This video was made in 1994, Aaliyah was 15. Chances are she was working on this song when she was 14. Side-eye for all the adults who ignored what they saw happening.
RIP to Aaliyah. I was in my 20s when this song was released. I remember saying why on Earth would her parents let her say those words. Age ain't nothing but a number.Throwing down ain't nothing but a thang. They could have told her no,you are not doing that song. Also,all the ladies had a crush on Robert,however I have always had a sinister vibe for him and I did not listen to his music. I just never cared for that dude.
Age Ain't nothing but number, Going to jail ain't nothing but a thang, Cops have a little something for you its a Cuff and Chain lol!! I use to love the beat but not the message I had this Album Can't believe it's been 20 years. Rip Aaliyah miss you.
She was so beautiful sad she is gone but we will see her again be good on earth make it to heaven and you will see the young beautiful girl went to soon
Imagine the amount of disrespect this woman endured throughout this relationship. I’m so thankful Kelly’s getting his. I wonder what she would think of him if she were still alive today.
I know… but I can’t deal with the fact that she is talking about grossly stuff… her voice is angelical, but I cannot listen to this song without almost puking
Nothing unsettling about the fact that a 14 year old is singing this song. There are plenty of songs rooted in fiction. What IS unsettling is the fact that this song is not based on fiction and that there was some "questionable" behavior between a minor and an adult. What's worse is her parents didn't do shit. Guess they had their hands out.
I know she was 14 when this song was made but damn her vocals are on point. I’m 36 now and been listening this angel all my life but she never fail to disappoint
You're either not being honest about your age or you're unsure of when this song was made. This song came out in 1994. If you were Aaliyah's age then, you'd be 43 now
I’m not going anywhere today about Mr.Kelly and his family because he is not a very sick and beyond nasty 🤮 guy,,, but he knew exactly what and how he was doing when he was turning the young girl into a woman but he never 👎 got the attention or the opportunity to talk about his situation to his or her mother and father because of the situation and circumstances and he was so upset 😭,,,scared and angry 😡 and upset 😭 because he was being a victim of his own actions and realizing that his life had consequences and he was still alive and still suffering from all of the trauma and consequences for the loss of his childhood,,,,because he really never 👎 had any connection or control of himself and he had to deal with everything that happened and never cared about his own feelings and actions…..he just needed a friend and never even had any homeboys or family friends,,,like a buddy,,,hhelll,,,, I love this life that I have now because everything will never 👎 change for me and my life but even if it does,,,, I still have and will always have my beautiful 🤩 first COUSIN ARLENABEATIFILULEJONES AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE LOVE AND SHE IS SO GOOD 😊 AND BLESSED 😇 AND SHE IS THE ONLY ANGEL 👼🏾 I WILL ALWAYS SEE…..EVERY BIRTHDAY 🎂

46 years ago, a rising star was born. She's talented, she's a performer, she's sexy, she's popular, she's famous, she's a dancer, she's a singer, she's an icon, she's an actress, she's a legend and she also known as the Princess Of R&B. I want to wish the late and great singer Aaliyah Haughton a Happy Heavenly 46th Birthday. I really wish that she would still be alive right now. She would have celebrated her 46th birthday today. It's still so sad that she lost her life in a plane crash. She had her whole life ahead of her. Her singing career was just the beginning in her life. She would have became a huge star in R&B. Again, Happy Heavenly 46th Birthday to you, Aaliyah. 🎉🎈🎂. You will always be remembered as a good singer and a good person. You also will never be forgotten. May continue to Rest In Peace. January 16, 1979 - August 25, 2001. 😢👼🕊️.
Today he was sentenced 30 years. Roughly 2x her age when he illegally married her. You finally got your justice. Rest in love baby girl. We love you & never forgot 💕
But you're still supporting him by streaming and listening to this song 🤔. This is not Aaliyah's lyrics or beat it's all R.Kelly so if your so against him boycott everything about him. If you want to support Aaliyah listen to everything after this album but this song is infectious ain't it smh.

