Aaliyah would've been 40 today.

[TheDarkCloud]

She had 1 number 1 hit for one week

stop the revisionist history and acting like she was some world beater at the top of r&b, she wasn't

#1 songs, beating out MAJOR pop stars at award shows, and had albums going double plat in under a year.

For somebody that was strictly r&b/urban, Aaliyah was at the top. The only other female artist (in the same lane) that you could make a reasonable argument for being bigger is Mary J.

Everybody else were crossover acts, so NONE of those hoes count.

So still...STFU faq.

what acts were strictly crossover and by what rubric are you determining who's crossover and who's not


you posting real emotional and bytch like, so you either a for real bytch or just hella moist. Either way you need to get out your feelings.

How you overlooking the other part of my post, doe

And you’re the moist one. Disrespecting a dead woman. Probably because she reminds your fakkit ass of all the women you tried to holla at and got rejected by. Get over it.

She was the #1 profile image for fat bytches too scared to use their real pic during the black planet college club and myspace days. IIf you saw Aaliyah as someone's profile pic just know she was hideous.

I remember I took a gamble and met a chick off Blackplanet who didn’t have any actual photos of herself, but Aaliyah was her profile pic. When I finally met her, to my surprise, she kinda looked like Aaliyah. Same complexion, jet black long hair, good fashion sense. Only difference is she wasn’t AS fine as Aaliyah (still cute though, just had bigger teeth), and she was thick, but not fat at all.

simply put she was selling swagg

her popularity was centered around her character & energy

like what rih is today

iconic it's more than music

Aaliyah Wasn’t A BIG Superstar At The Time Of Her Death But Before She Died You Can Def Tell Her Stock Was Rising

Aaliyah Wasn’t A BIG Superstar At The Time Of Her Death But Before She Died You Can Def Tell Her Stock Was Rising

Like I said earlier, Aaliyah was booked up until at LEAST 2007. At the very least.

That’s what makes her death more tragic. It was literally right as she was on the cusp of crossing over.

nikkas can’t fault her for not being a “major star.” She had not crossed over yet. But for somebody that was strictly r&b up until the time she died, she did fairly well for herself.

them awards don't mean shyt
everybody was getting them shyts and they're representative of nothing really, if anything label politics were more involved than anything else


Your stupid ass brought up brittany spears but I'm wondering do we really wanna compare their respective award count

You can't be this fukking dumb

you throwing fakkit around a whole lot and you're damn near apoplectic at people spitting facts about this woman you worship who you have never met and will never meet in life. Pathetic



now why don't you tell me about these crossover acts that "don't count" even though aaliyah's shyt was being played on TRL and pop radio


If it were the NBA she'd be all NBA 2nd or 3rd team, not first

If Penny Hardway would have never got injured he would have piled up more stats, awards, and accolades. That doesn't make him a HOFer

You coli cats live in an alternate reality. These lies could never have me triggered.

LOL @ Aaliyah not being "that big" when she was alive...BUT this is the same Aaliyah that was beating out prime Britney Spears for awards and charting #1 records from just airplay.

FOH, fakkit.

Yeah its strange how people hate on her in death I never recall running across people who didn't enjoy her as an entertainer when she was alive and wasn't devastated when she passed lol. Now people try and downplay her popularity.

Happy birthday to her.

No one thinks she was a goat lol. But going out of you way to hate in a birthday thread speaks volumes.
