Aaliyah’s Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number turns 24 today.

[TheDarkCloud]

all these albums older than you.

I’ll be 30 in September.

How old are you?

and you post like youre 10.
so you were an overly-sheltered weird 12-year old, who prolly didn't listen to music yet hen Aaliyah died........and that's assuming that youre telling the truth(and I doubt that you are).

youre not in a position to question me on here. ask around and do your homework.
I was posting on this forum when Aaliyah was alive, btw.

I was big on Aaliyah, Janet, Mary J, and Nas. Those were my favorite artists back then.

No reason to lie. None of you know me. I had self titled in hand when it came out summer ‘01. Circuit City was right across the street from me. No More Drama was the other album I was pressed over that summer.

You have no idea.

and yet, you still have no cognizance of what was going on outside of your fan-dom.....despite being 12-13.

you should be ashamed of yourself.

I didn’t like this album to be honest aside from like a couple tracks


One in a Million is the classic

I was surprised to see how many people think this is her best album. Never heard anyone say that until I came to the Coli. Then on IG, a few people were saying her best musical chemistry was with the Kells.

Idk.

24 huh?

THATS A SLOW BURN YOU DUMB F*CK. she was an established act and her song was all over TV & radio. she should've went gold quicker than that.

Ginuwine was a new artist with less promotion on a lesser label.
Aaliyah had a hype machine and was coming off a multi-plat album.
also, you cant judge impact off of just sales. we didnt even follow sales like yall do nowadays. Ginuwine was indeed the bigger act once he got his footing. it was especially apparent when they were out on the same tour.

AGAIN YOU WERENT AROUND.
YOU PROLLY WERENT EVEN ALIVE.
STOP BEING A DIKKHEAD ALL YOUR LIFE. YOURE NEVER GONNA GET LAID AT THIS RATE.

Ginuwine was not on a lesser label. Ginuwine was lablemates with Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey.

Ginuwine had several singles, television appearances, etc. promoting his album nearly a year after it was released. The following were singles with accompanying videos:

Pony
Pony remix
Tell Me
I'll Do Anything
Only When You're Lonely
Holler
When Doves Cry




Ginuwine was not the bigger act.

Aaliyah's debut was not multi-platinum. One In A Million is Aaliyah's most successful album.

lol. youre so full of chit.
he was under the same parent label as mike & mariah, but he was signed to the 550 music subsidiary with acts like men of vision.

you listed all those singles, but only two of them got a real push.

and yea, he was bigger than Aaliyah. case in point, he got way stronger reactions whenever they were in the same venue. the people have spoken.

Ay @Homeboy Runny-Ray I know you saw this post... you just gonna go AWOL huh?

no. I just saw the post just now, and responded to it immediately.

sorry I don't live on the internet.

you can put your poms-poms down now.

You ain't about to move goal posts. Don't come in here talking about 550 Music. Jon B. and Celine Dion were on that label. They werw Ginuwines labelmates as well. Additonally, if you want to play the game of subsidiaries, Blackground Records was smaller than 550. Aside from Aaliyah, there wasn't any stars on that label until it acquired Toni Braxton in 2004.

All of those singles got a push, they just weren't nearly as successful as "Pony". All were released as CD singles, maxi and cassette with a video.

There is nothing that quantifies Ginuwine being bigger than Aaliyah. For starters, her songs were carrying soundtracks and Ginuwine had songs on the same soundtracks and one of them was a single.

are you implying that jon b was bigger the Ginuwine??
didn't know celine dion was on that label. shes not an r&b artist tho. Ginuwine didn't benefit.

blackground may have been smaller than 550. I honestly don't know much about 550, seeing that it didn't have that much of an impact on r&b.
besides, Ginuwine didn't have an uncle who owned the label like Aaliyah did on blackground. regardless of which label is bigger, he didn't have the same machine. and he was still more popular.

and I already listed multiple reasons why Ginuwine was bigger than Aaliyah. while you just ignore it and repeat yourself. at best, you list some random industry chit like "she got a soundtrack single".

Aaliyah was kid chit breh. and she wasn't kriss kross or brandy level of kid chit.

If this song was 10 years younger, R Kelly would try to fukk it.

 

[TheDarkCloud]

but rkelly wrote it.... and he is cancelled? make up yall minds

I didn’t cancel him.

I just don’t fukk with him.

Can’t deny the talent, either way.
