Aaliyah graces the cover of Fader Magazine’s June 08 Annual Icon Edition. The issue is a tribute to Aaliyah and her contributions to the music industry with quotes from industry folks, family and friends. Here are a few quotes from the issue
“We was gonna save the world. We was gonna change music every chance we got. We was gonna always be family. Forever.”
Damon Dash
“She was already a fashion icon, she was getting into movies, she had already planted that seed. If she was alive today she would be so relevant. I see little bits of her everywhere I look, in a lot of artists.”
Kidada Jones
“I think about her all the time…Anytime she’s brought up or her music comes on the radio, it’s sweet, but it definitely sounds like she found a niche before it was here. If you listen to her music it’s so relevant today, but we had it so long ago.”
“If it wasn’t for Aaliyah being the face and voice of [Missy Elliott and Timbaland’s] sound they might have never got to where they did. They were presenting their sort of brilliant but challenging breakthrough music through this beautiful young girl who could sing it perfectly.”
Jomo Hankerson
“I think a lot of that mysteriousness they talk about was just what she was. She seemed like she came here already grown up, from the beginning.”
You can’t help but wonder where she would be career wise; musically and on the big screen if she was still here. She had accomplished so much at such a young age and still hadn’t reached her peak.
