right we stannnnn although i wasnt here for her legacy

@@Bonniebelle_00__: I’m sorry you missed it. However, all the girls BITE off of Aaliyah’s swag. Her influence and presence is still here and very strong.

Dam 20yrs Hard to believe she'll be 42 43 right now

@@GoldenGraham25 It's a combination of Aaliyah, Lil Kim/Trina, and literal adult pornography. That's the combination that most females (Black American in particular) in the modern music industry are made of...

*She was taken out by the elites. It's messed up and it's going to continue happening with other artist if people keep supporting those big labels*

Right it was already #1 when her music got leaked on Apple Music!

You have no idea what a fact is do you.

@@chrisrenoir That's really just a very likely prediction. One time her music leaked on iTunes and charted even for the brief time it was available.

@@XxQueenChristinaxX - how is cheating for a brief time breaking any records? Literally hundreds of thousands of songs have charted briefly. Be specific. What records are you certain to a fact she will break? I can’t think of any.

her songs are on spitufy

periodt 💅🏽. both queens of R&B

I hate when people say “Beyoncé wouldn’t be famous if she was still alive....” I’m like Beyoncé was already famous when Aaliyah was still alive.... There’s no need to bring down Beyoncé to honor Aaliyahs legacy. I always hated when people said that.

Thank you

@@alvaro9289 very that. they also loved each other so it’s pointless

Oh, they know. Especially HER.... she studies the greats. And Jhene is at least 35, she’s aware of Aaliyah’s legacy. I’m 32 and I still remember the impact of her life and the shock of her death. I remember going to school the next day and it was silent. Everyone was so sad.

Selenas dad is just greedy, that’s why. He sued Selena’s husband, and He’s not even allowed to work on any projects about Selena. Extremely sad, because Selena loved Him so much, I can imagine her being hurt how they’re treating Chris.

I agree

Thats sick

@orenji jusu It's not speculation. He legit said it. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8umbN1-ztuWlqM.html Also, I respect the fact that he didnt act on those feelings and decided to be her "big brother", but I'm just saying it's a little creepy and obsessive to marry someone that looks like your minor aged muse.

@orenji jusu speculation where? Those words came out of Timbaland's own mouth. Y'all constantly defending the lowest of the low.

Pretty much.

For what he sold her to him nothing new

@@I_Love_my_adblock4408 hello

Brandy was 14 when she started her career. I get the impression that it was acceptable in the industry. I think Aretha Franklin was that age too.

@@sweetlikeme hello

She will be if no one will ever have access to her music. People our age will never forget her, but how will her music last if you can't listen to it anywhere? Haha

She's like Marilyn Monroe, death makes people over estimate what she'd have been. Brandy was the biggest artist at that time, had the vocals and even a bigger acting career. Where is she now?? Longevity is very rare and comes only by grace. We don't know if she'd have become like Missy, Lauryn Hill, Ciara, Kelis, Amerie, Monica, Brandy, Blue Cantrell and all our other faves who couldn't succeed at same levels forever.

@@jakestroll6518 I love Brandy and she is incredibly talented but by the time the new millennium rolled in, her career was fading. Brandy was mostly more successful than Aaliyah in the 90s, but after Brandy had success with Never Say Never, her career was slowly going down into the 2000s. Aaliyah was the complete opposite, Try Again became a massive hit in 2000 and Aaliyah was becoming huge in the early 2000s, while Brandy was fading. After Aaliyah's death, Brandy and Monica faded. Aaliyah was going to rule the 2000s, as much as I love Brandy and Monica, there's no doubt Aaliyah would have had longevity. Her music revolutionized R&B and influenced pretty much all of the artists you mentioned. The legendary Janet Jackson also loved Aaliyah, and the two were planning to collaborate right before her passing. That song alone would have dominated and obliterated everything in it's path once it came out. Whitney Houston also loved Aaliyah and praised her voice. She was special, One in a million, she definitely would have dominated the 2000s.

@@guitar_roker3590 and then would fade away like most of r&b artists.

I saw a channel that upped the resolution into HD quality in my recommended they looked so good!

Her channel is not official

@@User-jd9ut Fans did those not her official estate

And the channel is FAN MADE it isn't even her real channel 😭. It's clear her fans are her state

@@User-jd9ut Its swaYZY and his 4k renders of Aaliyahs and some other older music videos is so good!! The difference is night and day especially since the better quality really helps show how gorgeous she was

who her long name ik who that is though good thing for culture analysis that should be his next video. honestly, if he got skills I wouldn't mind investing or helping with videos honestly

ngl i dont think them treating Aaliyah like Selena would be a good thing cause honestly it seems like theyre exploiting Selena, like they cant just let her rest in peace

Selena's estate is exploitative and dismissive of her widower

I can and it would be a flash in the pan.

