AALIYAH EPK (2001) 

She had an old soul

I feel like that's the real beauty of who she was and why people love her. She's an original she did her own thing. Now a days originality is kind of lost. Everybody wants to look and sound the same. I hope people learn from her in that regard

@@MsTrueTy That’s definitely the case, Aaliyah inspired males and females alike just with her character, creative bravery and quiet confidence. She always had a sexiness but that came through more through the way she moved, it wasn’t a forced element. I’m glad new fans are finally getting access to her full artistry beyond ‘One In A Million’ and ‘Try Again’, because she was so much more than those songs. Back in the day we didn’t even really know what she looked like for most of her career. There were even rumours she had a glass eye, as her face was always concealed in some way. She wasn’t sold on her beauty, it was just a bonus. When the shades and hair were finally removed we were like “Damn, she’s gorgeous😍” and that was about 6-7 singles and features into her career lol. So to have her be reduced to an aesthetic all these years has been frustrating, Cos it aligned her with acts that are mostly that now. Her artistry was louder than her looks, she just happened to be timelessly beautiful💯

@@damyanthelion Very well put. I'm happy too. I remember I always thought she was pretty but it was her energy and overall presence that hooked me.

@@MsTrueTy This is so true!

Same!💞

Also nobody could imitate the chemistry she had with her team in the studio. Her sound couldn't be imitated...

Now a days, you change one word and they give you writing credits...cough..cough- Beyonce...

@@britneytian3768 ntm on Beyoncé now... I’ve seen ur other comments... you are weird and obsessed. Learn to praise talent without dragging/degrading other talented people. This was supposed to be a positive comment section but here u go starting stuff and ruining the vibe.

@@dugebuwembo especially static who wrote half of this album

@@yungmiami7675 exactly thank you.

Yes

Me too! It’s the part of her that’s always over-looked when people talk about her. Of course Aaliyah had a sweetness but it undermines her artistry to reduce her to only that. Aaliyah was a visionary with a lot of sensuality, heart, edge and innovation, as well as being sweet. More than anything she was a risk-taker and she lead the way for her peers to be more risky💯

@@damyanthelion agreed . She changed the lane for r&b

@@damyanthelion very well said

wish it was i wish we could bring them back and get rid of alot bad people

Also Soul and elements of Electronica, Middle Eastern and Latin.

Me too back in December 2002. Excellent classic double CD I Care For You. Aaliyah was on her way to the top in the music industry and an actress 😭😭😭. She was taking away too soon

@@pigramgregory2 I try not to think about it cause it really don’t make sense at all man😭 like why here she was on her way to being a icon

Shes a icon in my opinion for sure though

she actually had both done here hehe but you're still right 😊

Me too

Dame said that hype Williams took the private jet that Lenny kravitz sent for her . I will always look at him funny from here on out

It was all setup to happen like that. Sad to say

wtf are u talking about? Her scheduled flight was for Aug 26th (the next day). They wrapped shooting earlier than scheduled so her and the others decided to leave that same day (the 25th) but could not get the plane scheduled to pick them up any earlier than planned, so Hype’s (the videos director) partner-travel agency booked that flight on that small plane. They were all expecting a larger plane to arrive.

@@ashrick718 that is not true. It was rumored in the industry that hype would do all the extra shit to get money this is why they shot in the Bahamas but it was mostly behind a green screen. He took the plane that was sent for Aaliyah. Kenny Kravitz sent for her to get a private plane . They packed all that equipment on there knowing it was gonna fall . Look at Alberto Clemente scenario. It’s known if you overload a plane it’s gonna fall . That’s probably why she didn’t wanna get on the plane in the first place

@@destinixshakur I know what I’m talkin bout. Thanks. And “Loose Rap” was written and the third verse is boasting about artists and mainly producers that have been jealous of Timbaland’s and also Static’s team unique sound, because Timb really introduced a new sound to hip hop/R&B in the late 90s and had everyone wanting to work with them (Missy too). If u do thorough research Aaliyah’s flight was intended for the next day. Lenny probably suggested he’d send a flight BUT Hype booked that smaller plane for them. Might not had been purposely though. They were all pissed when the plane arrived at that private airport, and they couldn’t book anything else. Private flights are expensive.

me either

Me neither

Are young adults supposed to speak like they are dumb?

Your right I just watched it 20 min ago it’s definitely different I might post the dvd version

@@crow2111 post it please

this is from the I Care 4 U DVD

@@crow2111 please do. Just followed you. Put it up. 😂

This may have been the VHS version, I’m guessing.

Her best work was really ahead of her

I know a lot of 90’s artists were

Like seriously. Fans had this in HD and they pulled it just to upload their version in 480p... 🥴

Damn

DMX Too

He is choreographer he works with Fatima Robinson...

@@dugebuwembo thanks bro

Stop complaining and be happy they released it....ungrateful smh

@@samcook6603 You definitely fake asf why u even click on here 😒

Upscaling a VHS Tape to 1080p is not pretty. Upscaling a DVD and DigiBeta tape to 1080p would look better.

@@Classical01 this was from the DVD

@@thamsachembe There is a DVD version but this upload is a Tape copy rendered at a low bitrate, A DVD would look a lot more sharper than this.

me either

I love the snake scene. ❤

🐍Snake scene is gorgeous

Electric Press Kit

You sound real dumb how she being shady obviously you don't know about Aaliyah this new generation of irritates me

Damn, some ORIGINAL, vintage CLASSIC art that’s been held away from the world is being uploaded and this all y’all be focused on. She’s not being SHADY, she’s stating FACTS, fuck do you mean? 🤪💋
