Aaliyah needed producers and songwrirers JUST LIKE BEYONCE. Where would Beyonce be without scott storch? Darkchild? Rich harrison? Neyo? In fact, Aaliyah only needed one songwriter, while Beyonce's songs require 10+.
She's more a studio puppet than anyone else. Let's use common sense brehs.
Studio puppet and Beyoncé don't even belong in the same sentence considering she's the ultimate performer and makes all her noise outside the studio
If having a writer makes you a puppet than Janet and Whitney are also puppets
Fact is Aaliyah is nothing more than a Ciara type artist (Ciara is actually a Better dancer) Except she died and received extra promotion.
Studio puppets don't last 20 years breh
Studio puppets can't do this 20 years into their career breh
