@music__data@aaliyah I always hate being reminded of this date because I remember vividly taking my lunch break to purchase the cd at Tower Records. I’m reminded how it all turns out afterwards. Still hurts to this day. This album was EVERYTHING WE HADN’T IMAGINED!
21 years ago today, Missy Elliot released her last studio album ‘The Coobook.’
The LP debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 176K sold. It was nominated for two GRAMMYs, winning one and sold over 5 million units worldwide.
Firstly, these ladies look amazing in their all white. I want to thank my girls for taking out the time to work & rehearse to give Aaliyah the energy and tribute she deserved! 🤍💐
This is a thread of my reaction bc I’m seeing a lot of bickering on the tl, but I wanna show luv!
I love seeing Mya outside getting her flowers. These last few years have been beautiful to witness as a long time fan and supporter. She has stormed the BET Awards and The Boy Is Mine Tour - both with 11th hour notice.
She released ‘Retrospect’ with a new partnership via Virgin. It’s honestly her best work to date. AND, she just bodied a tribute to Aaliyah @ Essence Fest.
Keep in mind, Mya has been indie for the last almost two decades. The moves she makes are her own and not machine made.
So when you see her, you see HER. Not a team or a collective.
Sometimes all you need is the talent and the hard work. And if you’re unwilling to quit, you’re willing to win.

This is hilarious, Tamar doesn’t know how to be in a room with people she doesn’t like without speaking. Kandi is always gonna laugh at the awkwardness and Monica cannot fake it. (gtfo my face) 😭😂 #EssenceFest
