Posted by Mitch Michaels on 05.12.2008
Mark Ronson, Ciara, Method Man and others give their thoughts on fallen R&B star...
The Fader is ready to present its annual "Icon" Issue, this time highlighting the life and legacy of the revolutionary songstress, Aaliyah.
From their press release:
"Born in Brooklyn and raised in Detroit, Aaliyah Dana Haughton entered the music scene with her first album, Age Aint Nothing but a Number at the age of 15. From that point forward, Aaliyah began to revolutionize the popscape with a quick and effortless swoop, her influence in 2008 an omnipresent force from the futuristic megahits dominating the airwaves to the demure pop sensibilities fluttering throughout the underground.
Before Aaliyah's life was cut short in 2001, the Grammy-nominated artist sold millions of records worldwide--collaborating with producers and artists including Missy Elliott and Timbaland. Although Aaliyah was only in the spotlight for a short time, she had a major impact on these artists personally, and many others professionally including Mark Ronson, Ciara, Method Man, Beth Ditto, and Kid Sister. These artists and more were all interviewed, offering their take on how Aaliyah's impact has transcended over the years, long after her death."

I liked Aaliyahs music and was really sad when she died... but I would hardly call her an "Icon"

Aaliyah was defintely an icon for many, and she set the sound for most of the r&B/hip hop tracks you hear today, and unlike the artist of today, she was able to be to do all of this and still remain respectability and integrity, the business should take notes...
