🤦🏽♂️ the Bahamas is apart of America. But, I agree they shouldn't have left the mainland to go to an island. I'm aware the Bahamas is it's own country and apart of the United Nations but, I don't care. Aaliyah went there so that's enough for me to say she claimed it as American territory. She showed up and took over the scene😌 R.I.P Babygirl🙏🏽👼🏾
I haven't seen this clip in a very long time. Brought back a lot of memories. About four months after Aaliyah's passing, I discovered that I was pregnant. My due date: August 25, 2002, exactly one year later. It sent chills down my spine. My daughter was born two weeks earlier than the due date and for some reason, I couldn't decide on a name for her. I gave my son who was 10 years old at time the opportunity to name his sister. He decided to name her Aaliyah. My daughter didn't even know who Aaliyah was until I played, "Rock The Boat" one day and she told me that she liked the music. At that point, I explained to her where her name came from. I've always felt like I had some kind of connection to her and that connection is my daughter who is now 14 years old. RIP Aaliyah Dana Haughton. Gone, but never forgotten.
@@foreverwander0320 my mom was actually supposed to meet her for like a fan hangout two days after she got off the plane. My mom was devastated for 3 yrs and still is every time I bring her up. But my mom still dance to her music but when she do ... a tear always falls down her eye.. true story
diana Lee she didn't see it nor she helped edit it. She died right after leaving the set. The only thing she saw was the raw footage on the camera screens.
It's so fucking sad watching all 3 of them at 13:30 laughing, having fun and just enjoying life. Little did they know their demise was just around the corner. Very scary thought.
Wait hold on the first time u saw the video was back in 2001 when it was first aires/released or whatever? I did see her swimming up the ocean towards a light in the end of the video... but... when I like FIRST saw this (like a few months ago) I didn't really get any vibes.
I keep telling people everything went to shit after Aaliyah died and 9/11 attack. The music changed, the movies changed, society changed. It’s like living in a new dimension.
The trip to the Bahamas was added at the last minute and not part of the original production plan. I remember Rashad saying that at the time. They truly could have went to places in America and got the same effect. Florida Keys has majestic beaches.
@Nakita Williams and Monica who was so hurt when Aaliyah died .. Monica said it took a while for her to recover from Aaliyah's death . The pics of her leaving Aaliyah funeral heart my soul..she was crying so hard
It's very rare that a person's outer beauty is matched by the inner beauty. She was a kind, sweet soul and very humble. FOREVER MISSED, NEVER FORGOTTEN 💔❤️
Aaliyah One in A Million no one compares to her multi talented, naturally gorgeous inside and out humble, compassionate, sweet creative artist ! Forever missed loved all over the 🌎 world. Aaliyah Princess of Pop & RB inducted into the hall of fame for her contributions to music long after her tragic death 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵
It’s so incredibly sad, seeing all of the people who died in the crash with her. They aren’t mentioned enough. As I’m sure their families are all still grieving too. They thought they were just heading home.
@@annieschmannie8962Yeap and that's really sad I really hate that happened to her and everybody But Aye planes crash All the time And Aaliyah and Kobes death are technically the reason til this day Why I can't stand to get on Planes and why I never Rode on one 💯💯 chance you're Taking
The fact that on the day of the 25, the only footage shown of those who perished, no one looked happy. Not even our baby girl. She even flashed a not so genuine grin, which was never like her. She never hesitated to smile. They all seemed tired of course, but it's just so eerie to see people who always seemed so happy, to be so sad on their final day. It just puts a lot into perspective to me. Appreciate your days as they come. Rest beautifully dearest Aaliyah and the other passengers TAKEN away from us so early. You are truly truly missed and not a day goes by that your are not inspiring us here! -Jerron Couture ♥
she honestly don't sound too happy, I just look like she knows something is majorly off, but shes very professional so she did her job. She loved her fans.
she was tired as other ppl mentioned plus whilst i think she was a positive person, people who knew her for a long time said that after the horrible stuff with r.kelly happened, she was never really the same. she’d get bouts of anxiety and would be in low moods
Someone said she was scared of the small plane and they offered her a bigger plane since she didn’t like smaller planes but she went ahead with the smaller plane
I don't understand why they shot the clip in the Bahamas? Most of the scenes were shot in the studio ... If they had shot the music clip elsewhere, where no plane is needed, Aaliyah would still be alive
WHY COULDN'T THEY FILMED IT ALL ON THE GREEN SCREEN, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE BAHAMAS LIKE NO ONE WILL CARE CUZ IT WAS 2001 AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET AWAY WITH THAT , IT'S LIKE IT WAS PLANNED OR SOMETHING
jubbie bean guys don’t be fooled by the industry it was planned Aaliyah didn’t know obviously but her uncle Barry Hankerson had something to do with it
Aw you can tell her aura changed once she got to the Bahamas. Such a beautiful young woman, gone way too fast, so humble and vibrant. Rest in paradise queen, you left a positive legacy like you wanted. We love you!
