Truth but that wasn't her fault. I don't think there was any ill intent on Tim's behalf when he said that. He really loves Aaliyah and I don't think he would lie about a dream about her "speaking to him." Yes, it turned out to be a bad career move for Tim to say that out loud because naturally it posed Tink against Aaliyah and, obviously, nobody's having that. I just think he had a vision for her and his dream confirmed that so his passion and good intentions led to bad things. It's actually kind of sad. At least Tink was able to recover sonically, and still remain in touch with Tim. RIP BABY GIRL
Exactly he is a big hater and was a clown for coming at Nicki like that when she featured on many songs with him which she didn’t have to do as she is definitely the more popular artist. I don’t like his energy.
Rick Ross was a pure hater! She outshined him on that track. For Jay to be fine with it, and him have an issue with it is comical. It was on his album, so whats the issue, it's still yours.
Jay z is the king pen and always love giving shine to female rappers on his own tracks like lil Kim, amli, M.I.A., Nicki Minaj and rapsody who he been promoting more as he signed her to roc nation. Jay has a nache for Female MCs
There's definitely colorism discrimination going on against black female rappers bc we heard this story before with MIA, dej loaf, kamiyah, dreezy and cupcake among others
Mr Boxing Tink is actually a very talented artist, her music just might not be for you. Also, what she is saying is true: the music industry is colorist. You can say something is colorist without it being an issue. She has an amazing personality along with her talent. Another thing, if you feel the need to be negative towards what another person believes, it would probably be best if you left the comment section. Thank you and have a blessed day.
I don’t want to live in a world where ppl like Rick Ross and Iggy made it mainstream and Tink didn’t. If I think too hard about it my blood starts to boil fr, Rick Ross ain’t shit.
The thing with Aaliyah is her immediate family doesn’t own her music rights, her uncle does and he refuses to give her mother and brother those rights and I think he even lost the rights to another company. Hence why they’re not on streaming platforms. Really gotta be careful even with your family.
De'Ajah Tyler Yep just looked it up Reservoir. They own 50% of her music if I’m not mistaken which is why so many rappers and singers have been able to use her vocals and unreleased material. All that and they still can’t just give the rights to her family smh.
It's heartbreaking families would move like that. Thank God my family doesn't operate that way. We'd rather split a loaf of bread than keep it to ourself and eat all week. It's levels to that crab mentality though. Unfortunately it's a remnant of slavery engrained in our way of thinking.
I feel like it’s a curse when someone in the industry says “aaliyah spoke to me and said she’s the one”. The same happened to JoJo and although she’s able to now put out new music & it’s good, these artists somehow lose out on their opportunity to be bigger than they’re suppose to be as an artist.
Yea jojo’s entire career exist because aaliyah’s uncle reminded her of aaliyah and signed her to blackground records which had several legal and bankruptcy issues (which is why many albums and artists like jojo were stuck with blackground)
I don't think she was trying to be the next Aaliyah at all. I think Tim set her up for that but it's nothing wrong with being inspired by someone who paved a way for artists like her. I love her Winter's Diary mixtape tho
Aries Magnolia Aries Magnolia No she wasn’t at all. Tink is in her own lane. But Tim throwing that out there didn’t help her. People are really biased when it comes to Aaliyah, and to even insinuate that she could be the next. It rubbed some people the wrong way. Not me though lol I love her!
Also to add I feel like Timberland unconsciously sabotaged her career by forcing Tink on established artists and trying to introduce her to a new audience.... it was very forced and and inorganic... I really wish he would’ve just chilled and let develop as an artist on her own 🤦🏽♀️
TRUTH. Rick Ross could have easily helped get her black balled because of what TIMBERLAND did. I know he wanted her to succeed and he saw her gifts but not many men are built like Kanye West allowing a woman, let alone a newcomer whose dark skin kill their track and outshine them
I feel he was tryna help her. I truly believe the artist didnt like her look. She darked skin they rather have her behind the scenes. I really hate the world is this way. Black is beautiful in all shades
LadyIsTheChamp no they are not 😂😂 stop making excuses for real problems 🥵 . They ALL admitted that they experienced colorism !! They are not on the mainstream never been ☠️ if you watch their interviews and shit you’ll know because they even said that they are not where they want to be in they career because their skin tone 😒 . Take several seat cause you not ready for this type of convo
LadyIsTheChamp and you’re light skin you will NEVER know in a million years no matter how much chocolate females express it , you will never ever know what’s it’s like being told your too dark for this and that , you’re not pretty enough or either your pretty for a dark girl 😤😂 anyways like I said take several seats you wouldn’t understand nor are you ready for this civilized, serious non childish convo
I don't like how Tink has been treated by these Men in the industry. I'm disappointed that Rick Ross ain't give Tink an opportunity. He sounds arrogant. She just gon have to carve her own spot & that's just fine, b/c they'll have to respect her 🙌🏾
Just Ty true dude lied about being a huge drug dealer when he worked for years as a prison officer, has not promoted wale on his label as he does for meek mill and said he won’t sign a female rapper to his label unless he sleeps with her he’s a huge fraud
I love Tink she’s so talented and her music since she got out of her bad contract has been even better! Nobody I listen to has a vibe like Tink it’s such a shame she got f’d over how she did but some artists are better off indie anyway. Look at Tinashe too she got out of her bad deal and her latest mixtape is one of her best projects to date.
