & creativity. RIP 😢
You did a great break down again. This definitely explain her behavior because most of it was out of frustration. Not that you're so crazy like everyone kept saying. You really filled in the blanks that related to all of her ambitions frustrations and her creativity. She was way too creative and being with TLC stifled her. I completely understand why she was so angry with their project and so upset by her musical abilities being shoved.
Lisa was just like Lauren Hill, a lyrical genius ahead of her time, the entertainment powers that be... Couldn't let us as people, (of any race or sex, be that enlightened, that soon) Lisa and Lauren, were so ahead of their time (lyrically and spiritually thinking) That there lyrics, we're saving people's lives, and way of living. The entertainment powers-that-be could not have that!! They had to go just like Bob Marley and other artist in Hollywood or music or rap or hip-hop dance whatever it is that they do. Those powers that be refused to let us be enlightened they will either silence their artists or chill there artist just for us not to be enlighten, so damn sad!!
They remind me of indigo children. Third eye thinkers. A more powerful state of mind than any money, or power ingrained mind could ever have. They have an amazing ability to influence the masses' minds into being re taught. Organically. These types of people can be threatening to the "powers that be." Mm mm mm.
🚨🚨Lisa Left Eye Lopez knew exactly what was up. She was eons ahead of the game. It’s sickening how everyone EVEN her group mates we’re literally plotting against her. She didn’t call them out to the extent that she could have how most ppl would have and especially would have today (but she knew it would mess up the lil money they WERE getting). Honestly, she was the best in the group and one of my favorite female rappers. Her integrity, work ethic, and loving vibes carried her, but was also what they used against her.
I always said why they never speak on her success but always painted her the problem child of the group as if thats all she brought and gave titles to albums. Sure the stories are crazy but she was more than that. I love TLC but also a fan of Lefteye separately. Thank you so much! I was thinking of doing my own but You did her justice❤️
Left eye was so ahead of time with the style, lyrics, direction of music videos, and her creative & futuristic ideas. It’s sad that she isn’t here with us anymore but her flowers should be given 💐 💖
Thank You "Justified by Jeury!" Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes's truth needed to be told! Her Solo Music efforts were intentionally sabotaged & kept being blocked promotion-wise so she wouldn't succeed...what a terrible shady thing they all did to her, I totally understand her frustration smh! She was a True Innovator and had so many projects on her plate she was trying to complete. This is such a heartbreaking story 💔
Lisa was trying to do versus challenges before versus was a thing when she challenged her band mates to do the solo album thing. Edit: This video was very well done, informative, and kept my attention from start to finish! You did a phenomenal job!
Gail Gotti likely dissed her over Natina/Kurupt. You know she end up marrying him years later but she prolly wasn’t getting along with Natina and mad that Kurupt got her pregnant in 2001/2002. A similar fallout happened with Foxy Brown and Lisa over Natina and Kurupt. Lisa was ride or die for her peeps so anyone Natina had beef with, Lisa had beef with.
Well put together, she was always on a higher level, suppressed, she was by all definition a SUPERNOVA, and there hasn’t been and won’t be another. Love you Left Eye Forever ❤
SHE WAS EOOONS AHEAD OF TIME! 😭 She legit would've had an enormous impact on the entertainment industry ass a whole. She probably would've done so much of what Nicki Minaj couldn't do (no offense to Nicki she's the queen) All those artists she was putting on, having her family and friends all up in her business like that. Man she was so selfless, generous and loyal. 😭😍❤️ What a bloody freaking L the world took on April 25 2002. 🥲💔 We Love you Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. 💕😍 Those of us who know your truth will keep your legacy alive! Fly high sister. 🙌🏾❤️🕊
Jerry is back with another one 🎉 Lisa was very talented and it saddens me she wasn't able to have the successful solo career she should have had. She was also an innovator (with her fashion/hairstyles) and ahead of her time with her ideas, I think she would've been a great social media personality if she was alive.
