Aaliyah - Rock the Boat (Official Video) | REACTION

[@razz2552]

Aaliyah was 22 when she passed, in fact this was the last music video she did. After they wrapped up this video that's when the plane crash happened. Her self titled album was posthumous. Selena was 23 when she passed. Such young songbirds we lost to early.

[@LeVonngaKiara]

Her album was released mid July 2001. She passed a month afterwards. But this video was released after her death❤.

[@MorganR1814]

The beach scenes are real. BET actually used to have a program that was called "Access Granted" and they were on the set with Aaliyah to film the making of the "Rock The Boat" music video. The specific shot that you thought may be fake wasn't fake but filmed during the sunrise the day before Aaliyah passed away (August 24,2001). The "Access Granted" program happen to capture Aaliyah and her crew on August 25, 2001 leaving the filming location by boat before she would later board an airplane that same day (so the footage that happened to be captured by "Access Granted" on August 25, 2001 was filmed just hours before she passed away due to the plane crash). You guys could react to the making of the video if you want just search "Aaliyah Rock The Boat B.E.T Access Granted"

[@whostrue]

One of the saddest moments in history but I will say we got to see her doing what she loved in her last moments.

[@MariFenty21]

Ugh i use to cry soo hard during the access video episode because AALIYAH and her crew flew into this destination to do this video and when she did the final scene you just knew what happen afterwards 😔.. although this video was put 2nd (we need a resolution was 1st) this was the last music video she made. More than a woman was released 3rd but was already shot before Rock the boat 🙏🏾🙏🏾😔

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

It's on KZbin and Facebook now

[@missbigkim]

I came here to leave a comment but you just said it all.

[@tjallen3574]

Access granted was fire

[@xJessie181x]

Aaliyah never wore wigs lol. She wore extensions to make her hair look fuller (here and in “try again”), but her hair was naturally very long. She was known for that

[@darrenbalagot4643]

I was gonna sayyyyyy. She has a fake ass wig? Lol. Definitely rubbed me off the wrong way. I hate when people say shit they don’t know nothing about.

[@ms.one-town901]

@@darrenbalagot4643”They” always want to assume Black women can’t grown long hair. Most women I know with protective styles, natural hair is quite long!

[@au-ni6ejsas]

her influence is everywhere. an absolute force to be reckoned with even 20 years later - some of these girls still be inspired by her

[@jevonk]

I remember waking up on a Sunday morning and going to Walmart. Aaliyah’s music was playing on every radio station I turned to. I thought maybe it was her birthday and then I heard the announcer say she had died in a plane crash the evening before and it just broke my heart. I was in a state of disbelief. I tried shopping for a few things but I wandered around the store in shock. I couldn’t even purchase anything and just went home and cried for days. Aaliyah’s career had started skyrocketing. I enjoyed her film roles and knew she would only get better and blossom into a full on international star. A beautiful soul gone too soon.

[@georgiabulldog7671]

My roommate woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me. I was devastated. Still hurts to her today.

[@2WarriorJay8]

She died right after filming wrapped for this video, literally capturing her final days. At least she was in a beautiful place making beautiful art.

[@CGPOPPOOP]

Yeah she died flying back home from the Bahamas from filming this video. The beach scenes weren't actually fake. These clips are literally the last of her alive.

[@Popculture90s]

Aaliyah passed away when she was 22 years old & Selena passed away at the age of 23 legends gone too soon but never forgotten

[@sydneybaldwin3514]

It was the saddest day when she died. The Aaliyah album had only just come out, I still cannot believe it happened. This video is beautiful and sad as it’s the last footage of her alive. Rest in peace Aaliyah

[@annieschmannie8962]

That beach scene is extremely real yall😂😂the only green screen is when she was dancing in that white shirt and jeans

[@17dredre91]

Lol you can tell they too young to know

[@theartsyzoologist]

Still as hauntingly beautiful as the first day I saw it. Such a bittersweet final gift she gave to the world before her passing. Carmit from the Pussycat Dolls is a dancer in the video (Red hair) she posted her recollection of the final day of filming and how “Family oriented” Aaliyah made the entire crew feel, it was somewhat a calm before a tragic storm. So glad that we have so many artists trying to keep Aaliyahs legacy alive to this day. Her death definitely messed a few of us kids up, as she was this super talented icon on the rise, she didn’t even get to hit her full potential. If she were still here today, she would have dominated the industry, in my personal opinion anyways. You should react to “Are you that somebody”

[@markk4473]

Oh! I never knew about carmit from pcd as 1 of dancer until u mention. I can now see/ notice her.