I've been a fan of Aaliyah since her debut in 1994. Her progress as an artist was just pure perfection! In my opinion she is the most innovative female artist of the last 25 years. The blueprint to so much of what most people are only catching onto today. Hair, makeup, fashion sense etc all at just 22 yrs old. In her 7 yrs in the entertainment industry she most definitely left a legacy that can never be overshadowed. Not to mention she slayed this video like no other. She was so ahead of time with so much more to give.
What's eerie about this is that it was the last moments before the tragic occurrence. This goes to show that it is important to live like it is your last day on earth. RIP Aaliyah❤
What makes me so curious is, if Hype wanted her to do that video so badly over there n knew she was hesitant about being on planes, why didn't he ease her by riding on that same plane with?! Don't give me that crap, he knows who made plans to off Aaliyah! That's why he wasn't on that plane! 😡😡😡😡😡
everything just looks so eerie and liminal space-like. she doesn’t look genuinely happy. accidents happen but this was no accident and beyond preventable.
She wore a few hair clips for glam the length was definitely hers she wore pieces for her videos and performances it comes with the territory she had her own head full of gorgeous hair though. Either way she was GORGEOUS and absolutely fabulous and we all miss her
@@aleeyah2218 how come a black woman can NEVER Just get a compliment? She always had long hair as a child and both her Mom and Grandma had long and full hair.
People fussing over the gender of an imaginary thing. Lmao! So if god needed his/her/its angel, why send it in the first place? And why does god need anything? Can't he/she/it just create more things?
Notthefather God is real. he is up in Heaven and whoever believes in him will see him and Jesus when they die someday and will see there loved ones that died too.
Angela m that's a nice fairytale, but it's not real. Sorry that you've been brainwashed into believing that nonsense, but you can't tell me that as fact when you're just repeating what you've been told. When you're dead you're dead. There's no fantasy at the end.
Notthefather Oh ok. and no that isn't true God and Jesus are real and people that believe in him when they die will go to Heaven. you don't know what your saying.
I remember I had just turned 10 yrs old and how much I loved romeo must die. I thought she was the prettiest woman ever. When my Mom came home and told me that she died I was devastated. I stayed up the whole night listening to her music on the radio. I'll always love her.
chrissy K I was 18; it was the year I graduated and I remember almost everything about that summer. The VMAs after her death when they honored her was one of the last pre-9/11 things I remember. Such and eerie year.
@@angela3403 I was 11yrs old. I miss her too, I wish she were still here until this day. I didn't grieve over her because I was dealing with my own mental issues but later on the grief caught up with me after listening to her music again. It brought back memories. 😢😢😢
I just turned 12 and I’m obsessed with Aaliyah. When I was watching this it gave chills it made me feel so sad. Rip Aaliyah and the others who were in the plane. May they fly high in heaven 🌸
I was born in 03 and I’ve always grown up with Aaliyah’s music but lately her whole aura and spirit has really captivated me. The pain that there is knowing we’ll never know what all she would’ve accomplished but having these memories and seeing how her influence carried on, she did everything she wanted🤎🕊️not another like you babygirl
I hope on August 25 bet either releases this in hd or releases some more unreleased behind the scenes footage of rock the boat or of some behind the scenes footage of more than a women.
Wow it's just so sad that she never even got the chance to see this very beautiful work of art of hers. This was painful to watch back than and still is hard to watch it now. She was so cute in the pool when she was shooting the under water scene she was like "OH NO BOO BOO THIS AIN'T GONNA WORK" lol when she was trying to go under to hold her breath lol I remember I was 11 years old at the time and I was coming from church on a Sunday and my friend told me AALIYAH died and I did not believe him at all that whole day. Than it flashed on MTV NEWS later that night when I was watching MTV that AALIYAH was dead and i remember getting so upset I jumped up and punched the door so hard in my den room. It was like i never got so upset over a celbs death before like I did with AALIYAH'S. I remember that being my 1st time in my lifetime of being aware and old enough to remember a singers death at that time and experiencing it and the emotions and grief and sorrow i felt for her mom and brother Rashad. 2001 i will never forget that year. Then I remember around that time destiny's child released emotions from the survivor album back than and the video came on and i just really cried and was heartbroken hearing that song just thinking of AALIYAH'S passing i remember that whole week just felt so un-surreal to me for some odd reason. Like in my head this is just a dream and that i'm gonna wake up and AALIYAH will be back to life doing her thing and that the whole thing was just not real and a joke. That's how I felt. like i remember feeling just so spaced out that week. Then I used to love to draw and sketch pictures in school so i remember always drawing lots of pictures of AALIYAH while in class. Also i remember me and my mom watching this making of access granted and i remember my mom saying she looked like an ANGEL floating to the top of the surface in the water scene. RIP AALIYAH she will never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be replaced i don't care how many artist TIMBO and Missy decide to work with no one can ever give AALIYAH vibes. no tweet no keri hilson no nelly furtado no one. AALIYAH was truly one in a million. I find it so ironic that one in a million song really justifies AALIYAH'S whole artistry and the person she was ONE IN A MILLION.
Wow. Ur words are truly mesmerizing. Really touch my heart. I cried. Is so beautiful what u wrote. Coincidentally I was exactly the same age as u. Bout to turn 11 pretty much. She was a true artist n legend🎨🎭🙋 🎤🎼🎹🎶. Gone too soon. Aaliyah ur music will. Never ever die. Rest well sweet baby girl.
I knew Christopher. He dated my best friend for a couple months. Very nice guy, and it's eerie actually hearing his voice again. Takes me back to 1996.
@@Rasheedshepard2 Toots was his nickname. He died instantly in the Plane Crash. Eric Foreman and Keith Wallace and Scotty Gallin all were awake when it happened, and later died at the Hospital.
There is something in my heart to share with all the heads who've been affected by Aaliyah's death. I'm pretty sure most of you remember exactly what you're doing when you learned the news that Aaliyah had passed. It was so hard and heavy especially because she was so busy and feeding us what was needed for the industry at that time. The pain was so severe for everyone and still to the day it's hurts but it's time to heal you guys. Watching this used to be so hurtful but now it's healing because we get to watch Aaliyah happy in her last days on this earth. I'm pretty sure Aaliyah wants us to move on and not be so sad. I'm almost 💯 sure that she is not sad. Learn who you are spiritually and not be so attached to this physical body because one day this body is going to fail us in one way or another. We are spirit before anything else and it's time to nurture the spirit, allow the pain to come through and let it go. Why things hurt so much more is because don't want to allow it and most of us don't know how to. Aaliyah has Ascended off to a much better adventure but trust and believe she is still with us. Energy CANNOT die and that's exactly what we collectively are. Feel Aaliyah, don't be afraid to. She wants to embrace you but you're so sad. Let it be, and watch how you'll be able to embrace her better. Death doesn't mean the spirit is dead and when we keep mourning our loved ones. It doesn't help them ascend. Just food for the heart and mind❤️ Blessings to you all
u said all of this so well i wish that aaliyah was still here with us 2. i truly love/miss her like a family member she'd always be loved by this whole world. rip my angel!
Jaime Smith wow this touched me so deeply. I’m just now seeing this and it was on my heart. I pray that you can heal from this one day. You are not alone. 🤍
Phillip Jordan wow I’m glad I could help in some kind of way. It was like as through God or Aaliyah was speaking right through me when I wrote it. I hope all is well
I seriously never thought I’d cry over someone I never had the chance or the opportunity to even meet 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰I wish she never got on that ✈️she would still be with us Aaliyah we love you and we’ll see you when we get to Heaven
aaliyah was so happy and bubbly. i feel like someone set my babygirl up. the pilot wasn’t even licensed to fly and was a drug addict. this video saddens knowing this was her last days 🥺. we miss you love. keep resting peacefully.
@@deundraviousdunlap7267 she thought of, but people now are into the new era of music. And most people follow the mainstream music now. Rest in peace Aaliyah💕💖
I remember crying when I heard she passed away. I was 9 years old and a huge fan of hers. I remember watching the Rock The Boat video over and over, trying to get the choreography down packed 😂. She’s the one that made me belly roll!
I miss her so much, it’s not even funny... But I always smile at the same part of this video where she goes “Get me while the wind is blowing so you get my drama.” They we’re so lucky to have met her 😭
I swear man her death is the only celebrity death that bothered me and still randomly bothers me whenever I think about her and now that I’m older them saying the equipment was the major factor in the crash just doesn’t add up that was a small ass plane and I highly doubt if there was any equipment in the plane they really need to reopen her case. Too many red flags that just doesn’t add up
Her parents should've filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her label. She was the only artist making a profit & she carried the label. They pressured her to shoot a video for Rock the Boat because More than A Woman wasn't performing fast enough for them. They felt it would do better for the summer despite the fact that the summer was coming to end & school had already started. They blew their budget on the video & had Aaliyah & the crew in run down housing. They also shot a lot in front of the green screen which defeated the entire point of being there. Of course everyone wanted to gtfoh as quickly as possible. What's shady is the equipment being put on Aaliyah's plane but not Hype's. He's the director. Some of that equipment could've & should've flown back with him. Or, an entirely different aircraft. Aaliyah's parents or I should say mother should've taken this to court. Regardless if it took 15 years to get restitution. Her uncle is very shady. I suspect he chartered a cheap plane on purpose to spite Aaliyah for wanting to leave early & have a day to herself. Aaliyah around this time was truly coming into her own as a woman. She wasn't being bound by the same people she used to. She even wanted to work with others over Missy & Timb despite them producing her most successful album. She also was possibly gonna move her way to Rocafella. She definitely wasn't gonna stay at Blackground much longer. They were running her ragged.
Aaliyah looked unreal in the scene with the red hat. She was the most beautiful human inside and out. I’ll never get over he passing. It was too tragic and I still remember the breaking news about her come on tv.
I remember watching this like everyday on BET in the fall of 2001. I was never really a fan of Aaliyah's and didn't even know her name until she passed (chill I was just 8) but I did always enjoy Are You That Somebody and Don't Wanna and still bump those classics to this day.
Notice how in the beginning of this video they didn't include the pilots name. Why? Because it's HIS fault shit went down like this. He falsified his flying hours, was high on crack and was drinking the whole time he was out there, and was just not a legit pilot. Air traffic control told him not to fly the plane because it was way over capacity in weight and they also told the crew from what I heard. But they definitely told him you cannot fly this plane. How the hell you get a rent a pilot who hardly ever worked any real jobs in his life to fly someone so major? Does anyone else see what I'm saying? Do your research on this if you haven't... This was a very hard time for me personally, too much happened around this time with planes. This and then 911 was only a few days later. Not trying to get off topic but it was just too horrific, all of it.
Mone Maria Rodriguez Dandridge Lets just not put the blame on anyone especially since they're not even here to defend themselves. May they all rest in peace.
The pilot did not tell them the plane was overloaded their is not actual proof of him saying that, the airline company just put that out their so they won’t look bad or get sued. Let’s be honest anybody with common sense would not fly a plane knowing that it was overweight and I’m sure Aaliyah and her crew would not want to be on their either so y’all need to stop spreading lies.
RIP Aaliyah we miss you gone way too soon I was 9 years old when she died it's really sad that she's not around today still love her music! 1979 - 2001
“Get me while the wind is blowing so you can get my drama” 🤣😂. Yo She was so FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL!!! The way she carried herself even behind the scene was so natural. She owned them cameras. I can’t imagine where she would be today. 😩🐐👸🏽🕊
Aaliyah is everything, she actually took those people with her literally which makes this footage all the more touching and profound. Never in their wildest dreams did they think. ❤
In loving memory of this beautiful young lady. We are all so lucky to have witnessed her last moments on earth doing what she loved. May god be with her always. Rest in peace
It is so sad that aaliyah, Christopher Maldonado, Eric foreman, Gina Smith and her two bodyguards Anthony Dodd and scott gallin died right after wrapping up the music video while returning home to see their families
My favorite parts are when Aaliyah arrives on set at 0:53 and Aaliyah looking at the rehearsal she did and goes to do the dance scene at 1:52 and Aaliyah talking about the rehearsals and introducing her team at 3:21 and dance part at 4:23 and Aaliyah arrives on the second part of the set at 6:20 and Aaliyah talking about the water scene at 7:30 and Aaliyah at the Bahamas and talking about how the underwater scene was at 9:02 and the second day of the shot at 9:50 and second part at 11:20 and Aaliyah and her stylist at 12:17
The ending of Rock The Boat when she floats up like an angel to heaven gives me SEVERE chills.
I KNOW IT DID ME TO WEAN I SAW IT MAKES US WONDER NAW RIP BABY GIRL 1979-2001 🙏🙏🎤🎶📀📀📀📀📀📀⭐

Jacob Brooks you’re reaching. They were probably tired haha. Rip to everyone ❤️
Lee Couture they keep saying “it’s early”. They were tired haha no eerie fore-boating mood. Haha you’re teaching xo
Lee Couture i think they were just really tired
So true!!! Well Said 💙💚💛💜❤ Rest in Paradise Angel
she honestly don't sound too happy, I just look like she knows something is majorly off, but shes very professional so she did her job. She loved her fans.
Yes i hear every word you've said.
Frost Fanatik she’s probably tired she always works hard
she was tired as other ppl mentioned plus whilst i think she was a positive person, people who knew her for a long time said that after the horrible stuff with r.kelly happened, she was never really the same.
she’d get bouts of anxiety and would be in low moods
Brown skin Girl Nope it’s more than just being tired. I’m sure Aaliyah had that gut feeling that she tried to ignore. Trust me.
Someone said she was scared of the small plane and they offered her a bigger plane since she didn’t like smaller planes but she went ahead with the smaller plane
I don't understand why they shot the clip in the Bahamas? Most of the scenes were shot in the studio ... If they had shot the music clip elsewhere, where no plane is needed, Aaliyah would still be alive
WHY COULDN'T THEY FILMED IT ALL ON THE GREEN SCREEN, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE
BAHAMAS LIKE NO ONE WILL CARE CUZ IT WAS 2001 AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET AWAY WITH THAT , IT'S LIKE IT WAS PLANNED OR SOMETHING
jubbie bean It makes you wonder. I agree.
jubbie bean guys don’t be fooled by the industry it was planned Aaliyah didn’t know obviously but her uncle Barry Hankerson had something to do with it
jubbie bean this my old account pls don’t mind my stupidness 😭
jubbie bean exactly! They were in Miami and hype could have used the Miami beach scenery!
Thats what i thought poor girl
Aw you can tell her aura changed once she got to the Bahamas. Such a beautiful young woman, gone way too fast, so humble and vibrant. Rest in paradise queen, you left a positive legacy like you wanted. We love you!
💖
You can see it...
The reports does say she wanted to leave the Bahama’s as soon as possible.
Poor thing she looked so exhausted
Humans can feel when things are off...even if you don't necessarily know why.
She knew how to talk to the camera , entertaining and captivating. Such a star ⭐️
I've been a fan of Aaliyah since her debut in 1994. Her progress as an artist was just pure perfection! In my opinion she is the most innovative female artist of the last 25 years. The blueprint to so much of what most people are only catching onto today. Hair, makeup, fashion sense etc all at just 22 yrs old. In her 7 yrs in the entertainment industry she most definitely left a legacy that can never be overshadowed. Not to mention she slayed this video like no other. She was so ahead of time with so much more to give.
Tee Mee Well said! She was indeed ahead of her time.
Agreed! She was truly she’d of her time is music and her fashion sense !
The new image of Aaliaya as a island girl . If this happened we would have no room for Robin.
What's eerie about this is that it was the last moments before the tragic occurrence. This goes to show that it is important to live like it is your last day on earth. RIP Aaliyah❤
❤
What makes me so curious is, if Hype wanted her to do that video so badly over there n knew she was hesitant about being on planes, why didn't he ease her by riding on that same plane with?! Don't give me that crap, he knows who made plans to off Aaliyah! That's why he wasn't on that plane! 😡😡😡😡😡
Was a strange year with her then September 11th - the world as we knew it changed after these two events.
2001 was a sad year period Aaliyah died then a couple weeks later. 9/11 happened very sad time😥
Lady Leniece Yes, horrible!!
People ain’t even get to grieve her death cause of 9/11
Lady Leniece well technically the world changes all the time but a lot stays the same
There was a definite shift that year
that water scene was beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL AND SAD
@@moodygipson2692 she loved the water scene .. she said it was her glamour shot but the entire video was beautiful
It was scary for me
everything just looks so eerie and liminal space-like. she doesn’t look genuinely happy. accidents happen but this was no accident and beyond preventable.
Everyone seemed so larger than life. So sudden and unexpected. Still gets me to this day. The ending of the music video gets me choked up. 😢😢😢
Even her terminology.. “Its giving you island girl.” “This yellow skirt, I’m Eating it.” So ahead of her time cuz this is how we talk now
She was just talking like the gays around her. Thats where those slang terms come from.
These terms aren’t new darling
@@scj3188but still the way she used that term is so 2024.
Who's missing Aaliyah in 2019? 🙌🏾🖤
O
Missing her on 2020!
May 27,2021
9/22/21
I'm missing her in 2023
"Get me while the wind is blowing so you can catch my drama." 😂😂 She was hilarious. ❤
A hurt that the world will never get over😢🕊️ Aaliyah was that girl!
Her hair was everything!
She had the bundles before any of us knew about the bundles lol
That was mostly all her hair though
She wore a few hair clips for glam the length was definitely hers she wore pieces for her videos and performances it comes with the territory she had her own head full of gorgeous hair though. Either way she was GORGEOUS and absolutely fabulous and we all miss her
@@aleeyah2218 how come a black woman can NEVER Just get a compliment? She always had long hair as a child and both her Mom and Grandma had long and full hair.
@@LeeDfined It’s because they jealous
Honestley she was an angel on earth, she was taken from us early because God needed her angel back.
God is an energy source, not he or she. But I see where y'all are coming from.
People fussing over the gender of an imaginary thing. Lmao!
So if god needed his/her/its angel, why send it in the first place? And why does god need anything? Can't he/she/it just create more things?
Notthefather God is real. he is up in Heaven and whoever believes in him will see him and Jesus when they die someday and will see there loved ones that died too.
Angela m that's a nice fairytale, but it's not real. Sorry that you've been brainwashed into believing that nonsense, but you can't tell me that as fact when you're just repeating what you've been told.
When you're dead you're dead. There's no fantasy at the end.
Notthefather Oh ok. and no that isn't true God and Jesus are real and people that believe in him when they die will go to Heaven. you don't know what your saying.
Heartbreaking still after all these years. I’ll never get over this tragedy. Those people deserved a long full life.
The pilot is the villain he had alcohol and cocaine in his system and he wasn't authorized to fly the plane.
@@angiesworld8038and they said she took a sleeping pill and they made her get on the plane
I remember I had just turned 10 yrs old and how much I loved romeo must die. I thought she was the prettiest woman ever. When my Mom came home and told me that she died I was devastated. I stayed up the whole night listening to her music on the radio. I'll always love her.
chrissy kelley I was still 10 years old almost 11 years old when she died in 2001. she died in August 2 months before my 11th birthday.
chrissy K I was 18; it was the year I graduated and I remember almost everything about that summer. The VMAs after her death when they honored her was one of the last pre-9/11 things I remember. Such and eerie year.
@@angela3403 I was 11yrs old. I miss her too, I wish she were still here until this day. I didn't grieve over her because I was dealing with my own mental issues but later on the grief caught up with me after listening to her music again. It brought back memories. 😢😢😢
Oh wow. thats cool and oh im sorry to hear about that
I just turned 12 and I’m obsessed with Aaliyah. When I was watching this it gave chills it made me feel so sad. Rip Aaliyah and the others who were in the plane. May they fly high in heaven 🌸
Her beautiful spirt still lives on . She had a fun loving personality.
@14.00 lol
They were already in front of a green screen going to the Bahamas was unnecessary!!
I was born in 03 and I’ve always grown up with Aaliyah’s music but lately her whole aura and spirit has really captivated me. The pain that there is knowing we’ll never know what all she would’ve accomplished but having these memories and seeing how her influence carried on, she did everything she wanted🤎🕊️not another like you babygirl
I hope on August 25 bet either releases this in hd or releases some more unreleased behind the scenes footage of rock the boat or of some behind the scenes footage of more than a women.
Wow it's just so sad that she never even got the chance to see this very beautiful work of art of hers. This was painful to watch back than and still is hard to watch it now. She was so cute in the pool when she was shooting the under water scene she was like "OH NO BOO BOO THIS AIN'T GONNA WORK" lol when she was trying to go under to hold her breath lol I remember I was 11 years old at the time and I was coming from church on a Sunday and my friend told me AALIYAH died and I did not believe him at all that whole day. Than it flashed on MTV NEWS later that night when I was watching MTV that AALIYAH was dead and i remember getting so upset I jumped up and punched the door so hard in my den room. It was like i never got so upset over a celbs death before like I did with AALIYAH'S. I remember that being my 1st time in my lifetime of being aware and old enough to remember a singers death at that time and experiencing it and the emotions and grief and sorrow i felt for her mom and brother Rashad. 2001 i will never forget that year. Then I remember around that time destiny's child released emotions from the survivor album back than and the video came on and i just really cried and was heartbroken hearing that song just thinking of AALIYAH'S passing i remember that whole week just felt so un-surreal to me for some odd reason. Like in my head this is just a dream and that i'm gonna wake up and AALIYAH will be back to life doing her thing and that the whole thing was just not real and a joke. That's how I felt. like i remember feeling just so spaced out that week. Then I used to love to draw and sketch pictures in school so i remember always drawing lots of pictures of AALIYAH while in class. Also i remember me and my mom watching this making of access granted and i remember my mom saying she looked like an ANGEL floating to the top of the surface in the water scene. RIP AALIYAH she will never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be replaced i don't care how many artist TIMBO and Missy decide to work with no one can ever give AALIYAH vibes. no tweet no keri hilson no nelly furtado no one. AALIYAH was truly one in a million. I find it so ironic that one in a million song really justifies AALIYAH'S whole artistry and the person she was ONE IN A MILLION.
lee ventura don't forget her father who sadly passed a couple years back
Omg. I was 15 and heard when got home I was so heartbroken. I asked God y
Wow. Ur words are truly mesmerizing. Really touch my heart. I cried. Is so beautiful what u wrote. Coincidentally I was exactly the same age as u. Bout to turn 11 pretty much. She was a true artist n legend🎨🎭🙋 🎤🎼🎹🎶. Gone too soon. Aaliyah ur music will. Never ever die. Rest well sweet baby girl.
I knew Christopher. He dated my best friend for a couple months. Very nice guy, and it's eerie actually hearing his voice again. Takes me back to 1996.
Which one is Christopher ?
@@Rasheedshepard2 her makeup artist. They do a few seconss with him in the pool
@@Rasheedshepard2 3:45
How did he get so talented at makeup???
@@Rasheedshepard2 Toots was his nickname. He died instantly in the Plane Crash. Eric Foreman and Keith Wallace and Scotty Gallin all were awake when it happened, and later died at the Hospital.
There is something in my heart to share with all the heads who've been affected by Aaliyah's death. I'm pretty sure most of you remember exactly what you're doing when you learned the news that Aaliyah had passed. It was so hard and heavy especially because she was so busy and feeding us what was needed for the industry at that time. The pain was so severe for everyone and still to the day it's hurts but it's time to heal you guys. Watching this used to be so hurtful but now it's healing because we get to watch Aaliyah happy in her last days on this earth. I'm pretty sure Aaliyah wants us to move on and not be so sad. I'm almost 💯 sure that she is not sad. Learn who you are spiritually and not be so attached to this physical body because one day this body is going to fail us in one way or another. We are spirit before anything else and it's time to nurture the spirit, allow the pain to come through and let it go. Why things hurt so much more is because don't want to allow it and most of us don't know how to. Aaliyah has Ascended off to a much better adventure but trust and believe she is still with us. Energy CANNOT die and that's exactly what we collectively are. Feel Aaliyah, don't be afraid to. She wants to embrace you but you're so sad. Let it be, and watch how you'll be able to embrace her better. Death doesn't mean the spirit is dead and when we keep mourning our loved ones. It doesn't help them ascend. Just food for the heart and mind❤️ Blessings to you all
u said all of this so well i wish that aaliyah was still here with us 2. i truly love/miss her like a family member she'd always be loved by this whole world. rip my angel!
Very well spoken, thank you.
Thank you out of all of my years of being an Aaliyah fan. I needed this today. Thank you
Jaime Smith wow this touched me so deeply. I’m just now seeing this and it was on my heart. I pray that you can heal from this one day. You are not alone. 🤍
Phillip Jordan wow I’m glad I could help in some kind of way. It was like as through God or Aaliyah was speaking right through me when I wrote it. I hope all is well
Happy 40th Birthday!!! We Miss you Baby girl!!!
I seriously never thought I’d cry over someone I never had the chance or the opportunity to even meet 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰I wish she never got on that ✈️she would still be with us Aaliyah we love you and we’ll see you when we get to Heaven
Left eye documentary called "last days of left eye" remind me of this and vice versa
That documentary is extremely eerie but it's definitely good.
aaliyah was so happy and bubbly. i feel like someone set my babygirl up. the pilot wasn’t even licensed to fly and was a drug addict. this video saddens knowing this was her last days 🥺. we miss you love. keep resting peacefully.
She was fine 😢 Rest In Peace to a beautiful angel Aaliyah her music will live on forever 💯👌🏽
Fresh2Cool 95 its like nobody not thinking of her anymore it's been to long and that years over.
@@deundraviousdunlap7267 she thought of, but people now are into the new era of music. And most people follow the mainstream music now. Rest in peace Aaliyah💕💖
I remember crying when I heard she passed away. I was 9 years old and a huge fan of hers. I remember watching the Rock The Boat video over and over, trying to get the choreography down packed 😂. She’s the one that made me belly roll!
Same!!!
I miss her so much, it’s not even funny... But I always smile at the same part of this video where she goes “Get me while the wind is blowing so you get my drama.” They we’re so lucky to have met her 😭
Crying real tears at the end...she was and still is a huge inspiration to me and alot of other people. Her legacy will carry on forever and ever
This is the saddest Access Granted episode. We were watching numerous people's last moments. 😢
I swear man her death is the only celebrity death that bothered me and still randomly bothers me whenever I think about her and now that I’m older them saying the equipment was the major factor in the crash just doesn’t add up that was a small ass plane and I highly doubt if there was any equipment in the plane they really need to reopen her case. Too many red flags that just doesn’t add up
I'm not over her or left eye
that’s how i feel about selena quintanilla.. may they both rest in peace
Don’t forget about Selena and Michael Jackson
Her parents should've filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her label. She was the only artist making a profit & she carried the label. They pressured her to shoot a video for Rock the Boat because More than A Woman wasn't performing fast enough for them. They felt it would do better for the summer despite the fact that the summer was coming to end & school had already started. They blew their budget on the video & had Aaliyah & the crew in run down housing. They also shot a lot in front of the green screen which defeated the entire point of being there. Of course everyone wanted to gtfoh as quickly as possible. What's shady is the equipment being put on Aaliyah's plane but not Hype's. He's the director. Some of that equipment could've & should've flown back with him. Or, an entirely different aircraft. Aaliyah's parents or I should say mother should've taken this to court. Regardless if it took 15 years to get restitution. Her uncle is very shady. I suspect he chartered a cheap plane on purpose to spite Aaliyah for wanting to leave early & have a day to herself. Aaliyah around this time was truly coming into her own as a woman. She wasn't being bound by the same people she used to. She even wanted to work with others over Missy & Timb despite them producing her most successful album. She also was possibly gonna move her way to Rocafella. She definitely wasn't gonna stay at Blackground much longer. They were running her ragged.
Aaliyah looked unreal in the scene with the red hat. She was the most beautiful human inside and out. I’ll never get over he passing. It was too tragic and I still remember the breaking news about her come on tv.
I remember watching this like everyday on BET in the fall of 2001. I was never really a fan of Aaliyah's and didn't even know her name until she passed (chill I was just 8) but I did always enjoy Are You That Somebody and Don't Wanna and still bump those classics to this day.
oops!
Oh my goodness, this gives me the chills just watching this. She was so beautiful and natural. May she rest in peace.
Bruh they could’ve easily done all of this in Miami
Lol 6:27 “pretty, pretty.. people” she was so damn positive and very down to earth and just loved everything and everyone. Angel on earth ❤️
WHEN THE VIDEO FIRST STARTED SHE DIDN'T SEEM THRILLED
She had *PERSONALITY* and she had fun, even when working as hard as she did...
Rock the Boat always gives me chills. 🙁
Right
I’m literally getting chills from watching this.
I miss You Baby Girl.
I wish I could jump into this video at 15:00 and tell her not to get on that plane...
She didn't want to go the plane
this is so spooky knowing she wouldn’t exist anymore only hours later. so sad
Sucks that many musical artists don't do this kind of humbleness anymore very often today
Her light became dim and distant once arriving to the Bahamas 😢
I've always loved this footage. Thanks again for the uploads.
Tony... I see you everywhere man
@@yoLocal408babyy 😅😅😅
@Tony Turner lol
Why didn't they just shoot the video in Florida.
Camoflage Kid I don't know. but I think Aaliyah wanted her music video to be filmed in the Bahamas.
Jamaican Records Hype Williams wanted the Bahamas for his own work. It was cheaper for him to join the two projects
FR
AaliyahPL Hype was also named in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Aaliyah's family.
4ID Hero wow really?
Brings tears to my eyes. Baby girl went up to the light. Your sweet soul lives on in your beautiful music. Thank you for sharing.
In a different dimension she didn't go to the Bahamas
Jy Z I think the same thing sometimes. That she is still alive and well in an alternate universe.
Jy Z I hope so 😭
Jy Z yessssss speak the truth. But we are consigned to this dimension...... Rip aaliyah, Eric, Christopher, Scott, Keith, Douglas and Gina.....
Todo 1996 that alternate universe is heaven
Yooo this is deep because ...
Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle
Why couldn't they just have taken a boat back to the US 😩
i was just thinging that myself
Maybe she wasn’t going back to Florida
She was going back to Miami
She was anxious to go back and to see her man Damon dash...she wanted to get back as soon as possible, no delays or hold ups
QxeenOfQueens i know
Notice how in the beginning of this video they didn't include the pilots name. Why? Because it's HIS fault shit went down like this. He falsified his flying hours, was high on crack and was drinking the whole time he was out there, and was just not a legit pilot. Air traffic control told him not to fly the plane because it was way over capacity in weight and they also told the crew from what I heard. But they definitely told him you cannot fly this plane. How the hell you get a rent a pilot who hardly ever worked any real jobs in his life to fly someone so major? Does anyone else see what I'm saying? Do your research on this if you haven't... This was a very hard time for me personally, too much happened around this time with planes. This and then 911 was only a few days later. Not trying to get off topic but it was just too horrific, all of it.
ok but thats still not fucking good he died just like the rest of them and i heard he told my baby aaliyah that it was too much weight
Mone Maria Rodriguez Dandridge Lets just not put the blame on anyone especially since they're not even here to defend themselves. May they all rest in peace.
Oh stop. Move on. This was a tragedy. Rip in peace to all the people xo
They all died and the Pilot told them that it too overweight rip Aliyah and all the others
The pilot did not tell them the plane was overloaded their is not actual proof of him saying that, the airline company just put that out their so they won’t look bad or get sued. Let’s be honest anybody with common sense would not fly a plane knowing that it was overweight and I’m sure Aaliyah and her crew would not want to be on their either so y’all need to stop spreading lies.
RIP Aaliyah we miss you gone way too soon I was 9 years old when she died it's really sad that she's not around today still love her music! 1979 - 2001
Aaliyah was good then AnD SHE’s Still IS in spirit Gone too damn soon 😣😭. Gone too soon 🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The more you get older the more painful this is to watch esp that last walk to the boat R.I.P babygirl 💔❤️
I have a heavy heart watching this right now smh. RIP to a legend.
2:20, This little segment never fails to make me smile...
Still I can't believe it was 15 years ago
“Get me while the wind is blowing so you can get my drama” 🤣😂. Yo She was so FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL!!! The way she carried herself even behind the scene was so natural. She owned them cameras. I can’t imagine where she would be today. 😩🐐👸🏽🕊
She was so gorgeous and talented! The choreo was on point! And not too soon, another shattering event was to take place. RIP baby girl!
22 years on and still hurts to this day. An angel left us 🤍
Every time I see this I cry cause I miss Aaliyah so much she was such a sweet soul
I'M CRYING NOW AND KNOWN I JUST LOST MY MOM 4 MONTHS AGO
“Enjoy. She would have wanted you to” my fucking heart
Aaliyah is one in a million... we love and miss you queen 🕊🤍
I love this whole vibe. Soft, sexy, feminine, fly... no one else like her. Smh
We love you more than you can imagine Aaliyah Dana💖💖💖
Aaliyah is everything, she actually took those people with her literally which makes this footage all the more touching and profound. Never in their wildest dreams did they think. ❤
In loving memory of this beautiful young lady. We are all so lucky to have witnessed her last moments on earth doing what she loved. May god be with her always. Rest in peace
i think it’s beautiful when an icon’s last days are documented before whatever tragedy ends their life💕😭
She really loved life and loved her work. She was stunning
Her make up and hair stylist also died on the plane crash with her. That’s sad and eerie.
It’s so sad watching this knowing these are some of the last few moments of her life, sometimes I wonder what she would be like today 😥
Aaliyah puts her all into everything she does ✨.
It is so sad that aaliyah, Christopher Maldonado, Eric foreman, Gina Smith and her two bodyguards Anthony Dodd and scott gallin died right after wrapping up the music video while returning home to see their families
And family friend
My favorite parts are when Aaliyah arrives on set at 0:53 and Aaliyah looking at the rehearsal she did and goes to do the dance scene at 1:52 and Aaliyah talking about the rehearsals and introducing her team at 3:21 and dance part at 4:23 and Aaliyah arrives on the second part of the set at 6:20 and Aaliyah talking about the water scene at 7:30 and Aaliyah at the Bahamas and talking about how the underwater scene was at 9:02 and the second day of the shot at 9:50 and second part at 11:20 and Aaliyah and her stylist at 12:17