I watched her documentary as a teen and had to revisit it as now as an adult. Seems to me that she was just misunderstood and waaayyy ahead of her time. Even in terms of her spirituality and business savvy. The sleezy music industry is never kind to headstrong, against-the-grain artists like she was. I wish I had her confidence and determination. It’s a shame she didn’t get to fulfill her dreams as an artist on her own. RIP Left Eye 🕊️
See I never knew why Lisa wasn’t on certain TLC songs it didn’t make sense. You just made it make sense. She was the STAR & is still the most popular group member til this day. She fucking started the damn group how dare THEY!
Idc idc she is the queen of hiphop LISA had it all and she ain’t have to have a fake booty or boobs anything she was a HUGE threat and was completely wayyyy ahead of her time soo fck gracious and intelligent had soo many layers to her & stood for what’s right wasn’t gone fold it’s really crazy fr she is a legend a fckin beast she put sooo much good and added so much to this world that a lot of ppl didn’t know about and it’s sad yes but I’m super thankful for ppl like y’all that make these videos that tell artist like her story but let’s be real it ain’t a female out like Lisa never will be
I loved and still love her solo album, SuperNova. I still have it after all these years. I made the mistake of saving it on my Apple Music library, though, so “Block Party” got altered with lyrics by Lil Mama😠 and “A New Star is Born” just disappeared.
Left Eye has always been one of my all time favorite female rappers! She doesn’t get enough praise but her influence is seen amongst so many female rappers today! The girls be trying to act like they’re the first to do certain things, whole time Lisa been did it! Thank you for this video, I loved every second of it! ❤️
Ms. Lisa Left Eye Lopes was a beautiful spirit, she opened up so many truths that needed to be known. So many of our true seekers are constantly dismissed and labeled difficult, or crazy. She was a force to be reckoned and she left a beautiful legacy for us all... Thank you for this informative bio video...👸🏽💛
She is the definition of a trendsetter, and the world wasn’t ready. She was so incredibly talented and has been a huge inspiration for creating such ‘different’ looking videos. Her work with TLC, Blaque and her own solo work is truly out of this world. She was taken away so early, but I know she’s at peace in the next world 🙏
It's likely the station you're listening to. Non "Urban" formatted stations tend to play non-rap versions of songs. It can also be the time you are listening as well. Adult formatted stations are now playing 90s music more frequently and most of those they are marketing to are not a rap audience. Pop radio was playing non-rap versions for years.
Her Supa Nova album was before its time...if it came out today people would totally GET IT....even her linking up with Dr Sebi was before its time..now EVERYBODY on their health kick🔥💯🙌🏽 True Visionary
It wasnt promoted enough. I remember when she and Tboz had solo videos. The songs were okay. When some of these artists go solo they don't always make smash hits as their team is now different. Lisa wanted to do alot of things.
I have heard both “Supernova” and “legacy” and honestly I think Left Eye would have made it big when “Supernova” dropped initially. I blame the labels thinking that if she went solo that their money maker TLC would have end.
Gone too soon😢Rest in heaven beautiful our beautiful angel in heaven you will never be forgotten you will always be remember left eye god bless her Family her friends and all of her fans all around the world you are in our hearts forever 🙏📖😢😘🥰😇💔🌹👑🎤💽💿📀
I honestly believe Lefteye was in the process of learning tlc even if no one wants to admit it. I feel like this documentary tells the truth because when she passed away they had a documentary that was streaming. She stated that she was really unhappy making the music they were making. I was 17 when she passed and i absolutely loved tlc back then. I bought the last album and it doesn't hit the way the previous ones did. Its not the same.
Yes, that's what The Challenge was for--to immediately get rid of the three albums they all had left to do under TLC's label. She got it from PAC doing a double album and clapping out one in 7 days to get out of Deathrow. She wanted them to leave too, but they wanted to stay under Arista. Which was a bad idea, since Arista was lowballing basically all of its talent around this time.
