Couldn't take my eyes of Aaliyah, what a beauty ...
Definition of Perfection : Aaliyah
@I Rose haters gonna hate
@I Rose once again.....haters gonna hate
@I Rose please shut the hell up.. you’re just mad you don’t look HALF as good as them.
@I Rose they are all 100% women
Look at the way they lean into each other. Look at how Aaliyah leans towards Missy. Body language tells you these ladies were really close and comfortable with each other
True! But it seems like aaliyah was moving away from kim and leaning toward Missey; it seems like aaliyah and kim probably had a disagreement or some dislike for e/o by their body language. And also kim looks uncomfortable sitting by her too. But both ladies showed maturity/class regardless. I think im reading too much into the video lol
@@ceeset5472 you are lol
@@ceeset5472 Aaliyah was leaning on her also she was leaning on both of each other! And they were just dancing and holding hands together so how does that mean they had a disagreement? Lil kim even wanted Aaliyah to be in her video!
@@marilynking3350 If you look earlier aaliyah was moving away from lil kim like they had had a disagreement behind the scenes. Also of course lil kim and aaliyah are going to pretend to be buddy buddy in front of the camera. Because their getting paid and it wouldn't look right if they wasn't interacting with e/o on camera. Also at the vmas when aaliyah was announced by Ricky Martin to achieve her award u could see lil kim giving her a jealous look. Like I said that's what it looked like to me. I could be wrong 🤷♀️
@@ceeset5472 you are if anything Lil Kim had love for Aaliyah like she was a little sister the only was doing what the camera crew was telling them to do they all had mad love for one another
Lil Kim shoulda never changed. She was drop dead gorgeous.
Yes she was now she looks scary
Facts.
She was abused and had no choice on the matter. If someone punched you in the face and broke your nose only to have everyone point out that you clearly had word done how would you handle the situation?
@@Boodeez get my nose fixed but not change my whole image. We ALL go through trauma in our lives but it is a choice to change who we are and that’s exactly what she did and now she’s unnoticeable. It doesn’t take away from all the hard work she put in though.
I agree...I always thought that Lil Kim was 🔥 back in the day. She looks exceptionally beautiful in this video.
Can we all just agree that Aaliyah was one of the most beautiful women to even bless the music industry.
@Jordan Barclay stfu she’s all natural bet ur insecure asf
Yes we can 👏🏾👏🏾
Her personality made her EVEN MORE beautiful
iAgree
was Aaliyah of mixed race? or purely black?
I can't stop staring at Aaliyah, I really miss her.
Me too💕
Same
Seriously
me too 🥺
Me too
I love how Missy ALWAYSSSS brought artists together...she's always been a source of LIGHT and Good Energy
I love how missy got a huge painting of aaliyah in her house still to this day
Yes, she's a unifier.
🎯🎯
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love missy❤
Aaliyah was highly intelligent and mature at 20 years old in this interview. RIP Beauty queen.
@Joel Johnson
Possibly yes
Yes she has an old soul
@Joel Johnson Not biggie and aaliyah. Aaliyah and 2pac yes. Aaliyah and dmx yes.
She was one of a few who always knew her self at a young age . I truly can identify with her maturity and intelligence at a young age, it was her age but not her mind set please believe that .
This is what people didn't know and understood about her , oh trust me I get it why ? Because I was of a different mind set than my pierce when I was younger .
Da Brat doesn't get enough flowers. The fact that 20 years later she is still in the game and didn't sacrifice her soul is major!! Congrats Queen!
Ummm carpet munching isn’t a sacrifice?
She will always get her flowers from me. One of my fav rappers ever! So funkdafied 👑
She has now smh
How do you know I hope that's true
I love Da Brat these ladies are all my favorites atleast use to be........
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't keep my eyes off of Lil Kim and Aaliyah they're so gorgeous
Yess lil Kim tho I was in awe watching her she has such a baby doll face
@BrandNewMale2TightBottmGoodGoodBody she had a unique look that really brought out the best in her. she didn't have to try harder. Stop it
@BrandNewMale2TightBottmGoodGoodBody I agree. Brat is beautiful too. Very pretty face.
Lil Kim loved her some Aaliyah
She look mean as hell though. Always frowning.
Everyone loved them some Aaliyah lol
@@IamCleo I feel you. That comment was just the perfect storm of ignorance.
@@lalasmitty4twenty538 Troll.
@@lalasmitty4twenty538 I’m all for calling out colorism but this ain’t it. Aaliyah was stunning with a beautiful personality to match. Everything ain’t colorism. Also, she wore extensions they were just more natural.
Its weird hearing Aaliyah curse lol Aaliyah looked so gorgeous she really was ahead of her time
Yes I was shocked 😂
You mean cuss?
Aaliyah was a fast ass little girl
@Dee Jayy she was 20 years old 😂
@@mayahtx5956 exactly they act like they wasnt cussing in high-school
Gotta love Missy for always looking fly and looking her best as a larger "dark skin" black female. She really deserves more credit for showcasing her beauty and being comfortable in the skin she is in...
Did you give back handed compliments to your mommy
@@introvertedcusp3364 My comment wasn't back handed...
@@introvertedcusp3364 Notice that I put the words "dark skin" in quotes. We as black people shouldn't need to call ourselves dark when our skin shades are the standard across the diaspora.
What does her shade have to do with her beauty? It's people like you that are part of the problem and why we are still so brainwashed.
@@egyptianqueen4007 Her being "dark skin" has everything to do with it. Notice I used quotes around "dark skin" (Those skin shades represent the majority of us across the diaspora), Missy has always been an icon & example to other black women especially "dark skin" women to be comfortable in one's skin. I mentioned "dark skin" because of the prevalent nature of colourism in society & especially in the music & entertainment industry. Missy has always transcended the fuckry...
Aaliyah brows was soooo on point. Just naturally beautiful.. still miss you baby girl
Yes ahead of the times
The gentleman that used to do her makeup just died, too :'( May he rest in peace :'(
She ain't your baby
@@r0bz1985 Lmao, that was her nick name dude.
R.I.p👼🏾🕊 baby girl🦋 Aaliyah🖤✨
I swear sometimes I can’t believe Aaliyah is gone 😥🙏🏽
Yes it feels that way
I know, right? smh
Its been 20 something years and it still hurt
@@inmyOWN_world it hasn’t been 20 years yet, it will be next year but the wound is still so fresh
It still hurts. Even after all these years,
a. Lil Kim was beautiful. b. RIP Aaliyah. c. MTV will never be this cool again.
What about Missy and Da Brat? Good job leaving them out 😂
If Kim would have stayed RIGHT THERE, with the surgeries. So pretty!!!
@J Crash Not really. At least they still played videos, and they had TRL
@J Crash Hate to break it to you, but I was actually an 80's kid.
Right!
Seeing this in HD, it’s unbelievable how beautiful Aaliyah was
Natural beauty
Kim was such a cutie. People really got into her head about her looks and lied to her a lot.
And she believed them
2pac in hit'em up 😛
@@traviswashington9111 what did he say something about her?
@@traviswashington9111 just caught it
She really was a cutie
Aaliyah, Aaliyah, Aaliyah... such a captivating beauty with a dope ass personality to match. She’s so comfortable and funny in this. I wish we could see her react to this video on her Instagram today. 😢
She’s reacting to it in heaven lol 😂
Perfectly said
Nah hell you done made me drop tears
i miss her too
Ok this video is gold
MrC
Ikr
Stole my comment lol
💯💯💯
Yes
When natural beauty was appreciated, no surgery or enhancements and not everyone looking the same... miss them days
You and me both
Back then women were uniquely beautiful. I appreciated so many sisters that looked different. Missy Elliott reminds me of my childhood friend. Just unique...why did we have to change that lordhavemercy. This was a good one MTV!
Exactly
There's nothing wrong with enhancements, getting it over done is the problem
Exactly ‼️
Aaliyah is an angel. She’d undoubtedly be at the top of the game right now. The industry today was shaped so much by these women
Okay calm tf down. Aaliyah was no Madonna or Janet Jackson.
@@icytakaqi9en947 yes she was lmao she created her own genre of music with Timbaland, and her her own set style that girls are copying to this day
@@icytakaqi9en947 she was definitely on her way for her era. Everyone knew who Aaliyah was, especially when she crossed over into acting.
I was her biggest fan as a kid but idk about this statement. I loved her style, music, etc but her voice wasn’t quite there yet. Her voice needed some work now that I listen to her. It was beautiful but not better than most artists today. I’m sure it would’ve gotten better if she were still here, kind of like with most artists who sound wayyyyy better than when they started
whaaaat??? I can think that we can all agree that hip hop and R&B is not the same now as it was in the 90s!!!
So many legends at this shoot!
Love Aaliyah's look, she was so pretty
Legends.......That’s more like it!
All of them were beautiful.
she still is
@@jonathansmith8844 But she's dead.
Idk if she can still be pretty
@@noemistephanie93 ummmm she did say in the past tense "was"😒
I love how Aaliyah was able to be herself which looks so silly fun funny and yet still so very sweet at the same time once she really got to know someone. She was truly a beautiful soul.
Beautiful.
Love her so much. She was sooo beautiful.
It's crazy how laid Aaliyah's hair was in the 90's....no lace fronts for her! ..and make up on point!
Yes it’s crazy that her hair looks better then these girls hairs nowadays... I thought the newer days everything suppose to get better
@@nasirwest6502 exactly
her hair is pretty but she did wear weave sometimes her hair look thicker and longer in different videos
That was her actual hair too
@@lovelytt5409 she only wore extensions for thickness the length is all hers.
They are all so pretty.
Very uniquely beautiful
90s baby!
Lil Kim WAS back then.. not anymore. I wanted to propose to her back n those days if I met her...now I'd be like "go away lady...and hurry up 👋
@The Guy stfu, don't dare speak on black women looks again in your life span if you don't have anything nice to say gtfo.
Still hard to believe Aaliyah is no longer here. She had so much more to give and still would have been relatively young. A terrible shame😔.
RIP Queen🙌🏿
Aaliyah was just gorgeous. She had such a natural beauty and glow. Rest in heaven, Aaliyah. Gone too soon. ♥️🙏🏾
Aaliyah was truly so pretty
i love how aaliyah always surrounded herself with strong, independent, beautiful, intelligent black women. she was ahead of her time musically and culturally. she was so mature at a young age.
More lightskin she is
why do ppl always say aaliyah was ahead of her time that always confuses me bcs i dont think she was
@@dclark_ she definitely was and that can’t be taken away from her.
@@alazjaw.8968 i know i worded it wrong but idk what yall mean when yall say that
@@dclark_ she was just very mature for her age & her music seems to hold up better than the music of most other artists from the 90s
These are the OG's of hip hop & RB! Missy & DaBrat were always Tom boyish, Lil Kim was all about that glam glam, and Aaliyah was in between. These 4 women were tight. Aaliyah is so missed! 😥
Aaliyah was so gorgeous and down to earth. I cried when she passed. They'll never be another like her. She's definitely missed. Rest in peace Aaliyah!
Absolutely 🙈
Aaliyah's personality was golden.
I was named after her I was born a year after she died
Word. God Bless this Beautiful, talented Queen. I'm so sad about her death, all these years later, you would think I knew her. Tragedy. R.I.P. Aaliyah. Left Eye, too..
A lot of people say if she hasn’t passed Beyoncé and a few others wouldn’t be as big as they are now
Aaliyah in HD? And cursing? Love this
Edit: like tbh it's not the cursing that I love but the fact that she was telling FACTS. It's amazing to see more interview snippets are coming out after all these years. This is fan service!
SAME 😂😂
What time stamp did she cuss

“We know who we are. Y’all find out who y’all are.” -Da Brat
Loved that!!
THAT PART!
No idea who Da Brat is.
@Glockiana 17 You must be young, even just 15-20 years ago it was still a time when artists coming out wasn’t an every day thing and they were scared of what it could do to their careers. They felt like they had to hide who they are that doesn’t mean denial lol
😂🤣that line killed me too honestly thier taken they need to find thier own
Aaliyah stands out from the pack most definitely. She has a humble aura about herself.
She's the youngest one, but also the oldest
I think she was in Learning mode. Willing to soak up as much knowledge as she could, which cannot be acquired through talking so much and being a know it all. Learning is fun and she was an Angel. I miss her so
Definitely Lil Kim!
Nah she stands out because she was the PRITTEST Just say the truth
Lil Kim for me❤
Lil Kim looked like a bratz doll. Beautiful, petite and exotic ( for lack of a better word ) looking.
@trutj22 she was absolutely stunning but didn't believe it herself, that's just heartbreaking imo... 💔 Kim was my idol back in the day, & I still have love for her. She was one hell of a trailblazer!
@@Little-Sparrow yes ...its very sad she could not see her own beauty
I love bratz lol
@@harajukudollie1016 my eldest daughter wanted to BE a bratz doll as a young'un 😂
Never realized that 😂 your right 💯
I don’t think the young generation know how important MTV was.
Michael Jackson made MTV important.
MTV> BET
Back in the 90s you had the grind on MTV ,TRL music video I miss this time.
@@marcuswainright952 thats how i came to know about mtv tbh i thought mtv was just a music channel on my tv😂
MTV originally didnt want to be bothered with black music and sure didnt want rap. Michael Jackson changed all of that.
Kim looked tf good idk who told her different 😍😍😍
I know it’s so sad 😞 she’s beautiful 😍
She did look so damn good
She was a victim of abuse
Black men told her...she said it in an interview
She really did❤️
"We ain't tripping. We know who we are. Yall find out who yall are!" --Da Brat
note to Da Brat: You may know who you are, but the music industry may not let you be who you are.
@@aurorarene9909 Ezactly..Whitney always preached"Can I be me?"
Brat just now "coming out" when in all actuality the world always knew what time it was...way back then! Girl, please do you. No one is tripping... things understood don't need to be explained❗🕵
What a time 🥹
Aaliyah was gorgeous and her voice was so therapeutic. ❤️
Aaliyah had a humility, grace, purity about herself as opposed to other women in the rap game. They are all beautiful women, but Aaliyah's presence or lack thereof stands out to me more as a woman.
Yes... Aaliyah truly was one in a million... and her music and influence she brought to the industry will go on...and on...and on.... RIP Angel
Beat voice is therapeutic as well
Exactly
I’m so broken Lil Kim couldn’t see how beautiful she is 🥺 God this is a legendary video
@BrandNewMale2TightBottmGoodGoodBody I am talking about her face 😂 she changed features that were beautiful because people in the industry told her those features were not beautiful. Under all the make up and surgeries she’s still the same person in the video. Just wish she saw how beautiful she is back then so she did not get the surgeries she got ruining her unique features.
@Lorenzo Stewart lmao every body who ever trashed her looks were bm. Tf are u taking about?
So legendary
There was something unexplainable about Aaliyah.
Her aura was strong
Truly. Magnetic and I can see why she was called home so early.
just b saying this about anybody who dies
@@chalayaWe said this about her while she was alive. How old are you?
@@chalaya I'm certain this would not be said about you.
Is no one going to comment that missy has not even aged a day 😲
Truth 🙌🏾
Yeah she stills looks the same 21 years later.
Adrena c
Hell yes. Love these women. Missy still looks fantastic 😁
Exactly
Aaaw when all shades and styles of black women was accepted, celebrated, and mainstream!!! I miss this!!!
Lil Kim was so beautiful she didn't need them surgeries 😭
I know, right? R.I.P
To that old beautiful gorgeous brown Kim.
She got abused
The first one she got cus a broken nose she said
It’s crazy how fucking gorgeous she was and she let biggie (who even called himself “black and ugly as Eva”) make her feel that her brown skin wasn’t beautiful enough 😞😞
Kim still look good. I hate when people say this shit.
Aaliyah was an amazing singer. I am still sad that she is no longer with us. Just imagine the star that she would be today. She already had a head start in singing, dancing, & acting.
It just isn't fair. 😔
She's supposed to be here amongst the living today. She's not here because of someone else's mishap.
She would have dominated the music industry and acting industry if she was alive today
Aaliyah and Lil Kim looked like they really loved each other...they look comfortable together. 5:09
Yes love the friendship Aaliyah has with Kim in her teenage years and her great friendship with missy
Ya I noticed that too. That's real friendship right thurrr
Yes I notice. That too the first bestfriends. Lilkim is a cancer alliha. Is a beautiful capricon and they do get alone good
That was a beautiful moment shared between them two
Everyone loved Kim. People have always said that she was a sweetheart.
The Authentic Kim was beautiful ... she probably wasn’t told often
She's so tiny here
I really think the problem was within herself...
She was extremely gorgeous! All of them wow are so refreshing to look at. Wish she stayed this way :( but this big ass cheek bone filler movement took off🥴 bring natural back
I agree
Or she just didn’t believe it
This video look like it was taken yesterday and it brings back memories growing up in that time when style was different(better) compared to now. It's great to see all of those legends enjoying they're time makes me emotional knowing Aaliyah can't be with them again physically but spiritually 🙏
The styling was everything in this shoot, simple yet very edgy.
@@DajuanH. I know right love the dark clothes
@Veronica DeBoest yes...
Did you check out Missy nails? White and that's all I see now. White toes and nails. As they say now It's a vibe...
enjoying their time*
Aaliyah 😍
Words can’t explain how much I miss Aaliyah 😩
Me too
Damn Aaliyah’s beauty was so commanding she kept me captivated rip angel 👼🏾 we miss u💖🙏🏾
Aaliyah was such a stunning beauty. Her music, her style was so cutting edge and she was 10 years ahead before everybody else. So was Missy, Kim and Brat, these ladies laid the blueprint for hip hop and r&b today.
Kim was adorable that surgery was not needed on her at all. A beautiful brown skinned woman and Aaliyah was just so damn beautiful. I wish she was still here. RIP Aaliyah 👼🏾
Yes lilkim. Is was beyond average
Yes girl, she destroyed herself 😔
As lomg as she feels good about it
@@adriena.samuels9726 Lil Kim was gorgeous. I couldn’t stop looking at her and Aaliyah
@@SLuMberMoOn7 Yes she truly did and for eternity too smh
Can we all admire how clear the video is. And man Aaliyah was beautiful. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her.
They all are Beautiful ❤️❤️
Love to see how open Aaliyah is here. Her shyness isn’t showing here.
My thoughts exactly! You can tell she was very comfortable with the ladies.
She around her closest friends in the industry at the time missy and Kim
Nasir West Da brat was her close friend as well. Da brat talks about her.
Cortez Miller da brat wasn’t around Aaliyah as much as Kim and missy was
Aaliyah was goofy AF! when i watch her vids around people shes comfortable with she has me laughing so hard like i was there lol She just had to be comfortable with you
The way Aaliyah pronounced her name should be highlighted
Ikr
Ik I hate when people pronounce it the wrong way, she pronounced it that way. Timbaland says it that way too in their popular song “are you that somebody?”
i had to rewind it twice and thinking the same thing
I checked that
right she say ahhh-lee-yah and then ppl be like uhh-lee-yah lol
It makes me so proud to see this. The power in Black Unity is everything.
@Nef Faraj
LOL!
@Nef Faraj ,🎯💯🏆👏🏿👆🏾👏🏿
lil kim didn’t need plastic surgery at all
Not at all so sad that she didn’t know her worth...damn such a beautiful girl
She'd already started the plastic surgery before this...
Yeah she didn't but it was her inner self that made her change she been through domestic abuse some guy broke her nose and after that she was never the same domestic abuse is a real serious thing in life
At ALL!
@Roena Williams yea it’s wild
Aaliyah was proof. Proof that angels walked the Earth
I don’t know about that lol
She was too pure for this nasty corrupted world along with the demon spawns of Hollywood and the music entertainment industry that viewed her as some type of sexual object. I’m glad she didn’t see the reality of how this wicked world runs and toxic abuse that goes on quietly in that industry.
Missy has ALWAYS been BDE, and she looks like she's aged 6 years since then....it was more than 20 years ago!! Da Brat is so gorgeous - her eyes, eybrows, forehead..gorgeous.
I always said Da Brat is so pretty. There was an episode of The Surreal Life where she was all dolled up with make up and did her hair and she was beautiful.
I miss female artist like Kim, Missy, Brat, Aaliyah, Mary J, Lefteye etc. This was seriously the golden age for female artists
I loved Aaliyah, only person I ever wanted to be like... The prettiest woman ever. RIP AALIYAH
*one of a billion beautiful women. Us black beauties don’t age 🥰
Yesss
I said what I said🙄 THE PRETTIEST WOMAN EVER.
@@brittneyspinks9251 🧐👌😍❤️❤️❤️Facts sis 💯lol 💅 Aaliyah will 4 ever be my fave ⭐.
@Tiffy Raya oh I know... trying to be politically correct 🙄🤣🤣🤦♀️💀
Aaliyah would have been the Greatest and the Best Musician had she not passed away tragically. Noone can be compared to her
Missy Elliot is the mother out of this group of friends.
You mean father
I see it more as Aaliyah. She was very mature Nd wise at such a young age
Tatiana Er Aaliyah’s more so level headed big sis.
Yes!
Well missy is the oldest anyway in the group and Aaliyah the youngest
Dabrat's makeup is on point.
Even until this day ❤️
I noticed that too! Honestly, the late 90s/early '00s makeup 💄 and ESPECIALLY brows were SO GOOD! Never too harsh, it looked feminine and polished without looking overdone. The way people overdo the contouring, highlighting, and brows today is not cute.
They all looked great and actually had talent. Now everyone is botched and untalented. smh. Lisa wasn't there but I have to mention her because she was a doll.
As usual
Its called skincare... She says she doesn't wear makeup. She takes care of her skin
It's funny hearing Aaliyah cuss cause she seems so sweet and innocent.
You can cuss and still be innocent
Right
Ikr!!!!!
@@kingofkombat7304 mmm swearing isn’t rlly innocent tho 😂
Awwww, why does lil kim seem so soft spoken and shy? haha she's so adorable! When she raps her voice changes dramatically, but when she speaks she sounds so sweet and innocent. As a kid I use to listen to her album, it was the pink one (I don't remember what it was called). Looking back at it now, I'm surprised my mom didn't care haha
Kim was sweet. . So sad alot of black men are not able to treat these precious ladies like the queens they are.I tend to believe alot of black men do not love their blackness and take it out on the black woman. Any man can see that Kim was very pretty ...always easier to pick on the black woman then get help dealing with their own insecurities. So sad ...adults with their inner little boy and girl in pain.
Her first album was pink and is named Hardcore. People call it the female rap bible cuz of its huge influence down to this day. Her 2nd album was also pink btw, Notorious KIM… less hostoric but more Barbie and fun!
How in the hell has it been 23 years and I'm just now seeing this clip. Aaliyah has and always will be my idol
Me too. 😬
Aaliyah was the first celebrity death that genuinely had me hurting inside.
My first was tupac, but yes, her death was a crusher
Me 2
Pac for me, then Big, baby girl, and left eye.
Me too, her death hit different
Right? I loved Tupac and was sad but Aaliyah was MY person. I cried for a week straight. I was nauseous, couldn't listen to her music. Crazy part is, the night of the crash I lost my appetite and didn't know why. I found out the next morning what had happened.
I love how they were their on person and comfortable in their skin. That is what it was all about authenticity and being diversely black.
Sadly that didn't last for Lil Kim, getting all that plastic surgery doesn't even look like herself anymore. Can't imagine how much she got tore down to go through all that.
Lil Kim was not comfortable in her own skin. Even in this she had the LONG fake BLOND hair down to her butt, blue contacts and lighter than her color foundation. This was 21 years ago!
“Sup I’m Aaliyah” she was so girly and gangsta bro 🥺.
After watching this I was like damn I didn't know Aaliyah was about that life!!! 🤣
@@rahra2483 she grew up in Detroit... i mean...
Right, I'm looking like Aaliyah... ♥️😏☺️, while holding my chest. I'm kinda shocked about her 2 second dominant personality I just saw. Miss her much
Street, but Sweet 💯
You right on point! Aaliyah was the only female artist that could pulled that off. She could be Princess Diana when she wanted to and still managed to be a "G" when she around the Hip hop crowd. Aaliyah is one of one!
Lil Kim’s face card here was gorgeous FR 😍💯
These kids will never know how powerful this clip is
The guy doing aaliyah's make up at 0.21 (Eric) died Nov 2020. R.I.P...he did her make up throughout her career so good!. He chose to stay behind the day Aaliyah and her crew died😢
May Eric now also rest in peace.
Imagine, this was 1999 and Aaliyah looks better than most do now😄
Just like Aaliyah his Talent was timeless...
Wow I didn’t know that. The makeup he did for her last album was ahead of its time.
R.I.P.
I thought he was on the plane with her?
@@lilmyateno6 That wasn't him...their names was Anthony Dodd and Eric Forman that was w Aaliyah that terrible day..Eric Ferrell stayed behind
Exactly
These are the real legends,I love them all.I didn't grow up in this era but my parents make sure that I know their music and legacy.POWERFUL WOMEN
Finally! y’all had this in the vault all this time MTV? Either way they all look so good 😍
Yessss
Hell where has this been. Saw one clip of it on Instagram last night.
@@Princess97895 I know they got more Aaliyah videos and photos locked in the vault, please release them MTV
Classic
Right! They should of been put this up! But in a way its nice to see something new!
this is where kim should've stopped. she looks great here.
I don’t think she even got started right here. So original so beautiful
💯
Agreed
She hadn't started the surgeries yet...this was Lil Kim's original beauty..
She was natural here lol. No surgeries. You blind or must not have been a fan if you can’t tell🤦🏾♀️
Lil Kim is so pretty ,cute and adorable here,like doll ,WHY did she think she was ugly ,I will never understand it
So unfortunate if Lil Kim had low self esteem and thought she was unattractive because she was beautiful. I remember during that time she started altering her face when she started to hang with Donatella Versace. If only Kim had realized that she was already beautiful and didnt need to go that route following after Donatella.
Her dad and Biggie Smalls did a number on her self-esteem. They were major colorists and featurists.
Babe was in them streets since 15 and treated in a manner in which she thought she was Ugly.
She was badly beaten in a domestic situation. Much of the surgery was to help her recover... not just cosmetic by choice
She thought she was ugly?
Aaliyah her eyes 🥺
Who TF disliked this? I’m literally in tears watching this. This was special. Originality at it best! Black beauty being showcased. Female empowerment and ugh Aaliyah! Just everything in one! Too much to take.
I've never seen this! Aaliyah looked like she shot this taday...such a timeless beauty
I can't even finish watching this. Back when times were happier...😢😢 #90sbaby #childhoodmemories 😔😔
Such a breath of fresh air to see this. Aaliyah wasn't normally as assertive in interviews as she is here, which tells me she felt very comfortable in that space to speak her mind. I was so immersed in this video that I didn't even think it would end until it did. I could've watched hours more.
Same I totally agree
Right - it even made me want to look up what Aaliyah was up to right now - smh - only because it seemed so new and now - so fresh. They were ahead of their time. I miss this type of unity in music. There were beefs but it was real stuff from the streets....not about instagram. When people were mad, they were mad for real - but when they were good, it was love like this. Beautiful.
Watch more of her interviews from 2001. She def was becoming more confident and assertive
False a lot of her interviews especially towards the end of her career she was
Because she was around her closest friends in the industry at the time missy and Kim
lil Kim was very pretty and did not need any surgery. All 4 are legends.
YES!!!
sadly black people were not happy with her blonde hair and green contacts back then either....
Her surgery started after her nose was broken by an abusive boyfriend. I think a lot of her relationship with plastic surgery is related to abuse from men, she suffered a lot of abuse and manipulation from men in her career and personal life...
@@adiosgamer3793 That's not true
@@marshascott4220 i was around when biggie got shot and yes it's true
They're all so pretty. Wow.
The fact that Da Brat mentioned they need to have their own show at a time when it wasn’t even thought of for celebs to have their own reality show is gold captured on camera. Someone needs to give her credit for having the idea first lol. Imagine if they did get their own show at the time. Would have broken tv ratings records.
@Nef Faraj "Bad boys bad boys what chu gonna do, what chu gonna do when they come for you" 😂
There had been tons of reality celeb shows before this
@@Multifacted_Brotha True but I was referring to already famous celebrities getting their own show.
@@-M0LE As a 90’s kid I don’t remember seeing famous people get their own reality show until the early 2000s. I remember Ozzy Osbourne getting his own reality show first then Paris Hilton with the Simple Life. I’m also not counting 90’s reality shows like The Real World I’m talking about reality shows featuring celebs famous prior to their reality shows.
Aaliyah looked so beautiful 😩😍
What a time! Back when Aaliyah was still alive, Da Brat was still in the mainstream, before Missy lost all her weight and when Kim was looking beautiful and had her original face and skin tone! Loved being a teenager in the 90's listening to real hip hop and rap.
Pre 911
Yaaaaaaas❤
Da Brat is short but next to them she seems tall. They all are beautiful RIP Aaliyah
Man how could lil Kim do that to herself, she was gorgeous
I don't know how true it is. But have you ever heard she was beaten up very baby by a boyfriend and broke bones in her face? I know they all try to make up cover ups to why they "had to have" plastic surgery. I read that in an article tho. I wanted to know if that was true
@@missdelishes24 ohhh shit....if it is thats fucking awful, and would take back my preconception upon that
@@ladeeda9 it’s actually true! But one of the main reasons it’s because men mistreated her and used to put her self-esteem down. And this affected her, a mental abuse. So she started searching for a “European” pattern, which was all the men were looking for. Every men that she had a relationship with, used to body shame her, and put her down, because they’d say she wasn’t pretty, or she wasn’t attractive. One of them even attacked her, breaking her nose. So she started spending on these procedures year by year, because of all the abuse that she’s been through. So it’s kind of rude when people say like “She shouldn’t have done, she’s uglier now”, since it’s not her fault. She was mentally abused, and was mistreated because of how she looked.
Usually the most gorgeous people be the most insecure on the inside, So no matter how many may have told her she’s pretty, Until she believed it it didn’t matter,
@@reydneesouza7647 so i've heard. stuff like that can mess u up. her luv even went for 2 extremely lightskinned women faith and charli.
This is like the four horsewomen of the apocalypse joining forces. Avenger level shit 🔥
😂😂
Truth!!!
I marvel at how timeless Aaliyah’s sense of style was. Literally, if you look at her makeup and hair, while she sits amongst them, all of it can still looks good right now. I’m not a makeup artist but legit it looks like the clean looks that women wear in 2021 lol
Isn’t that kinda crazy?!
lol because all our generation´s styles are being imitated
duh
Nothing new under the sun 😏
It’s due in part to her simple sense of style. Not simple as in bad. But having fewer things going on in your look means you’ll less likely look dated.

We copy the 90s style
How is this 20 years ago damn all beautiful ladies, Aaliyah was just ooohhh soo stunning man
They look like they were having so much fun together, just vibing, doesn't even look like they were working on a set
Thanks for this!!! I love the moment at 5:10 with Aaliyah and Lil Kim 😅 There's not a lot of footage of Aaliyah interacting and having fun with her peers. Please release more Aaliyah clips 💯
Definitely!
They definitely looked like a couple there. Lol
😀I am glad to see your face here man! I was notified about this video and I just had to watch it right away. This a rare gem right here! This needs to be saved for the special archives for real. They all look totally lovely here in their own ways. I even thought the Da Brat gave off a special kind of beauty here. Which all of them are beautiful and special. I would love to see a video of you talking about this and the feel you go from it. I loved this! Aaliyah being the only singer in the group was holding her own and had some interesting thoughts on women in music.
Absolutely. I'd love to see more footage like this.
Opllllll
These kids have no idea what this was. This was love.
Black Sisterhood
The very love this generation will never know
Real talk I’m so so glad to experienced this
@@destinixshakur definitely
That part
💐🙌🏽🤍
Aaliyah was so beautiful, rest in peace baby girl 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️
I wish Aaliyah would still alive. She is amazing I love her
What happened to her?
@@jadenshorrock1804 She was killed in a helicopter crash with 8 others after filming her music video for “Rock the Boat” in 2001.

Imma need for people to stop calling her black woman when she was biracial
@Tiffy Raya so is she a fully black woman or not
The amount of charisma oozing from lil Kim is off the charts. What a legend.
They were genuine and confident I love it ❤️