I was about 13 when this song came out and I thought she was older, at least 18. She became a superstar and I loved her music, especially the timbaland produced tracks and then her life was cut short R.I.P.
so many haters... lets just enjoy Aaliyah for who she was? I for one miss her... not for what she looked like... but how her voice captured your heart....
This video's purpose at the time was to trick people into not realizing she was a child. All the adult guys hitting on her, that super large clothing, how mature they made her look. R Kelly knew exactly what he was doing.
Jason Johnson exactly, to me it was moreso trying to trick people into thinking of teenage/adult relationships as normal. It’s common knowledge that some teenagers just naturally act more mature than their peers, but songs like this makes it seem like the more mature teenagers are capable of having healthy relationships with a full grown adults, which of course is a dangerous mindset.
@@musamngadi9138 15 years old don't have the compactity to consent as an adult. At this age you are still finding yourself and your brain is still developing.
Well theres nothing really to “defend” she was a young girl with adults around her who didn’t care about her well being. If anything the adults in that situation are the ones who have to defend themselves. I view her life as more of a big tragedy
*R. Kelly wrote and produced this, named her album “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number”, and was on the album cover with her.... NOBODY IN THE 90S THOUGHT THIS WAS A PROBLEM????? 🤨*
@@Cazziey i understand that. what im trying to say is that most 14 year olds look and sound like that nowadays were more mature ik were not an actual grown adult but people need to stop thinking we look like babies because this is what we look like.
A part of me loves Aaliyah but realizing how this song came about makes me want to throw up. That poor child was hiding shame,pain and secrets. She died knowing a lot things. Rip sweatheart. It is going to be okay.
Drey Shinigami死神 ? She was 14. She didn’t have the mental maturity to decide whether or not to date a man almost twice her age. Also, according to the women speaking against him, he was very isolating and controlling and she was young and vulnerable
@@promiseblanchard4468 Yep, thats it. Aaliyah's life in that sense was very sad, she dont deserve to die so young, the people arround her was devilish.
I understand that Aaliyah was young and R.Kelly produced this. But I’m not finna let him destroy me from listening to Aaliyah!! All she wanted was to let people enjoy her music and remember her as an successful entertainer and that’s what I’m gonna do!
Shanee Hayles,BINGO👏👏 Huh,my Parents,especially my mother,she would have slapped the taste out of my mouth. And knocked me right into our 21st Century. My Father & mother,would have harm Predator,for the Lyrics of that song. And for marrying an under age Teenager.
23 years later hearing the truth unfold and hearing this song shows how successful Aaliyah could’ve became ,with the little time she was here she was making bangers rest easy baby girl🤍🕊️
Aaliyah was just probably trained. She says she "wanted to go all the way" , just like R-Kelly's song "Seems like you're ready.. to go all the way" ... then he says "I could've sworn you were ready", that was a wide eye opener.
why tv. i agree @ the very last part of ur comment. still miss her, i do. few others, too many. RIP baby girl, my generation, we both born same decade, so a decade apart, or so. she is still missed by alot. Queen of r&b, im thinkin she "would have been, maybe." but, did still make great music. adios. and MUSIC RB GRUNGE you're right, with what ur saying on queen naming those 2 artist. icam.
absolutely agreed. Children are to be reared the right way by adults. Even if a child is "fast", she/he learned that from some where and needs to be corrected. I am also appalled that those who we expect to protect us didn't: her parents and even her mother's brother who introduced her to R. Kelly since he was R. Kelly's manager.
Her uncle, Barry Hankerson, produced that video. Listen, when it comes to $ NOTHING stops anybody. So the child probably couldn’t grasp how much $ was coming her way, but the grown people including her own family, certainly knew it. So R. Kelly had both of best worlds in his mind . The whole thing is very sad.
@@VersatyleTV1 aaliyah was told to say that ..there is a real marriage record on Google R.kelly is disgusting..I'm sure she was young and in love ,he promised her fame,fortune ,he seduced and molested her... what do you think she's going to say or sing about ?
