"Aaliyah" (2001): AALIYAH - Era Review | Diva Discography {Part 2}

In our part 2 episode of Aaliyah’s “Aaliyah” (2001), Angie and Steffi break down the era. We discuss Aaliyah’s career trajectory in the lead up to “Aaliyah”, her untimely death, and how the Estate has managed her legacy since.

In our Era Breakdown episodes, we touch on so many topics like career context, controversies/scandals of the era, marketing, music videos, live performances, album stats, and the album & era’s ultimate impact and legacy. For this episode, we discuss how Aaliyah was making her way into films, her relationship with Damon Dash, the infamous “Rock the Boat” video shoot, and of course, her death.

Again, this is part 2 of the conversation! So make sure you listen to part 1 where we discussed the album track by track.

We hope you enjoyed our Aaliyah “Aaliyah” journey. RIP Aaliyah.
