Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes’ Solo Album (Sort Of) to Hit Shelves
It’s a project I’d been excited about since 2001, and when the release of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes‘ solo album Supernova finally did come, it was just months prior to her fatal car crash in Central America’s Honduras. The album was never released domestically, but thanks to some creativity (or small pockets looking for a cash cow), a 12-track album Eye-Legacy (that’s the best her people could have done?) will be hitting store shelves November 11th.
The album’s first single “Let’s Just Do It” features friend and collaborator Missy Elliott, alongside the project’s other collaborators Lil’ Mama, Bobby Valentino, and Chamillionaire.
Once again– that’s the best her people could have done? Really? Give me a posthumous TLC reunion with guest vocals from T-Boz and Chili, and then I might take this seriously.
There is a collaboration between Lopes and Tupac, (the track “Legendary”) but that’s already on the album I own.
A percentage of the proceeds from the album sales will go to the Lisa Lopes Foundation and her orphanage in Honduras, according to UrbanNetwork. In April 2002, Lopes was vacationing in the Central American country when the SUV she was driving flipped over. Lopes was the only fatality among the eight passengers in the vehicle. She was 30.

[...] In other news, those calling the shots behind Lisa’s namesake are putting together a collection (or rather a re-working) of 12 tracks from her 2001 solo album release Supernova, with tracks featuring Missy Elliott, Chamillionaire, Lil’ Mama, and Bobby Valentino (that’s it?– exactly what I said). Frankly, this is some bullshit as well, because you can’t tell me bigger names wouldn’t gladly lend their talents to such an anticipated project. The album, Eye-Legacy (these uncreative douche bags couldn’t have even punned it up with Eye-Conic or anything??) will be released November 11th. [...]
