Missy Elliott Talks Aaliyah's Spirit & Style // SiriusXM // Shade 45 

"There are a lot of artists, but not a lot of Superstars. Something's missing & we're all feeling it." That's EXACTLY how I feel about music today.

Music isn't the same since Aaliyah's & 2Pac's death. And it will never be the same cause nobody can ever replace them. I would give any artists to bring them both back

Aaliyah was a once in a lifetime and I feel honored to have gotten the chance to witness her unmatched talent and person she was. Aaliyah still to this day is my favorite artist of all time. For what ever reason God wanted her to come home and I can't wait to get to Heaven to hear her sing again. Love you all and God Bless!!!

It’s a lot of artists. It’s not a lot of *super stars* … Aaliyah was and STILL IS a MEGA STAR 💯

She is so right! R&B is not the same!

Aaliyah was too pure for this world. period

Damn, Missy Elliott has talent for recognizing talent. She summed up things perfectly & put things into perspective when she said,

She couldn't have explained it better! #RIPbabygirl

Missy hit it in the ballpark, and I agree with her. Something happened to R&B to a point that it lost its substance.

Missy Elliott never lies. Seems after both Aaliyah & Left Eye died R&B music plummeted badly and did a nose dive around mid-2005 when the sound & format for music entirely shifted. A damn shame. RIP Babygirl.

Missy is right. When someone's spirit is strong you know it and can sense it. Just loved her music.

I think the thing that's possibly made music worse is the internet, although it's made artists, it's also given everyone entitlement who aren't actually talented but manage to become famous which means everyone starts to sound worse.

Missy speaks the truth all day like she is so real and lately I've been feeling like that and then i go on an Aaliyah song spree

Aaliyah is still with us .,she is a Child of fbe Most High God ..... Spirit does not die so she is still alive in another realm where we can always find peace and hear her voice a place Spiritual eyes and ears hear and see what Spirit says to those who believe

Without aaliyah there is really something missing in music. Bro I really miss aaliyah so much, her music everything of her. She was someone who loved to follow her dreams. Period

10 years later and this is still accurate. Something is missing in music in general. There are no more superstars. Aaliyah was one of those artists that truly changed the game.

She had a style of her own.

her voice will be for ever missed. that is the "something" that is missing. everybody can sense that void space.

So true I agree with Missy R&b is not the same and for me it has begun when Aaliyah passed away she was all the r&b music industry super high talented respectful beautiful 😘 every real R&b and Hip Hop people know and feel that I hope god is taking care of her Aaliyah was an Angel on earthy but would have been a powerful R&b superstar with talented and honourable rules. The real standards that Real R&b had in the last 90s Aaliyah was a sort of an R Kelly female version an R&b genius spreading positives vibes rest in peace baby girl I still love every day I care 4 u 😓😓😓😓 you are truly deeply missed to that discosting and missing R&b industry

I love her and I love Aaliyah RIP Aaliyah

thats exactly how i have been feeling! music just isnt the same anymore :/ ESPECIALLY R&B! i just wish it could come back U.U

Wow. Still can't became Babygirl's gone. Just not fair to lose someone with such a beautiful spirit such as Aaliyah and SELENA. They were Amazing women and outstanding Artists that will be forever young. Miss them much. 🎈 🎋 🎁 🎇 💒 💝 🎊 🎉 🎈 🎋 🎁

Aaliyah was just so good😩

Aaliyah was ahead of her time!!!!..so is Missy and Timbo, they all was good together!!!!:)

Aaliyah truly was one in a million ✨

I miss her so dearly 😔 I just knew she was going to go so far in her career, but her blueprint is on the game forever!

When they we're talking about Aaliyah's spirit I cried tears of joy. It just made me love her all over again. And Missy's right. Something has been missing in the music industry. I hope that they can fix that then we wouldn't have to play One In A Million over and over again or Brenda's Got A Baby or Ready to Die. And don't try to replace these legends, just add on so we can have more legends

She is so on the money with what she is saying about the music Industry. Some people are born with quality of being an entertainer others have to work hard to get to the status where the lovely ~Aaliyah~ had!😍🙌🏼🙏🏼💜👼🏼☮️

No one is authentic and their individual selves anymore. Instagram and social media has taken over. It's not hard to be famous, you don't need talent to be famous. I think that's what happened. Artists like aaliyah, biggie etc had huge talent, worked hard and loved it. That's the difference between back then and now sadly and i find it hard to take many artists seriously these days.

You really know it's bad when (nine years ago) 1 of music's most prominent writer/producer/artists say everything sounds the same and it still be pretty accurate in 2022. I get 99% of my r&b fix from 60's 70's 80's 90's and some early 2000's. She ain't wrong!

@nathan Stewart Aaliyah fans love her so much like to the point of no return can't count the number of times my eyes have burst into tears at tributes she was DOPE

Missy is so on point in this interview. True R&B really is missing from the game. What's passing for R&B now is just pop music--basically a watered down version of the essence of R&B music. If you want soul/R&B now, you basically have to listen to artists like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Ledisi and some others.

That's true. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 We miss you Aaliyah!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I would do anything I mean ANYTHING to get Aaliyah back 🙆🏽‍♂️

Missy Elliot is a Superstar.

Aaliyah's style was very similar to TLC's.

Missy's right even now still, about something being missing from a lot of music right now, I think that thing is soul and passion. There's some singers right now who do have the soul but many and most do not.

Basically to me this two women´s were like sisters,because you still can felt the pain of Missy on her words when talks about Aaliyah.

Aaliyah was the star on the rise. And we are missing her deeply.

