if he aint hit, then he aint mess wit it.

if the glove don't fit, he mustve quit.


Actually, Pac told Left Eye NOT TO LET HIM HIT.He told her if she let him hit, he was going to look at her differently.


I guess Pac saw some potential in her and wanted to take her seriously

Sounds like some shyt that a nikka who made "Keep Ya Head Up" would say:pachaha:

i'd take a monica or brandy movie over aalyiah anyday.

better stories that would actually be aired and they were her superiors before she died as well.
:what: superiors? In what facet? Aaliyah was more popular, had movie roles on lock (plus future roles in the Matrix), and was attached musically to one of the biggest producers in the game. If Monica or Brandy had died the impact on fans wouldn't be near as bad imo.

I'll Keep It Real I NEVER Saw Anything Great Talent Wise About Lefteye, The Great Thing About Her Was She Was An Entertaining Personality

Her Look, Her Relationships, Burning Down The House, Challenging Her Group Members

You Cant Even Hear Her Voice On 80% Of TLC's Music

shyt..fukkin Frankie Lymon had a good biopic about him and the nikka died at 25 and was a damn one hit wonder..and it wasn't even a solo single..lol...

Frankie lymon had a wild ass story.

what movie scripts are made of.

I don't know where y'all are coming with Aaliyah wasnt popular. I was in HS when she died and best believe that after one and a million, Romeo must die, and going into her self titled album, she was at the height of her popularity with the female demographic, plus she was one of the few chicks that girls (and dudes) loved as a person. Back in 95-97 it was Monica that me and my girls looked at as a big sister, that role got filled by Aaliyah. Aaliyah was in no way at her least popular around the time of her death, the only time she got moved to the side was in 94/95 when brandy dropped, but when Aaliyah came back in 96 with one and a million, musically she was on the same plane and brandy and Monica. Brandy had the boost with moesha for a minute, but Aaliyah doing movies allowed her to catch up. The only hyperbole I see with Aaliyah is acting like she was a great vocalist, we know she wasn't, but her death definitely impacted my generation (people in 7th grade - college) due to how much us females loved her

Her biopic would do well being that the demographic it'd be catered to would eat it up, just like we did with the TLC movie. The movie was crap outside lil mama's acting, but the nostalgia and impact of tlc is what we were drawn to. Aaliyah would get the same love...you could do a fukking SWV biopic and that shyt would do well with its target audience, certain acts from the 90's are sacred to us chicks who are 25-35 and anything reviving their memory would probably be supported

PUH-LEASE.

nobody said that aaliyah wasn't popular. she just wasn't no dam icon. she was the Ciara of the '90s. lets be reality.

lol @ aalyiah being at her height of popularity when she died. maybe youre letting the fact that you were a fan cloud your judgement, but aalyiah was type-cold out there with that album she just dropped before she passed. lol @ "coming off 'one in a million'." that album was 5 years old by that point. that's 10 years in pre-Viacom terms

brandy didn't need Moesha to boost her. she was already the biggest commercial star out of all the teen singers. that's how she got the show in the 1st place. and monica was seen as brandy's better but not-so-white friendly counterpart. aalyiah was the 3rd wheel. and that's not a bad thing because there were a lot of other dope artists in that lane, but lets be reality. and she never actually caught up to them. it just seems that way because she lingered around droppin joints when brandy was focused on acting and monica was going thru all her chit.

you didn't love her as a person. you loved her image.

comparing aalyiah's impact to that of TLC is beyond laughable.

SWV is my favorite and imo the goat girl group(sorry TLC) but i'd be shocked if somebody green-lights an SWV biopic. they fall under that monica category. while pre-death aalyiah falls under that xscape category.:laugh: and seeing how xscape is having this new run with all of them getting on reality shows, they'd be quicker to get a movie than SWV in hindsight. sound familiar?:laugh:

She wasn't the third wheel. All three occupied different realms of the same genre. She had more of a hood sex appeal with a dab of mystery.

see my previous post dog.

and those movies she had "on lock" came long after the fact. and they didn't coincide much with her music career because that last album she did was a critical & commercial disappointment. this is how history gets revised.

and timbaland was an unknown before the aalyiah & ginuwine albums dropped in the latter part of '96.

and lets not act as if her acting career was dope. the Moesha show alone trumps that chit easily. hell, this chardenay(sp?) role on "the game" is more impactful than anything aaliyah ever did on film.

that's not a different realm or lane.

you reachin hard dog.

I personality think thats a talent, Lefteye was the personality of the group, without her, Chili would be your typical r&b chick and Tboz would be a lesbian lookin butch boy, Left Eye was a sexy tomboy who rapped, that was unique back then :wow: like nicki minaj before she went lady gaga style

The Ciara of the 90s? Ciara has no fanbase, no one gives a fukk abt her music, if she were to do a movie, etc. the only time aaliyah disnt matter was that period adter her debut until her sexond album, she came back with the missy-timbo crew and was certified with us. Um, maybe you need to fall back. I'm clearly her demographic (the right age and gender...i dont know one chick who wasnt checking for aaliyah after one and a million, even if it was just a feature in a sdtk or missy or timbo album) and Aaliyah was not some afterthought singer. And yes, she was as popular as she ever was, and while Aaliyah wasn't as dope as one in a million, it wasn't some dud. Third wheel? Dude, you're clearly making your own reality. And I didn't say she was as impactful as tlc, but she was huge amongst us and her death hit hard as hell - I remember finding out before a big house party, all of us, male and female, were shocked and saddened by it to levels that, up to that point, were only experienced and superceded by my generation (on the west coast) when Pac died. At that time, Aaliyah was the second saddest death to most of us.


Anyway, to the point of this thread. A lot of people killed the lil mama casting but she played her part perfectly.

TYRONE GA!
Monica and brandy were bigger then Aaliyah tho.

It's just that there's been a combination of revisionist history and flat out:duck: on Aaliyah's legacy/career after she died

They were honestly all on the same level. Aaliyah and Brandy a little more because of TV/movies.

To be honest, Brandy was the most popular out of all 3.

Why Dude Acting Like Aaliyah Was A Nobody?

The R Kelly Controversy, Albums Sold Well, She Was In Movies, She Won A Grammy

Did You Forget When That Timbo, Missy, Ginuwine, Aaliyah Core Was Running shyt :usure:

She Was No Beyonce, And YES She Got More Popular After Her Death, But To Lump Her In With Ciara Is Mad Insulting lol

THANK YOU!!!!!!

youre taking the things I say as insults.

youre saying that Ciara is an afterthought. but I never said that.

3rd wheel is a snide remark, I must admit. but its true. she was the clear #3. and you even admitted it, even tho you tried to dance around it.

3rd album was a dud amongst the competition. the female r&b game was crowded and she was laggin. lets not revise.

no offense, but the world is bigger than you and your friends at a house party. aalyiah's death was bigger than biggie's?:laff:
