One of the reasons why Aaliyah is one of the GOATs is that she sings over beats that people would have no business singing over and she not only makes it work but makes an absolute BANGER!
I wasn't ready for the style of this album when I first got it at age 9... Kudos Aaliyah for expanding your style. This song absolutely shocks me by how well you handled it. Total confidence!
I was young when This Album came I wasn't Ready for her to break away from The Timbaland & Missy magic I wanted them to produce the entire album but I realized Aaliyah was total star🌟 she Knew exactly what direction she's was going as far as artistically she a true risk taker 💯💯now this album is a masterpiece
Anyone binge listening to Aaliyahs catalog? This album is still ahead of its time... something about this song tho.... still after all these years she still stands on her own. Rest In Peace Babygirl ❤️
They still fucking it because they can’t handle fame; easily offended and spend too much time on live talking about suit that don’t matter. Not all of them do this, but the majority irks me.
This was on heavy repeat for me in 2001. Sadly as a sign of the times her shady ass record company only released what they figured sounded the most like an R&B club banger(which wasn't bad). However! Had she released what if, extra smooth, you got nerve, or I can be followed by dope choreography while effortless slaying those video's. Aaliyah's crossover ability as an artist would have been recognized by a broader audience in 2001 not 2016.
Those songs are one of the best songs on the album I do feel like if Aaliyah would or would not of she had died she would gain more popularity but I feel like her legacy is not going to fade but slowly gain access to the popularity she had 20 years ago
+Eli C Janet jackson did not sing the same genre as aaliyah... There is a clear difference in music style. But I can agree with you that Janet has inspired aaliyah when it comes to clothing style and dancing.
Janet was an influence to tinashe Aaliyah was an influence to like Kehlani, Drake, Seyvn & some others but what's cute is that Janet was influence to Aaliyah You don't have to be in the same genre to be influenced..
I can picture a BADD ass rock video!! wit Aaliyah rocking a black leather skirt wit sum fishnet stockings wit her cut off Gloves playing the Guitar....damn it woulda been sooo Dope ..love u Aaliyah the Queen of UNIQUE...
or even better like her outfit from "queen of the damn" in bronze and gold leather like a futuristic look out of the fifth element or Stargate since she was going to do the Matrix . she's at the table talking to her man singing this song and he's trying to get away with being caught cheating on her but he turns around she in front of him again without moving like her character in QOTD and do some dance similar to the movie but edgier and smooth, hard but soft like the video " Try again' and "Are you that Somebody" towards the end with the spanish dance to keep him backing up but cornered andt able to leave while she rocks the floor how she did in the club scene in the movie. the background some space looking club. or something dark like Lestat room.
this album was so different from her other albums, such a big musical evolution for her! would have love to hear a follow up 4th album to this masterpiece but sadly we would never know
Man just imagine what kind of music she would have out today??? You can tell she loved rock music(her favorite band was korn and nine inch nails) she was wayyyyy before her time.
I LOOOVE how the sound towards the end of her album turned in to something so different yet still went so perfect!! She was letting us know, she was coming strong with the next album! Tank has some crazy writing skills also! Love you A-A-L-I-Y...-A-H!!
I visualize a music video of her at a bar walking across it and smashing shit getting up all in the nigga's face she snapping at "You're a jealous man, one who doesn't understand when other dudes tryna holla wanna take my hand.." etc. SHIT!! and then a kick ass dance routine. She'd be dressed in this gothic like vibes sort of thing, with highlights and chains, I f'n would have been here for it xD I gotta wild imagination but I feel that would have been a great approach xD had this been a single...It had potential. I wouldn't mind it being the 4th rumor had it she was planning 4 singles total with this album, but I can't fully confirm it. The f*cking guitar strings on this beat though is fire!! This songs sounds like some today shit.
Aaliyah is still killing it 18 years after her transcendence into heavenly peace. She will always be one of the top females I had always admired and looked up to 💗 Crazy she'd be 40 years old this year!
