Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
it's a normal monday, not sure what social media got you riled up, but stop paying attention to any of it...again, it's hard to juggle fanbases and you need r/rnb for any sort of levelheadedness to realize there are other people who can sing out there to put everything back into perspective. it's always these fanbases going at it. people don't randomly become billionaires on accident without dirt attached to their names, and that goes for anybody....hollyweird and the music industry have many open secrets that fans only get to peer inside when there's scandal and then it closes once there's no more scrutiny or victims get paid off or 'randomly die' like kim porter. those who can't get a healthy dose of reality need to really check themselves
there are people playing at rucker park who are better street hoopers than anybody in the NBA simply because they weren't afforded the college route. there are people singing at church choirs or as a hobby better than whatever song that took a ghostwriter and a team of creatives to make for an otherwise manufactured radio hit. the industry has a lot of gatekeeping and initiation rituals that they make people go thru just to carry on their agenda, where they get rewarded on the backend with 'that industry push' but remain broke due to 360 deals and bad contracts, and only those who are groomed, victimized, humiliated, or have blackmail on them get chosen to not have their album shelved randomly despite having a ton of talent. soul plane was a kevin hart debut movie and he was barely anybody back then nor was he even that funny -- he's more loud and obnoxious who did the deeds for him to become famous, plus he wore the dress on SNL, etc
people have to realize creativity and talent isn't a rare commodity amongst humans. it's more like school beats it out of you for you to be a trained robot to be complicit towards hoop-jumping tasks for you to be more distracted and hone in less creativity over time, plus be a propaganda echoing machine with 'what to think' instead of 'how to learn' for yourselves and not sell out your own community for personal gains. fame and popularity is a façade and a false construct created initially by self-indulging elites for them to be within the limelight with nepotism if it wasn't for some entertainment endeavors and real talent coming from outsiders. there were pockets of time in the past where anybody with talent and a dream made it unscathed without the casting couch or had to be androgynous or in the closet to make it, but that window is always closing due to there only being 3-4 conglomerates for large scale film and music, and other small scale production studios and record labels being defunct or bought out like what happened to BET
i'm not sure how to even begin peeling away the delusion from the misinformed fanbases that just want to compare and bicker over surface level tension other than to drop nuggets of knowledge for them to research on their own and prove to themselves the silent and secret parts of the entertainment industry that they don't want you to know. the conspiracy around aaliyah's death already woken half of us up a long time ago for the industry trying to stop this self-owned black record label from prospering, but her death itself should not be overblown and victimized beyond her life's accomplishments, because it then makes her a caricature of what you think she is in your mind, with crazy doctored photoshop edits and fanfiction, instead of who she was as a person when she was alive.

go back to the conspiracy side of tumblr reblogs if that helps...there's a lot to cover and a lot of fixed-minded people who deify stars based on who they are and not based on what their actual talent is, mostly because they want to fit in with a sense of belonging to some collective, and there's a lot of cognitive dissonance/social incongruency that you're passively trying to explain away and dismiss with what individuals actively chose to do vs what the rest of the complicit fanbase is doing to not even be associated with them for prolonged periods of time, because you get peer pressured and influenced to think and mirror back the same propaganda as them...we simply choose to stand our ground and not partake in any of that as the orthodox fanbase of what once was instead of the rehashed narrative of what people try to revise history to be for next generation/newcomers

this is just a community note:
some people trauma dump as this 'performance art' just so others can be their emotional support tampon and to get validation from others. it's quite disturbing because they never get better but just remix whatever karma farm that worked and repost something else along the lines of what worked before. it's like this 'pull the lever for this dopamine treat in interaction' mechanism in reddit posts except she's making up how distraught she is by emotionally manipulating others for clout, by hastily posting a string of these half baked unguided posts without any deep analysis or discovery where they never have some light hearted recovery -- they just recycle the same sentiments and content just to prove that they are a 'fan'...you can be a fan in strength like aaliyah was as a person instead of vulnerability in victimhood mentality for people to give you attention to save you all the time. it's like the movie 'a beautiful mind', the kid never grows up in the eyes of mental delusion/actual schizophrenia. well, this is the same scenario, and certain ideologies protect this victimhood performance art instead of calling them out on it, but it really dilutes and affects the community negatively when exposed long term to this for more copycat behavior, especially when certain fans actually suffered from this silently and already wished and got better from this mental haze just to be pulled back into another round of this, but with her superficial understanding of it all, instead of having any real deep insights
this is to differentiate who is actually 'playing the game/manipulating the system' from the tiktok attention span gamesmanship generation and who's really deep into their depression and sadness and want to vent all their deep cut findings and analysis. if people want to vent and be vulnerable like this, you are free to, but it's clear who actually did their research and are real fans, and who is method-acting and masquerading someone else's success with their hairbrained posts for the same amount of attention and virtue signaling, but then reveal their true selves in the DMs by completely being a different person having no remorse or accountability in spiteful and hateful comments -- there is a huge chasm to differentiate those who's actually been to that low vibrational helpless mind state, and her spin-off is actually mocking real victims with her poor understanding of it all, where this person is also glorifying dead celebrities in some opposite-world worship, so we had to cut the plug on her short after she caught flack and got called out for doing this in r/rnb for other acts, and the deletes unsuccessful posts she didn't benefit from (because if you really felt this way, you should have stuck with your guns and kept up the posts instead of only performing for audience feedback) but randomly found success in r/aaliyah because of unconditional, fervent upvoting in the sub as long as it's aaliyah instead of people really paying attention to her lack of details or blatant manipulation
---
ok, let's examine a typical person who's depressed and want to actually express their deep feelings. we've all been there, this is not our first rodeo, especially being aaliyah fans. so, for those who are strong enough, mentally go back to that challenging time and place and recall how you actually felt and endured. alright now, what is the purpose of writing a post on an online public forum for all to see about your sadness and depression? it's a last ditch of effort for human interaction and support if your immediate surroundings isn't listening or if you are not being understood, or even worse, you are being gaslit and handcuffed by circumstances around you like a job or relationship, i.e. see any LSA rant. you are basically a willowing plant who is trying to dispatch this last seed of existence to fight for your sanity with survival instincts kicking in, where it's no longer a thought but a gut feeling to do something out of the ordinary that isn't in your typical routine or molded in your character trait to do. you are trying to exorcise these demons from within by spewing every excruciating detail to explain why your brain is short circuiting in this mental debilitating state to show the world your exact dirty laundry in order to defeat the enemy that is causing your distress. You just need some crowd support of someone agreeing with you because only you can convince yourself to no longer feel this way or have the courage to change your circumstance, as long as you provide as much details as needed to conquer and defeat this depression, of explaining your life and circumstance so that others can latch onto your words and help you defeat your circumstance. ok, this is how it typically works
alright, what makes this person different is that imagine an amorphous climbing wall with no details about her life and nothing to latch onto and it's just this gimmicky cloudy headspace of ambiguity in her trail of 'sadness' posts. she never gets better nor does she write commentary about how she is actually conquering or exorcising her demons. there is no mechanism in her sterile/artificial sadness posts to actually get better but to just revisit the sadness itself like groundhog's day on repeat and she doesn't have a deep understanding of aaliyah, where she is only worshiped as a dead celebrity idol with superficial posts of just her streamed songs commonly found without any original research or digging into her accomplishments of who she actually was and what she did outside of the commonly found accolades. also, onlookers are 'tricked' into thinking it's one of those authentic depression posts and they are giving their support in upvotes and commentary but don't even know how to help because of the half baked ambiguity in how the posts are constructed, or there is some slick captions about her death but that's it. this user doesn't want to be 'healed' nor is she looking for help. she is merely using this aaliyah sub as a mechanism for attention, karma farming, and replying comments in glee that she 'did good' on some viral posts to get the heads up to cook up another remix of this trauma porn -type posts. it's disasterly outrageous that onlookers are not aware of this underhanded manipulation at play and are willing participants of this stolkholm syndrome victim roleplaying she is constructing, like the people who pretend to have tourette's on tiktok for sympathy. these people are incentivized with the wrong conditioning and are simply making a mockery of crying wolf so the next person who actually has authentic sadness doesn't get as much attention because people will become numb to this gamesmanship of this emotional distraught. this is what we're trying to prevent and our sub is not for any of that.
her posts going 'viral' from people tricked into trying to help and give support also reinforces the negative stereotype coming from other jeering fanbases that aaliyah fans only use her death as an crutch/weapon/excuse to worship her and say that she is better than other artists, and overall just undermines everything aaliyah did in her life. this self fulfilling prophecy of this echo chamber of reddit subs has these problems that we are trying to address and overcome, so there's a bunch of layered reasons why we don't condone this type of behavior. hope that clarifies further.

As a clear note: we are not celebrating Aaliyah's death date. When you hear about entertainers who passed early like 2Pac (Sept 13), Biggie (March 9), Nipsey (March 31), Big L (Feb 15), Kobe Bryant (Jan 26), Michael Jackson (June 25), etc their death date is also widely known, but nobody really celebrate when they died outside of Diddy for Biggie because Diddy and the record labels got rich off of Biggie after he died because his songs and rights became free reign. Please do yourself a favor and stop thinking that August 25th is some sanctimonious date to be celebrated because other fanbases don't do this. Instead, celebrate her birthday and her album release anniversaries.

ok, i'll just write this as a warning. for those creators who are into using the latest AI tools for Aaliyah media, watch out for scam pages and sites
www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBnDo4mQ7gA
www.lightyearconcepts.com/
So this video is making 'claims as an example' that you are able to create music videos with 'AI' but there is no tech stack presented nor do they show screen captures of what the software interface even looks like. There are none of the usual buzz words involved with AI or what githubs it cites to create such AI. They just have examples but does not elaborate on how it's done. I strongly believe the site is to fool commoners, where the landing page is a scam or an elaborate hoax where they do the music video using other 'freemium' or premium tools on your behalf like a fiverr listing, because they don't even have an official website email (just a gmail that anyone can create) and ask for too much of your information on an insecure web entry form. The music video and the landing page essentially targets the dead rap/r&b demographic and their overzealous fans who are eager to make an expensive purchase without double checking the site's authenticity. Plus, there are other 'vouched' sites where you can animate by frame cuts from picture sources with a free trial instead of an upfront purchase. in the likes of www.steve.ai/ www.animaker.com/ www.biteable.com/ www.canva.com/ www.simplified.com/ ...just ask www.perplexity.ai/ and www.chatgpt.com/ for more, stay safe out there