I haven’t checked for Tinashe in a while, since “Aquarius”. I need to go see what she’s been up to. I have every single project that Tink has on Spotify though
GoldenBaby Tinashe’s mixtapes pre-Aquarius were amazing I’m sure you would enjoy them - but like someone else mentioned definitely check out songs for you! Yes, Tink is one of my faves I have all her projects too 💜
Idc idc idc, Tink is over everybody!! They need to give her more credit. Her vocals, her pen game is stellar. PS wd4 is the best mixtape she put out. Aquafina is the best song hands down
We can speculate all we want but we know what happened to her. She’s a dark skinned woman and we live in a colorist society and it’s only getting worse with our babies growing up in the world. They don’t even want dark skinned or black women anymore because of what they see on tv and watching their favorite rappers in the videos. She’s extremely talented but if they could somehow make her light skinned they’d market her so quick because she sings and raps! So sad.
I wish yall would stop pushing that narrative when it doesn't fit.megan is brown skin,Remy ma is brown skin,aliyah was brown skin,so was lil kim,foxy and mc lite,I'm not even going to add queen Latifah because she was a heavyweight brown skin girl and she was accepted.its plenty of truly light skin artist like tiny,faith evans,shit even sade that doesn't and will never get the respect that a Patti labelle,gladys knight or Aretha Franklin gets.i wish you women you push this " light skin is favored" movement would just let it go and love yourself. You constantly try to convince the world that black men favor lighter skin when we love dark skin women as well.i could never date a white women but that doesn't mean I'm willing to accept the bs that SOME black women bring
Right. These comments talm about her comparison to Aaliyah was why she didn’t blow up is just wrong point blank. EVERY female singer gets compared to Aaliyah so that’s cap on that being the major reason. The only reason she ain’t where she deserves to be is because of colorism. Now had tink came out around now, more ppl would be willing to work with her prolly because dark skin is on the come up. But all this “it’s cus he pushed her too hard to be Aaliyah” shit is nonsense.
Same here I remember when tell the children came out I thought it was the perfect momentum for her to really blow it was a great anthem during the shootings of trayvon Martin and mike Brown
You forgot the part where Timberland failed to tell her he was going threw drug addiction and hid it from his artist while they can't figure out why he wasn't focus on helping their careers
Her album Hopeless Romantic was so good! Timbaland seems like he just be jumping the gun sometimes. I forgot what even happened, but his situation with a new Bryson Tiller also didn’t exactly work out. Thankfully, they have been able to find their own footing. He definitely turned people off with pushing her as his “new Aaliyah”.
I really like Tink, her ratchet commandments song is dope. Timbaland messed her up when he sampled Aaliyah’s song tho, he shouldn’t have done that. Just like I think no rapper should touch Tupac’s music it’s just very very touchy. She deserves so much more though, but personally I wasn’t feeling the Aaliyah sample. I think Tink is good enough to have her own sound, Timbaland should’ve gave her a unique sound like he did with Nelly furtado & MIA
excaliber true but it was totally different than when Timbaland came in & gave her a new sound. Listen to her albums before she hooked up w Timbaland & created Loose. Totally different sound. He gave her the popularized sound that propelled her career.
Liquid Bijoux who said it can’t? I said it’s very very touchy which is why I don’t think they should. They def Can if they want to, Kehlani just did on her new project & it’s a dope song. I just think for Tink I personally didn’t like the song & think she deserved better than a sample, Timbaland could’ve gave her a unique sound. Just my opinion.
The problem was they were calling her the next Aaliyah and nothing about her says aaliyah...not musically, visually or anything!! She's talented and cute though. I don't really like Rick Ross 🙄
I think rick Ross was hating cause he didn’t won’t no women on the track. He just wanted him Jay. I think that she had a great deal of work and dedication towards her music everyone should always get a chance to live out their dreams. Reality is wrong, dreams are for real
@@truthspeaks281 There were women dancing before her, she had a style that was normal for the 90s, and how do you know that was her hair. Even if it was or wasn't so what? Janet Jackson and Mya both sang and danced.
@@jackiejill9040 Aaliyah has always had long real hair. There are scenes of behind the music where you see it's her hair. Her hairstylist always bragged about it. I said her dance routines. I know that people danced before her. Also she wore her hair over her eyes which people started to do. What else makes her iconic is she been gone almost 20 years and we still talk about her today. She still has that respect. Her style with crop tops and baggy pants was a trend.
