Before Rihanna's "Anti", Beyonce's "Lemonade", and SZA's "SOS" there was Aaliyah's self-titled album that took the risk and became the masterclass for sonic versatility.
The Red Album is the benchmark for genre-hopping and edgy projects #Aaliyah25
Aaliyah ROCKED that fucking boat! Didn’t she?!
I listened to “Rock The Boat” last night and almost went into praise and worship. Shout out to Keybeats!
Thank you for this beautiful honor and for trusting me with this tribute to celebrate our angel. This sacred moment will forever be etched in my heart 🕊️🤍 appreciate youuuu @MissyElliott
Love seeing #Aaliyah25 all over my timeline.
@MTV@vmas y’all got time to get this right for her too.
She was literally the belle of MTV for several years.
Please honor #Aaliyah this year in some capacity.
Specifically, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

“Words alone will never come close to describing what this beautiful and sacred moment meant to me. Growing up, Aaliyah completely shaped my perception of music, grace, style, and performance. So much of the blueprint she left behind is woven into my own artistry. To stand on that stage and honor her is a moment that will forever echo in my heart. Aaliyah, your spirit continues to transcend through generations, and your legacy is truly untouchable. I hope we made you proud baby girl 🕊️🤍”
