Its fair to say that Aahliyah's music career was evolving. At the time what she was contributing was groundbreaking and fresh within the RNB paradigm.I believe if she toke of that formula of singing more generic rnb/pop songs like no scrubs,all for, independent woman, u remind of a girl etc. You know those more catchy mainstream tunes her album would've performed better on a global stance. I commend her last effort for being excremental and fresh. Her carrer as actress was going to explode no doubt about . She had the image and style in the bag and i can see her becoming a brand in business. The main ingredient for Aahliyah going forward was to blend her rnb/hip hop sounds with pop . I think she would've managed to successfully transition like usher into pop territories. Given her multi talented abilty i think she woudve been on par with Rihanna and Beyonce . I think Beyonce awesome and amazing i just think thou successful her style and flow remains stagnant. Props to Rihanna for always coming different. At the end of the day they are all amazing black queens
