Before you speak about someone's body, before you speak about someone's face, before you decide who they are by what you see, remember, you are looking at someone's child. Someone's friend. Someone's dream.
Someone's life. A soul.

@Newzroom405 And they thought SA citizens were exaggerating when they said Nigerians are arrogant.

@_Bonga Whether he flew or took a bus or drove here before murders were announced. Why was SA his option in the first place ?

This wife + kids butcher runs to Johannesburg South Africa instead of Harare Zimbabwe! Holy Sh! How did he pass immigration to be in Kensington? @Leon_Schreib the must be answers. Why is so easy for criminals to enter our country?

@ManziniZungu_ @Leon_Schreib This indeed highlights our biggest issue which remains unaddressed.

[@ThandoLove @tndzums]

@SABCNews He chose the easiest country to get into. How many others are on the loose here ?

This humanitarian crisis is ignored by government, NGOs, unions, academics etc coz it affects black South Africans.

There are powerful groups that are working to keep as many black South Africans as poor and despondent as possible.

Has @MissyElliott ever said why “Where Could He Be?” with her & Tweet never got officially released and when it was recorded?

I would love to know the backstory. I assume it was recorded for the Aaliyah self-titled album.

This song could drop today and be a hit.

[ERIC LAMONT @BlameEricLamont]

Celebrating Aaliyah’s final album, self titled: AALIYAH aka THE RED ALBUM, will be bittersweet for all time.

She was on such a critical and commercial high. Two multiplatinum albums. A platinum soundtrack. A hit movie. Filming her next two movies. Signed on for several new film projects. She was having her moment. This was her first studio album in FIVE years.

She relaunched on the heels of Romeo Must Die, an era that saw her nab a hit movie and several hit singles, including the first song to ever go #1 off airplay alone: TRY AGAIN.

Led by “We Need A Resolution”, this album felt like a personal page pulled from her diary. While not a writer, Aaliyah had a team of her own writers to custom build songs for her. She wasn’t just handed material. WNAR didn’t set the charts on fire like her previous hits, but it still reset the culture visually and sonically. It hadn’t been done before.

“More Than A Woman” was next in line until “Rock The Boat” produced by Eric Seats and Rapture, written by Static, started to become the standout on radio.

Not only did AALIYAH become a blueprint for futuristic R&B/Pop/Urban Pop, it showed you who Aaliyah was as a grown ass woman.

I often think of what a world tour would have been like and a full rollout for the era.

We know how the story ends.

Aaliyah was truly just beginning and that’s why so many of us to this day still feel cheated. But, she left behind a timeless, classic, masterpiece which set the tone for many acts that followed the next 25 years.

Fun Facts:

“I Care 4 U” was originally written for her second album by @MissyElliott but the album was mastered. IC4U was saved another 5 years for self titled.

WNAR was originally titled “Sposed To Change”

Production for the album originally began in 1998 but paused for Aaliyah’s film career. She resumed in 2000, filming Queen Of The Damned by day, recording at night.

Baby Girl WANTED THIS. Won’t ever be another.

Long Live The Queen Of Urban Pop & The Princess Of R&B.

[bishop was right. @ronniessance]

Aaliyah will forever be that girl. whether if you believe that she’s popular because of her passing or whatever… she’s still been in the conversation for almost 30 years.

she is a legend, whether you want to admit it or not.

[@ThandoLove @tndzums]

@succkmydique @marcdeshaun_ Granted...but bcoz we miss Aaliyah it's highly recognized and appreciated
