Timbaland, Missy Elliot, VH1 Blasts Lifetime Aaliyah Biopic

[JustCKing]

weigh the sales?

her sales were mindblowing breh.





ehh. missy was the only dark-skinned person casted as light.

the r.kelly casting is hillarious tho.





her death did way more to mold her legacy than her music.

what story did they have to work with in the 1st place?




you know darn well this isnt movie-worthy material breh.

we braggin about top-billing in bullchit movies now?

You actually have to have a legacy established before your death actually matters especially in regard to music.

I mean it may not have been a great dramma filled story, but damn it should atleast been a feel good movie, with a ........... What ever i aint watch and didnt plan on it anyway, what can you expect when the family had NOTHING to do with this..

 

[Wacky D]

That's why it's mind boggling that people claim Aaliyah was a nobody before her death. Like people all of a sudden started to like her music after she died. The only difference her death made was that she got a sales boost of the album that was released just weeks before she died. It wasn't like she went from selling next to nothing to 10 million copies after she died. That album was on its way to Gold before the crash and eventually went double platinum (basically what she was selling with her previous two).

nobody even insinuated that aaliyah was a nobody.

she just wasnt anywhere near what yall are trying to make her out to be in hindsight.

I was in high school when her second album dropped chicks were rocking the hair over one eye she was known for, this wasnt in the u.s it was in canada

i guess lifetime is gonna do a movie on kelis next.

whos gonna play nas?

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

breh she was getting top billing in movies, she was part of a crew who emerged with their own sound(granted she wasn't producing or writing )
she was getting awards and accolades before her death

Exactly. That's why it's pointless to say her life wasn't movie worthy. It was eventful enough to make a mockery of a movie out of it.

Her story itself didn't have the typical struggle to success, the personal turmoil (drugs, alcohol, depression, mental instability, family drama), the epic fall off, the comeback/redemption elements that make biopics about musicians great.

People aren't insinuating anything. Aaliyah was a star. Was she the Beyonce, Diana Ross, or Mariah Carey of her time? No, but she carved out her own legacy in music that was both impactful and influential to the point where have artists like Drake, J. Cole, and a plethora of female R&B artists (Beyonce included) still citing her as an influence on them.

 

[the cac mamba]

VH1 has a lot of nerve to talk shyt about another channel's biopic.

fukk u talkin about

 

[Nino Soprano]

This chick Lolita Price should play Aaliyah if they make another movie, a more well written and better casted movie



It's scary how much shorty resembles baby girl

Lifetime & Wendell Williams should be ashamed of themselves

 

[nineteeneightysix]

@ the way they casted missy.

but really tho, did anybody expect a good movie anyway? theres nothing movie-worthy about aalyiah's story aside from her sexcapades. they need to just be happy that she got a flick.

That's BS...

A good writer can make ANY life "movie-worthy"...People say "if they wrote a book about your life, would any body read it?" The answer is, if the book is well written...Many people would read it, and interpret it their own way...

 

[FreshAIG]

People claiming Aaliyah wasn't a big deal before her death are either trolling or young. She was extremely popular, probably the most popular female R&B singer at the time not named Mariah Carey.

Missy should be grateful she wasn't casted as Cheryl Underwood,and got the nerve to complain

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

life imitates art

her legacy wouldnt be half as big as it was if she was alive. an aaliyah movie would never even be a thought if her death wasnt sensationalized.

TLC on the other hand, wouldve had a movie regardless of whether or not left eye died.

big difference.

Exactly. That's why it's pointless to say her life wasn't movie worthy. It was eventful enough to make a mockery of a movie out of it.

Her story itself didn't have the typical struggle to success, the personal turmoil (drugs, alcohol, depression, mental instability, family drama), the epic fall off, the comeback/redemption elements that make biopics about musicians great.

so you listed a bunch of things that the movie lacked but didnt bother to mention one quality that the movie actually included.

thanks for proving my point.

 

[I AM WE ARE]

i'm gone leave this here


if they did a shytty beyonce movie mfs would be burning lifetime down right now


to the people hating on aaliyah's impact/talent/ whatever stop it just stop it go to youtube and listen to her music fukk what she did personally behind closed doors who in the industry doesn't have dirty laundry but i would like to see people that actually know about the person and know how to make a film do these instead of fans

this shyt was as bad as dragonball z
