The Era that Redeemed Aaliyah (One in a Million) is a video I really enjoyed.

Music Industry Sounds Complex

 

When I think about Aaliyah, it appeared that she was very successful. But does it mean that she was successful? 

Aaliyah's career was largely controlled by her uncle, Barry Hankerson, and his label ‘Blackground Records’ . She signed her first contract with Blackground at a very young age. 

Did she get any of the money? I hear about groups like New Edition that fail to get paid any money off of their hit songs like Candy Girl. I wonder about Aaliyah. 

 Did Blackground Records owe her millions in unpaid royalties from her album sales, particularly from her massive hits 'One in a Million' (1996) and the self-titled 'Aaliyah' (2001)? If she didn't get paid, I can see why a singing career can be so tiresome. 

 When I heard about Aaliyah and Blackground Records, I heard about other record companies. I heard Blackground had a production deal with Atlantic Records. Aaliyah was working with Timbaland and Missy Elliot. 

Before Aaliyah died, it is said that she wasn’t speaking to anyone. From what I can detect from her dream that she said she had, I think she was very tired. In the music industry, things sound very complex, and I thought I wanted to go in that direction.

Whitney Thanked Aaliyah for Holding Down the Fort

 

Based on her 2001 BET Awards acceptance speech, Whitney Houston thanked Aaliyah for "holding down the fort," not the "fork". At the time of the first BET Awards in June 2001, Aaliyah was recognized as a top-tier artist holding her own among industry legends.

You Remember Aaliyah? Remember Christ

 

Sometimes Christ starts in your dreams. Some people do not know the spiritual side of life and what they have in Christ. We need to start learning.

It’s fine to remember Aaliyah, what we want to be, and what we want to do, but we need to remember Christ. His coming is getting closer.

In 1 Corinthians 3:16, the verse calls believers the temple of God, where the Spirit of God dwells.

The Closer you get to God, the more he works on your inner sight. He starts revealing His presence.

Fasting & Praying  brings about the mysteries and power of the LORD.

Romeo Must Die

 

 

Romeo Must Die is an awesome movie. I watched it many times from televison. When I first watched it, I wanted to see more movies from Aaliyah with Jet Li. Romeo Must Die was really Awesome.

Aaliyah Try Again Video

 

 

 Aaliyah's video starring Jet Li was really awesome. We are blessed to have this video and her movie starring Jet Li: Romeo Must Die.

The Aaliyah Effect

 Hip Hop Minor Key

You see it all the time, the same snapshots of the baby girl, Aaliyah. The same clips, the same sounds. And we spin 'em, don't we? We gotta! We spin 'em to keep the flame burning, to keep that legacy alive and kicking.

 But here's the real scoop, the real gas: it's the *stories* that fuel the fire. Every fan, every kid who ever got a picture with her, has a story. A true story! A thought. An opinion. *That's* the new stuff. That's what keeps her music fresh in our hearts....
