They rarely saw each other in person, but they had the same hobbies and dating types (that both got them jail time).. Same everything in their homes down to the colors, listened to each other's music.. Finished each other's sentences..

both also geminis

cont'd

The reason she wanted to do this was to get TLC more publicity and get one of them money that they could split if they wanted. It'd also be a way to end the feud by having them come up with a fair winner after the fans decided who they liked best...if no one else kept bytching. Lisa was not going to lose this even without the Dallas production.. She was gonna beat them without saying one insult.. But the other two singers punked out, so she ignored the insults and just said she's disappointed because she thought it was a good idea.. Behind the scenes, they were still feuding..

More than that, she wanted them to get out of their contract with LaFace/Arista cause they were having to put up three more albums after Fanmail and they were gonna barely get paid more than before off each one. Only Dallas was making money directly and Rozonda cause they were together.. She wanted them all to find a better label and make some real money, and since they had three more albums, her idea that she got from Pac with AEOM was to release a "triple album" between her, Tionne, and Rozonda and market that as a single album to technically free themselves from LaFace in one swing.. She couldn't say this to them though because she honestly couldn't trust them at this point if she was upfront.. And they never got her true intentions.. Least not for a long time... I know this cause Rozonda was still calling her idea stupid even after she died. And Tionne never mentioned this in her book.. :mjpls:

Maybe Lisa told them and they just didn't want to admit they got fooled in public? But that makes em look even worse, so I'm just assuming Lisa never told them because she said she didn't really expect them to take her up on The Challenge...which says a lot about them, and about Lisa for letting it go after that huge opportunity got wasted. It was just those extra rude remarks that made her mad enough to fight with Tionne/Rozonda.. But they all kept the really bad fights under the rug until Tionne spilled everything in her book, that I'm sure is full of bs, and that I look at her sideways for cause she's tryna sound neutral but she's coming for Lisa and Lisa can't defend herself. I never knew Lisa to straight up lie unless she was joking, and it ain't about being a "saint" it's just about being real with people. But Tionne is different..

I love Tionne and Rozonda and got respect for all they did, but they some shady creatures.. I knew they was full of bullshyt when it came to Lisa when they said she was the most likely in the group to "creep" on a dude :comeon: and had her as Lil Mama acting a straight bytch in the biopic.. Had to watch how the biopic fans started saying 11 years after her death that she was responsible for the Fanmail Tour ending cause she wanted more money.. That she taped her mouth like a damn idiot on the set of Creep.. Neither which was true... in fact Tionne, Lisa AND Rozonda was talkin bout how they had to cancel the Fanmail Tour over Tionne's pregnancy/sickle cell acting up..

And Lisa wanted them to go about budgeting the Tour a different way cause they were losing thousands each performance with the expenses, but she never said she wanted to quit.. she said she was down to keep going, obviously she planned it for the fans.. She planned the whole fukking album, but they shaded her over and over after the accident.. I don't know how Raina still puts up with it, but she's got mad tolerance just like Lisa and they only come out and clear things up when they get asked or feel they really have to :manny:

TBoz and Chilli have been some straight weirdos over the past couple of years. I remember the interview a couple years ago too where they said Lisa was the most likely to "creep" on a dude. I do agree she was maybe the most promiscuous of the three, maybe even more than Chilli but that was out of line with her being dead. At least say it in private not around an interviewer.

I also definitely think Lisa was more of a shrewd businesswomen than the other two. you could see it too before she died. she was the one making all these business moves and running her own label.

Rozanda and Tionne still bringing up Pebbles 25 years later

and i hate how Tionne especially is MAD COCKY about their legacy. They need to remember they had a great songwriters and producersin BabyFace, Lisa , Dallas Austin and others ....same way Janet had Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

But Tionne every damn year and even the casual observer will notice she always bragging about how TLC is so amazing and influential and how they did it all keeping their clothes on...this is the same thing she says every year. feels themselves way too much. chilli does it too.

and i feel like they ain't close to other artists in the industry.

Since i'm here i'll add in my thoughts too. First of all i assume you aren't close close to the family or anything and your simply a big fan. Ain't no harm in that. I assume you just read up on that TLCArmy website alot and the other tlc site over the years and you memorized alot of stuff as a fan.

a couple things i wanna ask you though.

since we speaking on her thoughts on numerology and everything, i noticed one thing you didn't mention was her sign. do you follow that or believe in it? because man if there is someone that fits a Gemini to the T it was her. Speaking of Pac she did an interview speaking on him and saying how they are both Geminis and it was like four people in a room...that is one i always remember...

Maybe discuss Lisa's strong focused businessmind in comparison to Tboz and Chilli...alot of people don't know about that...

