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

There are sooooo many original independent artists out there with WAY more talent but we won't get to see them because they dont fit into the industry's little bubble
Yes Kim was “bullied“ by people including men she was in a relationship with but she didn’t change herself for them neither did she blamed them for why she did anything to herself. She was abused in a relationship and was beaten really badly which was one of many reasons she got surgeries and yes biggie was also “bullied” about his weight etc but at the end of the day he isn’t kim many people handle things in the wrong way. Also lil Kim knew biggie way before Faith so yes after he got married to faith after only knowing her for a week or so did break her heart.
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.
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!
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! 😥
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..
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.
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.
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.
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❗🕵
@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
@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.
36 yrs old- never seen this, cried when we lost aaliyah, how have i not seen this!! i think of her any time i see @victoriamonet performing and dancing.
@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!
Honestly from the rappers to the singers to the groups everyone had their own style and everyone made hits, you could listen to someone and know who it was, nowadays everyone sounds the same.
Please give us more Aaliyah content like this, MTV’s Fanatic and some kind of legend/legacy tribute with performances from other artists (once her catalog becomes available) giving tribute, sharing best memories from other celebs/friends, the fact she is still relevant and influential, musically and style wise and a good person. There are still so many artists out now who are obviously influenced by her from these past two decades. Please and thank you.
WTF IS WRONG WITH YAH, GOT YOU DISTRACTED THAT QUICK, ARE YAH BLIND, no ones gonna talk about why MTV got our BEAUTIFUL BLACK Women Lookin Like CHARMED-HOKUS POKUS-HOGWARTS- MTV-PLOTTING-INDUSTRY=BET=SATANIC=WORSIP UR IDOLS WAKE ME UP FROM FROM THE MATRIX THEY THREW IT IN OUR FACE, STILL TODAY TRUE FACTS
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 😞😞
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 🙏
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I think it was mainly biggie that said that. If that was her love and he broke her spirit. She would see him go after a certain type of female look; she was willing to be who he wanted to have him. That aint work. Lesson: BE YOU
@@nsi8166 not just Biggie she said she dealt with being cheated on with light skinned women several times and was told by several men she dealt with that she was not enough....
@@nsi8166 It DEFINITELY wasn't Biggie dont put that on him. She was dating a loser who couldn't deal with her fame and was very abusive. Stories say he shattered her nose and that's when it all went down hill with the awful surgeries. The real sad part is her team let her over do it. IDC if she's grown if that's my girl I'm gonna stay on her and constantly let her know that she DOES NOT need to change her look and pastse before n after pics of other celebs who ruined their already good looks with that mess. Still sad tho
Yeah kim looks stunning and breath taking here im like shocked if pepple was telling her that... her skin complexion is everthing in this scene as well Also R.I.P BABY GIRL... #GoneButNeverForgotten!! This music ia not the same with out you#Aahilyah
Can someone tell me what BBL means? I’m an eighties baby so I have no clue what’s going on. I listen to 2pac and West coast like it just came. Shout out to LOX and the ruff ryders my Saturday 1a.m. Go to work Spotify mix.
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
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.
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.

She would have dominated the music industry and acting industry if she was alive today
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
@@reachforit69 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
@@reachforit69 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
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.
"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 🥹
Man...I just love every interview I find with Aaliyah. I could listen to her all day.
Aaliyah was CRAZY ahead of her time..
So was Missy and Lil Kim though. Missy was writing a lot of Aaliyah's hits. And all these female rappers are just copying Lil Kim.
yes. she knew where Hip Hop was headed!
They all were.
It still impresses me how I can see an old picture of Aaliyah in an outfit that would still look good even in today's times.
@@LightninRodsAttractMagic except Aaliyah because Aaliyah isn’t a rapper she’s a singer
“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
Da Brat has such a beautiful face!!!! Kim here looked beautiful, hate Hollywood and it’s affect on people.
I noticed them two too . . I knw Aaliyah stands out to most ppl and I definitely see why , but Kim & Da Brat were lookers too .
No one has an affect on her. She is grown
@@lashoncoleman4924 look at her history with biggie and see if you still think the same
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.
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
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 ❤️❤️
I can't even finish watching this. Back when times were happier...😢😢 #90sbaby #childhoodmemories 😔😔
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,
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
One thing about Da Brat is her face was always beat pk even till this day!! But omg they were all so beautiful!!! Still beautiful today.
Right she's like I may be a stud but yall gon appreciate this pretty FACCCE lbs
She does have a really pretty face.
As a child I did not notice her makeup until she did that video dressed all feminine. This is crazy
36 yrs old- never seen this, cried when we lost aaliyah, how have i not seen this!!
i think of her any time i see @victoriamonet performing and dancing.
If only this industry wasn’t evil, so much beauty
So true!
Agree
Sorry true.
@@SweetE1403 Colossians 3:8 , 1 John 1:9
Lil Kim and Aaliyah were so naturally beautiful.
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 💯
ORIGINALITY was every Artist in the 90's!!! Hard to find these days. Lil'Kim, Aaliyah, Missy, Da Brat true LADIES with BEAUTIFUL Souls.
2 bad you don’t see many females hip hop artist close or getting along like this nowadays
you sure its every artist? lol
Child...every artist dressed like this back then. Stop 😂
@@karimdib4436 yes kiddo. Sorry you missed the 90's where ORIGINALITY reigned SUPREME.
Honestly from the rappers to the singers to the groups everyone had their own style and everyone made hits, you could listen to someone and know who it was, nowadays everyone sounds the same.
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
@@layuhh403We said this about her while she was alive. How old are you?
@@layuhh403 I'm certain this would not be said about you.
Damn Aaliyah’s beauty was so commanding she kept me captivated rip angel 👼🏾 we miss u💖🙏🏾
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.
Please give us more Aaliyah content like this, MTV’s Fanatic and some kind of legend/legacy tribute with performances from other artists (once her catalog becomes available) giving tribute, sharing best memories from other celebs/friends, the fact she is still relevant and influential, musically and style wise and a good person. There are still so many artists out now who are obviously influenced by her from these past two decades. Please and thank you.
Right!!! They also have a whole Behind the Scenes of More Than A Woman video they never released 👀🤞🏾
What about one in a million??
@@TonyTurner Yessir! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

