Remembering Aaliyah: Keys N Krates Remixes X MTV interviews Missy Elliot
UNFORGETTABLE (KEYS N KRATES RMX) by Keys N Krates
AALIYAH - ONE IN A MILLI (KEYSNKRATES LIVE REMIX) by Keys N Krates
MTV interviews Missy Elliot: Remembering Aaliyah nine years later.
By Jayson Rodriguez
It's been nine years since Aaliyah Dana Haughton died in a plane crash and left an immense void in the hearts of her family, friends and fans.
The singer's star was still rising when her life was cut short. She released multiplatinum albums and had just started her film career, but there was always a sense that her journey would be a long one, destined for greatness.
Traces of her style and influence are apparent in contemporary artists, but her legacy is most evident in her collaborators, including Timbaland, Ginuwine and Missy Elliot.
Missy spoke with MTV News via e-mail and shared some of her favorite Aaliyah memories.
MTV: When you look around today at some of the current R&B stars, who do you see traces of Aaliyah's influence in?
Missy Elliott: I think it's hard for Aaliyah to be duplicated, because she had her own lane. But Ciara is an R&B singer who loves to dance, and Aaliyah was that same kinda artist. We knew when she dropped a record, we couldn't wait for the video. I think Aaliyah has influenced artists like a Ciara.