I remember her uncle did an interview around the time the TLC biopic came out. He said that Lisa was over TLC and really was over the music industry period when she passed away. She agreed to do the 3D album then after that was finished she was gonna be done for a long while at least. She was gonna fall back and focus on getting blaques career back on track, helping develop the other group she signed Egypt, and in the process of that focus on all the things she wanted to do outside of music as well. He said it was a possibility that she might've given being a solo artist another shot but as far as TLC she wasn't with it anymore. She still had love for T-Boz but according to him she wasn't on good terms with chili when she passed. Some say that's why it's hard for chili to talk about Lisa even to this day because they never got to make amends over whatever their issues were.
All of that's right, from what I remember years ago. Though like you said, people's attitudes change over time. Since the other two weren't 100% with her, that could wear you down after several years. 3D should've been their final mandatory album, and it would've been much better with her on it. As for Chili, it's gotta suck since Lisa gave her that name in the first place @@jackjill8129
Wow, she was ahead of her time like Prince was ahead of his time. 😢, she was an icon, and ppl loved her regardless of whether she was solo or with a group. Record labels are greedy vultures and are deaf and blind when it comes to genuine talent and skills.
She was extremely smart and 😢I was and still an one of her biggest fans. RIP to a very beautiful in and out queen. I truly believe some of her life stories should have been put into the movie. It would've explained why she wanted to go solo and why she had an issue with her group members and label.
Pebbles asked for 80% because she knew they would say NO! Who in their right mind would agree to give someone 80% of THEIR project? Gtfoh!!! Gurl, BYE!!!! And that's exactly what they said to her when they fired her trifling behind. 😂😅
Wow. I thought hi knew everything. I’ve been on RU-vid channels that were informative about Ms Lopez but this was really good you broke it down. I didn’t know they kept shelving her projects like that. That’s a shame her light didn’t shine as bright as it should have. May Lisa Lefteye Lopez Rest well 🌟 🌟🌟🌟
I appreciate how you focused on mostly lefteye and told her story from a totally new perspective. This was really good. There's things you've talked about that was NEVER talked about. Peace to you 🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Interesting and funny how Chilli moves her head maybe rolls her eyes when Lisa is expressing her self in the interview and then Lisa seems to know it and reasures her by also adding that the group is number 1 and puts her arm on her.😅
So sad how Suge treated her along with many others. She was in her positive ish trying to put demonic evil individuals on to her journeys they didn’t respect her and it’s so sad. I was thee biggest TLC fan they couldn’t no wrong n in my eyes. I miss her her death really bothered me bc I loved TLC still do
Manifestation is real because I was just talking to my homeboy about how I wanted to do a video essay on Left Eye's solo career since nobody else had done it. Thank you for keeping her legacy alive!
I use to be obsessed with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes when I was a young teen and I listened to her solo album and everything I could get my hands on that she did, her music got me through my depressed teenager stage and touched my heart deeply. Born in 2000 I feel like I'm getting caught up on the 90's - early 00's times and ways of the industry was very Shady, Money Hungry and Backhanded. This video gave me more insite to things I didn't know before about Left Eyes life. I know during the drama with TLC she left for Death Row but I didn't know she dated and had a relationship with Suge Knight and that he choked her 😢 I think she was going crazy because no one appreciated her, wasn't being heard and she felt she was being controlled by everyone so in her mind Suge was a way to break free from it all. Like Tupac and Michel'le, Lisa went to Suge Knight for backup almost like they seen Suge as a protector and hid behind him when they felt attacked by others. The World did my baby wrong, her and Aaliyah were treated terribly by the music industry and I pray their souls have eternal peace from what they been through on this planet. R.I.P Lisa and Aaliyah ❤❤❤
This was soooo good and informational. I didn’t know much because I was young. I just know I was literally broken after finding out she passed when I used to be “Left eye” when my cousins and I would act like TLC. I wasn’t even over Aaliyah at the time 😢. Blessing to Left Eye’s beautiful soul. She was too much for her time.
