recently i read some random last.fm user claiming that the baby sample on "are you that somebody" was from a home video of aaliyah herself at 18 months. i hope that's true!

Pulled out the final s/t album the other day and daaaaaaaamn it's fantastic, still.

the earliest two deaths that i can remember where i was as a kid are princess diana & aaliyah

At least once a day, ILX reminds me I'm old.
Aaliyah's death seems like last week to me.

i remember exactly where i was when i found out - hmv oxford, in the dvd aisle. on the phone to a friend who also loved aaliyah. had to take a moment in a quiet corner of the shop.

I was in Germany, getting ready to leave Luebbeck to head for Luzern, Switzerland on tour with the BSO; the only people in the choir who even knew who she was were me, my wife, and a friend we'd made before joining the chorus who encouraged us to audition.

The 2004 expanded edition of Aaliyah will make my top ten of the decade. Super album.

We need her now, more than ever. 8 years and I still can't listen to "Let Me Know (At Your Best)" without tears.

OK, I'd never heard "Don't Know What To Tell Ya" before and this is pretty awesome, but it's still pretty weird to rep for a random German edition of the album with a few bonus tracks when the original LP is great as is

somehow I never heard this until a year or two ago and was totally bowled over by what an amazing talent we'd lost when I heard it

this chopped & screwed aaliyah album is incredibly bizarre, interesting, beautiful & heartbreaking -- i still listen to it from time to time

by album i mean mix
As I said on the thread over there -- my one fervent wish, beyond sympathy for all the bereaved, is that there be no horribly maudlin tribute records. "I'll Be Missing You" or "Candle in The Wind '97" were more than enough.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, August 26, 2001 12:00 AM (9 years ago) Bookmark
yeah the jay z remix of "i miss you" and the video w/ all her friends and the DMX speech at the start kinda bucked this trend. beautiful song and a sweet tribute
