Lisa's part hit me the most she always went straight to the point and didn't sugar coat it R.I.P Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes

[@CassieJazz96]

[@CassieJazz96]

Exactly all this hate and jealously among black females today isn't necessary.We have to stick together and empower each other. Life is too short to waste our energy on hate and envy.

i can see her freestyling to this

[@2koolken]

#LaurynHill was a relative unknown in the music world back then (in 1995). Although, she may have been more known as an actress (or the little girl who got booed on {Showtime at the Apollo}), most people didn't know she made music even though she released an album with her group #Refugees , later known as The #Fugees . It was until a year or less later that she (with her group) achieved her breakthrough.
