@Mr.PoztMayne

Man hands down this was the jam!!! A New Jack Swing Classic!!!! I have been looking for the album version 4 tha longest. As I listen to the names he calls out smdh🤬😷🤮this is ridiculous "lil cute Aliyah got it" @ 11 freaking years old man what tha heck man. How did this slide through the cracks. The enemy lulls you to sleep with nice uptempo groovy music while a sexual predator moves and grooves right in the mix unnoticed. Lord have mercy Real Parents Stand up and Raise your kids!!!!!

@SpongeB00b_is_a_savage

My jaw dropped when he said “Little cute Aaliyah!s got it” 🤢🤢🤢

@ohsomarvalus4712

Sad!! I was bout that same age being prayed on innocently as I listened to his songs feeling like it was a good thing smh with the abuser assisting..thank God for His mercy n grace over my life!!! These men be sick..I could write a book God knows!

@GEM99Show

3:35 Oh WOW, That part is really chilling to hear, knowing what he did to those girls…

@evilsaf

please he’s an amazing artist. one thing ain’t got nothing to do with the other

@user-ooop

​@Michael I never understood why his fans were so offended. Just cause his music was good doesn't mean he is. Just cause you like his genius music doesn't make you bad, but protecting him does.

@yaldaboth1889

"Y'ALL KILLING ME WITH THIS SHIT!!!"

@RizzaThaDon

11 about to be 12 but proceed please. I've known this song word for word since I was 6 in 1999. And I always wonder why aaliyah but then I turned about 9 and i seen the tape. It explained everything