@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof Aaliyah was told to say that? Or is that you speculating because you see Robert as guilty based on being inspired by rumors? First off, her own family denied that there were any relationship between her and Kelly and confirmed that they were always around her. Her mother said that Aaliyah was never even on his tour bus. The reason they were friends were because Barry Hankerton introduced them because he wanted Robert to co write and produce for her. The marriage license that you see has been compared to a real marriage license and it is NOT a match. In fact as I said Robert's former mentor has already stated I trial that HE was the one behind the marriage license and Robert and Aaliyah had nothing to do with it. You do know documents like that can be faked right? There were attempts to find the marriage on file and it came up short. Those are all facts.. what you presented to me were how you felt.. what you think you know.. and what you think Aaliyah did. However you will not find any of that online, on record, and it will always be speculation. We can't always do things the hood way and base things off of "he say she say" and speculation. You have to know the facts.
@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof that he seduced and molested her? Especially when her family said they were always around. Especially her older brother. What would Aaliyah have to gain from R.Kelly when her career was taking off and she had been dismissing these rumors up until the time of her death. For years... long after she worked with Kelly. The rumor that she was pregnant turned out to be a lie.. where is the child? Where is record of abortion? Where were they born? You believe in theory with no base...except for rumors. Lisa Van Allen, Barry Hankerton, Demetrius (his former mentor) Lisa Van Allen, Andrea Kelly are all disgusting and are liars and extortionist...proven.
When I seen your name pop up i was sitting here thinking "she look familiar" and i looked at your channel and I was subscribed ..! I love your channel 💚

For the life of me, I'll never understand why the black community didn't do an automatic pause when it was announced that R.Kelly had married this CHILD in the 90s. In that moment we should have went full stop but we didn't. Why?? This girl recorded this song at 12-13 years old. smh. Rest easy babygirl.
Black people to this day still defend r Kelly. They love to use whataboutism every time he comes up and bring up Harvey Weinstein for some reason. I have a feeling they don't care about sexual predators and shit like that like other races do. It's weird
I use to listen to this song so differently back then. When I was 15 I interpreted the song as a bold statement of just because I’m young doesn’t mean you can’t take me seriously. I also got that vibe from Aaliyah’s press interviews at the time; Like “just because I’m young doesn’t mean I can’t sing as well as folks who are older than me. I have a voice, I can sing, and I’d like you to hear it”. Of course now as an adult, listening to the lyrics, and with everything that we’ve learned about the producer, it takes on a very grim and different meaning. BUT no matter what, this era of Aaliyah’s life will always stand for that message to youth that if you put the time and effort in, grown ups can take you seriously. Stay grounded and have purpose in your voice when you want it to be heard.
actually your young interpretation sounds wiser than your adult interpretation but, when you've crossed that landmark you cant really think of anything else to see it as
She probably never would have told because Kelly did what he promised which was make her successful, the other girls he lied and had no intention turning them into stars
She was the only female that could pull off that Tomboy, Gangsta look. Period. #Iconic #Legend RIP Aaliyah, Rock the heavens beautiful.. ❤ 👼 RIP to Proof as well..
WE NOT GONNA SIT AND ACT LIKE AALIYAH DIDN’T SERVE THESE VOCALS, THESE LOOKS, and THAT VIBE! I know there’s mixed feelings but this is a part of her story, and everyone has their own to tell.. she was just never able to tell hers.. period #istandwithaaliyah 🕊
I use to love this song being young & ignorant to know what was really going on but now I can't even listen to it knowing I'm a decent human being & have a conscious knowing now that Aaliyah was a victim to a pedophile whether she was accepting r kellys advances it was wrong as hell. I ♥️ Aaliyah but she has way too many other good songs to be listening to this knowing Rkelly wrote it for her they were dating & basically the song is what Rkelly & her was feeling for one another when they were around each other dating on the low. I can't even listen to it now thinking how he took advantage of her being only 14 & he was 27 smdh 🤦🏻♀️ She shouldn't even be talking about sex at 14. She wouldn't have been even feeling him like that if he would have never pursued her knowing damn well he was too old & could have gotten locked up for it why because it's wrong as hell & that's why it's a law to protect young people from pedophiles like R Kelly. Don't see how her parents were ok with this song coming out. I have a 13 year old & can't imagine her saying shi+ like this
This song is and always will be a vibe but THATS what’s scary … bc it is child grooming!! Weirder even bc he makes HER sound like the aggressor! 😳😩 No computer back then so i was thinking the lyrics were “going DOWN” not “throwing down” and I definitely thought she said “Love thing I have “ not “something I have” … R. Kelly knew what he was doing there! I don’t know if Aaliyah would want young girls hearing this message. Sounds like she went through some unimaginable stuff. 💔💔💔💔💔 …. The swag in this video tho. 👸🏾
She and Janet were ahead of their time with this whispery singing pattern now you got alot of mainstream female artist trying too duplicate it now and are doing a crappy job at it.
