aaliyah

tryin' to be extra extra extra smooth

This albums sounds like it was recorded on the most elegant spaceship ever.

not on spotify yet :(

You may have a wait there. The Red Album and One in a Million have been out of print in the US for years.

the red album has been out of print? wtf

since at least 2005, if not earlier.

wtf

No, it doesn't make sense.

otm

That's Blackground for you. *shrugs*

...my head hurts.

For the past 3 weeks I have been walking around singing "We Need A Resolution" to myself. I was actually hanging out w this dude I met in Portland and at one point mostly-jokingly said to him "btw I have this bad habit of just spontaneously singing Aaliyah songs at any given moment so just heads up" and then like not 5 min later I was opening a pizza to put in the oven and totally w/o realizing it got all "whass yo' prooooblem / let's resolve" under my breath.

hahaha

^The most amazing Aaliyah song I never heard before.

Ten years today.

RIP babygirl.

listening to one in a million, god i love "i gotcha back"

Hell.

I still get genuinely upset and start thinking "what if they just had a slightly different idea for that music video, what if what if" every time I think about it. But god damnit if Rock the Boat isn't the GOAT.

rock the goat, rock the goat, rock the goat, rock the goat, work the billy

rip babygirl we'll always luv u

just literally face palmed at my desk xpost

TEN YEARS AGO

last.fm'ing the hell out of her catalogue this morning

your smile
your style
is so fly
i can't deny

i was watching mtv news when they reported her death, i still remember being like "how could this HAPPEN?"

i'm devoting the better part of today to listening to her nonstop (like i need any excuse, really)

"never comin' back" <3

I know that "If Your Girl Only Knew" isn't her best song, but for most people it would be, and the fact that she eclipsed that many times over is like...ugh, you are missed girl.

hope you don't think you can throw the line over me
'cause i i know what's going on~~

ran through every song of hers i have on my ipod this morning

It's so weird that I don't remember finding out she died. It happened during a period (probably the last one) where I wasn't paying that much attention to music tho.

Like I feel like I learned of it from a classmate, but I wouldn't have been in school until at least a couple of weeks after it happened.

would have been 33 today, happy birthday

i'm listening to aaliyah and crying right now. it's mad real y'all.

hmmm

Heard it, it's rubbish

no i like that song. just unsure about this album business

yeah, i highly doubt the album will be good. "Steady Ground" is just cloying to me though

had never heard this before

had never heard this before two days ago

that jay remix was huge!

fucking terrible, son

fucking creep needs to leave aaliyah the fuck alone

^^^^^^^

wait, so what's the deal here? there's a trove of unreleased aaliyah shit and drake is gonna put it out with him rapping over it?

afaict nothing has been confirmed by her label/estate/etc. so who knows if anything's going to happen beyond this one song

in all honesty, as despicable is the thought of that would be, i might actually be ok with the idea of this if it means new aaliyah stuff. i wonder if she had any wishes wrt what she would want released if she died, or whether she even had control over that. given the nature of her death the former doesn't seem likely

yeah i definitely doubt someone that young dying that suddenly has any kind of documents stating what should be done w/ their uncompleted demos if they suddenly become valuable in the event of their death. but again SOMEBODY in her family and/or her label must have final say over these things. timbaland said he hasn't been contacted about the project but that it shouldn't be done w/o him and missy involved (which is obv true).