THIS WOMAN IS PURE MAGIC 😭, you can’t listen to her mixtapes or albums without goosebumps, idc idc everything happens for a reason they not ready to love Tink like we do but it’s ok she’s gonna shine regardless
She had some amazing mixtapes like winter diary and is a excellent singer, rapper and songwriter. Its unfair the momentum she had didn't translate to actual commercial success, similar to dej loaf, M.I.A., dreezy and cupcake. With the expectation of Megan thee stallion, every female rapper that had a buzz translate into a stable career have been racially ambiguous/non black (cardi b, doja cat, saweetie and iggy azalea pre-2015)
Frwill126 right doja cat is the only talented one and she’s organically built both her talent and popularity/fan base. Cardi b has a ghostwriter and admits to only wanting to do this for the money, saweetie despite being a cool girl, has low key been building her career stealing the music and style of other black female rappers such as Megan thee stallion, city girls and Rico nasty, and Iggy Azalea ... just watch her freestyle videos and that will be all Lmaooooo
Doja Cat is an interesting Black female artist, but her style isn't my cup of tea. Her style crossed over, and is played on the Pop stations. As Houston Native, Megan is that chick. She continues to fight in an industry that tries to make women fight against each other. Megan will be here for many years, as long as she keeps on being herself.
BUTLERU i respect your opinion but I do love doja cat style she’s very versatility and she doesn’t place herself in boxes she took great notes from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. and is craving out her own lane there really isn’t any female rapper I think that she’s a full on copycat you could see who influence her but she still has her own originality. I also agree with Megan that my girl and she’s going to places (all she gotta do is experiment more with her artistry, continues to be herself and fix up her lawsuit situation with her label)
MrSpliffstarz Nicki Minaj isn’t dark skin she’s actually light skin and city girls only one of the girls is dark skin. City girls overall isn’t major superstars like cardi b, Nicki and saweetie is. Only Megan thee stallion is and even so just bc 1-3 people are successful doesn’t mean colorism isn’t real and haven’t stopped others from being successful. For every Megan thee stallion that are popping, there are thousands of M.I.A., Tink, Dej Loaf and Cupcake that are struggling to even be on a C-list celebrity level
TImbaland's affinity for Tink made her an intriguing prospect. But beyond that, I wasn't sold o n her. I think that Timbaland saw something very special in her. He knows the business and it's obvious that he felt she was ready. Unfortunately, sometimes even the biggest co-signs aren't enough. For whatever reason, she wasn't hitting with the mainstream audience. Some people sell their souls in public and some do it behind the scenes. She didn't do either. Even the guys like Cole and Lamar that have that authentic feel...even Chance...they have the backing they do for a reason. Also, she never found HER audience. Most people were dismissive on the strength of Aaliyah's name being in the mix. I wish her well because she is talented. Again, I wasn't sold. Not a fan of her. But I see the twinkle of greatness and I hope she realizes her potential on a big scale.
She is amazing PERIODT and I hope she becomes a Solo/Independent Artist please. I do not want her to sell her soul like all of these Hollywood artists that are depress and trynna get out of L.A and YASS QUEEN SISTER AALIYAH 💖🌈✊🏿🥰👸🏿👑🙏🏿✨💯 #OneInAMillion 4 Eternity And All Of Tink’s Winter Diaries are AMAZING ASF! 💖🌈✊🏿🥰✨😭🙏🏿 I always cry so much because she understand how we really feel!
It's always our own kind trying to keep us down. As bigger artist they could've let shorty shine! 🗣BLACK FOLKS NEVEE STICK TOGETHER! THATS WHY THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE CONQUERING US!
In the interview with Tink she sounded very sincere!! I don't think she was ever trying to be the next Aaliyah!! I believe Timberland wanted her to sample her song and she just wanted to bring the beat the justice it deserves!! I don't see her copying Aaliyah, I definitely think she has her own style!! Tink is extremely talented and very underrated!! I honestly believe she should be recognized and acknowledged more then she is!!
A pisces with a Virgo moon ...wow...many internal struggles. She is a beautiful soul. No wonder I like her so much. This young lady is younger me than me yet all her music is like a dream I once lived as a young lady. We love you tink💜
Wooowww I heard the version with think and even the breakfast club was like why didn’t you encourage the version with her when he’s version lacked seasoning. He was cool with jay but a women outshining him and making his song he couldn’t do. He rather have a bland track. Soemtimes it’s not lack of talent but others pride y’all we really do gotta still keep grinding it out
Her story is one that I hope she is grateful for, it's evident that timberland really is a good guy because based on other stories she could've ended up still not being able to own her own records or be released from her contract
She is so underrated. I’m so happy that she has never and never will give up on her dream. She is the one. So talented. I love every single last one of her songs. Keep doing you Tink. It will all pay off in the end. 🌹
I feel like I've been listening to TINK since I was little and I'll be 22 this year 🥰 Jay-Z and Bey stay open to new talent, including Drake, ASAP Rocky, etc. Others, hate change and new talent. They can't accept new new, but don't put anything new on their tracks. *Shrugs* like she said, it's all egos.
If Timberland could recognize her amazing talent then that should say something!! He is highly respected and has made some of the most successful and popular songs from my generation! I grew up to him, Aaliyah, and Missy Elliot music!! I honestly don't think he would go so hard for a artist he didn't believe in!! It seems a lot of times the people with real raw skills don't get the attention that some do with no talent at all!! Nowadays you can get famous from social media like Tik-Tok and Instagram just by being attractive!! It really is unfortunate and sad that some people never be successful and get the credit they deserve!!
Tink is one of the best. Her music is really authentic. She's not about the fame, popularity and all that mess. She's all about her craft. I have nothing but love and respect for this woman 👑
I feel like this story could kinda go for Dreezy too, they are both super talented and musical. People for some reason won't let them pop off and be great.
Awesome video! Very informative and interesting at the same time! I love to see the journalistic side of our people on this platform! The fact that you kept it all positive, was so refreshing! I don't even know you, but I see you're winning! I'm proud of you Sis!!
Ross a coward and selfish hater for that.. but timberland pulled a lil mama walking in stage down to the breakfast club with that song only this time Jay was cool with it. Lol
Yeah I think he tried to do more good but it did more harm, unintentionally. He saw her talent and where it SHOULD be and tried to put it there but you have to properly sell your artist to the public first and that’s where he went wrong I believe.
@@loveme-pn5je Some things work and some things don't! The marketing and song choices were not right. Tink has a better vision and formula for her career. Post contract is proof, she got the juice!
Tink is very talented and highly underrated. Hopeless Romantic is such a good album! She continues to work on her music and do her thing and I love it. I hope that she gets the shine that she deserves.
Timberland knew Exactly what he was doing. He knows how to create the right sound for the right artist. But he underestimated how colorist and mysoginist alot of BLACK MALE ARTIST truly are. SMH.
That's sucks that the industry only gives you one shot to make it so much potential for Tink to have made it. And I see you golden baby congrats on the sponsor.
Not the next anyone but the first HER who ever she was in this case “ tink” . There’s nothing wrong with comparing artist , but I think ppl get too caught up with trying to mold them into being the next such and such . Otherwise, great video
I LOVE Tink. My favorite song, or at least one of them is, H20. I always wanted her to be bigger than she is now. I already knew all of this, because I've been keeping up with her like you are. She's amazing.
Oh baby we still listen to Ms.Tink ! her latest album is fire 🔥 hopeless romantic is my fav song 💯💕 ugh i can’t wait till she gets the recognition that she deserves !!
Put Tink on the under card of one of the upcoming verses battle and let her Battle another up incoming artist on IG live before the main event battle for the established artist like Nelly and Ludacris or Jill Scott and Eryka Badu comes on. So both up incoming artist can display their songs to the world before the main event. That's how you get Tink back popping in the mix.
it’s messed up how they f’d over her career and talent. they were to busy putting her next in other female artist image, instead of building her own! exactly why women need to be in these positions to help build female artists like her. i don’t blame her, she was young and hungry for success. she’ll be fine regardless, talent/skill will always win, it’s just disappointing but when isn’t the music industry disappointing? 🤦🏿♂️🤷🏾♂️
I still listen to the whole Winter Diaries 4 almost daily...Ratchet Commandments is my fav all time Tink rap song... I love 'Fuck Around' and 'Different' from her recent music. And 'I Like' is my fav all time r&b Tink song. This woman is so talented...can't wait for the mainstream to start giving her the shine she deserves.

Fuck Ross ugly ass
I literally was just telling my friend how underrated Tink was. She is sooooo DOPE

I think she be on the same level as jhene aiko she so talented
Been saying this for years💯 her and K Camp🔥
WAS??? IS!!! SHE'S STILL ALIVE
She is dark skinned and we all know the industry is colorist ...end of story.. I loved her in music in 2014 it’s still saved on my SoundCloud playlist

TRUE.!!!! 💯
There are girls that look like her but dont have her essence. She was effortlessly that girl.

Dang I didn’t even know that happened to JoJo as well 😩
GoldenBaby Yupp and it was Aaliyah’s uncle, Barry Hankerson when jojo was signed to his record label.
Yea jojo’s entire career exist because aaliyah’s uncle reminded her of aaliyah and signed her to blackground records which had several legal and bankruptcy issues (which is why many albums and artists like jojo were stuck with blackground)

GoldenBaby Tinashe’s mixtapes pre-Aquarius were amazing I’m sure you would enjoy them - but like someone else mentioned definitely check out songs for you! Yes, Tink is one of my faves I have all her projects too 💜
It was meant for me to see this comment. I'm wanting to go independent as well. My first song drops in two more days.
