Remember Aaliyah's tragic plane crash death in 2001? Yeah, baby.

Huge star in the 90's, had her first big hit when she was barely a teenager. I don't remember her music; I wasn't plugged into the mainstream at all. I know it was considered R&B.
The story goes she was “taken care of” to make way for Beyonce
I was listening to NIrvana then.
By the time Aaliyah's first album came out in 1994 I was listening to them less. Only played In Utero a few times. It just didn't sit well. Nirvana had been ruined by a psycho-bitch and then Kurt was dead. There were a lot of good bands at that time. Lot of real Grunge and incredible underground shit was happening still. Steel Pole Bath Tub, Melvins, Mudhoney, Tad, Soundgarden, Monster Magnet, Sonic Youth, they were all candidates to be the Next Big Thing. It was mindblowing at the time to see all these obscure bands I loved getting big.
Sonic Youth. There's a band I haven't though about in a while. Just saw Ministry, Gary Numan, and TKK. Going to Metallica, "Pantera", and one other in the spring.
The only "black" music I listen to is jazz and go-go (I grew up in C in the 80s). And earliest hiphop like Geto Boyz, Onyx, etc,
I listen to so much Jazz. For months now I've been exploring the world of 70's Fusion.
Is that Ghetto Boyz of the Die MFer Die MFer Die fame, from Office Space?
Stupid printers.
Still love the Melvins. I liked they weren’t druggies. Soundgarden’s only hiccup was the production of bad motorfinger. Such a great band. Ya know what is a mixed masterpiece? Tool’s 10,000 days. The Pot is my recently declared number one rock song of all time. Joe Baressi is a genius.
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah ...
