just a slight update...we won that item mentioned...someone tried sniping last minute, and the prices did plateau after i sent out that message, but we got it. the new rolling pool for the funds right now is $700..there is supposedly more items dropping soon, so we're being picky on what to spend it on (and there are random things that look enticing but may be just file settings for a mixer instead of actual music)...and given that it's a data8 tape, it would take time to get the tape reader and the outdated software for us to extract all the music from it, so the digitizing process may take a few months

apparently, i'm being designated as the middleman to watch over the funds because there's a higher trust factor with me than the later arrivals, and I'm pretty much in tune with what most of the fanbase is thinking about outside of a few outliers...but yeah let me know who else would like to be a part of the collective fund via DM on discord/reddit (double check usernames and all that), thanks

there's veterans in here. full post is here if you want to read the whole thing https://www.reddit.com/r/aaliyah/comments/1ir8v7h/raaliyah_town_meeting/

Premise

Given that we know there are original intended versions of Aaliyah songs and demos meant for her that are found and sold on various platforms, WE as a collective fanbase need to be smart and team up and not bid against each other in the common goal of having the OG versions digitized properly to share and enjoy, not hoard.

This needs a lot of TRUST and the mods (on both reddit and discord) are willing to step forward and round people up who have the same goal of obtaining such rarities to ultimately rip in the highest quality and share the OG songs as she intended to share with the world that we have yet to hear

Some fans who win auctions sometimes wont let their cassette or DAT tape out of their sight or have the proper equipment to rip it, so they unintentionally gatekeep the rest of the unreleased OG songs from the rest of the fanbase due to them being so possessive of their collection, for the tape to ultimately break or succumb to sun or water damage. Physical recordings can be purchased by fans outside of the jurisdiction of the record label's control, but we have to organize into some type of #AaliyahFund to streamline the purchases to TRUSTWORTHY, VOUCHED people who can handle the funds and rip it professionally in the highest quality available

there is a difference between the megafans who blog a lot but wont put up funds for outside of 'gathering attention', which would drive up the price and 'hope for things to happen' and the megafans who don't say anything but actually deliver on the action for when actually putting up funds to secure items and share...due to this asymmetry in values and actions, we have to sift thru everyone just to check who is who, to establish this rolling admission of people who would put down funds for the rare OG purchases for the sake of sharing.

And not all items have music, some are just file settings for pre-sets of studio workstations, and can come in weird formats like data8 and giant floppy disks, which is different and trickier to extract than DAT tapes and cassettes, etc

Call to Action

We're setting up the Aaliyah Fund (already 2.5k contributed, small consisting of 6-7 people, but we literally started 3 days ago) to obtain OG songs the way she intended, for her OG work to be heard and released. If you have intentions of joining our efforts to preserve the various OG songs and rare media of her legacy, please DM me on reddit u/jensyao or better yet the Aaliyah discord https://discord.gg/nyUVcyVq3v because wishlist things do get expensive and the collective budget would overcome more paywall obstacles.

https://www.instagram.com/biterrormusic/

We are entrusting this audio archivist to work on such analog formats to rip and digitize her OG works. Blogging may help, but it's more like getting everyone on the same page (to not bid against each other) so to streamline and have grails be secured without vaulters and hoarders getting in the way of digitizing and sharing for the common good, to preserve more of Aaliyah's legacy in OG songs that still have to be enjoyed by the masses.

We're trying to have more people join and contribute for the fund, and most of Aaliyah's fanbase is kind, welcoming, and mature for this type of collective to happen. It's been 24 years and the fanbase has been the Aaliyah estate's watchdogs for the majority of it, from pushing Rashad on social media to do more of Aaliyah's NIL with collaborations to calling out bad remixed features from Blackground.

we have most of the platforms monitored but if you happen to be aware of rare Aaliyah to be purchased or happen to have them in your possession, please let us know. The hitlist is just Aaliyah for now, but there can be Static Major and other tangential artists who worked with her that isn't big enough to sustain their own fundraising fanbase to obtain rarities

some signal boost would help but we are entirely a separate organization from past Aaliyah efforts, like Aaliyah Archives and such, but you are still free to join. we screen our people to limit beefs and 'betrayals' in any way

TL;DR: The mods of the Aaliyah reddit and discord are trying to build a collective in order to organize and raise funds to obtain and digitize rare Aaliyah OG media that individuals would have a harder time paying for expensive rarities and ripping into digital from obscure analog formats. We kinda have to fly under the radar because it's separate from Blackground's agenda

Aaliyah - Unstoppable Tracklisting (2023), releasing August 20th

Apparently, someone from an IP address posted the Standard version of the album, with producer and writer credits, with the length, so I think that they are legit

Most people don't know who wrote or produced tracks, only the length...and the audacity to say Aaliyah has covers of Mariah Carey from the 90s and more legit titles of unreleased tracks makes me think this is someone on the blackground team

https://twitter.com/butterflyrares/status/1393651244292526082

usually, wikipedia trolls make a throwaway username and then get banned but this one has merit, even though it's uncited and no major outlets even reported that the release date is AUGUST 20th of THIS YEAR, which is 22 years after her death, poetic, because she lived 22 years

thoughts:

...good thing we dodged all the snap music/autotune/melancholy drake & weeknd era...would have been a disaster if this was released in 2014 with those influences and forced duets....

we are slowly going back to 'real singing' with the likes of FLO and streeter, etc being stans and taking direct influence from Aaliyah for her music to make a comeback in the right era

they removed Future off Time!....good! didn't need that mumble

Janet Jackson on Girlfriends! WOW! she always wanted to do a song with her

Round and Round is no longer with Ne-Yo

Sade! Same birthday as Aaliyah!

no TI on never do but the OG version

OG versions of songs...wow....I hope this is real....

i wanted to hear 'My Mind' so badly. it was a snippet even after all these years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1pjVbQv0vs

but the features tho: lil kim, sade, janet, like wow

no t-pain, no future, no TI, not drake's pet project...

still need to hear the OG version of Enough Said, and whatever the OG title is

Timbaland, Missy, Static, OG songs, not remixes

It's releasing august 20th with no promotions, get on it!!!

This is really going to be her last album. wow

there might be a compilation after this, and a few leftover tracks that didnt make the cut

once the album comes out, there may be leftover leaks

surprised they didnt include 'la la la' or 'surprise' or 'no days go by'...but apparently, La La La is most likely listed here as No Place I'd Rather Be. Surprise is just Round N Round

Those better be on the next 25th Anniversary compilation or something...
