Who brought out the best in Aaliyah? Timbaland or R. Kelly?

I been listing to ginuwine’s albums for the first time and had a song featuring Aaliyah. She did her thing

Timberland and Aaliyah were like the perfect singer/producer duo. Everything he made for her was heat. It's crazy what she could have become had she lived.

R. Kelly gave her classic traditional R&B (similar to his own sound from that time period), but Timbaland gave her not only classics but her own unique sound.

Timbo wins off this alone



Nothing was sounding like that at the time

aaliyah and r kelly is timeless music
timbaland's sh!t was fresh at the time, but i don't go back to it

i say this as someone who wasn't a big r kelly fan
but i can still go back and listen to aaliyah's first album

Static Major brought out the best in Aalyiah's music.

E Kelly made some good stuff with her, but Timbo took her to the next level.

This is how I feel as well.

I respect the work she did with Timbaland but I always thought her best music was made with R. Kelly. That first album is tainted but that shyt is a classic at the core of it. The title track itself is probably the smoothest track in her catalog.

Aaliyah’s career was on the decline when she passed. She has some classics but people love overstating her popularity. Her posthumous album barely went platinum at a time when artist were doing numbers. Aaliyah wasn’t a great singer, she couldn’t dance, and her stage performances were low energy and underwhelming to say the least.

The nikka who groomed/raped her or the one who loved her in his head? What kinda thread is this
