Looks like T-Boz & Chilli are stirring up a bit of a controversy with the idea of releasing a 20th anniversary remake for their hit song Waterfalls minus Left Eyes’s rap. The rappers verse has been replaced by a Japanese pop artist by the name of Namie Amuro. To say the least TLC fans are not to happy about taking the rapper off the track.
Left Eye’s sister Reigndrop Lopes displayed her disappointment saying once again she was not informed that the girls were doing a remake sans Left Eye.
I did not know about it until a fan posted it online. I mean it would have been nice if they would have given us a heads up before being surprised.
T-Boz and Chilli spoke out about the remake and revealed that it was their intentions to drop Left Eye from the track but because of legal matters the duo were forced to.
We don’t own the master recording rights to Lisa’s raps on any of our music, and our requests to gain the rights so far have been denied. With the Japanese anniversary edition, we were forced to use creative ways to honor Lisa’s memory and celebrate this milestone with our fans
Everyones favorite part of the song seemed to be Left Eye’s rap. Listen to the remake below