you don't ever expect a Metal infused dance track about double standards from an R&B chick, except, Aaliyah's no R&B chick, she's the urban legend! the last lingering chance of resurgence of Rock N Roll. damn, why did she have to be eliminated!! smoother than butter, the best ever...
damn another song off this album I remember stayed on HEAVY rotation when I used to sneak in his room & listened to all his music when he wasn't there. I was 9 in 2001 when her last album came out.... it's 2017 & it's still sound so fresh! That's VERY telling on of her career. timeless classics from a Angel who went before she fully had the ball man :/
Georgio Ibarra yasssss I love Prince I went crazy when i heard he praised AALIYAH And Prince was one of Aaliyahs favorite artists I wish she was still here Omg UGHH her death is so suspicious to me. She was the original QUEEN A no one can replace her ever . I love How she was getting into rock n roll I bet Pricne loved this song and I said to myself it would be funny if Prince secretly played the guitar for this song that would have been lit Prince and Aaliyah are my two favorites they're all I listen to 😩👌
As much as I miss her everyday, she would have been corrupted in today's cruel times. She was just too pure for this world. Rest in Peace, my angel. Your voice lives on.
Wow memories .i played this song sooo much . it was a bonus track & something jus stick out to me . love the alternative sound . she rides the beat so well over the Guitar instruments🎸
This album was basically Lemonade before Lemonade, in how each track speaks about the different stages of love and relationships. It's a self-care album.
*I would have LOVED to see a video or even a behind of scenes of her making this song in the studio!! I still can't wrap my head around **1:39**! I still can't believe that's babygirl singing that!*
The industrial rock... she was so ahead of her time. You can hear the Janet influence. I wish she could have gotten into UK Garage like she wanted it too. Set the tempo for FKA Twigs, The Weeknd etc. Such a visionary. Happy birthday babygirl. We love you FOREVER
She was on her way. Aaliyah was about to switch it up on us. Rhianna woulda been a nobody. They took the wrong one. The music industry is paying for killing good music and good artist.
This song often screamed of a Nine Inch Nails cover mixed with some Timbaland influence to me. I guarantee if it had been put out as a single, it would have sent radios into a frenzy. No one was prepared for what Aaliyah was about to bring to the table regarding her unique visions. Not to mention had secured over 5 movie deals under her belt at the time ("Some Kind of Blue", "Sparkle", "Honey", "Matrix", "Queen of the Damned"). To know she was doing all of this at the mere age of 22 while juggling a slew of other tasks blows my mind. RIP Aaliyah.
Ugh, I wish that collaboration happened with Trent Reznor. I could just hear him killing it on that guitar. Also, can you believe R&B singer Tank wrote and produced this?!
She was miles ahead of her time.
LegendMariah Perfect Voice; perfect body; perfect attitude; baby girl!
Miles? I think lightyears.
Yup
One of the reasons why Aaliyah is one of the GOATs is that she sings over beats that people would have no business singing over and she not only makes it work but makes an absolute BANGER!
This was what the early 00s music was supposed to sound like. People do not realize what we lost with her passing and how far ahead that team was...
I wasn't ready for the style of this album when I first got it at age 9... Kudos Aaliyah for expanding your style. This song absolutely shocks me by how well you handled it. Total confidence!
+Travell Davis Jr No one was ready. I think most of the world still isn't. This song is so banging.
Travell Davis Jr I think it's the hottest track on the album..
I was young when This Album came I wasn't Ready for her to break away from The Timbaland & Missy magic I wanted them to produce the entire album but I realized Aaliyah was total star🌟 she Knew exactly what direction she's was going as far as artistically she a true risk taker 💯💯now this album is a masterpiece
I was ready for it...and loved it! 😃
Same!!
Imagine the visuals, looks and choreography and attitude she would have served us in this music video wooo
I fucking love this song. I love singing it, and I love how she mixed two of my favorite genres for this song: r&b and rock.
Anyone binge listening to Aaliyahs catalog? This album is still ahead of its time... something about this song tho.... still after all these years she still stands on her own. Rest In Peace Babygirl ❤️
These new girls better be glad Aaliyah gave them a blueprint for their careers.
Yes she paved the way.
They still fucking it because they can’t handle fame; easily offended and spend too much time on live talking about suit that don’t matter. Not all of them do this, but the majority irks me.
Period

Absolutely!

Tank wrote this for her. I think this was a good choice for her voice. It sounds like she was talking about that dude damon.
She definitely would've done more rock..she would've worked with Korn back in the day
@@joshuavelez9046 yeah and 9 inch nails was her favorite rock band
Wow, I didn’t know that. I assumed it was Static.
She was such ahead of her time. Even in her time she was an innovator and leader. Always blazing her own path.
The video for this song would have been 🔥
ikr
Hell yeah
Definitely!!
Yeah.
Yea I wish she was steel here. This song is so 🔥🔥🔥
This whole album is literally my life. Love you forever and miss your beautiful music aaliyah
This type of song is what inspires today's artists like fka twigs, Tinashe, the weeknd etc. Aaliyah was beyond her time
+Eli C Janet jackson did not sing the same genre as aaliyah... There is a clear difference in music style. But I can agree with you that Janet has inspired aaliyah when it comes to clothing style and dancing.
sure was
Yep. Truly underrated when she was here
Miguel, big time. No shade i love them both
Janet was an influence to tinashe

You don't have to be in the same genre to be influenced..
I can picture a BADD ass rock video!! wit Aaliyah rocking a black leather skirt wit sum fishnet stockings wit her cut off Gloves playing the Guitar....damn it woulda been sooo Dope ..love u Aaliyah the Queen of UNIQUE...
😍😍😍😍😍
I feel like she could've worn her more than a woman second outfit
or even better like her outfit from "queen of the damn" in bronze and gold leather like a futuristic look out of the fifth element or Stargate since she was going to do the Matrix . she's at the table talking to her man singing this song and he's trying to get away with being caught cheating on her but he turns around she in front of him again without moving like her character in QOTD and do some dance similar to the movie but edgier and smooth, hard but soft like the video " Try again' and "Are you that Somebody" towards the end with the spanish dance to keep him backing up but cornered andt able to leave while she rocks the floor how she did in the club scene in the movie. the background some space looking club. or something dark like Lestat room.

Aaliyah is my inspiration. I wish she was still here. She died before I could talk.
She died before I was born.😥
Peyton are you a fan?
@@denisegill2667 are U a fan which country U from
True I just want to keep her legacy going
I visualize a music video of her at a bar walking across it and smashing shit getting up all in the nigga's face she snapping at "You're a jealous man, one who doesn't understand when other dudes tryna holla wanna take my hand.." etc. SHIT!! and then a kick ass dance routine.

I saw you comment on another video and I love your imagination lol

smoother than butter, the best ever...
💯 pure facts. rihanna tried it with rockstar 101 but it fell flat!!!

17 years later and this song is still hot!
19 turning 20 years later this is fire!!!
It's timeless
I love how the beat has a stop and start groove!
Her vocals were better developed on this album too.
Especially with this song
This song should have been on the queen of the damned soundtrack like it suppose to be.
+Jenna Provost most def i agree def fit the theme of the rock songs that was featured on the soundtrack too
Yes
I was 13 when this album came out! When I tell you this damn album blew my young ass awayyy😩🤣🤣 Changed my life forever ❤️
I was 9 and I was thinking to myself, “Aaliyah, whatchu know about that (this sound)?!” 🤣 ❤
I love this rock melody by aaliyah
I can really hear Janet's influence
Luigi K and prince 😫
And certainly Nine Inch Nails.
I would say more Nine Inch Nails and other alternative rock acts.
vels619 hmm this is very Janet especially control and rhythm nation era
Georgio Ibarra yasssss I love Prince I went crazy when i heard he praised AALIYAH And Prince was one of Aaliyahs favorite artists I wish she was still here Omg UGHH her death is so suspicious to me.

This was one of her rawest songs. It's about double standards and it's facts.
As much as I miss her everyday, she would have been corrupted in today's cruel times. She was just too pure for this world.
Rest in Peace, my angel. Your voice lives on.
NickyVendetta lol the Aaliyah who was about to marry r kelly? She woulda been fine grew with the times but all speculation sad she’s gone
💯😇
Wow memories .i played this song sooo much . it was a bonus track & something jus stick out to me . love the alternative sound . she rides the beat so well over the Guitar instruments🎸
Why didn't the album win a grammy
This is Are You That Somebody too the #80 power.. This single should've been released.. 🔥
My favorite on this album😍 Missy's vocals were definitely on this record!
This album was basically Lemonade before Lemonade, in how each track speaks about the different stages of love and relationships. It's a self-care album.
she was sooo ahead of her time
She Was Def Ahead Of Time With This One
This song was ahead of time. They should of had her do a music video for this song. My fave off this album
you will forever be timeless aaliyah .
Still love this song rip beautiful your missed ❤️❤️

This beat is so sick
Still sounds new! #2019
Aaliyah over Beyoncé ANYDAY ♥️💋
Imani Alexander 🤣🤣🤣
Aaliyah is far more of a superior artist than Beyonce who rips off music samples such as major Lazer, Aaliyah is so versatile on all genres.
@@marchionessamoretto7326 oh stop with the hate plz
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 I don't care
@Paradigm Climb stop with hate plz
this is my shit love this song never get too old rip aaliyah gone never forgotten 💪🙏
Who in the hell are the 20 people who disliked this song??😕😕😕
Tunstall - Howard Beyonce fans

Thank you! You have to be crazy not to like this.
*I would have LOVED to see a video or even a behind of scenes of her making this song in the studio!! I still can't wrap my head around **1:39**! I still can't believe that's babygirl singing that!*

I love this song so much. I miss her so much. RIP Aaliyah
OOOOH WEE THIS THE BEST ROCK N ROLLish SONG EVER 🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶

More UK garbage electronica or whatever this genre is!! This is Badass!!! I love it!!
Here still listening on the anniversary of the album!!
One thing about baby girl is......She gon RIDE the HELL outta a beat😂💖💖💯
this beat kicks so much
this song gives life
NIN X Aaliyah= Dope Album!!!
We Don't Have Take It No More!!!
Great song
Aaliyah could sing anything. It's like if R&B went though Nine Inch Nails
She was on her way. Aaliyah was about to switch it up on us. Rhianna woulda been a nobody. They took the wrong one. The music industry is paying for killing good music and good artist.
I've always thought she said I guess it's a little game we'll play. Wow... lol she wasn't playin'. Reminds me of Madea.
omg luv diz song
good gravy - that beat.....!!!!
I would love to hear her and the weekend... Damn rip baby girl I'm sad now
One of her best! The rock-trip hop edge is very similar to Janet Jackson.
Dope song,beat,Remarkable
I F........ LOVE AALIYAH!!!!😭😭😭😭
Love this song !.!
It's an absolute travesty her other albums aren't on Spotify. I could see a massive resurgence once that day happens and Gen Z discovers her.
Love you baby girl ❤ 🙏🏾
This song is so freaking littt😄🔥
Every time I hear the beginning of the song I think of the movie Resident Evil ! Lol :) but I love this song !!
my favorite
This song often screamed of a Nine Inch Nails cover mixed with some Timbaland influence to me. I guarantee if it had been put out as a single, it would have sent radios into a frenzy.

I like it
Its NIN inspired. She never got to work with trent. Cause of diff sched. :(
I can vision some long hair white guys guys rockin out to the guitar on this video.
2019
Am I the only one who can hear the influence of Prince in this song?