+IRON5 sorry but harden thicke is correct on this one. this style of music was the norm. R. kelly, was actually doing this before she was. He produced many hits for other females with the same style.
They say respect the parents, but some things should not be respected. Aaliyah’s parents failed her. The least we can do is acknowledge it since no one spoke up for the innocent child
Nah brah! They didnt fail her no one twisted this young ladys arm,nor ignored her as a woman! When do you become responsible for your own sins? She was intelligent enough to say no to Mr.Kelly!She also had a DADDY that was cool with it dont forget that! So.... again lets enjoy the music and stay out of peoples lives!!!
Starr Company you want to take up for R. Kelly, like the other pedos do. Google Stockholm syndrome. It is loud and clear that these women have that. The same goes on with the men in prison that get raped and turned out. You clowns say enjoy the music and stay out of people’s lives are the reason why bs like this happens. Too many innocent kids have been taken advantage of because of silence and minding your own business. How about u grow some nuts and investigate weird/strange things that occur around you. The bxtch route is full.
@SARA White people be always letting their kids run over them .Black people knows how to discipline their child so they stay in order honor your mother and father
I embrace Aaliyah's vocals as a poet's lament. Maybe this is the ghost we need to reveal everything we were so we remember, learn, and grow. What a haunting listen to that echoes. There's a beauty here that I cannot deny. If you can, I admire you for never being broken. I was and rebuilt myself despite the horrors of this world. I think we are all more alike than we are unalike. Maybe this is what pulls me into this song. RIP, sweetheart. You are forever missed, Momma.
@@IvyDeShield If I can give you some advice, learn Spanish. Then you will be able to read the poetry of the golden century and Spanish romanticism. Spanish poetry from that period is one of the most beautiful things you can read. Not like the feminist woke crap they make you read in universities in Spain, Canada, Argentina and the United States. Really universally human stuff. The highest that the human spirit can reach in its search for beauty. Don't forget the portuguese medieval and baroque. As a curious fact, look for the writers of the German black romanticism of the interwar period and Clark Ashton Smith, the Keats of the Pacific.
@@nathanielmoore180 exactly, she let the fame get to her, her music was good but followed he parents advice and led her to r kelly, hes not really only to blame
She was so talented... only 14 years old. Wow. I can't believe how young she was. While I'm grateful for this song, we have to make sure what happened to Aaliyah never happens to any other young woman in the industry ever again.
Imagina teres 14 anos e estares a cantar essa música para um adulto de quase 30 anos! Tenho vontade de vomitar até. Oqué ele fazia com ela!? Meu Deus, mundo muito cruel.
I am 45 year old white guy who loved rnb and hip hop starting in late 80s. I was around 16 when this and Back and Forth came out-summer of 94. Shit was fire. My life was girls, parties and sports back then so hearing she was around the same age as me but also possibly dating Rkelly just really didn’t hit hard. Years later, thinking about how the powers that be had her sing this, even though it’s an absolute classic, hurts especially as a father of a mixed daughter. Aaliyah was one of most gifted and beautiful people to walk this earth and going through what she did at this age when this song was made is sad. Thank for your contribution to this world baby girl RIP
It hurts especially because you have a mixed daughter? Not understanding this. Even if your child wasn't half African American you should have empathy for Aaliyah being a victim of pedophilia.
having a mixed daughter should not influence your view of this. I'm a black woman who hates what happened to brook shields. We should want children to be protected regardless of if we have mixed kids or regardless of our race.
