So I'm listening to the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack (<3), and I pop in the CSR station and then memories start flooding back. I listened to so much of this when I was younger. I'm not sure if it's the nostalgia or what, but R&B these days is so boring in comparison.

I mean. Shit man. En Vogue: Never Gonna Get It.

Mother fucking BOYS II MEN.

These days what do you have? Anyone have good R&B suggestions?

TLC - Waterfalls

So amazing!

R&B is in worse condition than rap right now. At least rap has underground cats to keep it afloat. R&B has shit sans Usher!

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:55:55 PM »

R&B has been shit since my nicca Terence Trent D'Arby fell off. Oh and Michael Jackson.

It was amazing in the 60's and 70's, and once Motown died out (IE the actual song writers died out, leaving the untalented artists without someone to write for them) it went to shit.

Boyz to Men wtf?

Terence come back!

R&B gets revived whenever Usher releases a new album. Notice how all these wannabe negroes start showing up whenever he's on hiatus.

Omarion? nicca was working at Burger King when Usher dropped YEAH.

Marques Houston? smh@ this nicca's ass since he left Sister Sister

Chris Brown? Someone needs to tell this homo that helium vocals went out of style when Michael Jackson grew pubes. Light skin brothas always fuckin up shit

My brother actually loves that song

R'nB is the black man's country music.

Why is she considered to be awesome? She was meh when she was alive and died because she was unpatient.

Dead distinguished black fellows are usually the best distinguished black fellows (IE Malcolm X, MLK, Tupac), but she doesn't deserve to be in that list

She'd probably be Nelly Furtana if she was alive, IE doing a lot of stuff with Timbaland. Even then she was doing lots of stuff with him

She was going on a plane and she had a lot of cargo. She was told that her and her crew had too much cargo, and that it could endanger the plane. She didn't want to leave the cargo and decided to take off anyway. BAM she died.

So yes, she was impatient and it costed her life

Investigation

NTSB reports indicate that the pilot, Luis Morales III, was not qualified to pilot the plane he was attempting to fly. Morales falsely obtained his FAA license by showing hundreds of hours never flown, and he may also have falsified how many hours he had flown in order to get a job with his employer, Blackhawk International Airways. Additionally, an autopsy performed on Morales revealed cocaine and alcohol in his blood.

Further investigations determined the plane was over its total gross weight by several hundred pounds. Although witnesses claimed that the passengers had been asked to leave some luggage behind, it was later discovered that the passengers, including Aaliyah, had not been informed of the excess weight.

Eddie Golson, president of Pro Freight Cargo Services at Opa-locka Airport, said workers carted "a pickup truck of freight" from the crash site Monday. "That's absurd to think that this pilot got in this airplane with eight other people and a truck full of freight and expected this thing to fly," Golson said. "What the hell was going on?" A baggage handler was reported to have said that no one weighed the passengers or baggage. Two of the passengers, members of Aaliyah's entourage, weighed in the neighborhood of 300 pounds and sat in the rear of the plane, where the baggage was also stored.

The day of the crash was Mr. Morales' first official day with Blackhawk International Airways, a Part 135 single-pilot operation. He had been employed with Golden Airlines, from which he was fired only four hours before the fatal crash. In addition, Luis Morales III was not registered with the FAA to fly for Blackhawk. As a result of the accident, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed by Aaliyah’s parents and was later settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

Aaliyah: More Than A Woman (2001) by Christopher John FarleyBarry & Sons, Inc., a corporation formed in 1992 to develop, promote and capitalize on the musical talents of Aaliyah and to oversee the production and distribution of her records, tapes and music videos, brought an unsuccessful lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Instinct Productions LLC, (a company hired by Barry & Sons, Inc. in August, 2001 to produce the "Rock the Boat" music video). The case was dismissed since New York State's wrongful death statute only permits certain people to recover damages for wrongful death.
