Lets Talk About the Hook To Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody"

[KingTut]

One of the top 5 beats ever made. Dude had a fukking baby cooing in the background, snares panning from right to left, an impeccable mix. Timbaland is the gotdamn GOAT man. Most creative hip hop/rnb producer ever.

 

[Azul]

Honestly speaking, imo AYTS has not aged as well as say Back and Forth or One in a Million. It's still a great song, but I can give or take it.

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

Released 2 weeks after Orlando Anderson was killed.

That's a random ass thing to mention


Anyways, the remix was banging too

 

[Marc Spector]

One In a Million is still her GOAT song

That beat

Whatever happened to Aaliyah? She was dope as hell and then just stopped putting shyt out all of a sudden. She had a baby or something?

 

[Marco Zen]

I lost all respect for Timbo when he signed Magoo.

Magoo is either Tims family member or he fought off nikkaz that bullied Tim in school...

Why else would he cosign such epic wackness

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

That means you never had respect for him. Magoo was part of swing mob and he's rhyming on the bassment demo

She married spike lee?

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

All the girls would sing Aaliyah's part and all the boys would do Timb's rap.


"Baby Girl"

Aaliyah saying "sometimes I'm goody goody, right now I'm naughty naughty" used to have a 8 year old Ice Cold Perm like ....I shed a tear when she died 3 years later

They don't make em like Babygirl & Static anymore: BLACKEXCELLENCE

 

[Black Magisterialness]

The best part of her working with Timb and Missy was the fact she was getting some really unique shyt that no one woulda have even DARED to try like We Need a Resolution and More than A Woman...


It also took from me to get a bit older to realize how fukkin fine she was...the definition of "real-world beautiful".


That was my Detroit Public Schools graduate

Song is legendary..

This was back when soundtracks actually HELPED a film's box office. Are You That Somebody had every kid (including me) trying to go see Dr Doolittle

I have wondered about this for awhile. These movies use to have some bomb soundtracks what happened

Radio doesn't mean shyt anymore so their is no need to cross-promote and maximize awareness for the film.