@@deepdarkcocoa7956 Congratulations ❤️🎉🎊 where can I find it?
Idc idc idc, Tink is over everybody!! They need to give her more credit. Her vocals, her pen game is stellar.
PS wd4 is the best mixtape she put out. Aquafina is the best song hands down
Ode her music makes sense
Yessss WD4 is everything 😭😭😭
🔥🔥🔥
She’s over EVERYBODY to me !!!!!
They blackballed her cus she smoked they boots, but Nicki get to kill everybody on monster tho
exactly! she did kill that verse too
Cus Nicki sells sex. Tink wasn’t willing to put out so they wasn’t going.
We can speculate all we want but we know what happened to her. She’s a dark skinned woman and we live in a colorist society and it’s only getting worse with our babies growing up in the world. They don’t even want dark skinned or black women anymore because of what they see on tv and watching their favorite rappers in the videos. She’s extremely talented but if they could somehow make her light skinned they’d market her so quick because she sings and raps! So sad.
Sza brown too tho 😕
I wish yall would stop pushing that narrative when it doesn't fit.megan is brown skin,Remy ma is brown skin,aliyah was brown skin,so was lil kim,foxy and mc lite,I'm not even going to add queen Latifah because she was a heavyweight brown skin girl and she was accepted.its plenty of truly light skin artist like tiny,faith evans,shit even sade that doesn't and will never get the respect that a Patti labelle,gladys knight or Aretha Franklin gets.i wish you women you push this " light skin is favored" movement would just let it go and love yourself. You constantly try to convince the world that black men favor lighter skin when we love dark skin women as well.i could never date a white women but that doesn't mean I'm willing to accept the bs that SOME black women bring
@@mrmvp2323 Facts
Right. These comments talm about her comparison to Aaliyah was why she didn’t blow up is just wrong point blank. EVERY female singer gets compared to Aaliyah so that’s cap on that being the major reason. The only reason she ain’t where she deserves to be is because of colorism. Now had tink came out around now, more ppl would be willing to work with her prolly because dark skin is on the come up. But all this “it’s cus he pushed her too hard to be Aaliyah” shit is nonsense.
Mr_mvp23 all of them sell sex tho
Timbaland put soooooooo much hype on her that anything she released would only be disappointing even when it shouldn't.
I thought Tink was going to be huge by now. She’s so talented and beautiful on top of that. I hope her career works out and she gets more attention.
Hater
love me Huh? I literally just complimented Tink.
Same here I remember when tell the children came out I thought it was the perfect momentum for her to really blow it was a great anthem during the shootings of trayvon Martin and mike Brown
csauls literal spam accounts, they can’t read, Tink been popping the one in a million remix was good
Tink is SOOO SLEPT ON she’s SUPER FREAKING Talented.
You forgot the part where Timberland failed to tell her he was going threw drug addiction and hid it from his artist while they can't figure out why he wasn't focus on helping their careers
Her album Hopeless Romantic was so good! Timbaland seems like he just be jumping the gun sometimes. I forgot what even happened, but his situation with a new Bryson Tiller also didn’t exactly work out. Thankfully, they have been able to find their own footing. He definitely turned people off with pushing her as his “new Aaliyah”.
TINK IS THE REAL DEAL 😭🙏🏾
I see why artist become independent. Kudos to Tink . My favorite songs are “ Show it” , “ Freak like me , and “ Different “.
I really like Tink, her ratchet commandments song is dope. Timbaland messed her up when he sampled Aaliyah’s song tho, he shouldn’t have done that. Just like I think no rapper should touch Tupac’s music it’s just very very touchy. She deserves so much more though, but personally I wasn’t feeling the Aaliyah sample. I think Tink is good enough to have her own sound, Timbaland should’ve gave her a unique sound like he did with Nelly furtado & MIA
Nelly furtado already had a sound and a fan base before she met timbaland
excaliber true but it was totally different than when Timbaland came in & gave her a new sound. Listen to her albums before she hooked up w Timbaland & created Loose. Totally different sound. He gave her the popularized sound that propelled her career.
Liquid Bijoux who said it can’t? I said it’s very very touchy which is why I don’t think they should. They def Can if they want to, Kehlani just did on her new project & it’s a dope song. I just think for Tink I personally didn’t like the song & think she deserved better than a sample, Timbaland could’ve gave her a unique sound. Just my opinion.
She didn't need to be given a sound because she already had one & that's why their situation failed.
