Aaliyah "Try Again (Belief Remix)"

Aaliyah "Try Again (Belief Remix)": Here's the first leak from Belief's Aaliyah Remix Project. Dude did a good job with this too - blends a few different styles; sounds like a live jam session with an '80s Hip-Hop set-up, but with some fatter basslines. The LA beatsmith has hooked me - let's see where he goes with this.

Shouts to Dunn Deal for this one!

Aaliyah ft. Jay-Z "I Miss You (Remix)": 7 years, and we're still missing you. RIP to the flyest, finest and fiercest to do it. We miss you, Aaliyah.

Too Good For Earth

I did it last year, and I'm doing it again. It has been too long, Miss Aaliyah. Happy birthday, Aaliyah. I won't dwell on this very long. Just know I have Jay-Z's "Miss You (Remix)" rollin' right now. R&B sure as hell hasn't been the same.

Stay up, angel. And for those who were looking for MP3s of some of her best, hit this link; I re-upped a bunch of cuts to zShare. Your welcome.

Happy Birthday, Aaliyah.

You are sorely missed. True talent.

"it's been too long, and i'm lost without you"

Do you remember where you were when you heard that Aaliyah died? I do...

I was in North Jersey, Woodbridge to be exact. I was helping get my friend Krissy's friend's attic set up. I was getting paid in free food, alchohol, and other stuff. It was a good time. Anyways, whilst working, we had Hot 97 on, and the news came... Aaliyah dies in a plane crash. Say wha!?!?! One of the true shining stars of our generation, gone in an instant? A girl who was so mysterious, so talented at both singing AND dancing (as well as a burgeoning acting career), just taken from us like that? I won't get into the fury I had over the now infamous "joke" that Star and that crew would make (plane sounds, other ignorant shit), but I had a hole in my heart from that.

The thing about Aaliyah is, she was just a genuine good soul. Her music was true, whether she was singing about heartache or just having a good time. I wish there was more I could do, but there isn't. I will just show my love and appreciation in a post like this... and share with the world my favorite Aaliyah tracks. Yes, most of these are singles, but those are the moments when she shined most.

I won't go into detail explaining what the deal is, track for track. If you are reading this post, damnit you know what the skill is. There's a few exclusives or never before heard (by many) mixes of the tracks, so those will be explained. Let's get it on!

• "Are You That Somebody"
• "Hot Like Fire (Timbaland's Groove Mix)"
• "Try Again"
• "Miss You (Remix ft. Jay-Z)"
• "If Your Girl Only Knew"
• "One In A Million"
• "More Than A Woman"
• "Rock The Boat (DJ Clipz Mix 2)"
