Let's be honest here... Aaliyah was never a huge artist. She's gotten more attention in death than she ever did while still alive. Both Brandy and Monica owned the young female pop/R&B demographic in the 90's and all one has to do is look at their record sales to confirm this. Aaliyah had a lot of potential and her music was definitely edgy but she was far from the "legend" or "princess of r&b" we're pretending she was. No shade...just speaking the truth.