I agree I heard Aaliyah wanted to leave the label because of lack of promotion and her uncle stealing. Dame and Jay Z were gonna put her on rockafella she had the chain and all

👏🏽 Yes! She worked so hard and deserves it!

I have seen your videos. They are very informative. Thanks for helping to keep her memory alive. Imo, she could never be forgotten. She's truly one in a million.

@@msoddballz5763 Thank You!!!

It’s only occurring to me how old I am now that I can’t understand how no one has ever heard of her

Amen Tony 🙏🏾

Unlike other artists that had the same skin tone as her.

@@KadeSutherland what has skin color to do with this…

Pretty much.

@kitten blossom In my opinion anything you can vibe to regardless of when it came out and the age of who is listening is something that will NEVER age. That’s why a lot of artist from yesteryear are still popular amongst all generations because they created music that is timeless. Everyday more people are discovering music from before their time and it’s beautiful!

@kitten blossom they don’t at least know her from queen of the damned ?

@kitten blossom how old are you? are you black? i ask this because any black 20 something year old knows Aaliyah. her style and music is still so influential. especially now with the revival of y2k fashion and aesthetics, Aaliyah is very relevant.

@@imParisthoee the kids that wear y2k fashion nowadays do not know about Aaliyah it’s not about being black. Some people just aren’t cultured 🤷🏾‍♀️

R Kelly is a creep

there's more to her story she was a solid woman and I won't like let him taint her allow her feelings to shine through I think that's what she would want

One thing I always hear about Aaliyah from people is that when they found out about her passing they cried like they lost a family member.

Yes everyone was being creepy she was still a baby damn 22 is young as shit

Wow I wasn’t aware that is such a shame for both queens I love their music and always wondered why I could never stream the original songs and why only the recent remakes of them were the only song available ( jojo)

Her uncle also said said the day he signed Jojo Aaliyah told him she had a gift for it and it was in fact Jojo. I agree if she sent her to him why did he do Jojo so wrong? She literally could of been a legend and dominated R&B

@@cherishxoxo2738 Thankfully, Jojo was able to re-record her first two albums once she signed to her record label that is under Warner Record.

She actually died right after she finished filming "Rock Your Boat" the small plane that she was on crashed shortly after takeoff and I remember all my friends and me in school the next day were all in shock and in tears crying it was so heartbreaking! 😭

It definitely seems unfair to me when someone's like is cut short at such a young age, especially when they have so much potential like Aaliyah. I remember watching/listening to that music video, I didn't realize she died right after that. 😰

@@effyrosecarmen yeah the music video almost didn't get released since it was the last footage of her alive but they decided to release it in honor of her memories. She had a bright future ahead and was suppose to star in "Matrix Reloaded" so it was all sad and unfortunate that she lost her life so soon and at only 22 years old! 😭

@@flyany6682 I completely agree.

@la slasher de Sevilla she was a child. she didn’t love him. she was groomed.

@Cɪᴇɴᴛᴏ ᴠᴇɪɴᴛᴇ ᴋɪʟᴏs um no, thats manipulation. You're a whole ass man preying on a young girl... her mind and thoughts weren't even developed then. Do you know how easily influenced KIDS are at that age?

And people call beyonce an iconic (SMH AF!)

@@KadeSutherland What does this have to do with Beyonce?

@@KadeSutherland dude two artists, two legacies of their own. This has nothing to do with Beyoncé, so why bring her up?

@@esperanzarobertson4823 thank you stop comparing it to beyoncé beyoncé is so different compared to Aaliyah stop lol

Gaga dropped the Kelly version of DWUW when the allegations came out and the Xtina duet is the only one available on streaming services. All these people dropping Kelly collabs but his behaviour was known for years by pretty much everyone. Unbelievable!

@@Krees82 That’s very true. His allegations were known from almost everyone when Aaliyah’s first album came out. I think that album title was a obvious clue.🅿️

@@Krees82 I am kind of like "like they did not know what a jerk he was". I mean, they still worked with him and definitelly knew stuff....

@@Krees82 not to mention how the video remains lost because of the accusations about Terry Richardson, which have been quickly forgotten

@@Krees82: The allegations started in the late 90s and early 00s. There is no excuse for working with him later.