Jaden Alise I personally loved Tinks Aaliyah sample but I definitely agree that Timbaland should’ve gave her her own sound
The problem was they were calling her the next Aaliyah and nothing about her says aaliyah...not musically, visually or anything!! She's talented and cute though. I don't really like Rick Ross 🙄
Yeah..... agreed
agreed. aaliyah is aaliyah
tink is tink. they can only b them
Was just thinking who called her the next Aaliyah? Cause it damn sure wasn't actual Aaliyah fans. We know better. 😂😂😂
@@561REALTLK you got that right sweetie
She doesn’t at all to me she has her own Flava
I get more of a Lauryn hill vibe from her than an Aaliyah vibe. Her rap skills are serious
Rick Ross is a hater! At least Jay was down smh
RIGHT
She did that record justice. I mean nobody can take aaliyah's spot but tink is talented
Man yall stream hopeless romantic it's one of the best rnb albums of 2020
Izyu Seryuz music.apple.com/us/album/hopeless-romantic/1497954626
All her albums are💜🤦♀️🤣🤣💜💜🤷♀️
Periodddddd
open.spotify.com/album/38fEp48gj7QNEyNeVe3a6d?si=iFm7ucCcSeia3UPTgGvphA for my spotify people
she was soooo ahead of her time!! if she was a new artist now people would stan so fast
Please do a video on Tiffany Evans and Karina Pasian.
yes
Omg wow I forgot about karina! Now I’m bout to go look her up!
I love Tinks music, Winter’s Diary 1 and Don’t tell Nobody is my fav!!
I think rick Ross was hating cause he didn’t won’t no women on the track. He just wanted him Jay. I think that she had a great deal of work and dedication towards her music everyone should always get a chance to live out their dreams. Reality is wrong, dreams are for real
Mannn did you hear it though? I prefer trap rap lol but that song with Tink on it is 🔥🔥
Next Aaliyah??? I think that’s a stretch??? She’s good but Aaliyah is so iconic it’s hard to compare her to anyone
Yea that was one big ass stretch lol
What made Aalliyah iconic?
@@jackiejill9040 Her style, her Real hair her dance routines her music she was a trendsetter
@@truthspeaks281 There were women dancing before her, she had a style that was normal for the 90s, and how do you know that was her hair. Even if it was or wasn't so what? Janet Jackson and Mya both sang and danced.
@@jackiejill9040 Aaliyah has always had long real hair. There are scenes of behind the music where you see it's her hair. Her hairstylist always bragged about it. I said her dance routines. I know that people danced before her. Also she wore her hair over her eyes which people started to do. What else makes her iconic is she been gone almost 20 years and we still talk about her today. She still has that respect. Her style with crop tops and baggy pants was a trend.
THIS WOMAN IS PURE MAGIC 😭, you can’t listen to her mixtapes or albums without goosebumps, idc idc everything happens for a reason they not ready to love Tink like we do but it’s ok she’s gonna shine regardless
She had some amazing mixtapes like winter diary and is a excellent singer, rapper and songwriter. Its unfair the momentum she had didn't translate to actual commercial success, similar to dej loaf, M.I.A., dreezy and cupcake. With the expectation of Megan thee stallion, every female rapper that had a buzz translate into a stable career have been racially ambiguous/non black (cardi b, doja cat, saweetie and iggy azalea pre-2015)
badabing!
And what sucks is even out of the racially ambiguous/non black women you mentioned, only one of those are truly talented. It’s very unfortunate
Frwill126 right doja cat is the only talented one and she’s organically built both her talent and popularity/fan base. Cardi b has a ghostwriter and admits to only wanting to do this for the money, saweetie despite being a cool girl, has low key been building her career stealing the music and style of other black female rappers such as Megan thee stallion, city girls and Rico nasty, and Iggy Azalea ... just watch her freestyle videos and that will be all Lmaooooo
Doja Cat is an interesting Black female artist, but her style isn't my cup of tea. Her style crossed over, and is played on the Pop stations. As Houston Native, Megan is that chick. She continues to fight in an industry that tries to make women fight against each other. Megan will be here for many years, as long as she keeps on being herself.
BUTLERU i respect your opinion but I do love doja cat style she’s very versatility and she doesn’t place herself in boxes she took great notes from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. and is craving out her own lane there really isn’t any female rapper I think that she’s a full on copycat you could see who influence her but she still has her own originality. I also agree with Megan that my girl and she’s going to places (all she gotta do is experiment more with her artistry, continues to be herself and fix up her lawsuit situation with her label)
The whole winter diary mixtape is a bop ps I’m a Chicago girl
Chicago has some of the most underrated female rappers like Tink, Da Brat, Shawnna, Nuisance, etc. PS I'm a chi girl too g
What happened is that she’s dark skin. Not sure why girls like her can’t get the push they deserve from the industry.
MrSpliffstarz Nicki Minaj isn’t dark skin she’s actually light skin and city girls only one of the girls is dark skin. City girls overall isn’t major superstars like cardi b, Nicki and saweetie is. Only Megan thee stallion is and even so just bc 1-3 people are successful doesn’t mean colorism isn’t real and haven’t stopped others from being successful. For every Megan thee stallion that are popping, there are thousands of M.I.A., Tink, Dej Loaf and Cupcake that are struggling to even be on a C-list celebrity level
ya insecurities are showing
@@Kevin-rg3yc stfu Nicki bleached tf outta herself she wasn't born light!!
