Maybe you should rename this; "Aaliyah Appreciation Thread"



Get people in here.

"Back & Forth" was ...and still is...an awesome JAM!

HuMpThAnG said:

Fucking haters, let's see you do what she did in the little time she had and have half as much impact. Losers. Why waste your time in a thread for someone you don't like?

Don't you have better things to do with your time? Or are you that uninspired and boring that the only thing you can do with yourself is critisize people who actually did something with their lives?

Congratulations, you suck at life!

Anyway,

my favorite songs of hers are One in a Million, Rock the Boat and Try Again.

Great song!

Big fan here

GangstaFam said:

My brother was a HUGE fan...so much so that his youngest daughter (born a few months after Aaliyah's death) was named Vicky Aaliyah.

PurpleJedi said:

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the vigil held outside the school she attended in Detroit the night that she died. So sad.

GangstaFam said:

Yeah, it was very sad.
Made worse by those stoopid rumors about her death and Left Eye's being linked to insurance policies.

PurpleJedi said:

Ya know, somehow all of that passed me by.

GangstaFam said:

Yeah, I remember back then something about the record label having insurance policies on them and - therefore - a conspiracy theory about the label "cashing in" on their investments. Especially Left Eye since she wasn't as "profitable" as they expected. ...or something like that. Maybe I should google it.

"I Don't Wanna" should have been released as a proper single. I love that track.

anybody know anything about the proposed 'Duets' cd they were gonna release for her?

Now this is all kinds of wrong right here

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Looks like R. Kelly on the right on his cellphone telling his homies "You wouldn't believe this 14 year old piece of ass I'm fucking right now!".

Mong said:

Ok, now THAT was all kinds of wrong

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Fuck, that shit got me laughing out loud at work now

I love Aaliyah so much!


I love her unreleased songs


Have you guys heard Steady Ground?
Its a favourite of mine. Also Static who just died on Monday can be heard in the background vocals. Its a great song.

I love her version of Giving Up that leaked in 2005 along with Steady Ground, and Where could he be, with Tweet and Missy.


Steady Ground

Giving Up

Where could he be? *lisa stansfield - been around the world.

One of my favourites from the Aaliyah album - I can be


Tell me what you think!

AlexdeParis said:

I also loved that remix for the single..

this is for the steppers
strictly for the steppers


I realize the original version is truer to the Isleys' rendition which you love, AlexdeParis....

purplesweat said:

mine too, and I will add if your girl only knew. Something about rock the boat does something for me. the video, and maybe the brightness of it. the water, the sun, the clothing I don't know what it is. the remix of at your best I liked a lot too.

Dance said:

I'm not surprised the lolita hunter clicked on this Aaliyah thread.

Mong said:

Actually, I thought that this song was SPECIFICALLY aimed at all the naysayers that frowned on her relationship (marriage?) with R. Kelly when she was just a teen?

Cinnie said:

I love both versions. In fact, I was thinking the other day about making you a mix and the Stepper's Ball Remix was definitely going on it.

AlexdeParis said:

Oh snap!

AlexdeParis said:

ooh.... I'm ready for it

Ah, my first true musical love.

Her last, self-titled effort, is the pinnacle! Her contemporary peers have yet to touch the genius of that album (although I'd say Brandy's "Afrodisiac" comes close).
