Rashad posted this today... I feel like he says something every other year or so, yet nothing ever materializes...

This newly leaked interview is currently my everything. Just a perfection. She so calm, down to earth, polite & witty in it. I swear there's no people like her in the biz these days. But there is that one moment when she joked about the Oscars that just gave me the chicken skin... She said... So I hope I'll be there [again] in another life one day. I wonder if at that time she already had that dream about flying & being free that haunted her for a long time before she passed away... \

She was such a gem...a beautiful soul. I can listen to her speak all day. So calming.
I put "Aaliyah" on at work today from start to finish. Can't be said enough, a true masterpiece.

Every song gives me life on that album. "I Can Be" is beyond epic.

Whenever one of her songs come on shuffle on my iPod I play them on repeat at least 3 times. Her discography is beyond amazing.

So it's June and, unsurprisingly, Rashad's tweet has turned into a whole lotta nothing

Today marks 14 years since our baby girl released her final studio album... I feel so old rn. It was the 2nd album that I played the most often growing up. Only The Velvet Rope bit this... Still sounds so fresh, edgy & unique.

Why don't they have officially have any of her videos on YouTube? There's just one of her albums up on spotify. What's up with that?

I think my favorite album is One In A Million. The title track, 4 Page Letter, Come Over (!), Everything's Gonna Be Alright, Never Givin' Up...

Blackground is officially defunct, but there's litigation with the company that acquired Blackground's catalog and other parties which is keeping Blackground's back catalog off of basically all music services (sadly for the fans).

Is that the reason her CDs are so hard to find nowadays?

Yup, nobody is printing Aaliyah CDs or licensing them to put on digital and streaming outlets.
Age Ain't Nothing But a Number was also on Jive so they prb have the ability to license it considering that's the only album to be found.

The best gift to fans would be to put all her music on iTunes and streaming services and release some sort of commerative greatest hits along with all her music videos. No new music is even necessary. Next year will make 15 years since she left us poor earthlings.

I'd still get behind a new project from her. I always forget how much unused material she left behind, but I assume it's enough to rework into an album since the idea has been talked about so much since she's passed.

I still feel so teased because of that one 15 second Instagram clip Drake posted that was meant to be the follow-up single to "Enough Said." It was classic Aaliyah and pure fire in terms of production, but two and a half years later I suppose it's safe to say it'll never leak now.

It just frustrates me that Blackground is so pathetic that they can't honor her properly. Aaliyah is literally an urban legend, but her memory isn't nearly as prolific as it could, would, or should be because even before going defunct Blackground let her catalog go out of print, never had her on iTunes or streaming services, had a ton of material they could have released posthumously but didn't, etc. We're not going to talk about that abomination of a Lifetime movie which was already 10+ years too late and then had the nerve to be a POS romanticizing of a child molester. That doesn't count at ALL.
I would even be down for an Aaliyah tribute where the artists most often compared to her sang her songs and people who got a chance to work with her were there to say something for her. Not that any of those performers would be as good as or better than Aaliyah (that's generally how tributes work, rarely do the students outshine the teacher) but God, just to preserve her memory and draw attention to how far her influence extends. She deserves that much.
