Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes Killed In Car Accident
04.26.2002 3:45 AM EDT
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."

The group's hip-pop beats — provided by Jermaine Dupri and Dallas Austin — and their identifiable b-girl style captivated fans, helping the trio become instant stars. With condoms on their clothes, their hats shifted to the back and their sagging, baggy pants, TLC exuded girl-powered audacity. As the resident rapper among two singers, Left Eye immediately stood out.

Two years later, TLC proved their staying power with the blockbuster LP Crazysexycool. The group expanded its message while expanding its fanbase, offering such songs as "Creep" (exploring relationship infidelity) and "Waterfalls" (which addressed a number of society's ills).

Away from the studio, the trio brought the drama that would keep the world fixated on them. In the five years between Crazysexycool and their third LP, Fan Mail, TLC publicly quarreled amongst themselves, fought with their former manager, Pebbles, as well as their record label. They also declared bankruptcy and disclosed life-threatening illnesses, among other things. Lopes upped the controversy even further when she set fire to the home of her on-again, off-again boyfriend, football star Andre Rison, in 1994.

Throughout it all, Left Eye held her head high and spoke her mind on everything. No matter how outrageous the situation, Left Eye would seem to trump it with an even more outrageous opinion. More than any other member of the group, Left Eye became a character, and what she did offstage became just as interesting as (if not more interesting than) what she did onstage.

Last year, Lopes was engaged in another beef with her label when it decided not to release her long-talked about solo debut, Supernova, domestically (see "Left Eye Plans To Stream Delayed Album"). Although TLC were said to be working on the their fourth LP for months (see "Reconciled TLC Recording New Album, Solo Projects"), Lopes dropped another shocker at the beginning of this year when she announced that she had aligned herself with Suge Knight's Tha Row label. Lopes said that she would record a new solo album in Los Angeles under the name N.I.N.A. While "Nina" is slang for a 9 mm handgun, Left Eye said her Row moniker stood for "New Identity Non-Applicable" (see "Left Eye Signs With Suge Knight's Tha Row" ).

There is no word yet on how much material Left Eye recorded for her new solo album or for the next TLC project, or what plans (if any) there are for the release of those albums.

For a look back at TLC and how they worked together on the road, check out "TLC & Christina Aguilera: Together On Tour" and "TLC: Tour Talk" in the MTV News Archive.