Damn can this woman get any realer :D lol she done said it all. Yes there's a missing link in R&B Lili was definitely it because like she said she set boundaries everybody was like :Who's this new chick? that style was out of its world "the boxers, baggy pants were all Aaliyah and everybody wanted to follow her. :') yes she made her mark,

I love Missy! So talented... Come back and produce good music

Imagine an Aaliyah and Selena collab

When I hear missy and Tim talk about her I feel it cuz they feel it. They were good for eachother in friendship and career.

If I could like this a million times I would.

missy so right about everything sounding the same shit she right about everything she just spoke

I LOVE MISSY AND AALIYA (RIP) baby girl xxxxxxx LOVE AND PEACE xxxxxx

Aaliyah!!!!❤

There are many amazing R&B music game changer out there nowadays.. but they don't get the attention they diserve for whatever reason...absolutely felt what she said at the end.

Finally someone is saying exactly what's happening or at least questioning what's going on. I agree with you hundred percent.Something has happened I can't really put my finger on it but somehow it seems that there's an extraordinary amount of super talented artist, celebrity, call it by whatever name out here that are technically incredible even mind blowing.And it isn't just the music industry but I see it in just about every artform. there's no mystery, magic even a sort of vulnerability that these incredible artist from so called back in the day had i know about how everybody usually says that people they listen to and watched in there day were the best. I'm not talking about that.I think lots of different things play into this starting with social media internet and all that jazz. But in a way I think it's even something more than just that. I'm tired lol. but thanks Missy Elliot for bringing it up.i thought it was me..TBC

Right the last superstar died, that was mj

Great interview

Definitely agree that she carried a mystique about her very well. That added to her legendary status. Beyoncé when she first came out had the same thing. She never overshared. However Beyoncé didn’t have a natural illusion. It was more fabricated and put on. No one wants to buy what’s readily available in general . Scarcity creates demand. Doja cat needs to get off social media in its entirety despite how it made her. She has potential to propel to stardom.

all facts i agree with everything she said i love me some Aaliyah nobody have a swag like her even to this day

Sooo much love for Missy!!!!!

The Record companies and radio is what Happen Missy!

It is true, it isn't a lot of super stars and the super stars we do have is the super stars like Beyonce that been a super star since the 90s

I will always love Aaliyah forever, rest easy baby girl, 😇😞😍

Aaliyah was nonthreatening, attractive, soft spoken, smiling, short in physique, not too dark,always avoiding controversy with others, a nonobstentacious lolita, with a loyal,talented, tightnit staff around her. That is why people loved her.

❤️❤️❤️Something is surely is missing

It's like an alternate universe you sometimes see in DC comics where they depict what the world would have been like if superman or batman died how would it affect the grand scheme of things, it's like that with Aaliyah only we happen to live in the horrible universe where Aaliyah did die and the ripples of that are spread everywhere all over music. Imagine An alternate reality where Aaliyah didn't get on that plane and was alive today. What a beautiful industry it would be.

I felt the industry wasn't the same when Aaliyah died. By that time it was play time was over.

No one will ever match Aaliyahs angelic voice and personality. Shes gone yes, but i thank God she's in a much better place. She needed peace ❤❤ love you Aaliyah. Miss you

Yes something's happened people began trying to discourage

I miss my idol AALIYAH 😭😭 why did they take her to soon

Aaliyah /.\ was a earth angel of the light being authentic 😢😢😢😢😇

Listen to Missy...Truth

Missy is right. Music nowadays are so fyckin teen like and it has come in between of the real old school music

R&B is missing today. The 90's had the best R&B music.

yea missy is right

💯💯💯💯🐐🖤

Dope

Missy has that same glow

Aaliyah unfortunate death put a crack in r&b ,which made room for artificial artist to move forward. She was unstoppable and no female artist was taking her spot

Trend setter PERIOD

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

momma t right there..

Facts

❤️❤️❤️

The Music industry will never be the same again without These artist : Usher Aaliyah MariahCarey Whitney H MJ Alicia keys Boys2men Men these young kids dont even know These were the times when real talent were appreciated ... Not like some newbies singing false tones with a funky beat and they get a pass on ...May she RIP

I love Aaliyah! and I feel that Frank Ocean has rekindled a similar spirit

word this mumble crap is taking over this era blows bring back 90's music pleaseeeeee

2 drake fans didn't like this video

It's not the same without aaliyah

Check out Aaliyah Prophesys At Aaliyah Haughton Forever in our Hearts on Facebook

They aint ish without her PERIOD... Stealing energy

Death of Michael maybe

They only push desirability, not proven talent and initiative sadly

😳 Mary J. Blige, TLC, SWV, Xscape were all wearing baggy clothes and street gear years before Aaliyah came along. She tried it. 😆

R&B is almost dead right now!

THIS IS NOT MISSY ELLIOTT

wow this doesn't look like missy E at all D:

I disagree. When Aaliyah came out a lot of female artists wore baggy clothes. I think Aaliyah’s style for the second album One In A Million is what set her a part. Her signature swoop over her left eye. I think Aaliyah singing style was different compared to other RB singers.

oh beyonce fans lol

its her eyes the puffed up due to illness im sure she would look the same if it didn't happen

Something did happen Missy you right ...R and B now days missing that ole fashion love....People rapping about just guns and money....and thots... that's the new hip hop...just diffrent...all the way....not to mentioned hip hop is more homosexulized now....not that I'm against gays.....I just think Everything has its place...hip hop was rugged back then in your face ...telling slick Rick stories....Letting you know about the gangsta paradise....by coolio you know...now its watered down

really listen to what she's saying....master spinner lol she's saying one thing meaning another
