Aaliyah was so ahead of her time.
The Aaliyah album is still miles ahead of R&B, then and now.

That whole album is so brilliant. We still really need to do a rate for it.

How about a 2001 R&B Diva rate? No More Drama vs. Aaliyah vs. All For You?

But you know she wants to. She only says so about ten times.

Yeah, but she has morals. That's what I'm saying. She might wanna get down on the First Night, she knows she's better than that, and won't.

Something Hoodrats fail to understand.

Aaliyah & All For You have already been or are about to be rated.

All For You is so far below the other two in quality. Apart from the title track, "STCML" and "Trust A Try", All For You was so average and forgettable.

I'm totally kidding.

I just thought it was funny you would call "I Wanna Be Down" hoodrat when it seems like such a sweet little jam about puppy love.

I know! I can only imagine the kind of genius she would have given us if her life and career hadn't been cut short.

I can't listen to "I Care 4 U" in the dark when it's quiet. It's very creepy and eerie idk y something about it is so dramatic and sad lol

All For You was a damn good album. It drones on a bit and sometimes it gets a bit too vulgar but it was a treat to listen to nonetheless.

The First Night is more hoodrat anthemic than I Wanna Be Down...**** Monica as a dam person was more hoodrattish in the 90's than Brandy lmaoo I mean at the age of 13 she had an album titled Miss Thang but u gotta love it lol

IC4U should be in the top 5. That song is a masterpiece. When it was sent out as a single after Aaliyah's passing, I cried.

The final song is this set is the one that never ceases to make me emotional ever since Aaliyah's death.

Is it "I Miss You"?

You got it. This one still makes my heart ache...

"Miss You" (2002)
I Care 4 U
Hot 100 peak: #3



Overall score: 8.58
High score: 10 (3x)/Low score: 6 (1x)

Originally conceived for Ginuwine, this holdover from Aaliyah took on new poignancy in light of the singer's tragic death and became the lead single for her first posthumous album, I Care 4 U. A huge R&B smash—it charted for 37 weeks, including three at #1—it was also Aaliyah's biggest Hot 100 hit ever after "Try Again," finishing 2003 as the #8 song of the year. Voter response was strong as well, with half awarding "Miss You" a 9 or above. But the four 6's and 7's it received kept the song just outside the upper echelon of this countdown.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

This song is absolutely amazing. Makes me so sad since Aaliyah died

[DeathRevisited]

As much as I love Aaliyah, I always felt this was one of her weaker tracks.
The adlibs and her vocals were flawless though.

This song is so emotional, but then I always end up thinking of Toni Braxton's camera hogging ass in the video making all these seductive movements when it's supposed to be a sad moment

Monica
"Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)" (1995)
"Before You Walk Out of My Life" (1995)
"Angel of Mine" (1999)

Brandy
"Sittin' Up in My Room" (1996)
"The Boy Is Mine" with Monica (1998)
"Have You Ever?" (1998)

Aaliyah
"Back & Forth" (1994)
"At Your Best (You Are Love)" (1994)
"If Only Your Girl Knew" (1996)
"One in a Million" (1997)
"Are You That Somebody?" (1998)
"Try Again" (2000)
"We Need a Resolution" ft. Timbaland (2001)
"Rock the Boat" (2001)
"More Than a Woman" (2002)

I hope tomorrow is mostly Aaliyah songs. I'd hate to have Monica & Brandy to lose more songs

Monica needs at least ONE song in the top 10

Toni is my favorite part of the video

On the breakfast club today Timbaland said he has some Aaliyah tracks he's gonna release soon and 1 of them he's finishing up for the fans. I wonder what it will sound like
