Blu Cantrell?...she was a one hit wonder...u comparing Aaliyah to her?..u nikkas is crazy..lol...by the time Aaliyah died she was like 8 years in the game...Tommy Hilfiger model...several multiplatinum albums and contributed to the success of one of the biggest producers in the game...as well as movies...Blu Cantrell?..lmao..
All jokes aside, her death was tragic and sad.
Everytime hear Jada's "We Gon' Make It", I think of Aaliyah's death. I had that song on repeat and my sister knocked on my door and said "you know Aaliyah died in a plane crash?"

Come on brah...that Timbo and Missy sound carried her.
Everything they fukked w/ sold back then.
Selena represented a whole fukking area of the world...yea, she had a bigger impact.
Im not saying Aaliyah didnt deserve a movie...but people expecting something different out of a Lifetime movie are being silly.
And if a major studio doesnt want to make a Aaliyah movie its because there isnt that much demand for it.
If they knew they could make money, they would do it.
Missy Elliot had a bigger career than Aaliyah...you think they are going to make a movie about her?
There is no epic story to be told w/ Aailyah.
Her fam was in the music industry, they put her on to R Kelly...and then she got w/ the hottest Producer/Songwriters in the game.
End of story.

Beyonce is a decent dancer now but she was terrible when she first came out.She was never seeing Aaliyah with dancing. I'll give you Beyonce on vocals but not performance wise. Beyonce is a poor example to use for orginality. She ripped an entire album (B Day ) from AmerieAaliyah was an exention from Janet, with Janet being the tree, Aaliyah as a branch with her own twist and the rest of these current acts as leaves with their own twist and that includes Beyonce.
How was her style ripped from xscape and swv?

ur wrong...first off...Timbo and Missy wasn't "hot" when she wanted to fukk wit them...she HELPED their success g...she didn't jump on after..she had her own style that alotta females gravitated to...and if Missy died tomorrow in a tragic accident...yes..I believe they would make a movie about her...and she would deserve one...

Ehh,i dont know bro,yea tlc had been in it 10,but aaliyah had been in it 7.get over what? you mad because i dont condone revisionist history? and why single me out like im the only one? people are crushing your childhood nostalgia all thru this thread. it aint just me.
and i never said aaliyah wasnt loved. she just wasnt loved on the level that yall are trying to place her. nowhere near. lol. is there no in-between with you people? i guess im not allowed to be objective about someone that you feel some type of way about? SMH. no wonder yall let these young buls and lil white kids take over the board. you niccas like to sit around and hold your tongue. i cant live that life.
of course aaliyah's death was one of the saddest. you dont even have to like her to feel that pain. i got choked up at the end of the movie WHILE I WAS SERVIN YALL UP IN THIS THREAD, and they didnt even show any scenes involving the crash. they didnt have to. it was THAT SAD. she was a 22 year old female singer with a good-girl image who died in a plane crash. i cant think of many celebrity deaths that were more tragic than that, if any at all.......so whats your point?
the left eye comparison is horrible. TLC was old school when left eye died. you act as if left eye died during TLC's run.meanwhile, aaliyah was 22 years old and had a brand-new album, new videos and a new movie about to drop. yea, her album wasnt doing well when she died(and the movie flopped too), but the the ink wasnt dry on her larry holmes papers, so alot of people easily glossed over that. HORRIBLE COMPARISON. we gonna compare aaliyah's death to big bank hank next?
i wasnt wrong about chit nicca. you just dont know what youre talking about. missy was all over the radio that summer before aaliyah's album dropped. AND she was down with bad boy. who yall think told puff to take styles p off benjamins? NICCA SHE HAD JUST DID A JOINT WITH NEW EDITION!!!!! and aaliyah's album wasnt even selling like that until months later when they dropped the "one in a million" single, as opposed to ginuwine, who blew up huge fresh out the gate with PONY, which was bigger than all that aaliyah stuff.

and that's the funny shyt about it...nikkas wouldn't be caught dead saying this shyt about Janet...yet Janet NEVER had a strong voice...and ALWAYS worked with dope producers herself...now im not saying Aaliyah was on Janet's level at all...but some of the criticisms these nikkas is tryna throw at her are retarded...

nikka said Toni wasn't on her levelhow long before camron gets on twitter and addresses this movie?
they def used cam & juelz as the templates for those 2 dudes that dame yelled at over the broken vase. them niccas wasnt even on the roc yet.
and man, dont get me started on this dame dummy they got up here. dude is dry as fidduck. they did his face well tho. they even have those marks on his face.
they didnt mention her dating jay-z before that tho.
actually, i think this movie is perfect for lifetime.
and this isnt a bad movie by that channel's standards. its your typical lifetime movie.
im just laughing at people expecting anything more than this. and lets not single me out like im the only one doing this. dont be a dikkeater.
ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH THIS CHIT!!!??

When 1 in a Milion dropped people were talking about the beat.
Everybody in school could make that beat w/ their hands.
Im not saying Missy and Timbo were hot at the time...im saying they were the talent.
It was Missy writing the songs, and Timbalands beats that carried her.
The proof is in the pudding...they kept on making hits w/o her.
She didnt carry them, they carried her.
Look at all the nobodies thay made hits for.
Was there anyone hotter than R Kelly/Missy/Timbaland in the 90s?
You cant lose w/ that team.

but son..she took a CHANCE with them when they was nobodies..I never said she CARRIED them..I said she HELPED them get out there...it's a damn fact...there's no denying it...also...Aaliyah had her own swag that stood out...people gravitated towards her as well...especially the females...there's PLENTY of singers who were extremely successful from linking up with hot producers...why single Aaliyah out like that was a bad thing?..that's stupid..she wasn't going wit the hot shyt at the time..she was going with what she felt sounded great...when no one was really fukkin wit it...

and for everybody talkin bout Beyoncé...Beyoncé damn near owes her solo success to Amerie...she stole her shyt TWICE...Amerie released All I Have(which is a personal classic to me by the way) and Beyoncé stole her producer Rich Harrison and replicated that sound for her Crazy In Love album...then Amerie switched it up for her next album wit that DC go go style and what did Beyoncé do?..turn around and stole that sound as well for her B Day album....even stole some of Amerie's vocal stylings...