[@Dexoshay]

Aaliyah was 22 and Selena was 23 when they passed away both legends!

[@steviesbeauty50]

Beach scenes are real, boat scene is real, and the label that jojo was on was the same label Aaliyah was apart of. It was owned by her uncle and he created it because Aaliyah was only like 13, 14 when she started and no label knew how to market her cuz she always sang so mature.

[@dovemendez3132]

The song the video is a 10 out of 10 Aaliyah looks so beautiful may her beautiful soul rest in peace along with the other eight people who perished with her and she got a lot accomplished in her short life span😭😭👏🏿👏🏿

[@ezelldaniels6064]

This was so timeless. Glad yall reacted to it. RIH AALIYAH. And yes aaliyah got a lot done she started singing at 14 when her first album dropped in 1994

[@brycecrisos]

Everything that you seen is all real besides the wave scene (white top & blue shorts) but other than that the boat , sand scenes & the swimming scene was ALL real .. love the reaction 🤍

[@caycecm02]

Her estate (parents and brother) were in a battle with her label (her uncle) which is why her music hasn’t been available until now. This was her last video filmed in The Bahamas and her plane crashed when leaving the Bahamas. This was 2001 so it was early 2000’s. She was 22 when she was killed.

[@Fordriasdance]

Yall make me feel old. I remember the day this video came out.

[@markk4473]

Aaliyah - are you that somebody, was the 1st song i ever bought. Her timbaland and missy made great songs

[@kheirfrancis22]

Bout time yall came back, missed you two. And thanks for the Aaliyah video, you don't know how much of a influence she was while she here

[@gedobean5267]

Aaliyah was one of the biggest r&b artist before she died. She didnt have bad representation! At all. She was also becoming a movie star. She was not represented by white platforms like MTV, VMAs...she was Britney before Britney yet was not respected as such by those particular platforms that haulted her from international. Her death made her more known with white ppl, not blacks. Thats like if Beyonce passed away in 2008..you will have looked back and realized all of her concerts were full of "people of color".

[@Milamilas]

I was probably 8 years when she died and I'm from South Africa.I only heard she had died when I was 17 years but for some reason whenever I see or listen to her music/videos it makes me sad.she was real beautiful and seeing her work I think she would've done even bigger things had she not died.A legend in my eyes

[@preciousinterludes]

React to Aaliyah-We Need A Resolution

[@LoveBryan86]

That was my favorite from her...she was so sexy in that video

[@ashrick718]

the scene on the boat (catamaran) was the first scene of the music video but was actually the last scene shot.. she passed that same day, later that evening.

[@yami3960]

I see yall back to being respectful to the art again! Great reaction!

[@deesee3622]

HYpe Williams directed this; she was 22; they were in the bahamas here, she died right after filming this

[@Nfeeling]

Selena got murdered at 23, not 25. But yes, Aaliyah definitely got a whole lot done at such a young age 🔥 RIP to her :(

[@Hazeleyes_SM37]

Just an amazing artist and I am sooo glad her uncle’s label company is releasing her catalog of albums. I pre-ordered ALL of them. And yes she accomplished so much, what sucked even more is that she was finishing filming Queen of the Damned and had signed on to be in The Matrix sequels around the time of her passing, then the roles ended up going to Jada Pinkett Smith. Great reaction gentlemen.

[@neil_0]

I believe her role in the Matrix movies was that of Zee which was replaced by Nona Gaye because she hadn’t finished filming some very key scenes. I think her role would have been bigger had she not passed.

