I didn't know timbaland was this weird about Aaliyah.

A lot of posts in this thread need to be reported

That boy said he was fighting fighting

nikka said he was fighting an Infinity War yet dudes saying it's cool

 

[Wild self]

Exactly.

Like Aaliyah was the only lightskin chick in the entire industry? Like they couldn't find a grown woman that looked better?
That's why I said its goofy... cuz it leads me to believe that part of the attraction they had to her WAS her young age and WAS the fact that she had some innocence/naiveté towards the situation.


Whereas an older woman might be more difficult. Being attracted to a 16yr old doesn't make you a pedophile... technically. But it tells me that you like something about younger woman.

Like a college guy who dates highschool sophmores

A lot of dudes would sacrifice entire blocks of people, to marry a light skinned woman like her. Colorism is not addressed enough in this topic.

Men are attracted to secondary sexual characteristics. That's how we are wired. There is nothing wrong with that. Now we should have the discretion and discipline not to act on it all the time, which Tim displayed here. Also should have the discretion to keep it to ourselves, which he did not display here. That said, I don't get why you would say this at any point. What does this do for you or for her? Secondly, I don't get what it was about this chick in particular that had these dudes going crazy. Yes she was light skinned and pretty and had a cool personality but these dudes were rich and famous, didn't they have light-skinned pretty chicks throwing themselves at them? And she didn't even have the secondary sex characteristics like that, even as an adult. Dudes were really risking their freedom, careers and friendships and "fighting fighting" over this chick. I really don't get it. I know that some chicks just exude sexiness and draw you in even if they don't have body like that, but once again ya'll nikkas didn't have a bunch of chicks at your disposal?

Cause a lot of dudes were conditioned to get a model light skinned chick by any means necessary.

Breh, they looked and still look like pre adolescent boys. Sounds like you like them young, fresh and green with no hair inbetween, know what I mean. nothing attractive about that but I wouldn't understand or know about that like you would anyway.

Bet this dude didn't expect me to say that or to flip it on him and you reading this didn't either.

Pat yourself on the back for the most contrived and cliche comeback possible, brehs

You sound disappointed

Unlike other groups, Black men who are "canceled" actually face real world consequences. I would be disappointed if a Black man faced consequences for doing nothing wrong. There are lots of people with different opinions in this thread, though

Never forget Janet was only 16 when she was f*cking Magic Johnson

So do you view him a creep in general or do you just view that situation as creepy? Did it change the way you looked at him when you found that out?

By the time I found out my grandad had already passed.
Felt a bit of a grooming vibe tbh. Its the only thing I have ever heard about him that I have ever side eyed.

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

Threads like these ALWAYS end up with folks saying shyt they should have kept to themselves. I have a 20 yo daughter, but even before that, I had a gf in high school that was dating a 19 yo, and I was crazy about her, so I just always had the stance that the shyt is creepy.

So you mad a 19 year old stole your bytch

 

[Mastamimd]

For all ya'll who dont find this weird..

Imagine a 16yr girl starts working at your place of employment.
Everything about her says '16'.
She doesn't have an ass, doesn't have big breast, has a young face. Truly 16.

You dont think it would be weird if all these 23-27 year olds start hitting on her?


This is how I know some of ya'll are closet weirdos. Cuz when you apply this situation to real life today, it still dont make any sense

Fam when I worked at a restaurant I was befuddled at dudes that did this shyt, and with impunity. Bragging about it and all. One dude almost got hemmed up because the girls parents were pissed...no idea how he got off.

That's real. It's truly amazing the things that were accepted just a couple generations ago...grown men getting with teenagers, domestic violence, rape. I'm not gonna say incest and sexual abuse were accepted but they kinda were, as in people straight did nothing and said nothing despite knowing it was going on. None of us are exempt either. We all got a grandfather, uncle, cousin etc that did at least one of these things.

That’s how nikkas here was acting in that Chole thread.

 

[tuckgod]

Ooh that is my song.

I really miss her. She was my fave as a kid

Mine too.

I still remember her and Kellz first interview with Donny Simpson on video soul right after Back and Forth came out when she cut Donny's hair.

She definitely didn't carry herself as a kid and she was only like 14 at the time.

I thought she was older than me back then she was so mature.

This isn't the interview, can't find it, but this one is around that same time.



But Babygirl had hella bangers.

Outside of I Care 4 U, this was always one of my favorites from her...



This one is probably still my all time favorite though, cause it takes me back to those times instantly and I remember exactly what I was on back then...

 

[tuckgod]

Senior year of High School, '96.

This shyt was soooo fukkin fire and I used to get tight when they didn't play it on Video Soul or Video Vibrations before they went off, because it wasn't on the album and that was the only time you could hear it.

When I finally was able to catch it and record it on my VHS tape I was geeked.

I wore that bytch out.

 

[tuckgod]

Lord, I don't know why I let y'all take me down this Aaliyah rabbit hole.

These are painful wounds that I thought was healed, but I've just ignored it for years.

I was really in love with this damn girl, like most nikkas was back then.

Anybody over 39, y'all remember when this shyt first dropped when Aaliyah reappeared?

We had never heard nothing like this before, it was some otherworldly shyt, but incredible.

Changed the sound of black music forever..

Maybe that's what really got them, she seemed older than she was BUT SHE WASN'T. Weirdo ass dudes.

Yeah her songs instantly take me back to a specific time. You couldn't tell me nothing about that girl. I knew it all lol. I still remember my mom telling me she passed. She knew I'd be tore up and I was.