TLC were one of the biggest-selling female R&B groups of all time, riding a blend of pop, hip-hop, and urban soul to superstardom during the '90s.
Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas managed to appeal equally to pop and R&B audiences, blending catchy hooks and bouncy funk with a sassy, sexy attitude. Initially, their image was equal parts style and spirit, bolstered by a flamboyant, outrageous wardrobe. As time passed, they became equally well known for their chaotic personal lives, leaving a trail of headlines that read like a soap opera plot: arson, rehab, bankruptcy, serious illness, high-profile romances, and countless intragroup squabbles. After their star-making second album, CrazySexyCool, TLC fell into disarray, taking over four years to record the follow-up, Fanmail; even so, they returned more popular than ever, and the hits kept on coming. Unfortunately, tragedy struck in early 2002, when Lopes was killed in a car accident in Honduras.
TLC were formed in Atlanta, GA, in 1991, when Watkins and Lopes decided to split off from another all-female group. In short order, they met Thomas, locally based producer Dallas Austin, and '80s R&B singer Pebbles, who became their manager. They quickly scored a record deal with L.A. Reid and Babyface's new label, LaFace, and in 1992 issued their new jack-styled debut album, Ooooooohhh...On the TLC Tip. The video for the sexy, aggressive lead single, "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg," established their quirky, colorful fashion sense, and true to her nickname, Lopes stirred some attention by wearing a condom over her left eye to promote safe sex. The song became a Top Ten hit as did its follow-ups, the ballad "Baby-Baby-Baby" (a number two hit) and "What About Your Friends." TLC were definitely a success, but they weren't quite stars yet, and it remained to be seen whether they could maintain their momentum over the long haul.
Not long before the release of their second album in late 1994, Lisa Lopes was arrested on arson charges. In an alcohol-fueled fit of rage, Lopes vented all the frustrations from her often-stormy relationship with NFL wide receiver Andre Rison, burning his Atlanta mansion to the ground and vandalizing several of his cars. Lopes' lawyers claimed that she had a drinking problem, and while Lopes herself wasn't happy with that defense, she avoided jail time with a sentence of five years' probation; she was also later admitted to an alcohol rehab program. All the publicity certainly didn't hurt CrazySexyCool, which became a blockbuster success, albeit for other reasons. Taking a cue from Salt-n-Pepa's makeover on Very Necessary, CrazySexyCool toned down the boisterousness of their first record in favor of a smoother, more mature presentation; they were still strong and sexual, but now fully adult as well, and were more involved (especially Lopes) in crafting their own material. The slinky lead single, "Creep," became TLC's first number one pop hit, topping the charts for four weeks. It was followed by three more Top Five singles: "Red Light Special," "Waterfalls" (which became their biggest hit ever, spending seven weeks at number one), and "Diggin' on You." TLC were a bona fide phenomenon, and their stylish videos and live performances kept upping the ante for outrageous fashion sense. CrazySexyCool eventually sold over 11 million copies in the U.S. alone, and won a Grammy for Best R&B Album.
All was not well, however. In 1995, TLC filed for bankruptcy, claiming debts of over 3.5 million dollars, in part stemming from Lopes' insurance payments over the arson incident. They also claimed they hadn't seen their fair share of royalties from CrazySexyCool; LaFace countered that they were simply trying to get a bigger contract. TLC did wind up splitting from Pebbles' management company over the money issues (not helped by the fact that Pebbles' marriage to LaFace head L.A. Reid had gone through a nasty breakup). What was more, it was announced that for some time Watkins had been battling sickle cell anemia, which sapped her energy and often made performing difficult. TLC spent much of 1996 getting their financial affairs in order, and were set to re-enter the studio in the summer of 1997. The sessions had trouble getting off the ground, though, thanks to the group's public spat with producer Dallas Austin, claiming that his fee was far too high; not only had Austin played a significant role in the creation of their music, but the split was all the more awkward because he and Thomas had just had a son together. It took until early 1998 to finally resolve the producer situation, and Austin wound up handling the vast majority of the record. Still, it took quite some time to put together; Lopes announced in the summer of 1998 that she was working on a solo record, and Watkins tried her hand at acting with an appearance in the Hype Williams-directed Belly. All the delays, tension, and side projects fueled rumors of the group's impending breakup.
TLC's third album was finally released at the beginning of 1999. The hotly anticipated Fanmail debuted at number one, and its first single, "No Scrubs" -- a dismissal of men who didn't measure up -- topped the charts as well for four weeks. The critically acclaimed follow-up, "Unpretty," tackled unrealistic beauty standards and spent three weeks at number one. Fanmail wound up going six times platinum, and won another Best R&B Album Grammy. As TLC prepared to tour in late 1999, tensions between the individual members spilled over into a public feud; Watkins and Thomas criticized Lopes for putting herself before the group, and Lopes responded by blasting TLC's recent music and challenging her bandmates to record solo albums, so that fans could see who the real talent lay with. The blowup was only temporary, but rumors about TLC's future continued to swirl. Lopes continued to publicize her upcoming solo project, and Thomas eventually began working on her own album as well. Watkins married rapper Mack 10 in the summer of 2000 and had their first child not long after. Meanwhile, tabloid favorite Lopes continued to make headlines when she disappeared for over a week, missing a family function and a press conference (she turned out to be with a new boyfriend).
In 2001, TLC somehow managed to regroup and enter the studio together to work on material for a new album. That summer, a report surfaced that Lopes had postponed a wedding with, of all people, Andre Rison. Meanwhile, her solo debut, Supernova, was scheduled for release and then scrapped on several occasions; it eventually came out overseas, but domestically Arista pulled the plug. Meanwhile, TLC's recording halted while Watkins was hospitalized from complications with her anemia. At the beginning of 2002, Lopes announced that she had signed a solo deal with the infamous Suge Knight's new label Tha Row, for which she would begin recording a follow-up to the unreleased Supernova under the name N.I.N.A. (New Identity Non-Applicable). Sadly, she would never get the chance. Vacationing in her favorite getaway spot, Honduras, Lopes was driving a rented SUV with at least seven (possibly eight) passengers. Reportedly speeding, she lost control of the vehicle, which flipped over; she was the only member of the party to be seriously injured, and died from severe head trauma on April 25, 2002. The surviving members of TLC announced their intention to complete the album they'd begun, though without their most vibrant character the group's long-term future remained in doubt. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

