Nah, it's amazing how death can change your legacies. Nikkas was not checking for Left Eye except die hard TLC fans. She was never in any convo about top tier female emcees in the 90s. I mean, Lauryn, Da Brat, Yo Yo, Lyte, Ladybug from Digable Planets. No room for a female emcee who didn't drop a solo album nor have any real quotable. And yes they did FORCE her verses in TLC tracks. But I will say did get off in Waterfalls which is her most memorable verse next to Ladies night.


Besides Donnell Jones & that Ladies Night track I don't remember many guest appearances. She was not in demand.

A thread about how certain famous people were viewed before and after death would be really interesting.

It'd be pointless cuz literally every artist gets a big up after they die. You think we'd be calling Biggie and Pac the GOATs if they were still alive????

Thank God I never had to hear Biggie over Swizz Beatz or him trying to be like all those NY nikkas in the aughts and 2010s rhyming like he's from Atlanta.

“We were all sitting there like, ‘This is terrible’,” says Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, laughing as she recalls the time bandmate Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes turned in her verse for their first Number One single, ‘Creep’. “She basically wrote an anti-‘Creep’ rap. So when it came to shooting the first video we took the rap off of it. And because we did that Lisa put tape on her mouth as a protest so she couldn’t sing the song.”

“And not regular tape,” adds Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas. “We’re talking about the grey tape you put on a box at the UPS store, the stuff that can take your skin off. Then we had to go to the trailer and try and talk her into taking it off.”

Biggie would be RICK ROSS

Imagine him on Gold Roses or The Boss, both Rick Ross songs



Found a mashup of him on it
