This was absolute prime Beyoncé. She looked her absolute best when she was in that wack ass Carmen movie on MTV around that time:

Probably Listen
I can see her writing Bootylicious though.
Edit: It was for the deep and complex lyrics of “Independent Women Part I,” “Jumpin Jumpin” and “Survivor.” Might as well had gave it to Afroman for Cause I Got High
Also, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Like Aaliyahs records were so complex and deep lol.... yall try too hard
Uncle was probably just trying to use Beys name for clout
But it's not far fetched she coulda helped Aaliyah with a hook, melodies, vocal arrangements which counts as song writing


She has to be. Beyonce is 39 years old and Aaliyah's first album came out in 1994... 27 years ago.It's settled OP. Beyoncé the GOAT
First of all At your Best (Age Ain't Nuthin but a Number album) was released in 1994 when Beyonce was 12 and is deeper than anything she has ever done in her life. That whole album had a depth that was leagues beyond Jumpin Jumping. Second of all, you telling me a Texas high school kid named Beyonce was specifically picked to ghost write songs for Aaliyah, and then went on to write for nobody else. Third of all R. Kelly.... Missy Elliot... Timbaland![]()

I love Beyonce, but this is just stupid.
Thats her industry ageThat’s an Isley Bros cutFirst of all At your Best (Age Ain't Nuthin but a Number album) was released in 1994 when Beyonce was 12 and is deeper than anything she has ever done in her life.
Flawless executionYou know this a lie, Beyonce can't read or write.![]()
Aaliyahs lyrical content was standard rnb fare for early to late 90s
And who said Bey wrote on Age Ain't Nothing But A Number
Who said Bey was chosen to be her ghost writer .... I didnt...her unc didnt
The track(s) they worked on could have been unreleased... Coulda been a simple suggestion regarding a melody or hook that she didnt want credit for
Destiny's Child worked with Missy alot in their early career. Also Tim and Static. Not farfetched to believe DC and Aaliyah ran into each other in the studio...they were friendly
Bey been in the biz since 14, 15 and has been heavily involved in the writing of her records ...so it goes beyond DC's Jumpin, jumpin and Bootylicious
She has also helped to write for other artist