I always say next to Lauryn, Lisa is one of the more tragic stories of a female rapper in history. Because Lisa was on of the few mainstream that more times than not wrote her rhymes. If she didn't it was on very rare occasions like the donnel jones song. but imagine her getting proper support for a solo rap album. already had a head start with her coming out of a high selling group

and on a random sidenote i have often said personality wise Riri reminds me of Lisa...not music wise or anything i'm talking personality. Riri is the same age Lisa was when she died by the way and recently i have felt that like Lisa i can't see her living long. Like i can see an accident the same way idk...

But what i mean is the "wild, crazy" personality that they get and have gotten from the start especially in relation to domestic violence both experienced. But then both if you read their magazine or tv interviews you see how they are very well spoken and seem almost philosophical/cerebral with what they discuss. I could find a couple quotes between the two that says what i'm talking about exactly.

What do you mean by a fling? They never "dated" is what people say but that word means different things to different people..

TBoz never got involved with Suge tho...lol she did not like the dude......from what I know but maybe you know something I don't? Care to elaborate on this a little? :sas1:


Far as I know, Lisa didn't date more than one person at the same time. She was against that.. However Pac and her never had a fling, Pac told her over the phone the first time they spoke not to have any sort of relationship with him.. And she wanted to anyway but she respected what he said, and also always got too nervous to tell him how she really felt about him. She said this herself, but Pac was probably the same way and that's why he friendzoned her

NFL yeah, Andre got on edge any time he saw her with a dude who wasn't him.. Him and Pac knew each other so he didn't fight with Pac though, otherwise he started getting aggressive towards mostly her because she was never actually with any other dudes while she was with him

Was Can U Get Away really about her?

It was about Monie Love actually supposedly. I used to think it was Left Eye for the longest too. Apparently Pac didn't feel Left Eye like that. Cause of the quirkyness/tomboy thing. Yeah Jada Pinkett was the same way but i guess its because he grew up with her plus even with being a tomboy Jada still dressed up feminine and Lisa could be here or there.

Lisa was around Pac a couple times though.

She was in the Studio when Pac was recording Hit Em Up.

EDI Mean said on Vlad a couple years ago that Left Eye was in the studio

Also went to his house before

and BTW......Rison wasn't the only famous person who's house she set on fire.
:ehh:

You a fanboy or some shyt?
Yes.

But you ain't gettin repped for that question :umad:

Was Can U Get Away really about her?
Not to cop out but I know more about Lisa's personal life than from Pac's angle.. Far as I know he never admitted it, but the fans on both ends will say yeah.. Not tryna steer you wrong though

What you can tell is the song wasn't directly referencing her.. Pac never saw Lisa wearing glasses besides that TLC gimmick

First bars...

Ever since I met ya I could peep the pressure
It's like ya man don't understand

All he does is stress ya

He met Lisa several months before she met Andre Rison.. But at the point he wrote this song, I'm assuming he was readin the shyt they was gettin into and that was inspiration for whoever it was about.. It was in the papers and even on national TV and radio.. HoodAffairs

TBoz and Chilli have been some straight weirdos over the past couple of years. I remember the interview a couple years ago too where they said Lisa was the most likely to "creep" on a dude. I do agree she was maybe the most promiscuous of the three, maybe even more than Chilli but that was out of line with her being dead. At least say it in private not around an interviewer.

I also definitely think Lisa was more of a shrewd businesswomen than the other two. you could see it too before she died. she was the one making all these business moves and running her own label.

Rozanda and Tionne still bringing up Pebbles 25 years later

and i hate how Tionne especially is MAD COCKY about their legacy. They need to remember they had a great songwriters and producersin BabyFace, Lisa , Dallas Austin and others ....same way Janet had Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

But Tionne every damn year and even the casual observer will notice she always bragging about how TLC is so amazing and influential and how they did it all keeping their clothes on...this is the same thing she says every year. feels themselves way too much. chilli does it too.

and i feel like they ain't close to other artists in the industry.
I wanna say like they was joking when they said she be creepin.. Like they were tryna feel better about things, but then they ain't indicate it in any way. So iono I can't come at them too hard for that but that biopic shyt was :picard:

Lisa viewed sex as different than Tionno/Rozonda.. The other two viewed it as some sacred sanctified shyt and Lisa just saw it as what it was, like dudes do... Funny because they all fukked but only Tionne ever "creeped" (what I know anyway, Idk Rozonda like that)..