It's dark story. They got married because she got pregnant by him and they didn't know what to do with that so it was advised to them to get married

@@FirstnameLastname-hm9vl i have never blamed her period, i'm her fan and i hate r kelly and music perv industry. but it really was reason why they decided get married, it was only chance to kinda save situation which was really disgusting. aalyah is a victim period

listen to Giving Up! a song she recorded for Sparkle the movie she was suppoused to starr in

I really hope not 💔that would be awful...I’m thinking to myself I wonder how old is this dude is now? And how can he sleep at night knowing he’s continuing this toxic masculinity that has tarnished her career and legacy. As the quote goes “If you love someone let them go”. How is she supposed to Rest In Peace? I wish he would let her soul be free so everyone to enjoy the music!!

Is that the same "Aaliyah's Uncle" who messed up Jojo's singing career?

@@mhey112 not only her , the same thing he’s doing with Aaliyah music he did with Toni Braxton and tank and that’s just selfish

@@oneandonlywife4 it's awful that people like him exist. I wish that the rights to their songs would land on good hands someday and bring justice to these artists. And to think that these kind of rubbish are still going on in the music industry, take Taylor Swift's case for example, saddens me that the artists behind the songs that bring me joy are suffering under oppressive demons.

I am part of the younger generation and feel fortunate to have experienced her music, in fact, her death was the first time I had any discussion about death with my parents. I too wish the younger kids can get to love her as much as we do.

no i get it

They definitely set her up...

@@ameera.abubakr period there’s actually information about what really happened that day but it’s just some details and it proves how they lied about her insisting on getting into the plane. Her uncle is an expert on making false stories he did the same to Aaliyah’s mom who’s his sibling btw and he tried to kill his ex girlfriend the same way he did to Aaliyah.

@True yes! the airline had a poor reputation for this kind of stuff

also keep in mind she was in the talks of firing her uncle and her uncle did not wanna give up his rights over her music cause that meant he'd be missing out on money

How so? I feel like not many people know who Aaliyah was.... especially this generation. I didn’t know who she was until I was 12-13 and barely started listening to her now at 16 because my mom introduced me to her. I don’t feel like it would’ve been a money thing. I believe he was a fan lol

@@mistastealyogirlll well that’s why you don’t know what you’re talkin about kids know who Aaliyah is. She’s always trending on Twitter etc.. I hear her music playing in barber shops, even clothing stores so that ain’t true. And I made sure my 9yr old niece knows who Aaliyah is so aht aht.. no need for artists she doesn’t know to be apart of her music release. Maybe like Beyoncé, missy, even Jay’z etc ppl she actually knew would make more sense. Idc that drake was fan she doesn’t know that man, so it’s make no sense to be apart of anything she has unreleased etc..

@@princeegypt6814 true but what they were saying is the truth, its mostly the older people who still aaliyah, but most of the younger generation is disconnected from Aaliyah because her music isn't on streaming platforms, her estate barely releases Aaliyah like things, and most celebrities now a days don't talk about her in a sense.

drake did it out of some weird fan shit

@@princeegypt6814 Aaliyah isn’t as mainstream as you think she is. But I understand your point of view.

Buy the cds

@@imthebest7290 well obviously yeah but I would like to listen to her while I’m on the move lol streaming services would be more convenient for everyone

It wasnt even the plane though but the pilot's fault. He wasn't properly licensed and overloaded the planes weight capacity. It's his fault. U mean well but it comes like ur blaming her in a way.

@@spacewinter I don’t think he is Blaming her. Aaliyah said herself that she felt off before that flight but went on anyways not thinking about it. It’s definitely the pilots fault for not even being licensed in the first place.

What’s her last album?

@@futuristiccat5636 i think it was self titled but i might be wrong.

@@IsaUrameshi yes your correct

It came out in 2001 months before her death.

Timbaland is one of my inspirations when it comes to producing music from Aaliyah to Björk he's a GOAT

Agreed 🌟

Right!

Oh, those are very poor examples. Exploitation of legacy is not handling stuff well

Me too...I was not even alive back then ...lol.......I was born in 2004 and I am one of her biggest fan...I just love love love her..

I was too young at the time I was born in 1994 but the only celebrity death I only cried over was Mac Miller because I would listen to him all the time in high school and his music touched my soul, Anyway I think if Aaliyah were still alive today idk if she would’ve adjusted to this millennial style of music her voice was too 90’s style to me think she would’ve ended up like Brandy or Monica 😬
