Aaliyah - Are You That Somebody? (Instrumental HD)

Taken from CD Single.

[@rolmos84]

No one else can do a song with baby sounds and still sound so cool.

[@killfacade2742]

Stevie wonder did it

[@rydercartoonanimations]

The "baby noises" come from a vinyl from the 60's called "Authentic Sound Effects - Volume 8" and the sound is labeled as "Happy Baby".

[@jeffpierce5478]

It's from an old black and white film

[@EliURBANLIFESTYLE]

[@wameezy]

I honestly believe this is one if not Timbalands best production of his entire career!!!! You could not get away from this one when it was heard on the radio there’s nothing like it!!!!

[@fated4fairweather161]

agreed, i like a ton of his stuff but this one was like his magnum opus

[@sidney7909]

One of the greatest instrumentals of all time. Timbaland is such a Grandmaster when it comes to production.

[@KainKorso]

I studied every detail of this damn beat back in the day.....shit, I still do lol

[@I777-w3e]

I love that baby sound

[@onlythemarkk]

fun fact timbaland and aaliyah created this all in one night he heard they would pay 250k and so he decided to split it with her i believe and then around 4 am it went into the mastering stages and was turned in the same day at 8 am the same day release and around 10 am it became a hit single

[@Sulyvana]

It's so sad that my favorite artist actually died before i was even born and is now longer dead than she'd been alive. I couldn't even cross her path or even go to her funeral bit I'll forever have to make my grief while enjoying the legacy she left... RIP baby girl.. the princess of RnB's reign shall last forever ! 👑💗

[@JamesBond-mc2mx]

Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well, you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough No, you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh) And I don't even need your love (ooh) But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah) No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh) Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah) I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody This would be an amazing mash up Lol😮😂

Apprently when making beats it’s a ritual and they use real babies as a sacrifice, sample and chop it up to create the beat. It’s called the Rap Sigil.
