Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Aaliyah’s tragic death. And like always around this time, Missy had the opportunity to reflect on Baby Girl, this time over at CNN.
Today is the 10 year anniversary of Aaliyah’s passing and I’m sitting here reminiscing and playing music, thinking of the times we spent together, working, laughing, singing, dancing, cutting up. But really, it’s not all that different from any other day because I do think about her every day.
Not on purpose, but she is my friend and that’s just how I do. I’ve told the same stories for 9 years – how we met, how me and Tim were scared but Aaliyah was so welcoming and had this smile and way about her that put us at ease, that she liked to take chances and we were able to just be who we were and make good records together.
She loved playing jokes and that’s another part of her personality that made it fun to be around her. As a talent, I think she’s missed because she was unique and a true triple threat. She could sing, dance, and her acting was starting to take off.
I’m glad for the memories I have and the time we got to spend together, but I miss my friend.
Rest In Peace and Power Baby Girl.

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
Truly missed…young legend in her own right. Classic.
I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE DAY
10 YEARS FUCKING HELL
LISTENING TO 1 OF THE BEST RNB ALBUMS EVER
Aaliyah One In A Million .. I GOT 2 COPIES
sounds like missy was trying to get up in that. rip tho
2001 was a fucked up year
She was one of the finest chicks ever mane,and she had that voice.
I wish there were more Aaliyah’s nowadays. She was the perfect woman. RIP. what is hip hop
here’s a question…
why the fuck is CNN talking to missy? sometimes i wish these american news/media outlets would stay out of our affairs.
aaliyah was an angel, though. not to distract too much from the matter at hand. i read dame dash talking to billboard the other day about her. smh…
she was sexy but had such grace and class. just this respectability about her that niggas couldnt help but speak carefully about.