It be all good as long as you don't act childish Ca sera parfait aussi longtemps que tu n'agis pas comme un enfant
While you standin there with the Crist' in your cup Quand tu es là avec le Christ dans ta tasse
If worse come to worse keep this on the hush, uhh Si le pire est à venir continue en silence, uhh
[Hook : Notorious B. I. G. ] [Hook : Notorious B. I. G. ]
I know you seen me on the video (true) Je sais que tu m'as vu sur la vidéo (c'est vrai)
I know you heard me on the radio (true) Je sais que tu m'as entendu à la radio (c'est vrai)
But you still don't pay me no attention Mais tu ne fais toujours pas attention à moi
Listenin to what your girlfriends mention Tu écoutes tes copines qui parlent de moi
He's a slut, he's a hoe, he's a freak C'est un gars facile, c'est un play-boy, c'est un phénomène
Got a different girl every day of the week Qui sort avec une fille différente chaque jour de weekend
It's cool, not tryin to put a rush on you C'est cool, je n'essaie pas de me jeter sur toi
I had to let you know that I got a crush on you Je devais te faire savoir que j'en pince pour toi
[Verse Two : Lil' Cease] [Verset Deux : Lil' Cease]
While you tryin to catch Sea Breeze, I'm in the PV's Quand tu essaies d'attraper Sea Breeze, je discute en privé
All chrome D3's, decked out TV's Tout en 3D chromé, orné de TV
CD's with crazy bass, keep my lady laced Et des CD avec des rythmes d'enfer, je laisse ma petite fille en dentelle
Don't be fooled by the baby face Ne te fais pas avoir pas ce visage d'ange
I hope ya not, cause your thighs got me hot J'espère que non, parce que tes cuisses m'excitent
Only one plan, that's to rise to the top Seulement un plan, c'est monter jusqu'au sommet
I told you before, what I first pursued Je te l'ai dit par le passé, ce que je recherchais d'abord
I want a interlude, in the nude Je veux une interlude, tout nus
Or we tastin like food when we get in the mood Ou on y goûte comme à la nourriture quand on est dans l'ambiance
Listen girlfriend we don't mean to be rude Ecoute tu es ma copine on n'a pas l'intention d'être grossier
But anything I touch come straight to the rear Mais tout ce que je touche se met directement derrière
I take chickenheads like the Playmate Of The Year Je prends les têtes de froussards comme le Camarade De L'Année
Cause when I first met her, she had the Lex and the 'tegra Parce que la première fois que je l'ai rencontré, elle avait le Lex et le reste
Game real good, sex was even better Le jeu était vraiment bon, le sexe était encore mieux
I got it for the cheddar once I hit it in the sack J'ai compris dans la seconde dès que je me suis mis au pieu
Cause I'm Cease a. k. a. Long Dick from the back Parce que je suis Cease a. k. a. Long Dick de derrière

[Verse Three : Lil' Cease] [Verset Trois : Lil' Cease]
Yo shorty won't you go get a bag of the lethal Yo petit tu ne vas pas aller attraper une prise mortelle

You know Junior M. A. F. I. A. was just a preview Tu sais que Junior M. A. F. I. A. n'était juste qu'une avant-première
I know I had you open, so why I'ma leave you Je sais que je t'ai ouvert les yeux, alors pourquoi je te quitte
Especially when I know yo' man is fee-ble Surtout quand je sais que ton mec est faible
It's Cease Degenaro, you know how we do C'est Cease Degenaro, tu sais comment on fait
My game is tight, we do the same every night Mon jeu est serré, on fait pareil chaque soir
I'm smooth as the words that come from Frank White Je suis lisse comme les mots qui viennent de Frank White
You messin with city kings with glitzy rings Tu embêtes les rois de la ville avec tes bagues tape-à-l'oeil
That's gonna show you good time pretty thing Ca va te montrer de belles choses un bon moment
Cause you was spotted, in the club lookin exotic Parce tu as été repéré, dans le club tu semblais exotique
By somebody, short, dark and chocolate Par quelqu'un de petit, brun, et couleur chocolat
You got it ? Any plans to tape yo we stop it Pigé ? Y'a plus de plans pour t'enregistrer on arrête ca
Junior M. A. F. I. A. , yeah we all about a profit Junior M. A. F. I. A. , ce n'est que pour le profit
I'm the right dude to get you in the nice mood Je suis le bon type pour te mettre dans la bonne ambiance
Flossin rocks the size of ice cubes Je nettoie les diams au peigne fin qui ont la taille de glaçons

