Why Did Aaliyah Turn Down Jay Z?

 

Wikipedia 

It is said Aaliyah didn’t want Jay Z. I only liked one or two of Jay Z’s songs. By the time he came along, I wasn’t into rap music much anymore. Today for the first time, I heard and saw Jay Z’s rap song. I saw the video Pimpin’. Look it up if you haven’t seen it. I’m wondering now was Jay Z anything like he said he was in those lyrics or was he just making up a rap song and playing the character. He said:

…. Parts with nothin', y'all be frontin' Me give my heart to a woman? Not for nothin', never happen I'll be forever mackin' Heart cold as assassins I got no passion I got no patience, and I hate waitin'….

It makes me wonder how Aaliyah met Jay Z and why she turned him down lol. If he is anything like his lyrics, no wonder she didn’t choose him. She must have found out about him and there were things she didn’t like in order to choose Damon Dash. And he was also in Jay Z’s video Pimpin’. Well, maybe they were just playing the characters. Acting is a part of singing too.

I be reading lyrics to songs, and I start asking myself, “Who taught these people to think this way? These guys don’t think nothing good about women. Where did they come from? Where have they been?”

I don’t like to judge people by their songs, but if it’s not their frame of mind, they wouldn’t be writing and putting it into their songs in the first place or bother to use it. I wouldn’t even be thinking about some of the stuff they are talking about. It’s just a lot of hind point lol. They only need one love, and they ain’t talking about love. Not at all.
