Aaliyah - Loose Rap feat. Static Major (Visualizer)

[@daisylove0302]

One of the dopest tracks of the album. It has a dark and mysterious sound, but its so smooth and futuristic.

[@futuristiccat5636]

[@tykelwilliams6053]

Aaliyah allegedly wanted this to be the first single instead of WNAR but people felt it would be better to lead with a Timbaland track since coming off Try again

[@krazyfrazyJ]

RIGHT!!!

[@pawebukowski4411]

@@tykelwilliams6053 actually when Loose Rap was planned to be the lead single, WNAR was not even finished. Virgin Records wanted Timbaland instead as they thought the album didn’t have radio hits. I like WNAR much more but I think Loose Rap would’ve done better on the radio back then.

[@MERCERENiTY]

This is such a single. It would have been a hit for sure. The vibe and tempo would have been very fitting, for putting launch momentum behind the album... 💥

Wow reminds me of when we had black planet, MySpace, and virgin mobile, Nokia, prepaid phone, boostmobile walkie talkie, pay phone asking for a quarter, paper bus schedules, paper bus tickets, bus transfer paper tickets, blockbuster, early 2000 star shots mall pictures , excitment of movie theaters, excitement of your favorite artist album, waiting after 7pm or 9pm because that's when minutes were free, flip phone, razor phone. I would be lieing if I said I want to go back to that time because of the trauma I went through. But I feel like those days we appreciated simple things more.

[@StonerGirlTarot]

This track doesn't get enough recognition

[@Mrra-s9e]

I read Loose Rap was Aaliyah’s first choice for the first single but the label wanted a Timbaland produced song as the first single. I think this is a stronger song than we need a resolution. I think that they should’ve released the singles as followed: 1: Loose Rap (Spring 2001). More Than A Woman (Summer 2001/ July Album release), I Care 4 U (Late Fall 2001), Rock The Boat (Spring 2002) 5. I Can Be (Summer 2002/ Concert Video)

Is it me or does this sound like a Timbaland beat even though its not Timbaland?

Legit rollout, that would've been perfect🎯✨

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

I thought We Need a Resolution was an unusual masterpiece, really challenged the status quo & felt fresh from her and Tim sonically.

The Aaliyah album was so ahead of its time it's the best RNB album I ever heard

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

23 years later this song has finally grown on me enough to to listen to it in its full length. And my goodness the producers did a magnificent job created this beat from start to finish. And Aaliyah’s soft low singing voice singing is just the icing on the cake.

[@rioaditomo]

[@all_amira_all_day]

I do think his touch is nice because he’s apart of the industry. This is something that someone within the industry would’ve put their touch on to make it cute and creative in this manner but he needs to cut the check. At this point is anyone benefiting aside from Barry because last I checked Missy and Tim said they weren’t?

We've waited how many years for this and he finally does it just to promote his label and the new girl who he advertises as an Aaliyah wannabe, meanwhile Aaliyah's family has been trying at it for years and now they get zero credit or profit for this. Same with what he did to Jojo. I'm sorry but Barry is a greedy excuse of a man

This was one of the first songs made for this album - i guess in 1999! Back in the days I had exactly this phone - can we please go back in time - things have been better without smartphones! Computers and Laptops are (should be) enough to explore the internet in all its glory!

[@raymo0510]

Loose Rap will forever be my favorite song on the album. I’ve always loved this song. It’s so smooth, real, and authentic. Aaliyah was letting them haters know. She was like, “I see y’all. Y’all ain’t stopping nothing over here. Get yourselves together.”

[@Dr_Exum]

How can a visualizer capture the year 2001 so well??? Very well done.
