AALIYAH EPK (2001)

[@james441]

She seems so much older than 22. Way ahead of her time in every way

[@RapFanatic4ever]

She had an old soul

[@Intheendeverythingisworthit]

She was really out there showing young blk girls that they didn’t have to fit in a box. She’s one of the biggest reasons I try to be original 💕

[@MsTrueTy]

I feel like that's the real beauty of who she was and why people love her. She's an original she did her own thing. Now a days originality is kind of lost. Everybody wants to look and sound the same. I hope people learn from her in that regard

[@damyanthelion]

@@MsTrueTy That’s definitely the case, Aaliyah inspired males and females alike just with her character, creative bravery and quiet confidence. She always had a sexiness but that came through more through the way she moved, it wasn’t a forced element. I’m glad new fans are finally getting access to her full artistry beyond ‘One In A Million’ and ‘Try Again’, because she was so much more than those songs. Back in the day we didn’t even really know what she looked like for most of her career. There were even rumours she had a glass eye, as her face was always concealed in some way. She wasn’t sold on her beauty, it was just a bonus. When the shades and hair were finally removed we were like “Damn, she’s gorgeous😍” and that was about 6-7 singles and features into her career lol. So to have her be reduced to an aesthetic all these years has been frustrating, Cos it aligned her with acts that are mostly that now. Her artistry was louder than her looks, she just happened to be timelessly beautiful💯

[@MsTrueTy]

@@damyanthelion Very well put. I'm happy too. I remember I always thought she was pretty but it was her energy and overall presence that hooked me.

[@Nominaze]

@@MsTrueTy This is so true!

[@Violeta-bm1tx]

Same!💞

[@lupedragon]

even though she didn't write her songs, she was part of the development of the songwriting process. and her performance of every song that was written for her was always flawless.

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

Also nobody could imitate the chemistry she had with her team in the studio. Her sound couldn't be imitated...

@@Jay-Kay-Buwembo especially static who wrote half of this album

[@xy_3671]

@@yungmiami7675 exactly thank you.

[@Aries16603]

This is Aaliyah’s best work to date. This album was just so diverse with many different genres from R&B, Trip-Hop, elements of Rock, Pop, Funk, etc. This album definitely showed growth in Aaliyah with the subject matter talking about abusive relationships, feminism, double standards (what if), etc. From start to finish, this album is a bop.

[@descg5438]

Also Soul and elements of Electronica, Middle Eastern and Latin.

[@thexaltvault]

I loved that edgy and dark side about her, I enjoy dark and edgy things as well

[@destinixshakur]

Yes

[@damyanthelion]

Me too! It’s the part of her that’s always over-looked when people talk about her. Of course Aaliyah had a sweetness but it undermines her artistry to reduce her to only that. Aaliyah was a visionary with a lot of sensuality, heart, edge and innovation, as well as being sweet. More than anything she was a risk-taker and she lead the way for her peers to be more risky💯

[@destinixshakur]

@@damyanthelion agreed . She changed the lane for r&b

[@LifeFilmz]

@@damyanthelion very well said

[@cmg2445]

It feels like 2001 all over again 🥰🥰🥰

[@queen-mg4jt]

wish it was i wish we could bring them back and get rid of alot bad people

[@RapFanatic4ever]

No hair or makeup done . Just natural beauty. Miss you Aaliyah . You were 10 months older than ma . You're Jamuary 1979 I'm November 1979 . So this one I'll never get over

[@trini2DBone134]

she actually had both done here hehe but you're still right 😊

[@WO2411]

Still got this on DVD from her CD it’s a GEM 💎

[@pigramgregory2]

Me too back in December 2002. Excellent classic double CD I Care For You. Aaliyah was on her way to the top in the music industry and an actress 😭😭😭. She was taking away too soon

[@WO2411]

@@pigramgregory2 I try not to think about it cause it really don’t make sense at all man😭 like why here she was on her way to being a icon

[@WO2411]

Shes a icon in my opinion for sure though

[@mykaelizayah2195]

She was so mature for her age and she was ready to grow even more, she would’ve been so powerful now.

[@haughtonsangel]

Aaliyah would be so proud❤️

[@tfh5575]

the way she spoke gave older than 22. so mature

[@confessionstv1948]

Are young adults supposed to speak like they are dumb?

[@louicultureee4109]

This album was her breakthrough era to International Superstardom type Umbrella for Rihanna more edgy, seductive, women empowerment. I can’t fathom Not to think if she never died Timbaland was going to keep working with her. Maybe All the Nelly Furtado hits were going to be Hers. Missy Elliot and Ciara Lose Control . Now that we know she was sedated.. it hurts so much. She REFUSED. There’s so many things that could’ve been prevented. Her original plane arrived two hours later after the accident. Like damn ..

[@destinixshakur]

Dame said that hype Williams took the private jet that Lenny kravitz sent for her . I will always look at him funny from here on out

[@DarkManX16]

It was all setup to happen like that. Sad to say

[@ashrick718]

wtf are u talking about? Her scheduled flight was for Aug 26th (the next day). They wrapped shooting earlier than scheduled so her and the others decided to leave that same day (the 25th) but could not get the plane scheduled to pick them up any earlier than planned, so Hype’s (the videos director) partner-travel agency booked that flight on that small plane. They were all expecting a larger plane to arrive.

[@destinixshakur]

@@ashrick718 that is not true. It was rumored in the industry that hype would do all the extra shit to get money this is why they shot in the Bahamas but it was mostly behind a green screen. He took the plane that was sent for Aaliyah. Kenny Kravitz sent for her to get a private plane . They packed all that equipment on there knowing it was gonna fall . Look at Alberto Clemente scenario. It’s known if you overload a plane it’s gonna fall . That’s probably why she didn’t wanna get on the plane in the first place

[@ashrick718]

@@destinixshakur I know what I’m talkin bout. Thanks. And “Loose Rap” was written and the third verse is boasting about artists and mainly producers that have been jealous of Timbaland’s and also Static’s team unique sound, because Timb really introduced a new sound to hip hop/R&B in the late 90s and had everyone wanting to work with them (Missy too). If u do thorough research Aaliyah’s flight was intended for the next day. Lenny probably suggested he’d send a flight BUT Hype booked that smaller plane for them. Might not had been purposely though. They were all pissed when the plane arrived at that private airport, and they couldn’t book anything else. Private flights are expensive.

[@thelmacarter3855]

I love Aaliyah voice she's so well spoken. I could listen to her talk all day.❤

[@RapFanatic4ever]

Me too

I love her so much she was so damn smart and creativity and of course really talented

this album is my favorite,the beat the sound is unmatched!

[@RapFanatic4ever]

Her best work was really ahead of her

[@Aries16603]

Aaliyah was executive producer for her last album. She took control like JANET JACKSON of this album and I think that’s where she drew inspiration from (hints the red album like Janet’s Control).