They're all so pretty. Wow.
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.
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 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.
love how Aaliyah speaks different amongst her homies vs. her own interviews -miss her always
Aaliyah forever ❤
I miss female artist like Kim, Missy, Brat, Aaliyah, Mary J, Lefteye etc. This was seriously the golden age for female artists
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 wish left eye was there with them. She was be perfect to fit in this.
Lol definitely R.I.P Lisa Lopez
Absolutly !!!
I agree. It would've been cool if they did a song together.
And Eve
Pebbles probably wouldn't let her lol
Yes we can! Well spoken, excellent singer with amazing moves, great actress. She was an original/ authentic beauty.
It makes me so proud to see this. The power in Black Unity is everything.
@Nef Faraj
LOL!
@Nef Faraj ,🎯💯🏆👏🏿👆🏾👏🏿
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❤️
Aaliyah was so gorgeous.
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 🙄🤣🤣🤦♀️💀
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 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!
How gorgeous they all looked!!!
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
Words can’t explain how much I miss Aaliyah 😩
Me too
Theirs no way people in the industry used to tell lil Kim she was ugly, they may tell her that NOW but back then no way.
I think it was mainly biggie that said that. If that was her love and he broke her spirit. She would see him go after a certain type of female look; she was willing to be who he wanted to have him. That aint work. Lesson: BE YOU
@@nsi8166 not just Biggie she said she dealt with being cheated on with light skinned women several times and was told by several men she dealt with that she was not enough....
@@nsi8166 It DEFINITELY wasn't Biggie dont put that on him. She was dating a loser who couldn't deal with her fame and was very abusive. Stories say he shattered her nose and that's when it all went down hill with the awful surgeries. The real sad part is her team let her over do it. IDC if she's grown if that's my girl I'm gonna stay on her and constantly let her know that she DOES NOT need to change her look and pastse before n after pics of other celebs who ruined their already good looks with that mess. Still sad tho
Yeah kim looks stunning and breath taking here im like shocked if pepple was telling her that... her skin complexion is everthing in this scene as well Also R.I.P BABY GIRL... #GoneButNeverForgotten!! This music ia not the same with out you#Aahilyah
@@alisaweaver9776 i swore i heard her say he put her down. He also called her Bishes. Black n ugly
i’ll never get over this video, their chemistry !
The golden era, when every women didn’t have the same body type. Sick of these BBL shapes.
serious this authentic beauty ......
Right! Their faces are so refreshing to look at without all these nasty fillers in faces now a days
Can someone tell me what BBL means? I’m an eighties baby so I have no clue what’s going on. I listen to 2pac and West coast like it just came. Shout out to LOX and the ruff ryders my Saturday 1a.m. Go to work Spotify mix.

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!
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
Aaliyah and that smile! ❤️
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
I miss Aaliyah Shes was so gorgeous
I miss the 90's
Yes! Me too!
💜
FOR REAL
Real
Same!
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.
Aaliyah. Just seeing her still breaks my heart. Rest In Peace. Such a tragedy.
😊
These kids will never know how powerful this clip is
Aaliyah is so gorgeous they had so much fun back then. I was thinking about this photoshoot for the past few days now.
Very confident and intelligent group of ladies! 🙌🏾
They look like they were having so much fun together, just vibing, doesn't even look like they were working on a set
The amount of charisma oozing from lil Kim is off the charts. What a legend.
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
