Reigndrop Lopes PIMPING Left Eye from TLC'S Image & Look

As a quiet music critic, I have been observing the whole TLC on-goings. Let me first say I LOVE TLC..those girls are talented. I am not surprised that Pebbles is suing. Seems like she is wrong and strong, she loves money, she knows in the back of her mind she did do some dirt to those girls (based on the movie at least) not me. I wasn't there. There was all the gossip in the 90's that Pebbles and LA Reid, really threw those girls under the bus financially in the 90s'.

Now one can't help but to wonder, where did Reigndrop Lopes comes in to all of this? My question is why was Reigndrop not trying to be a so-called Rapper /Musician when her sister was alive? Why did we not hear about this Ghetto Bootlegged Punky Brewster Lisa Lopes wannabe back when her sister was living? Her sister had talent under her belt like Blaque and Egypt. Where and Why was Reigndrop Rainbow brite Lopes not in the mix of her sisters talented proteges?

Let's now talk about the Left Eye Music festival, word out on the streets is “It was Ghetto As All Hell” Reigndrop continues to Pimp her sisters name and image by making her brand go down the tubes. The Festival has been reported to be Ghetto, Disorganized and in the Hood of Atlanta! Not even a Cotton Candy Machine was on Deck!

Then you have Reigndrop come out and Dances and Sings to all of her sisters songs! I get it you want to be your big sister! Reigndrop has even been reported to Charge for her own DAMN AUTOGRAPH?? Not even real Celebrities charge for an Autograph! The brand of the Left Eye Festival is not even Lisa's style! Based on reports, that festival is so Reigndrop can capitalize on her sisters brand to be a star!

Did you hear Reigndrops interview on the Atlanta Radio station? She lied left and right. According to an insider Reigndrop blames Chili from TLC for her not being able to get a Record deal in Atlanta! Sources say Reigndrop says Chili was jealous of her and Lisa's relationship! Hey Reigndrop Jealous of Chili much? She is cute and talented Your Not! The only thing you have going is you look like your sister Lisa Lopes but she was still Prettier, smarter, talented and richer than you!

Reigndrop I have heard your music and its horrible, based on what I have heard, you are the reason you don't have a record deal in Atlanta! Girl find your niche and stop trying to be Lisa! You look Gimmicky!

Chilli spills deets On Usher BREAK-UP

TLC singer Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas is spilling the deets on her breakup with pop star Usher.  Read what she confessed about the split and get the deets on TLC's founder member Crystal Selene Jones and her upcoming TLC tell-all inside.  

In an exclusive interview with US Magazine, TLC's Chilli spilled the deets on her public-breakup with Usher.  Chilli debunked the rumor that Usher's 2004 Confessions album was about her (she never said he never cheated on her...just that the album wasn't about her) and revealed that the songs were REALLY about Jermaine Dupri's love life.

"We were together when he recorded that album. All of those songs on Confessions, that was about Jermaine Dupri's situation. Usher was just singing it. But people kind of bought into it, it was just the timing of our breakup when the album came out. So people assumed that album was about us, but it was not. 

And Usher and I weren't oil and water. We broke up because I guess it was that time or whatever....he was that real love for me."

And about those cheating rumors...Chilli stayed mum on Usher's extracurricular activities, simply repeating that it was time to make a "move".

"In any relationship, even when it came to my relationship with Usher, when it was time to make a move, I had to do that. I don't care how much my heart was hurting, sometimes you're just supposed to be with people for a reason and it's not always a lifetime. Even if you want it to be, it just doesn't work out that way."

She also revealed:

"I'll always love him, forever, because he was my first adult love, a real love....we're cool, we're really cool. There's no hard feelings, nothing like that. It's all good."

The Five Craziest Moments From TLC's 'CrazySexyCool' Biopic

Though TLC reached dizzying heights of success, the R&B trio was as beleaguered as it was beloved, a story told in the new VH1 biopic CrazySexyCool. Executive produced by surviving members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, the biopic elaborates on the group's Behind the Music episodes, from Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' rebellious temper to T-Boz's battle with sickle cell disease, and adds the dramatic flair that VH1 has become known for.

Drew Sidora and Keke Palmer play the roles of T-Boz and Chilli, while Lil Mama plays the late Left Eye. Former manager Perri "Pebbles" Reid is played by Rochelle Aytes and producer Dallas Austin is played by Evan Ross, while Mack 10, retired football player Andre Rison and Jodeci's Dalvin DeGrate appear as ancillary roles.

Here are the five craziest moments from the biopic, which premiered last night.

Stage Crasher Makes Good
Lil Mama essentially became a hip-hop pariah after she stage-crashed Jay Z and Alicia Keys' 2009 performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, so it was no surprise that casting her as Left Eye was controversial. Yet Lil Mama is undoubtedly the star of CrazySexyCool. Aside from the obvious likeness between Lil Mama and Left Eye, the youngster masters the mannerisms and physicality of TLC's late rhymer to an almost eerie degree. Expect to do more than one double-take when watching the movie.

Some Like It Hot, but Probably Not Andre Rison
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Left Eye took her combustible relationship with NFL player Andre Rison to a literal level, when she burned down his mansion in 1994. In the movie, Left Eye flies into a rage after seeing that Rison has purchased several boxes of Nike sneakers for himself and none for her. Tired of his selfishness, she throws his shoes into the bathtub and lights them up. "He could've bought me some shoes. I ain't mean to burn the house down though," Lil Mama says in a subsequent scene while in rehab. When asked by a therapist what statement she was trying to make, she answers, "That I'm here . . . No one is listening. I'm not invisible. I'm right here."

No Scrubs? More Like Too Many Scrubs
Men in CrazySexyCool are invariably good-for-nothing scumbags. T-Boz faces unfaithfulness while dating Jodeci member Mr. Dalvin, while Left Eye is smitten with a deceitful, married man named Larry. The longest suffering is Chilli, who is left heartbroken time and again by the philandering Dallas Austin (also the group's producer). The group's anthem "Creep" appears to have been inspired by Dallas' many trysts. Actor Evan Ross isn't ultimately convincing in the role of suave player but fans of the lovelorn What Chilli Wants reality show are more than aware of the damage.

Pebbles, Super Villain
Men aside, former manager Pebbles is the focus of wrath. She’s portrayed as a parasitic thief who knowingly bilked millions from the naïve group. They sold millions of albums but were somehow left owing money. "This is how a group can sell 10 million records and be broke," Left Eye says in her famous mathematical breakdown of how Pebbles and company allegedly misappropriated funds. The real Pebbles was remarkably mum online while the movie aired but her children with label executive L.A. Reid were less diplomatic. "I don't like the way they portrayed my mom in that movie," Aaron Reid tweeted, while sister Ashley Reid blasted critics on her timeline. "When will people realize that a movie is a MOVIE? Not truth. This is not a true story. It's meant to entertain."

Crazy Is as Crazy Does
After Left Eye died in a car accident in 2002, TLC struggled to move on. The film ends with T-Boz and Chilli sharing memories of their fallen sister with fans after the tragedy. "Lisa wasn't crazy. She was crazy creative," says T-Boz. "She had such a big heart. She loved people the way she wanted to be loved." The past then turns to present. The real T-Boz and Chilli appear onscreen recording their comeback single "Meant to Be" with Ne-Yo. The tumultuous journey over, TLC is ready for a fresh start.

Sister Of Late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Not Happy About TLC Biopic

Hot 90′s R&B group TLC’s long awaited biopic that aired on VH1 last week may have been drew 4.5 million viewers, but one viewer that was unhappy about the movie was Reigndrop Lopes — Lisa “LeftEye” Lopes’ younger sister.

As the unofficial spokesperson for the Lopes family, Reigndrop has been vocal about her family’s exclusion from the making of the ‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.’

“It would have been nice if Lisa’s family would have been invited to take part in this journey of making the TLC movie. Honestly, I think it would have added depth to Lisa’s on screen character.”

“We live in Atlanta, the movie [was] being shot in Atlanta, everyone we know is in the movie except for us. Lisa’s family was the only people not involved in the movie and not invited to the set.”

She also adds that the depiction of Left Eye was inaccurate in specific scenes.

“It’s a movie. It’s never gonna be 100 percent accurate and I know this, my family knows this…It’s about a person’s character,” she said. “[When] they were doing the Creep video…they have Lisa putting black tape over her mouth because she can’t get her way. Now, she did put black tape over her mouth but it wasn’t because she couldn’t get her way. It was because she didn’t believe in the message behind the Creep video. She didn’t believe in telling people to cheat on their mates.”

Though Reigndrop had some negative thoughts of the film, she made sure she expressed her positive thoughts about Lil’ Mama’s portrayal of her sister, which brought her to tears.

Reigndrop is an artist and self proclaimed “1st Lady of Hip Rock”. She is featured on Left Eye’s Album ‘Eye Legacy’. Featured songs include: “Neva Will Eye Eva” and “Crank It.”

Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes Killed In Car Accident

Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, the most flamboyant and outspoken member of the multiplatinum trio TLC, has died, according to a spokesperson for the group's label, Arista Records. Lopes was 30.

"We had all grown up together and were as close as a family. Today we have truly lost our sister," Lopes' TLC partners Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas said in a statement.

Friday afternoon (April 26) on MTV's "TRL," the audibly distraught ladies phoned in, saying, "Lisa had one of the biggest hearts of anybody we've ever known. She did charity work with kids for the lupus disease. She adopted a little girl named Snow. ... Lisa could do anything she put her mind to."

"No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss," Arista CEO L.A. Reid said in a statement. "Lisa was not only a gifted and talented musical inspiration, but more importantly, she was like a daughter to me. My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa's family and friends. Her legacy will be remembered forever."

On Friday morning Lopes' personal publicist released details about the tragedy. Left Eye went down to Honduras — where she would often visit — on March 20 and was scheduled to return to the States on Sunday. While there, she was volunteering at a children's development center and at the Usha Herbal Resource Institute, an herbal healing center.

Left Eye was driving a rented Mitsubishi Montero SUV and traveling from La Ceiba to San Pedro Sula. According to her spokesperson, a three-person group called Egypt, her brother, sister and two producers were in the vehicle with her. The spokesperson said the SUV tipped over and Left Eye died after sustaining a blow to the head.

According to authorities in Jutiapa, Lopes was not licensed to drive internationally and was apparently speeding and lost control. The car crashed in Roma, which is one of Jutiapa's provinces.

Everyone was taken to the Vicente D'Antoni hospital in La Ceiba and, according to that medical facility, there were eight other passengers in the vehicle. Four were released, and the remaining four remain hospitalized in stable condition.

The U.S. Embassy in Honduras said it is working with the San Jose Funeral Home in La Ceiba and the Lopes family to make arrangements for the body to be flown back to Atlanta. No funeral plans have been made yet.

 

As for the musical projects Left Eye was involved with, TLC were working on an album, and at least four tracks have been completed. Left Eye had been in the studio working on a track with David Bowie and had hoped to do a song with Eve and Pink based on the theme of Philly pride, Lopes' spokesperson said.

Born in Philadelphia, Left Eye later moved to Atlanta, where she formed TLC with Watkins and Thomas. The trio's 1992 debut LP, Ooooooohhh ... On the TLC Tip, spawned the top 10 hits "Baby-Baby-Baby," "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" and "What About Your Friends."