MrSpliffstarz foxy & rem are the only dark skinned ones you named lmaooo
TImbaland's affinity for Tink made her an intriguing prospect. But beyond that, I wasn't sold o n her. I think that Timbaland saw something very special in her. He knows the business and it's obvious that he felt she was ready. Unfortunately, sometimes even the biggest co-signs aren't enough.
For whatever reason, she wasn't hitting with the mainstream audience. Some people sell their souls in public and some do it behind the scenes. She didn't do either. Even the guys like Cole and Lamar that have that authentic feel...even Chance...they have the backing they do for a reason.
Also, she never found HER audience. Most people were dismissive on the strength of Aaliyah's name being in the mix. I wish her well because she is talented. Again, I wasn't sold. Not a fan of her. But I see the twinkle of greatness and I hope she realizes her potential on a big scale.
There will never be another Aaliyah point blank. Aaliyah was all the R&B music industry and much more what a loss she is irreplaceable
She is amazing PERIODT and I hope she becomes a Solo/Independent Artist please.
I do not want her to sell her soul like all of these Hollywood artists that are depress and trynna get out of L.A and YASS QUEEN SISTER AALIYAH 💖🌈✊🏿🥰👸🏿👑🙏🏿✨💯 #OneInAMillion 4 Eternity
And All Of Tink’s Winter Diaries are AMAZING ASF! 💖🌈✊🏿🥰✨😭🙏🏿 I always cry so much because she understand how we really feel!
I think it definitely Colorism I think tink is a amazing and deserves so much more from the industry
I love Tink and Tim had good intentions with her.
Tink deserves more credit!!!!!!!🌟
And baby girl u were made for commentating! Your voice is so smooth and u articulate so well doll🥰 keep em coming
Puts in AirPods “Siri play “I Ain’t Got Time Today” 😌🎼
I been bumping Tink since the first Winter’s Diary when I was in the 9th grade. Been a stan ever since 🙌🏽
It's always our own kind trying to keep us down. As bigger artist they could've let shorty shine! 🗣BLACK FOLKS NEVEE STICK TOGETHER! THATS WHY THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE CONQUERING US!
In the interview with Tink she sounded very sincere!! I don't think she was ever trying to be the next Aaliyah!! I believe Timberland wanted her to sample her song and she just wanted to bring the beat the justice it deserves!! I don't see her copying Aaliyah, I definitely think she has her own style!! Tink is extremely talented and very underrated!! I honestly believe she should be recognized and acknowledged more then she is!!
A pisces with a Virgo moon ...wow...many internal struggles. She is a beautiful soul. No wonder I like her so much. This young lady is younger me than me yet all her music is like a dream I once lived as a young lady. We love you tink💜
Wooowww I heard the version with think and even the breakfast club was like why didn’t you encourage the version with her when he’s version lacked seasoning. He was cool with jay but a women outshining him and making his song he couldn’t do. He rather have a bland track. Soemtimes it’s not lack of talent but others pride y’all we really do gotta still keep grinding it out
Couldn’t agree more!
“Treat me like Somebody” is my shit!!!!
Her story is one that I hope she is grateful for, it's evident that timberland really is a good guy because based on other stories she could've ended up still not being able to own her own records or be released from her contract
Tink is one of the best r&b artists in this era of music imo. She deserves better
She is so underrated. I’m so happy that she has never and never will give up on her dream. She is the one. So talented. I love every single last one of her songs. Keep doing you Tink. It will all pay off in the end. 🌹
She deserves the world super underrated 🤷🏽♀️❤️💛🥰😍
I feel like I've been listening to TINK since I was little and I'll be 22 this year 🥰
Jay-Z and Bey stay open to new talent, including Drake, ASAP Rocky, etc. Others, hate change and new talent. They can't accept new new, but don't put anything new on their tracks. *Shrugs* like she said, it's all egos.
TINK IS NOT THE NEXT AALIYAH AND NEVER WILL BE! SHE IS TINK. THATS IT.
If Timberland could recognize her amazing talent then that should say something!! He is highly respected and has made some of the most successful and popular songs from my generation! I grew up to him, Aaliyah, and Missy Elliot music!! I honestly don't think he would go so hard for a artist he didn't believe in!! It seems a lot of times the people with real raw skills don't get the attention that some do with no talent at all!! Nowadays you can get famous from social media like Tik-Tok and Instagram just by being attractive!! It really is unfortunate and sad that some people never be successful and get the credit they deserve!!
Tink is one of the best. Her music is really authentic. She's not about the fame, popularity and all that mess. She's all about her craft. I have nothing but love and respect for this woman 👑
I feel like this story could kinda go for Dreezy too, they are both super talented and musical. People for some reason won't let them pop off and be great.
