So I'm sitting here giving Bloc Party a spin while mindlessly surfing the net. The Prayer comes to an end and all of sudden I hear Timbaland's voice. Aaliyah's self-titled album from 2001 is now playing. Damn. Everytime I play this album I forget about how good it is, and how it was surely a sign of what was to come from the young starlet. Before Beyonce, before Ciara, there was Aaliyah, riding the beats, coming into her own, and taking chances. And who could forget this gem, a track in which Aaliyah flipped the script, put on the pants, and told you go head and put that thang in overdrive...
