30 years ago, Aaliyah ushered in a new sound that was FUTURISTIC and DISTINCTIVE. She had her own sound..Her SMOOTH vocals & choreography complemented every beat. “One in a Million”wasn’t just an album; it was ART & a MASTERPIECE
A BODY of WORK that, til this day, feels FRESH & NEW, & studied by many great artists today🙌🏾
Aaliyah legacy is 4ever🕊️🫶🏾
I just told a friend this early. There’s no space for Teens to be teens anymore. We had teen music, teen choice awards, teen related shows, teen magazine. That era is essential and today is just… overlooked.
I’ve been reminding myself lately to not forget about my dreams & aspirations. Adult life can make things feel so monotonous. Having something to look forward to is so important.
I’ve known my new roommate all of two days and he just knocked on my door to give me some turkey and black eyed peas over rice w/greens for new years 😭
People are upset about this but this explains why many people have a distant relationship with ‘dad’s side’ of the family. You actually need a parent who is invested in facilitating those bonds for them to happen.
People need reflection.
I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.
You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.
