Aaliyah has been credited for helping redefine R&B and hip hop in the 1990s, "leaving an indelible imprint on the music industry as a whole."[79][171] Steve Huey of AllMusic wrote Aaliyah ranks among the "elite" artists of the R&B genre, as she "played a major role in popularizing the stuttering, futuristic production style that consumed hip-hop and urban soul in the late 1990s."[172] Described as one of "R&B's most important artists" during the 1990s,[173] her second studio album, One in a Million, became one of the most influential R&B albums of the decade.[29] Music critic Simon Reynolds cited "Are You That Somebody?" as "the most radical pop single" of 1998. Kelefah Sanneh of The New York Times wrote that rather than being the song's focal point, Aaliyah "knew how to disappear into the music, how to match her voice to the bass line", and consequently "helped change the way popular music sounds; the twitchy, beat-driven songs of Destiny's Child owe a clear debt to 'Are You That Somebody'." Sanneh asserted that by the time of her death in 2001, Aaliyah "had recorded some of the most innovative and influential pop songs of the last five years."[87] With sales of 8.1 million albums in the United States and an estimated 24 to 32 million albums worldwide,[174][175][176] Aaliyah earned the nicknames "Princess of R&B" and "Queen of Urban Pop",[177][178] as she "proved she was a muse in her own right".[179] Ernest Hardy of Rolling Stone dubbed her as the "undisputed queen of the midtempo come-on".[15] Japanese pop singer Hikaru Utada has said several times that "It was when I heard Aaliyah's Age Ain't Nothing but a Number that I got hooked on R&B.", after which Utada released her debut album First Love with heavy R&B influences.[180]
Aaliyah was honored at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards by Janet Jackson, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Ginuwine and her brother, Rashad, who all paid tribute to her.[181] In the same year, the United States Social Security Administration ranked the name Aaliyah one of the 100 most popular names for newborn girls.[182] Aaliyah was ranked as one of "The Top 40 Women of the Video Era" in VH1's 2003 The Greatest series.[183][184] She was also ranked at number 18 on BET's "Top 25 Dancers of All Time".[185] Aaliyah appeared on both 2000 and 2001 list of Maxim Hot 100 in position 41 and the latter at 14.[186][187] In memory of Aaliyah, the Entertainment Industry Foundation created the Aaliyah Memorial Fund to donate money raised to charities she supported.[188][189] In December 2009, Billboard magazine ranked Aaliyah at number 70 on its Top Artists of the Decade,[190] while her eponymous album was ranked at number 181 on the magazine's Top 200 Albums of the Decade.[191] She is listed by Billboard as the tenth most successful female R&B artist of the past 25 years, and 27th most successful R&B artist overall.[22] In 2012, VH1 ranked her number 48 in "VH1's Greatest Women in Music".[192]
Aaliyah's work has influenced numerous artists including Adele,[193] Ciara,[194] Beyoncé Knowles,[195] Monica,[196] Chris Brown,[166] Rihanna,[197] Azealia Banks, Sevyn Streeter,[198] Keyshia Cole,[199] J. Cole,[200] Kelly Rowland,[201] Zendaya,[202] Rita Ora,[203] The xx, Omarion,[204] Canadian R&B singer Keshia Chanté who was said to play as her in her pending biopic back in 2008, complimented the singer's futuristic style in music and fashion.[205] Keshia Chanté backed out of the biopic after speaking to Diane Haughton, but has expressed a willingness to do the project if "the right production comes along and the family's behind it". Keisha also mentioned that Aaliyah had been part of her life "since I was 6."[206] R&B singer and friend Brandy said about the late singer "She came out before Monica and I did, she was our inspiration. At the time, record companies did not believe in kid acts and it was just inspiring to see someone that was winning and winning being themselves. When I met her I embraced her, I was so happy to meet her."[207] Rapper Drake said that the singer has had the biggest influence on his career. He also has a tattoo of the singer behind his back.[208] Solange Knowles remarked on the tenth anniversary of her death that she idolized Aaliyah and proclaimed that she would never be forgotten.[209]
In 2012, British singer-songwriter Katy B released the song Aaliyah as a tribute to Aaliyah's legacy and lasting impression on R&B music.[210] The song first appeared on Katy B's Danger EP and featured Jessie Ware on guest vocals.
There has been continuing belief that Aaliyah would have achieved greater career success had it not been for her death. Emil Wilbekin mentioned the deaths of The Notorious B.I.G and Tupac Shakur in conjunction with hers and added: "Her just-released third album and scheduled role in a sequel to The Matrix could have made her another Janet Jackson or Whitney Houston".[211] Director of Queen of the Damned Michael Rymer said of Aaliyah, "God, that girl could have gone so far" and spoke of her having "such a clarity about what she wanted. Nothing was gonna step in her way. No ego, no nervousness, no manipulation. There was nothing to stop her."[212]
On July 18, 2014, it was announced that Alexandra Shipp replaced Zendaya for the role of Aaliyah for the Lifetime TV biopic movie Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, which premiered on November 15, 2014.[213][214] Zendaya drew criticism because she is biracial while Aaliyah was African-American.[215] She referred to Aaliyah as "one of her biggest inspirations" and insisted that while she could not "please everybody", she could "work really hard and just continue to show [Aaliyah's] legacy. That's all I'm focused on is really, really portraying her in the best light possible. That's all it's about."[216] She explained her decision to drop out of the film in three videos she posted on Instagram. "The reason why I chose not to do the Aaliyah movie had nothing to do with the haters or people telling me that I couldn't do it, I wasn't talented enough, or I wasn't black enough. It had absolutely nothing to do with that."[217] Aaliyah's family has been vocal in their disapproving of the film. Her cousin Jomo Hankerson stated the family would prefer a "major studio release along the lines" of What's Love Got to Do with It, the biopic loosely based on the life of Tina Turner. Aaliyah's family has consulted a lawyer to stop Lifetime from using "any of the music, or any of the photographs and videos" they own and Jomo Hankerson claimed the TV network "didn't reach out."[215] On August 9, 2014, it was announced that Chattrisse Dolabaille and Izaak Smith had been cast as Aaliyah's collaborators Missy Elliott and Timbaland.[218] Dolabaille received criticism for her appearance in comparison with that of Missy Elliot. The Urban Daily wrote: "The hushed frustrations around the industry are mainly pertaining to the fact that the actress is nothing like Missy Elliott. She is much lighter, she is much smaller and she doesn't seem to have any Hip Hop or R&B background. Some feel that the biopic creators didn't look hard enough for someone more appropriate to play Missy."[219]
A feature film, scheduled for release in theaters in 2015, was reported in August 2014 to star B. Simone and have involvement from Aaliyah's uncle Barry Hankerson. The film is stated to feature unreleased music by the late singer.[56]

Waarom staat xPressie eigenlijk apart in de lijst?

Als Toto met zijn eigen profiel punten wilt scoren moet hij maar als Toto antwoorden.

Hij die het maakt, wil het niet hebben. Hij die het koopt, zal het niet gebruiken. Hij die het gebruikt, heeft er geen weet van. Over wat hebben we het hier?

Ik heb xpressie er in gezet, ik wist niet dat dat kloon was, als het een bekende kloon is moet die persoon zelf maar af en toe die lijst updaten vind ik.