Lol I was actually going to do both of them in one but I decided to save dreezy for another video
GoldenBaby I feel like they lowkey look alike that’s why I always think of them together too lol it’s because they both darkskin
She just released an album on Valentine's day that has good music on it. Love tink still listen to her.
Awesome video! Very informative and interesting at the same time! I love to see the journalistic side of our people on this platform! The fact that you kept it all positive, was so refreshing! I don't even know you, but I see you're winning! I'm proud of you Sis!!
Thank you ☺️💙
I love Tink. Her voice is beautiful!🎶
Yes come through with the Sponsorship!!! I'm so proud of you sis!!
Thank you! I appreciate all the support 💙💙💙
Ross a coward and selfish hater for that.. but timberland pulled a lil mama walking in stage down to the breakfast club with that song only this time Jay was cool with it. Lol
Next Aaliyah? No!
Finally we talk about this ....winter diary was everything
Timberland ruined her career smh.
Her damn career is not ruined bitch
She doesn't need to be signed she is that bitch.
Not really he tried helping her career its the industry didn't want to support her
Yeah I think he tried to do more good but it did more harm, unintentionally. He saw her talent and where it SHOULD be and tried to put it there but you have to properly sell your artist to the public first and that’s where he went wrong I believe.
@@loveme-pn5je Some things work and some things don't! The marketing and song choices were not right. Tink has a better vision and formula for her career. Post contract is proof, she got the juice!
Tink is very talented and highly underrated. Hopeless Romantic is such a good album! She continues to work on her music and do her thing and I love it. I hope that she gets the shine that she deserves.
I love her music
True , authentic talent 💫 is too much for the main stream audience I guess because Tink got all the talent in the 🌍
Timberland knew Exactly what he was doing. He knows how to create the right sound for the right artist. But he underestimated how colorist and mysoginist alot of BLACK MALE ARTIST truly are. SMH.
Tink literally has multiple hits on EACH album and EP . That shit is crazy how she hasn’t blown up fr
That's sucks that the industry only gives you one shot to make it so much potential for Tink to have made it. And I see you golden baby congrats on the sponsor.
💙💙💙
Not the next anyone but the first HER who ever she was in this case “ tink” . There’s nothing wrong with comparing artist , but I think ppl get too caught up with trying to mold them into being the next such and such . Otherwise, great video
Thanks for this, going to check out her music.
Tink and keyshia cole got me thru a whole divorce! I ❤️❤️❤️
My favorite video by you.♥️
She killed on her newest album, I have that on repeat !!!!
I like will play at my wedding reception!🤞🏾 that's not a question I adore think & support all her music period
I LOVE Tink. My favorite song, or at least one of them is, H20. I always wanted her to be bigger than she is now. I already knew all of this, because I've been keeping up with her like you are. She's amazing.
Oh baby we still listen to Ms.Tink ! her latest album is fire 🔥 hopeless romantic is my fav song 💯💕 ugh i can’t wait till she gets the recognition that she deserves !!
I’m tired of UA-camrs advertising like ugh I know y’all need it but damn cut it down to like 5-7 seconds.
I still listen to her song “Very Very” from Winters Diary 3... one of my favs ❤️
hopeless romantic is a whole mood
Put Tink on the under card of one of the upcoming verses battle and let her Battle another up incoming artist on IG live before the main event battle for the established artist like Nelly and Ludacris or Jill Scott and Eryka Badu comes on. So both up incoming artist can display their songs to the world before the main event. That's how you get Tink back popping in the mix.
it’s messed up how they f’d over her career and talent. they were to busy putting her next in other female artist image, instead of building her own! exactly why women need to be in these positions to help build female artists like her. i don’t blame her, she was young and hungry for success. she’ll be fine regardless, talent/skill will always win, it’s just disappointing but when isn’t the music industry disappointing? 🤦🏿♂️🤷🏾♂️
When you posted the pic of her on the community feed, I scrolled too fast & thought it was Kash Doll, lol. I had to scroll back up.
Lmao I swear I be saying they look alike i follow both on ig and I see it all the time
You know what they do look like they could be sisters
Yaaaasssss!!!! I LOVE me some Tink!!! Gurl, your videos be having me HOOKED!!! 💯💯💯
both voicemails and hopeless romantic are so good. I listened to HR on a bus ride and didn't skip one track.
I still listen to the whole Winter Diaries 4 almost daily...Ratchet Commandments is my fav all time Tink rap song... I love 'Fuck Around' and 'Different' from her recent music. And 'I Like' is my fav all time r&b Tink song. This woman is so talented...can't wait for the mainstream to start giving her the shine she deserves.
Whew if was no time was a person! Proud of her , she knew who she was and created herself. Didn’t depend on no one or make any sacrifices 🙌🏾♥️🤩
Peace and blessings to all. I know this is a challenging time, just take time out to say thank you God. I love y’all and be safe. 💕❤️