So Aaliyah, Monica and Brandy are in my age range. I remember when they all came out looking way older than me. Then finding out they were my age was crazy.
beautyfool All the up and coming female artists in the 90’s were made to look way older. Hell destinys child were serenading grown ass men at 15 in their No, No, No video (the original, not the remix).
David Faletau it’s creepy because of the backstory. R Kelly’s making her sing some grown ass twisted song when she’s only 15. And now we know they had a relationship so it’s even more fucked up to think about.

46 years ago, a rising star was born. She's talented, she's a performer, she's sexy, she's popular, she's famous, she's a dancer, she's a singer, she's an icon, she's an actress, she's a legend and she also known as the Princess Of R&B. I want to wish the late and great singer Aaliyah Haughton a Happy Heavenly 46th Birthday. I really wish that she would still be alive right now. She would have celebrated her 46th birthday today. It's still so sad that she lost her life in a plane crash. She had her whole life ahead of her. Her singing career was just the beginning in her life. She would have became a huge star in R&B. Again, Happy Heavenly 46th Birthday to you, Aaliyah. 🎉🎈🎂. You will always be remembered as a good singer and a good person. You also will never be forgotten. May continue to Rest In Peace. January 16, 1979 - August 25, 2001. 😢👼🕊️.

@@hound5948 when R kelly was famous and living in Chicago he noticed and targeted Aaliyah, she was a good singer and he made her sign a contract promising her she would be a famous singer. he manipulated her. at 12-14 he took her virginity. he mentally and psychically abused her throughout that time span and in interviews they were looked at as a "couple" but he was just grooming her. she died In a plane crash in 2001 and never got to see justice when r Kelly was sent to prison
When I was a young girl, I never knew she was a teenager. I thought she was a ‘grown up’ she was older than me but I didn’t know she was only a TEEN.
FACTS....I thought the same thing

I was about 13 when this song came out and I thought she was older, at least 18. She became a superstar and I loved her music, especially the timbaland produced tracks and then her life was cut short R.I.P.
Same. She carried herself and behaved much older. I remember being shocked finding out she was only 17 in the If Your Girl Only Knew Video.
I grew up singing these songs never knowing or thinking twice this girl was 14 I need answers from her parents
so many haters... lets just enjoy Aaliyah for who she was? I for one miss her... not for what she looked like... but how her voice captured your heart....
Why they hating tho, she seems sweet☹️
They want justice for her.

this is like the only comment I’ve seen say rip Aaliyah since I’ve scrolled down
This video's purpose at the time was to trick people into not realizing she was a child. All the adult guys hitting on her, that super large clothing, how mature they made her look.
R Kelly knew exactly what he was doing.
So sick 😭
Yea.....
That’s all teenage girls were dressing though.. and everyone knew she was 15
Jason Johnson exactly, to me it was moreso trying to trick people into thinking of teenage/adult relationships as normal. It’s common knowledge that some teenagers just naturally act more mature than their peers, but songs like this makes it seem like the more mature teenagers are capable of having healthy relationships with a full grown adults, which of course is a dangerous mindset.

why tv. i agree @ the very last part of ur comment. still miss her, i do. few others, too many. RIP baby girl, my generation, we both born same decade, so a decade apart, or so. she is still missed by alot. Queen of r&b, im thinkin she "would have been, maybe." but, did still make great music. adios.
and MUSIC RB GRUNGE you're right, with what ur saying on queen naming those 2 artist. icam.
A true icon
Yes I agree
a child is a child, it dont matter if they do grown up hairstyles, sounds mature or puts on baggy pants. what he did was so wrong. She so young!
absolutely agreed. Children are to be reared the right way by adults. Even if a child is "fast", she/he learned that from some where and needs to be corrected. I am also appalled that those who we expect to protect us didn't: her parents and even her mother's brother who introduced her to R. Kelly since he was R. Kelly's manager.