Shyt Lisa's first business was in '93 not many know how early she was on game.. Was doin it for free but later started getting money off acts, but she wasn't tryna be filthy rich like her own bosses or Blaque and them would be singing a different tune about her.. Her dream was literally putting on other people

Now lotta these Coli militants might call her a c00n cause she ain't just put on black people :manny:

Thing is that she was tryna get Tionne/Rozonda to be shrewd in business too cause TLC was gonna fall off eventually, but they was comfortable.. Even without TLC Lisa was gettin her name out as a solo icon though to where she was turning down million dollar deals to work on personal projects, Rozonda got off well with certain dudes and shows but Tionne was still hurting for years after TLC finally fell

Thing is neither them got any star power cause they ain't leave their comfort zone and try to expose themselves or write shyt like Lisa basically begged them to.. Now that's why they had to make up shyt about Pebbles and start ish with all these people, cause they needed sudden exposure for their biopic.. After that they was gettin some more money with Lil Mama on board but they booted her off after one bad stage like idiots would instead of training her up.. Another bridge burned, now they stuck doin' little tours again and no one checkin em

I'm not tryna hate cause they were tryna do 3D back then, but I mean that's just another formula TLC album..

Tionne/Rozonda they just got that kinda character though where they want no one standing out over them.. Lisa said in public exactly what she did after they started coming out on her.. Tionne/Rozonda responded like "she think she's all that, we all had a hand in building this she ain't do everything, I'm responsible for alotta the shyt you see here too"..

Truth be told, Tionne helped think up and write 4-5 big songs before 3D, she helped with the choreography the most, and she helped with some costume ideas...but not design.. Lisa let them all share credit for the shyt she did, and she gave Tionne/Rozonda their due credit specifically which didn't seem like much... because it wasn't much :pachaha:

Case in point the full baggy clothes.. Not just the condoms/bandaids... And the name "T-Boz and Chilli".. It was Lisa responsible for all this

Tionne/Rozonda sure ain't close to Crystal cause they made her look a fool worldwide, I know why she mad :pachaha:

Monie Love was gettin abused? :ohhh:

I actually don't like TLC discog that much :francis:

Fav album is the first, felt most authentic.. The actual MTB shyt...maybe that could've been 3D..

CrazySexy good tho. I also never went to those sites and idk what they are, but I did check Eyenetics and saved some nice shyt she had...on my hard drive that got corrupted :snoop:

That storage was getting big as fukk tho.. Maybe it had to happen cause I was becoming a legit stan..


But no, idk the family and if you want me to be really honest, I don't remember when I first heard of TLC.. I think I heard of Left Eye before any of them over some drama shyt and I identified with it.. Then I peeped she was in the drug game and rose above that and it saved me

There's more to it than that but that be the gist.. All this shyt I know, I just know... Been on her for so long, I can't tell you where I got any specific thing from about her :mjlol:



Numerology, Lisa believed in that and I did too, probably before her but not as much.. Astrology, she found it interesting but she wasn't like some people are with it, taking it too seriously and judging people based on their sign. She also didn't take it too seriously for herself or try to play up the Gemini stereotype out of TLC, but a lot of what's given for Geminis matches how she came across to people..

If Lisa said Pac and her was like having 4 people in the room, they were both lively people but Lisa got extra around Pac to try and impress him and get his attention, and Pac noticed and kept tryna gauge her and act above it out of principle and that made shyt worse cause he overacted.. So basically they were always feelin each other out and saying/doing shyt they normally wouldn't cause they were both tense around each other at any given point


All I really gotta say about Tionne/Rozonda not having good business sense is them not see through The Challenge.. Let alone everything else.. Even if they found out and wanted to stay in LaFace that means they even dumber for that, but most the fans were going back to the usual insults with Lisa after that anyway.. They didn't understand neither, and it's cause she played it off on purpose as just being mad and wanting to prove herself as a soloist

Dumb to fall for that since she was already making a solo CD anyway, but you said you think Rihanna's gonna die around Lisa's age? Lisa's mentality was always "would rather not but if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die".. It's not really anything you can predict, you never know your time and Lisa died strictly cause of factors she couldn't have predicted.. If Rihanna dies young by accident, it was just meant to be regardless :mjcry:

Thats the video where Lisa makes that quote about Pac. You never saw it?



Yeah i get that feeling about Rihanna. She is like a mix of Aaliyah and Left Eye to me personality wise. Like a fusion of their personalities.

When Lisa died she was peaking with the business moves. Although for all we know maybe if she continued to be with Death Row and Suge she would have had money issues like others did. But i mean overall in that time period people look at the Honduras thing but forget the business savy. And Rihanna like Lisa has always been businessminded from the start. Both of them had slipups earlier on when they were young. Rihanna with her accountant and Left Eye along with the rest of TLC with the label itself. Ironically both situations was related to LA Reid because they were signed to him at the time :mjpls: but both learned fast as hell and got extra smart with it.

The issues with their fathers and abuse in relationships. Now that isn't a reason at all for why i think she will die young. I just get a feeling

Bahamas(Aaliyah plane crash) Honduras(Left Eye car crash) Barbados(Rihanna? Her Home) #Conspiracy :mjcry:
