Timbaland said when Aaliyah passed, it was like losing an arm. She gave him creative inspiration. Also, Aaliyah was the only big artist that would take risks on his beats. React to Hot Like Fire by Aaliyah
Mathis Bailey The hot like fire remix was everything.
@@got2bjosh Yes it is...I hope he react to it. Its my fav.
Yea she was definitely his Muse.
The beginning of that song.when she says it was summer day in California.that part got me
She would've been an icon today. Practically every song Aaliyah put out in that time was a hit. That was damn near unheard of for a R & B chick to have cross appeal in pop as well.
Not quite. Monica and Brandy were having bigger crossover hits.
@@6ixboss608 no they weren't. Maybe brandy even tho they had cross over hits, they both didn't have the crossover appeal like aaliyah which is why they weren't that successful in the 2000s like aaliyah.
@@6ixboss608 I didn't say she was the only one. Damn yall hear someone give an artist props and yall seem to think everyone is exempt.
@@neishawnjohnson7602 Are U That Somebody was released in 1998. The Boy Is Mine went #1 for 14 weeks during that time. Have U Ever and Angel of Mine were also big crossover hits that went to #1. So yeah, Brandy and Monica were definitely having MORE success in 98. Bigger billboard hits and bigger album sales.
@@6ixboss608 obviously because of the fued hyping up the song, plus I just said they had mainstream hits mostly brandy because she had her show, doll, and movie deals, but that alone doesn't mean you have the overall appeal. Aaliyah was part of an independent label so the promotion behind the song and the rules back then for the charts prevented are you that somebody from being higher on the charts.
It's more a trio than a duo. It's Missy, Timbaland & Aaliyah.
True Story
Yup and Tim got his start working with Dalvin from jodeci
@@anthonyanderson9303 now that makes sense because Missy started off singing in a group that DeVaunte managed. They had a song called.... "so brand new".or something like that.
@@jamedraa8472 yea I wanna say Tim even did some ghost producing for them before he got big. And I knew Missy was affiliated with them as well, it was a gang of them that came up together in VA. He hooked up with Ginuwine early on too. Oh and they was down with pharrell early on too.
Ginuwine
The baby in the background symbolizes Aaliyah as she was also known as Babygirl
Really I never realized that I'm a Aaliyah fan and never realized that now I understand the baby voice in back ground
This one was written by Static Major from the group Playa. He also wrote Try Again, We Need a Resolution, Rock the Boat, More than a Woman, etc. They had a great chemistry. RIP to him as well.
Yes....RIP to "Static" Major another young talent gone to soon.
R.i.P. he was that dude
He wrote all of my fav songs...❤️
Lose rap by Aaliyah was written by him too. Damn near the whole red album
Fun fact:
Fatima Robinson was the choreographer for this music video and most of Aaliyah's music videos from her 2nd & 3rd albums. She has also done choreography for Michael Jackson, MJB, Black Eyed Peas, Meghan Trainor, and others
Yassss, Atl Stephens!!! I was just going to say this. Fatima for the win.
Yup the girl that's standing next to Aaliyah in the beginning with the ponytail
And some Backstreet Boys too
Thank you. I love Aaliyah but I don't know who told him she makes up her moves
She is a beast on choreo and I loved that she would be in some of her videos like this one!
1:22 They ACTUALLY DID film this video in the Bat Lair from the classic Batman films in LA. Nice eye
This kid has "been here before" as our elders would say. He's very intuitive with the past....sort of an old soul.
Yes...it was shot in a bat cave in California.
@@DeeJoyce Er’body has GOOGLE Js😳
@@NinaBaby210 I was implying that his inner soul and personality is mature beyond his years imo. Of course Google is a fact finding and informative research tool/app that aids in making us all seem smarter than we are lol.Take Car darling..🎵🎶
The song was on the Eddie Murphy version of “Dr. Doolittle” back in the day. The movie had a bunch of animals. The falcon in the music video pays homage to the animals in the movie.
Could also be playing into the beginning of the song where she says "I've been watching you like a hawk in the sky"
Wasn’t there a version of this video where they did have some clips of Dr Doolittle in the background?
It was missy elliott & timberland they were the best duo. Missy is a producer as well react to her videos
Janet and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis are the ultimate pairing.
Absolutely
exactly who I thought of Janet w Jam and Terry. But Aaliyah and Tim And Missy were Dope!
Yeah...you're right. All it takes is a good pairing and great things can happen
I completely agree!!!!!
LOOK AT ALL THOSE CLOTHES THEY HAD ON!! LOL. I forgot how much I liked this video.
The choreography is so solid. It is just nice to watch. Seamless.
My favorite Aaliyah video!
That bird is a hawk. Hence her lyrics, "Oh, boy, I've been watching you like a hawk in the sky that fly, and you are my prey."