Very True.
You guys realize she says my age so distinctively. He wrote this for her to sing to him. Crazy.
Creepy
Her uncle, Barry Hankerson, produced that video. Listen, when it comes to $ NOTHING stops anybody. So the child probably couldn’t grasp how much $ was coming her way, but the grown people including her own family, certainly knew it. So R. Kelly had both of best worlds in his mind . The whole thing is very sad.
Aaliyah and r kelly are both capricorns and both of them needed help
ew...sigh
Her energy is so magnetic, magical, unique.... SHE'S the queen of R&B forever ❤

@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof Aaliyah was told to say that? Or is that you speculating because you see Robert as guilty based on being inspired by rumors? First off, her own family denied that there were any relationship between her and Kelly and confirmed that they were always around her. Her mother said that Aaliyah was never even on his tour bus. The reason they were friends were because Barry Hankerton introduced them because he wanted Robert to co write and produce for her. The marriage license that you see has been compared to a real marriage license and it is NOT a match. In fact as I said Robert's former mentor has already stated I trial that HE was the one behind the marriage license and Robert and Aaliyah had nothing to do with it. You do know documents like that can be faked right? There were attempts to find the marriage on file and it came up short. Those are all facts.. what you presented to me were how you felt.. what you think you know.. and what you think Aaliyah did. However you will not find any of that online, on record, and it will always be speculation. We can't always do things the hood way and base things off of "he say she say" and speculation. You have to know the facts.
@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof that he seduced and molested her? Especially when her family said they were always around. Especially her older brother. What would Aaliyah have to gain from R.Kelly when her career was taking off and she had been dismissing these rumors up until the time of her death. For years... long after she worked with Kelly. The rumor that she was pregnant turned out to be a lie.. where is the child? Where is record of abortion? Where were they born? You believe in theory with no base...except for rumors. Lisa Van Allen, Barry Hankerton, Demetrius (his former mentor) Lisa Van Allen, Andrea Kelly are all disgusting and are liars and extortionist...proven.

Manny Gunner smh 🤦🏽♀️
I use to listen to this song so differently back then. When I was 15 I interpreted the song as a bold statement of just because I’m young doesn’t mean you can’t take me seriously. I also got that vibe from Aaliyah’s press interviews at the time; Like “just because I’m young doesn’t mean I can’t sing as well as folks who are older than me. I have a voice, I can sing, and I’d like you to hear it”.
Of course now as an adult, listening to the lyrics, and with everything that we’ve learned about the producer, it takes on a very grim and different meaning. BUT no matter what, this era of Aaliyah’s life will always stand for that message to youth that if you put the time and effort in, grown ups can take you seriously. Stay grounded and have purpose in your voice when you want it to be heard.
actually your young interpretation sounds wiser than your adult interpretation but, when you've crossed that landmark you cant really think of anything else to see it as

Right !!!!!!
I use to love this song being young & ignorant to know what was really going on but now I can't even listen to it knowing I'm a decent human being & have a conscious knowing now that Aaliyah was a victim to a pedophile whether she was accepting r kellys advances it was wrong as hell. I ♥️ Aaliyah but she has way too many other good songs to be listening to this knowing Rkelly wrote it for her they were dating & basically the song is what Rkelly & her was feeling for one another when they were around each other dating on the low. I can't even listen to it now thinking how he took advantage of her being only 14 & he was 27 smdh 🤦🏻♀️ She shouldn't even be talking about sex at 14. She wouldn't have been even feeling him like that if he would have never pursued her knowing damn well he was too old & could have gotten locked up for it why because it's wrong as hell & that's why it's a law to protect young people from pedophiles like R Kelly. Don't see how her parents were ok with this song coming out. I have a 13 year old & can't imagine her saying shi+ like this
This song is and always will be a vibe but THATS what’s scary … bc it is child grooming!! Weirder even bc he makes HER sound like the aggressor! 😳😩
No computer back then so i was thinking the lyrics were “going DOWN” not “throwing down” and I definitely thought she said “Love thing I have “ not “something I have” … R. Kelly knew what he was doing there!
I don’t know if Aaliyah would want young girls hearing this message. Sounds like she went through some unimaginable stuff. 💔💔💔💔💔

***** Yeah after the fact.
Late 80's early 90's
+IRON5 sorry but harden thicke is correct on this one. this style of music was the norm. R. kelly, was actually doing this before she was. He produced many hits for other females with the same style.
Janet Jackson first did the whispery vocal style on Making Love in the rain with Herb Alfred in the 80's.
+IRON5 late 80s the 90s period and the early 2000s
They say respect the parents, but some things should not be respected. Aaliyah’s parents failed her. The least we can do is acknowledge it since no one spoke up for the innocent child
Nah brah! They didnt fail her no one twisted this young ladys arm,nor ignored her as a woman!
When do you become responsible for your own sins? She was intelligent enough to say no to Mr.Kelly!She also had a DADDY that was cool with it dont forget that! So.... again lets enjoy the music and stay out of peoples lives!!!
Starr Company you want to take up for R. Kelly, like the other pedos do. Google Stockholm syndrome. It is loud and clear that these women have that. The same goes on with the men in prison that get raped and turned out. You clowns say enjoy the music and stay out of people’s lives are the reason why bs like this happens. Too many innocent kids have been taken advantage of because of silence and minding your own business. How about u grow some nuts and investigate weird/strange things that occur around you. The bxtch route is full.
SARA ah yes, another White Supremacist
@SARA White people be always letting their kids run over them .Black people knows how to discipline their child so they stay in order honor your mother and father
I embrace Aaliyah's vocals as a poet's lament. Maybe this is the ghost we need to reveal everything we were so we remember, learn, and grow. What a haunting listen to that echoes. There's a beauty here that I cannot deny. If you can, I admire you for never being broken. I was and rebuilt myself despite the horrors of this world. I think we are all more alike than we are unalike. Maybe this is what pulls me into this song. RIP, sweetheart. You are forever missed, Momma.
You should be a poet. Is hard to find a comment like this in a video
@@JulioGuterrez-l1m I'm an aspiring poet, so your comment means the world. Thank you, friend.
@@IvyDeShield If I can give you some advice, learn Spanish. Then you will be able to read the poetry of the golden century and Spanish romanticism. Spanish poetry from that period is one of the most beautiful things you can read. Not like the feminist woke crap they make you read in universities in Spain, Canada, Argentina and the United States. Really universally human stuff. The highest that the human spirit can reach in its search for beauty.
Don't forget the portuguese medieval and baroque.
As a curious fact, look for the writers of the German black romanticism of the interwar period and Clark Ashton Smith, the Keats of the Pacific.
Happy 40 birthday OG Aaliyah, Aaliyah nation
Johnny Davis omg she would’ve been 40?😩😩
Johnny Davis omfggg. Awwwww she would've been 40. Ma dad's age. R.I.P bbg😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Facts
I don't think she would have been 40
lyric videos for days she most definitely would be 40 Aaliyah was born January 16 1979 therefore in 2019 she would be 40
Despite how creepy the lyrics are, her vocals are so mesmerizing and I absolutely love the opening of the song
Don't forget the soul/R&B
calling anything creepy with that handle and profile pic is rather ironic
@@ELgeneral-pl9yg facts
@@ELgeneral-pl9yg lol
Funny coming from you
Aaliyah was the coldest 15 year old alive!
She was she blew Brandi and Monica outta the wayer
Aaliyah always in our heart , the Queen of rnb
People stay blaming Aaliyah and everyone else and not the criminal R KELLY. Y’all are sick. Victim shaming needs too stop.
R.I.P Aaliyah
I think all parties involved is to be blame nt r kelly alone
nobody blame her, they throwin a dead person under the bus. nasty
Eraun Haughton i rlly miss ha. Wish i wouldve met her when i got older. Im her age now💙🙏
Noones blaming her. Stop making up facts for likes
@@nathanielmoore180 exactly, she let the fame get to her, her music was good but followed he parents advice and led her to r kelly, hes not really only to blame
She was so talented... only 14 years old. Wow. I can't believe how young she was. While I'm grateful for this song, we have to make sure what happened to Aaliyah never happens to any other young woman in the industry ever again.
Still happening dude
Not young women, young girls.
@@riddlesangerissues3127 absolutely
Agreed
We who?
This song is arguably one of Aaliyah's masterpieces in regards to her legacy.
One of my favorites...
@@deonnadyson This track gives out a genuine vibe.
Iconic song
Written by a pedophile.
R Kelly wrote it
Imagina teres 14 anos e estares a cantar essa música para um adulto de quase 30 anos! Tenho vontade de vomitar até.
Oqué ele fazia com ela!? Meu Deus, mundo muito cruel.
Her voice so calming and soothing 😍
Like water
I am 45 year old white guy who loved rnb and hip hop starting in late 80s. I was around 16 when this and Back and Forth came out-summer of 94. Shit was fire. My life was girls, parties and sports back then so hearing she was around the same age as me but also possibly dating Rkelly just really didn’t hit hard. Years later, thinking about how the powers that be had her sing this, even though it’s an absolute classic, hurts especially as a father of a mixed daughter. Aaliyah was one of most gifted and beautiful people to walk this earth and going through what she did at this age when this song was made is sad. Thank for your contribution to this world baby girl RIP
Love this, nice to see you still enjoying the classics!
😂😂😂same as me
It hurts especially because you have a mixed daughter? Not understanding this. Even if your child wasn't half African American you should have empathy for Aaliyah being a victim of pedophilia.
having a mixed daughter should not influence your view of this. I'm a black woman who hates what happened to brook shields. We should want children to be protected regardless of if we have mixed kids or regardless of our race.
@@truthspeaker8863 agreed
Aaliyah's swag is on point! You go girl!!
This song is like a dream, but the lyrics are dubious
Her parents definitely sold her out.. there’s no way they didn’t know
Her parents didn't know till he proposed to her and they told her parents
There's a movie about her- Aaliyah, princess of RnB
Elika-Zeahn Stanley so im guessing you would let your 15 year old daughter hang out and be “best friends “ with a 27 year old man ?
i heard r kelly slept with her mom, and that's why she kept quiet. i wouldn't be surprised. 🤷♀️
I agree...no way they had no clue. Rest Babygirl...your fans will forever remember u.
So Aaliyah, Monica and Brandy are in my age range. I remember when they all came out looking way older than me. Then finding out they were my age was crazy.
beautyfool All the up and coming female artists in the 90’s were made to look way older. Hell destinys child were serenading grown ass men at 15 in their No, No, No video (the original, not the remix).
Creepy but still fire.
greg rose true
How tf is it creepy?
David Faletau it’s creepy because of the backstory. R Kelly’s making her sing some grown ass twisted song when she’s only 15. And now we know they had a relationship so it’s even more fucked up to think about.
@@Sabdarling it aint creepy.....its just messed up what r kelly did ight
A teenager singing age ain't nothing but a number is creepy. Where were her parents?
justice for you Aaliyah!! The truth is being elucidated
This song/album turns 27 tomorrow. And this August marks 20 years since she transitioned to an angel. #RIPAaliyah
gone way to soon 💔
R Kelly was 27 when he wrote this. The song is 27 years old. FeelsWeird bro.
@@blaisea.3820 to hell with r kelly
Human beings dont transition into angels we are two separate creations. But I understand the point you are making.
@@blaisea.3820 And he got 2x her age when they married (15) as jail sentence lol 30 years of karma.
Though the lyrics are disturbing, this song is such a vibe. i love it
I used to love this song when it was out. After watching 'Surviving R. Kelly', I'll never be able to listen to it the same way again.
ShellsterNYC same
same here
😥 don't let this a-hole destroy her whole legacy
I know it's completely ruined this whole album and sadly it's the only one available on Spotify... It isn't even her best work smh
Same 😕
