A mood of reflection inspired by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. This includes a selection of hers that was on an album that was not released in the States. I always wondered why? My only guess is that opinion was not the thing that hits were made of. Who knows?

+ she's a Philly native + I had a crush on her...I love her verse on Donnell Jone's "You Know What's Up." That's why it's always in the record bag.

Featuring : Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, Groove Armada, Koop, Spacek, Pete Rock, Will I. Am, D'Angelo, Raphel Saadiq, & the also unreleased for the same peculiar reasons, Q-Tip aka Kamaal The Abstract.