Nice reaction. I remember when this vid first hit. I was FLOORED at Aaliyah's flamenco dance at the end because it was the very first time I saw her in a dress and heels 😍.
I started to listening Aaliyah and seeing her in movies in the mid-90s when I was in middle school. She had family in Detroit where I grew up, my best friend’s mom worked with her aunt. It was a dark day when she passed, one of those days you remember where you were when it happened, she was a once in a lifetime talent! It’s awesome to see the next generation appreciate her like I did ❤️
Love this music video. It’s insane to have a music video that’s all dancing to a mid tempo song be incredible but they really nailed it. Aaliyah had the It Factor. She will be missed
Fatima Robinson is definitely one of the greatest music video choreographers of all time!!!! This is one of my favorites of hers! This, Rock the Boat and Michael Jackson's Remember the Time!!!
"Hot like fire" 🔥, she has one 1 of her and Tim best collaboration right there.
The Remix version
I've heard you say in a couple of Aaliyah's video reactions that she made her own dances. But to my knowledge, Aaliyah credited Fatima Robinson as her longtime choreographer. She is actually in this video dancing on the left side. Fatima is a legendary choreographer in hip hop/R&B/Pop/Rock & everything that included dance movements especially in the 90s and 00s. Fatima was one of "Babygirl's" best friends and one of the last people to see her alive after the "Rock the Boat" video shoot.
You are 100% Fatima is responsible for a lot of the hip hop dances of the 90s and 2000. Fatima did all Aaliyah videos I think she's in all but the first four. From One in a million on. They were very close.
In the 90's, they're the Greatest 🎉❤
Static Major wrote most of her songs with Missy. He was a legend, wrote say my name, this, ginuwine pony and more.. gotta do a special on him check him out
He wasn't credited on Say My Name. It's DarkChild
@@angechrisman1694 Static wrote Say My Name Remix
Her choreographer Fatima created MOST of her dance moves. Her fashion stylist Derrek Lee was the visionary behind her signature clothing styles. Her hair stylist Eric and her other makeup artist Eric Ferrell created her signature makeup and hair looks. She had an amazing team of people who became her friends... she always acknowledged in her behind the scenes videos and interviews. Much respect to them as well.
Up Jumps The Boogie has Missy, Timbo, Aaliyah & Magoo all together. 🔥🔥🔥
:57 sec Aaliyah's brother 🥰
I miss my bae so much man. Im still not over it, She ment alot to me. Im so thankful she blessed the world w/ classic iconic bops & her presence although she wasnt here long, Life isnt fair. We love & miss you bae 😢😔💔
"He really don't be saying anything, but it sounds good" 🤣🤣 LMAO! So true!
The verse says, "Boy, I've been watching you like a hawk in the sky
That flies, and you were my prey " , it's a hawk.
Love, love, love Aaliyah! React to “Miss U”
Also, Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupree is another amazing duo.
The baby says "Aaliyah" and laughs. During this time they added every sound they could to beats.
Nah its a sample from a prince song .. delirious . at the very end
So much talent in one song /video. God I miss her. My sister and I new every piece of choreography she ever did , we were lost when she passes we had a framed picture of her in our house cause our mom new how much we loved her
“Baby Girl, better known as Aaliyah!” “...Wake up! You’ve just now entered the next level of funk!” “Came to Give Love... to the fans across the world... reach out to you touch the hearts of boys and girls...” Jack has no idea how iconic that dance outro was. People were hooked seeing Aaliyah dressed up, showing skin, & looking more feminine. A smash hit single for the 1998 hit movie, Dr. Doolittle (hence the hawk... in the sky... on her arm).
This comment should have way more likes🙏🏾🙏🏾
First video with her in a dress & first hit song that sampled baby noises, lol 🔥 🔥🔥
MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL. THAT EVER WAS BORN. SHE HAD IT ALL, EVERONE LOVED HER? NOW SHE GONE MISS BABYGIRL!!!!!!!
I love that you know what you're talking about when you explain the different styles of music. Very impressive...
Timbaland also produced Brandy's album "Afrodisiac" after Aaliyah's passing. His work with her is also phenomenal and he called her The Queen on one of their songs "Who Is She 2 U". They collaborated a lot since then. Justin Timberlake's R&B stuff with Timbaland have also been dope. But I do think the contrast of Timbaland's hard beats and Aaliyah's soft vocals are nice. I think he has dope chemistry with a lot of other artists though. U just gotta get into their work.
His chemistry with Aaliyah is best tho. Which is what jack was saying Lol
Timbo and Nelly F tho
@@christinafazeera740 Oh yeaaaah I LOVED their chemistry. Loose >>>>
Timbaland and Missy are dynamic. Timbaland and JayZ make magic also.
I love when younger people check out the generations past...
It’s a hawk... first verse she says “I been watching you like a hawk in the sky that flies, and you were my prey”
Fatima was her choreographer... to her left, in the back, in the light blue
Timbaland and Missy was the production/ writing team... also, they always worked with, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Magoo... and then many, many others!!❤️
The baby in the background is ICONIC !!!!
🤣 I was waiting for you to bring up the baby!!!
Any Ja rule and Ashanti song they’ve done together
Always on Time 😍👌👌
This video was the first time we ever saw Aaliyah in a skirt/dress. Before this video, Aaliyah only was seen in baggy clothing, this was the beginning of her coming into her woman hood. Great reaction.
Can you react to Jennifer Lopez- If You Had My Love ?
Right she was coming into her women hood we was so happy to see that at the time we miss Baby girl 💕
The bird is a hawk.. lyrics "like a Hawk in the sky"
This was Huge back in the day!!! Tim's beats were so out the box was thy he took over the radio and the industry!!! I was like you when I first heard this song "wait, is that an actual baby?"
the group PLAYA on those harmonies 🔥 🔥 🔥
Showing you some 💜. Hello again. She was 🔥🔥🔥🔥. R.I.P SWEET AALIYAH. Magic Stick up next.
One of her favorite songs 🔥
“He don’t really be saying nothing, but he sounds good”.
Time of death: 6:41 pm. 💀💀😂😂😂😂
Timberland was also great with Missy Elliot. Timberland was very popular back in the day, his beats seemed to be everywhere. It was known that the song would be great if he was on it. Missy's music was fun, and her videos were known to be nuts. You should react to some of her older stuff: " The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)"", "Get Your Freak On", "Gossip Folks", "Work It".
Justin Timberlake & Timbaland are another dynamic duo. The entire 20/20 album goes crazy but “Don’t Hold The Wall” in particular is pure 🔥🔥🔥
so much nostalgia, hair stands up every time i hear this song.
Fatima Robinson is her Choreographer on most, if not all of her video choreography. From Day 1
Janet Jackson/Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis….They exude the same “Magic” in what they’ve produced together!
Aaliyah I Refuse and I Care 4 U.
Aaliyah's choreographer is FATIMA,she in so many of Aaliyah videos and choreographed others ppl videos and danced in them too.FATIMA A BEAST🔥🔥🔥 research her
Static Major wrote this and that's his vocals in the background. He also did all the vocal arrangements. Get into his group, Playa. Start with I-65 or Cheers 2 U
Thank you for this reaction, Jack! 💋❤ I had to hurry and click on it. This is one my fav Aaliyah videos to dance to.
The bird on her arm is a hawk. She mentions in the beginning of the song that she's watching him like a hawk. The video is very visual.
agree 💯💯💯💯!! &&& also him sampling a baby’s laugh in the production of the BEAT! CRAZY 💣💣💣🔥🔥🔥
React to “Never Givin Up” and “ I care 4 U” by her they really show her vocal ability 👌🏾👌🏾
FACTS!!! Never Giving Up is underrated asf
Yup and At your best.
My favorite part of that song is when she says , I love youuuu yess i do oo oo oooh " 😇😇😇😇
I found it very funny when you finally realized a baby was making noise in the beat. It was all throughout the song if you listen closely. That baby noise was always ominous sounding to me, but it is one of my favorite elements about the song.
She's a legend in her own right, and it has nothing to do with her tragic passing.
She made great music that I still like listening to in 2022.🌹
Fun facts. Fatima is the choreographer and she is actually dancing in the video. Fatima is wearing the short sports bra. She was also the one who got Aaliyah to wear the skirt and heels. RIP Aaliyah.
Her brother is also in this video.
my girl damn she's so beautiful thanks for playing this song ❤❤❤
Best duo has to be Timbaland and missy
Singing duo is Aaliyah/Timbaland. Producing is Timbaland/Missy IMO
well yall forgot Mariah and Jermaine Dupri?
@@christinafazeera740 right
“where they at, the bat lair or something?” funny you say that because that’s exactly where this was shot! the cave used for the original Batcave
Clicked right away as I saw Aaliyah keep them coming👍
Man you’re so lucky ! I would love to hear those song for the first time all over again
Jack Reacts keep the good job bro ! We got you
I am a new SUBSCRIBER! love, love, love your reactions! SO genuine! No one has EVER done Adore by Prince, it is by far one of his BEST unknown works of art! truly brilliant work. The falsetto is off the damn hook! Every part of the song is FIRE!
GREAT reaction and feedback! I absolutely love Aaliyah. I was actually reminiscing, listening to her songs when TH-cam suggested your video lol. I agree, period. I think they were the best hip-hop/r&b duo. Now, I’ve GOT to tip my hat to Brandy and Darkchild, as well. Those two made magic together. ✨ But man...they never ceased to amaze me. And you right...he don’t be sayin’ nothin’...but it always sounds good! 🔥 🎶 🤣 And of course...Missy & Timbaland...another dynamic duo.
6:44 I just came here for this 😂
That's funny how you just noticed the "Baby" background almost last few minutes of the song!🤣
You noticed the baby laughing at the end 🤣. I was a jit around that time but I remember people used to talk about the way Tim used that in this beat.
In terms of duo, Missy & Timbaland are undefeated. They're the most genuine and creative tandem. They used to be in the studio making shit that they liked, not what was going on at the time, and it made a huge impact on the game.
They didn't have as many hits but the Neptunes and Kelis were a great duo (trio if you want to be specific) as well.
Man I remember riding around in my Civic with no AC that summer this came out. Hot af that summer in Houston. Memories 🔥🔥🔥
Please please please react to ‘I Care 4 U’ by Aaliyah, her vocals are UNMATCHED 👏🏼🥺
LMAO how not until the very end does Jack peep the very thing that most of us (who remember hearing & jamming to this song when it was out on the radio) said made the song SO fire..............................."is that a .....BABY??" ~ b.
u been droppin bangers lately.. this was a dope classic i been waiting
I would watch this video non stop. Loved this song takes me back to middle school!
This song is on the dr. Dolittle soundtrack
When the video first came out the move would occasionally play on the wall
India Arie - Video, Brown skin
Keyshia cole- Love, thought you had my back, I should've cheated
Monica - So gone
Ashanti- Foolish, Happy
Lupe Fiasco - Hurt me soul , kick push II
Destiny's child- no no no pt. 2 (Part 2 specifically with Wyclef jean)
This was for the Dr. Doolittle soundtrack. That why the animals and the lyrics are about keeping a secret. Yeah that’s a baby giggling. That’s what makes this song so unique.
You got to react to hot like fire omm 🔥🔥🔥
I went to the same High school as Aaliyah! Just different years. The Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts where she was a “dance major” & “vocal minor.”
yoooooo u paused at the most killer part of the song! lol much love Aaliyah! Great page bro
The music video was Aaliyah Try Again, the Asian guy in the music video is Jet Li. That is from her movie that she starred in with him called Romeo Must Die. That song was made to promote the movie.
React to If Your Girl Only Knew by Aaliyah & Back In One Piece by DMX ft Aaliyah
Hawk....I been watching you,like a hawk in the sky,that fly❤
Hes is cute asf and his voice is so deep but you know babygirl always delivers period
The baby cooing in the song background always gets me.
Its a baby lol because Aaliyah’s nickname was Baby Girl. Also she did this last part of the video (updated version of the Flamenco) because people always tried to (and failed, laughably so) to clown her for never dressing feminine. So she literally did this just to flip the bird in their faces and never did it again lol
Can you react to Mary J Blige? Definitely one of the strongest female vocalist I’ve ever heard!!
Jack Reacts Real Love, Be Without You, and Family Affair. These all have music videos to them but are some of her popular one’s.
Can you do, Aaliyah - I Don't Wanna or Back In One Piece next?
Yeah "Back in One Piece" featuring DMX is so DOPE!
Back in one piece is already up
@@TMKJG24 this was when it wasnt already up, thank you
New to the channel, immediately subscribed bro, awesome reactions and breakdowns of lyrics, production, and video quality. The baby coo was prob sampled from Prince’s “Delirious”, who sampled it from someone else. I feel like as a producer, you’d like Prince’s work since he pretty much did it all, I’d recommend “Way Back Home” or “The Dance” by Prince. Keep up the great work my guy, can’t wait to hear your material and see where this channel goes!
its the baby on the track for me!!! I love this video so much
On the Tim and Aaliyah note💯
Aaliyah - Age Aint Nothing But A Number
LOVE.
Although I adore Aaliyah, and Timbaland. I believe the best combination would have to be Brandy, and Dark Child. Check out the “never say never” album. “Sitting on Top of the world” feat. Mase, and “Almost doesn’t count” both have videos. Two have completely different vibes. I could recommend more, but I think that’s a good place to start.
Lmao@bat layer!!! Boy you wildin'!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
FUN FACT: Aaliyah and Timbaland only had one day to record this song for the Dr. Dolittle Soundtrack.
The baby laughing was sampled from a production company called rhino kids. It was the free movie or show part where they show production companies logos. Rhino was a regular production company that had an offshoot of children's programming called rhino kids.
Number 1 song for the whole school year
I had such a thing for her.sad day when she left us. . she is definitely still missed and this song is str8 fire
