The Sad Reason Aaliyah's Music Has Disappeared From The Internet

... underage one that would cause a bitter rift between the family and Kelly. And then there was Aaliyah's tragic death in a plane crash in 2001. Hankerson is still wounded, which seems to have lead to the Blackground meltdown. "Grief turned to despondency; despondency turned to inertia," Witt writes. "Inexplicably, Blackground stopped releasing music, and artists stopped getting paid.". There's good news, however: Hankerson sold a stake in Blackground’s publishing rights to Reservoir in 2012. The deal included unreleased Aaliyah tapes, which would make up a long-rumored posthumous Aaliyah record. And according to Reservoir, despite Hankerson's feet-dragging, it's going to happen. "They have some great vocals on it, and a lot of production," Reservoir Media COO Rell Lafargue says. "They’ve kept it true to Aaliyah’s style.". Still, there's no firm release date. And as ...

Thembisa Mshaka On What Aaliyah’s Future Career Could’ve Been

... 38 th birthday, I got to thinking: had she lived, where would Aaliyah be today. She would certainly be breaking the rules musically, as she did with R. Kelly and Timbaland. She’d be making the kind of bass heavy, memorable R&B that you ride to, make love to, celebrate life to and sing loudly in the shower. Emotive, melodic, sultry and playful. That was Aaliyah. I do believe that she’d be turning in more performances of pop songs and torch songs, a glimpse of which we were given by her unexpected, powerful vocal on “Journey To The Past” for the Anastasia soundtrack. I could see her going from electronic soul to calypso, from jazz standards to classic rock covers as she expanded her discography creatively. She would have taken the surprise visual album format and ran straight to the top of the charts with it. She was a true innovator in the music video realm, and would have relished the opportunity to cut a clip for each song and tell a story an album long. As a matter of course, Aaliyah would definitely still be riding with her squad: recording with Missy [Elliott], dancing with ...

A Look At Her Lasting Impression On Style

... I don’t have to give a f-k’ style? Aaliyah owned that. Now you see a lot of girls like that—they’re everywhere.”. The Brooklyn-born, Detroit-reared R&B sensation, born Aaliyah Dana Haughton, helped paved the way for today’s empowered stars such as Rihanna, whose Fenty x Puma collection owes a debt to the styles Aaliyah pioneered, Ariana Grande, Ciara, Rita Ora, and Beyonce (who took to Instagram to pay tribute to the fallen star on the 15 th anniversary of her death last August.). Aaliyah also blurred fashion’s binary gender lines in a way that predated the agender trend by more than a decade. “Her ability to open the conversation of androgynous fashion was beyond her time,” according to Los Angeles-based celebrity stylist Ade Samuel, whose clients include Kelly Rowland, Jhene Aiko and Big Sean. “She was a pioneer in taking risks and creating fashion moments that still remain iconic even today.”. Designers inspired by the nexus of fashion and music continue to draw upon Aaliyah’s sense of style. “From Tommy Hilfiger to Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, ...

... ahold of her & she eventually succumbed to her addiction. Our addicts deserve our love. If you have an addict who overdoses & dies the police immediately treat it like a crime scene. It killed me because they wouldn't let me kiss her as her body was taken out of my house. Even though I wanted to continue doing CPR, I was kicked out of her room & they refused to let me back in. They worked on her for at least an hour. I saw some tears on the faces of some of those firemen & policemen. I can't deny that it broke my heart. And as for blame, without drug dealers there would be a significantly lower rate of addicts. Yes there will always be those who are prescribed medications but at least they are under a doctors care. They are not getting the stuff that my daughters dealer supplied her with that took her young life. I need prayers because I have some serious hate in my heart for her drug dealer. I know I shouldn't feel this way but I can't help it. I'm a broken hearted mother. I love you Aaliyah Dawn~RIP~ Addicts deserve love too. She preceded in death ...
