Aaliyah aaliyah haughton Aaliyah Dana Haughton

Here's my Aaliyah collection. It's a rough draft. Feel free to add in songs that I am missing. Pardon the remixes but some were actually in the Single CD Promo.

Use ctri+f to find all the songs

To be honest, I would rather hear all of her songs a capella, except for some with timbaland beats

…rumor has it that there's going to be an Aaliyah album releasing in 2014.

MORE SONGS THAN LISTED ON WIKIPEDIA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Aaliyah_songs

number of unique Aaliyah tracks: 214…didn't want to bore you with that many remixes

Nas - Nasty - Life Is Good
Produced by Salaam Remi

Yeah, word
Got some Remy Martin
Some good-ass cigars
Check it out

Ayo, late night
Candlelight
Fiend wit’
Diesel
In his needle
Queensbridge leader
No equal
I come from the Wheel
Of Ezekiel
To pop
Thousand-dollar bot-
tles of scotch
Smoke pot
And heal the people
Any rebuttal
To what I utter
Get box-cuttered
Count how many bad honeys I slutted
It’s a high number
Name a nigga under
The same sky
That I’m under
Who gets money, remain fly
Yeah, I wonder?
Eyes flutter
As love…

kanye west produced it for G.O.O.D. Music
This is how the rhyme scheme breaks down:

Common/Common Sense uses a lot of "near-rhymes" a.k.a. words that almost rhyme on paper, but rhymes when pronounced with slang

These are
Words of a believer
Achiever
LEAder
Of the globe
Free the
Souls
Of those
In need.
I bleed
The blood
Of the struggle
Walking over troubled
Puddles
The hustler's
In my chest
No hustling
No progress
Extremities of life in this process
The birth…

Mixtapes and Blends
Not all the mixtapes shown are "original" material…I just put as much mixtape covers I could find because 1) sometimes, the cover is better than the blended attempts themselves 2) mixtapes are a form of hip hop and just look at how many DJs paid their homage!

Not listing "fake" mixtapes where the "self proclaimed" DJ just takes already released tracks, crop it, rename it, do a lot…
