The way Aaliyah was still in high school, maintaining and graduating with a 4.0 GPA while having a double platinum album under her belt after being blackballed is so impressive - her work ethic is so underrated

Aaliyah’s eyebrows being ahead of her time, when pencil thin and over plucked brows were popular in the 2000s. She had the CEO of Anastasia Beverly Hills shape them for her. Her eyebrow style became popular in the 2010s.

Her style on the red carpet aging the best, cohesive and not having a very dated look during the 2000s (especially since some of the fashion then kinda looked rough)

She did this at the age of 15 and inspired many of the teen acts that came after her.
30 years ago, Aaliyah released her debut single “Back & Forth” . • The single peaked at #5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and #1 for 3 weeks on the Hot R&B/HipHop Songs chart. • The single was certified Gold and sold over 700K+ copies (no recent update)

@N3HEARTBREAK And he said Aaliyah was like a white girl… Aaliyah would’ve left his ass if she were still here.

This honestly explains why her album didn’t sound dated, she wasn’t chasing trending producers at the time and wanted her album to stand out from the mainstream ones.
Aaliyah went from producers not wanting to work with her to her declining their demos 🤣

These Garbz don’t give a damn about Aaliyah being a victim, they are just using her as a gotcha moment to deflect who Nicki is married to.

@jadorejontele Yall just be saying anything! Aaliyah sold more than Monica, her sales were neck and neck with Brandys. Her stand alone projects did do well with her sophomore album selling more and going double platinum after being blamed and black balled from the R.K*lly situation!!.

@jojox9581 @1814JOSH She would, she had a 8 year contract with Warner Bros., had a fashion line with Kidada planned, was ready to record with some of the biggest Rock/NuMetal artists, had Whitney cast her for Sparkle and was already casted for the Matrix sequels!! None of her peers were doing this!!.