[@sammyUknow]

she def got a lot done. she had take a 5 year break from an album and filmed romeo must die in 1999 recorded the album through the years, stopped and finalized it in 00/01. was filming the matrix, queen of the damned, signed onto the matrix 3 and recorded 3 music videos all before her death. she was 22 and so hard working😭

[@cachetburton9229]

She’s forever a legend can’t wait till her last album comes out Friday !! Rip Aaliyah 🕊

[@edthebank4115]

Guys Aaliyah passed at age 22 not 21 but you're right at her getting alot of work done and still bein relevant after her passing

[@katec8796]

Please react to Aaliyah - Are You That Somebody? and/or Aaliyah - If Your Girl Only Knew

[@carriel9954]

Her uncle is over the label. He’s also behind some of aaliyah, jojo, Toni, tank, timbaland, etc music not being on streaming platforms. He screwed all of his artists over. Now he’s trying to release all their songs/albums because he’s money hungry. The artists who created the albums get nothing. He recently released some of Aaliyah music and her stuff went to number 1 on streaming platforms within the first few hours.

[@coast2coast500]

she was way head of her time I am so glad her songs on streaming services know

[@teedee643]

Why dont you guys do research before talking to give more respect to these artists. Especially about musical legends on a review channel. She began her career in her teens. Her videos were blocked, but her music was just re-released by her uncle. Her music was disputed over by her family....Video was shot by Hype Williams in the Bahamas and choreographer was the legendary Fatima. Hype filmed for Biggie, Missy and so many top artists. She and many in the crew died right after this shoot flying back hm. RIP Baby Girl.

[@NeenMove]

She died in a plane crash in the Bahamas after filming this video. So she never got to see the final edit. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years. She lives such a void in her passing. So very sad.

[@Popculture90s]

Before y’all do a video about Aaliyah y’all should know the facts the beach since was real y’all need to get y’all facts right and watch the making of the video for Rock the boat the first since when she was wearing the white crop shirt and jeans she dancing on the waters is from a green screen and the rest is at a real beach and this was her last video after she finished shooting the video Aaliyah passed away the same day she got done shooting this video so get your facts right okay love y’all channel keep up the good work

[@indiashante1560]

Y'all gotta check out We Need A Resolution and More Than A Woman. She started recording her 1st album at the age of 12-13 I believe.

[@Juicyxcouture]

Aaliyah is the highest of the high❤

[@jeremymoore145]

Love her and miss her. I remember when she died.

[@vonamel_music]

Aaliyah is greatness period nobody was making great music like her in a short time frame like her at that age

[@shalo3294]

Aaliyah was 22 and Selena 23 when they died.

[@EpicHelios83]

This was the very last video she recorded, Summer of 2001. This was filmed in the Bahamas and her plane ride home is the one that crashed, taking her life and 8 other people. I've always loved and hated this video, because of that.

[@blackkatt777]

The message at the beginning said she died and that this was her last video. This was 2001, not 90's. She died in a plane crash coming off the island of where they filmed this music video.

[@AmerieFanbase]

she was amazing!

[@badgirlmelreacts4201]

Just watched the behind of scenes of this video the days before she died and the day she died and it was so sad because she was so friendly and happy all the hardwork for this video she never got to see this video results

[@randellroberson2263]

Rock the boat was definitely one of Aaliyah biggest hit!!! That song and video was consistently top 10 and she definitely was known for her creative videos and choreography! And this wasn't 90s it was early 2000s ... I know that because she slowly passed on shortly after this video wrapped... In a horrible plane crash... I think they filmed this video either in Jamaica or the Bahamas... She unfortunately passed b4 she got to finish filming the Vampire film Queen of the damn... She was also signed to star in quite a few other films she did romeo must die with jet lee and she do to film all 3 of the matrix trilogy as well as the remake of sparkle along side of Whitney Houston! I gaurantee if she were still here... She'd be bigger then Beyonce right now!!!!

[@carriel9954]

Love Aaliyah but I don’t like this song. Never did. I notice that ez and flacko love the songs she does with time. Are you that somebody, one in a million,etc. timbaland didn’t do this song.

