That beauty might've been timeless
...Imagine if she had a baby and got thick
Gotta agree with just about everything else,cant really compare her to rappers who write they OWN classics,who really never run out of producers to work with....If you cant create your own material you will always be at the mercy of others in the game and politics.
Aaliyah took a break to do movies and lost momentum,i do think whats being left out is how she connected with fans,to women they felt like she was they homegirl,to dudes she was that around the way girl next door
So I think she would've kept a loyal fanbase,even though she would've been replaced at the top,and you would always have caught hell if you said something bad about her.
And quit being salty talkin bout she a martyr cuz she died
...She dead,most people speak kindly of the dead and wont go out of they way to shyt on her career....but you really cant make predictions with a artist like her.Beyonces stanbase is strong though,so strong I think they will reject potential replacement just so she can keep the top spot which is crazy to me
...In hiphop we always looking for the new nikka to replace the old,not that Beehive
edit-And oh yeah,Biggie overated azz wouldn't have been relevant in 2002,letalong 2015
...r.i.p though

Lol at Aaliyah worship
She was in the same lane as Mya. Where is she in 2015?

Double
How many dead really get praised in hiphop though
?Its really just Pac,then you got Biggie fans overdoing it to keep up with Pac....but overall nobody who died really gets praised like that,you probably got Mac Dre in a distant 3rd....the rest get forgotten like the rest...being that nobody living has passed Pacs catalogue I don't see the problem with the praise,if he retired instead of died he'd still be the goat based off discography
...So I don't see how him falling off would've hurt him.

I'm from that era, nobody took her serious as a singerAaliyah can't sing?She may not be no damn Whitney Houston, or even a Mary J., but she was from the 90s, and back then, they would have called her out if that was the case. You acting like she was Britney Spears.
She started regaining popularity late in her career among a new younger audience, she had respect cuz people remembered her from back in tha days as a veteran artist, she wuz immortalized becuz tha way she died, and for some reason Camel dedicating songs to her

Not when she was alive
nah you tweeking breh..aaliyah was way more popular than mya..
Mya never had a #1 single. Mya never had an album that sold over 1 million copies. Mya's biggest record came in 2000 with "Case of the Ex". Aaliyah's "Try Again" came out months earlier and peaked at #1 while "Case of the Ex" peaked at #2. Mya never had a solo #1. She had collaborations that were huge ("Take Me There" with BlackStreet and Mase, and the remake of "Lady Marmalade" with Pink, Christina Aguilera, and Lil' Kim, and the song with Beenie Man). On her own, she wasn't as popular as Aaliyah.
"It's like when an a$$hole dies and you go to their funeral..."
^^^ T-Pain says this after sampling her vocals.
. T-Pain is cool, but there are better ways that it could've been worded. Everyone is "sainted" in death no matter what kind of life they led. You could be the most evil, vile human being to ever walk the face of the Earth. You could be the nicest, kindest person to ever walk the face of the Earth. In death, both of them will be eulogized and canonized as a "saint" who goes to Heaven. Yeah, her music is guarded, but that's to be expected when you sample the work of someone that's deceased.
The thing about artists being overrated AFTER death is that they were rated while they were alive. You don't just go from a relative nobody when you were breathing to acclaim without having made an impact while living.
Last, Aaliyah detractors aren't exactly slick. They are the same as the stans who they say put her on a pedestal. They re-write history to fit their own agendas to downplay Aaliyah the same way people say "Aaliyah was Beyonce status".

Lol like I said, they were in the same lane.
Mya had huge collabs but in reality, every Aaliyah hit was a collab w/ Timberland anyway