Chorus] :
They see me rollin,They hatin
Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty,Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty,Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
My music so loud,I'm swangin
They hopin that they gon catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty,Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty,Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
[Verse 1 - Chamillionaire]
Police think they can see me lean
I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen
When you see me ride by they can see the glean
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
Ride with a new chick, she like hold up
Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola
Turn a jacker into a coma
Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone
Just tryin to bone ain't tryin to have no babies
Rock clean itself so I pull in ladies
Laws of patrolling you know they hate me
Music turned all the way up until the maximum
I can speak for some niggas tryin to jack for some
But we packin somethin that we have and um will have a nigga locked
up in the maximum,Security cell, I'm grippin oak
Music loud and tippin slow,Twist and twistin like hit this dough
Pull up from behind and is in his throat
Windows down gotta stop pollution
CDs change niggas like who is that producing?
This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin
Got warrants in every city except Houston but I'm still ain't losin
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - Krayzie Bone]
I been drinkin and smokin holdin shit cause a brother can't focus
I gotta get to home 'fore the po po's scope this big ol Excursion
swerving all up in the curve man
Nigga been sippin on that Hennessey and the gin again is in again we
in the wind
Doin a hundred while I come from the block
And rollin another one up, we livin like we ain't givin a fuck
I got a revolver in my right hand, 40 oz on my lap freezing my balls
Roll a nigga tree, green leaves and all
Comin up pretty deep, me and my do-jo
I gotta get back to backstreets
Wanted by the six pound and I got heat glock glock shots to the block
we creep creep
Pop Pop hope cops don't see me, on a low key
With no regards for the law we dodge em like fuck em all
But I won't get caught up and brought up on charges for none of
y'all
Keep a gun in car, and a blunt to spark, but well if you want, nigga
you poppin dark
Ready or not we bust shots off in the air Krayzie Bone and
Chamillionaire
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 - Chamillionaire]
Do what you thinkin so, I tried to let you go
Turn up a blink of light and I swang it slower
A nigga upset for sure cause they think they know that they catchin
me with plenty of the drinkin drough
So they get behind me tryin to check my tags, look at my rearview and
they smilin
Thinkin they'll catch me on the wrong well keep tryin
Cause they denyin is racial profiling
Houston, TX you can check my tags
Pull me over try to check my slab
Glove compartment gotta get my cash
Cause the crooked cops try to come up fast
And been a baller that I am I talk to them, giving a damn bout not
feeling my attitude
When they realize I ain't even ridin dirty bet you'll be leavin with
an even madder mood
I'mma laugh at you then I'mma have to cruise I'm in number two on
some more DJ Screw
You can't arrest me plus you can't sue
This a message to the laws tellin them WE HATE YOU
I can't be toss or tell em that they shoulda known
Tippin down sittin crooked on my chrome
Bookin my phone tryin to find a chick I wanna bone
Like they couldn't stop me I'mma bout to pull up at your home and
it's on

[Chorus] x2

Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

Mother, mother ,There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Yah ,Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me ,So you can see ,Oh, what's going on ,What's going
Ya, what's going on ,Ah, what's going on
(Background music and conversation) ,In the mean time
Right on, baby, Right on, Right on
Mother, Mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh ;Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, ,So you can see
Oh, what's going on ,What's going on
I’ll tell you Ya, what's going on - Uh ,Ah, what's going on
Right on baby ,Right on baby

Je ne demande pas d'être drôle tous les jours
Je ne demande pas de faire la fête tous les vendredi
Je ne te demande pas non plus de revenir, me suppliant de te
Pardonner
Si tu pleures sans verser de larmes (avec les yeux secs) en
Me parlant d'elle
Aïe mon amour, cela me fait si mal
Cela me fait si mal
Que tu sois parti sans dire ou tu allais
Aïe mon amour, se fut une torture de te perdre

[Refrain] :
Je sais que je n'ai pa toujours été un sain,
Mais je je vais arranger ça mon amour
L'homme ne vit pas seulement de pain
Et moi (je ne vis) pas que d'excuses
On apprend que par ses erreurs
Et a présent je sais que mon coeur t'appartient
Mieux vaut que tu gardes tout ça
Pour un autre chien avec cet os
Et disons nous plutôt au revoir

Je ne peux demander à l'hiver qu'il pardonne à un rosier
Je ne peux demander a l'orme qu'il offre des poires
Je ne pe demander l'étérnité a un simple mortel
Et partir jeter des milliers de perles à des cochons
Aïe mon amour cela me fait si mal, cela me fait si mal
Que tu ne crois pas plus en mes promesses
Aïe mon amour
C'est une torture
De te perdre

[Refrain]

Ne te baisse pas, ne te baisse pas
Ecoute, ma petite brune, regarde, ne te dégonfle pas (ne te
Fissure pas)
Tu as mon amour du lundi au vendredi
Laisse-moi juste le samedi pour moi, c'est mieux
Ecoute ma brune, ne me punit pas plus
Parce que là-bas sans toi je ne suis pas en paix
Je suis juste un homme très repenti
Je suis comme l'oiseau qui retourne à son nid

Je sais que je n'ai pas toujours été un sain,
Mais je je vais arranger ça mon amour
L'homme ne vit pa seulement de pain
Et moi (je ne vis) pa que d'excuses
On apprend que par ses erreurs
Et à présent je sais que que mon coeur t'appartient

Aïe, Aïe, Aïe
Tout ce que j'ai fais pour toi
Ce fut une torture de te perdre
Cela me fais si mal ke ce soit ainsi
Continue de pleurer ton pardon
Maintenant je ne Vais plus pleurer... pour toi