[@marywildrick6101]

She was barely getting started!!!!! She was legendary think about its 20 yrs now and the shit she got done is still remembered today!!! I remember when ste was my favorite artist and it came on the radio that she had passed and I was completely crushed!!! HER ,TImbaland and missy was unbeatable their flow was the sickest

[@SabrinaBoss]

Her family owns her music and they haven’t released it all this time. But I hear her music will be available to stream soon 🙌

[@anonnnymousthegreat]

It’s early 2000’s. Because she past away in plane crash trying to leave the bahamas, which is where this video was filmed. So this music video is the last time she was literally alive. RIP to Aaliyah.

[@cj1557]

She died right after this video. They were in the Bahamas for this video shoot. On her way back to the States the plane crashed. She was only 22

[@maxday1000]

When the video first come on if y'all look at the top right you see skull and bones. And on the left top you will see a dove.

[@jordanreadsalot]

the beach scenes are not fake she filmed this video in the bahama's

[@AlexLopez-ov1vs]

This was done in the bahamas, and all the beach scenes are, in fact, real. Except the water dances parts however everything was real. This was the last video she did. She and 8 others passed away on the flight back to Miami. Aaliyah was timeless and had an angelic voice. She was definitely one of a kind ! Forever missed legend ✨️🙏

[@kimberlys8422]

I was 11 years old and remember going to school that day and everyone was heartbroken and shocked. Rest in Peace to Aaliyah and everyone who died that day.

[@stevengauthier6142]

Just FYI that beach scene is real. She filmed this video and died the next day. As her private plane was taking off it was too heavy, never fully got into the air and crashed off the side of the runway. Everyone was killed. I was 16 yrs old when this happened and remember it like it was yesterday 😢

[@gabrielsanchez8557]

This was the video she was filming right before she passed away

[@medylemaproductions]

Many people out there still don't realise she died the same day she shot that video

[@CurlyHair-km5vs]

The Beach scenes were 100% real… the boat scene ( all white outfit) were her final hrs alive

[@marywalker5348]

You're right, videos don't have the same production as movies. The King of Pop (Michael Jackson) is the first and only artist to make movie quality music videos. He was a real artist who saw a vision for every song and carried it out with and sometimes without the label until he created his own label and he took full creative control. He brought in the best film directors to carry out his vision and collaborated with them to make it even better. No other artist has done that including stage shows. Some artists put all their energy into their music but none are the visionary that that Michael was throughout his life. Which is why his videos are so legendary and it was an event even televised on network tv the release of his videos. They were handled like movie premieres. RIP to the King.

[@niacasterlow8300]

love an Aaliyah reaction

[@tjmiles81]

This was my baby. Aaliyah and Irish Grinstead from the group 702 were my crushes back then. I was 14 when she died I remember I was sad af for weeks. Good shit tho. Yall should check out More Than A Woman by her, or Where My Girls At by 702. 🤞🏾✌🏾

[@armandoucles5346]

It still pisses me off that she's gone. Aaliyah and her entourage never should've been on that plane. She accomplished a lot at 22. Also, Selena was 23 when she was murdered, just a correction.

[@maidenblack5511]

This video was shot in 2001. The scenes on the catamaran boat was shot only hours before her death.

[@melaninqueen2413]

This video was released after her death, in 2001. She was 22 years old. Although I was only a year old when she passed, I grew up with Aaliyah, thanks to my mother being a big fan of Aaliyah's since the 90s. But she was a beautiful human being, and her legacy won't be forgotten! RIP Baby Girl.

[@ezee147]

May she RIP

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

Actually Selena was murdered at 23 in March 31st 1995 aaliyah passed away in August 25th from that horrible plane crash in 2001 at age 22 she really filmed it at the beach in the Bahamas from August 24th and on the morning of her death on the 25th but first she filmed it on green screen and in the pool on August 22nd in Miami Florida before leaving to go to the Bahamas on August 23rd -26th she wasn't scheduled to leave the beach on August 25th but was scheduled the next day but since production of the music video wrapped up she wanted to go early leaving with her record label crew while the dancers and director stayed on the beach and that was last Time they saw aaliyah and her label crew leaving on the boat to catch the plane and Fatima Robinson had tooked a picture of aaliyah and her crew on that boat that was the last picture of aaliyah and her label mates and it haunted Fatima for years and she still have it for the memories
