A Quote by SZA

I love the comparison with Aaliyah and Timbaland, because Aaliyah is a legend, and there is a large cinematic feel to Timbaland's sound, but what I do is different.

I remember the day I first heard what Timbaland and Aaliyah did - that intersection of her pretty voice and his weird, resonant production. I remember where I was and what I was doing. It was a major situation. We're trying to continue that legacy.

I have a lot of friends who are in love the '90s. Girls, boys. '90s music? That's Tupac. That's Biggie. That's TLC. That's Aaliyah. I still listen to Aaliyah. I still listen to Tupac and Biggie. There's people who are really heavy on that culture.

Shameik Moore

When I was growing up, I saw the Aaliyah shirts, the DMX shirts, or the collab shirts with DMX and Aaliyah when they had a single together. Those were the dope collage shirts with their faces all over it. They were doing cool things like that.

Working with Timbaland, you know it's not gonna sound like anything else out there today. The sound is very next-level.

Tink

I love Aaliyah.

The-Dream

I love TLC and Aaliyah and all those early-millennial R&B singers.

Olly Alexander

My mom and dad have two very different tastes in music, so they were playing everything from Prince to the Beatles to Aaliyah.

Lexi Underwood

I've never worked hands-on with a producer. I've been on my own writing, just taking beats and doing what I have to do. I've been on my own. To have Timbaland invite me in and say that 'I want to work with you' is amazing. He's a legend.

Tink

I was in 'Fiesta,' but only because Aaliyah said she wanted me to do it that way.

Damon Dash

I definitely want to play someone who's inspired me. I would love to play Aaliyah; it would be personal because I love her so much.

Keke Palmer

I think it's hard for Aaliyah to be duplicated, because she had her own lane.

Missy Elliott

I grew up listening to a lot of different types of music, and R&B in particular was something that I loved - Aaliyah, Usher, Alicia Keys, TLC.

Yuna

When I first met Aaliyah - it time for the world to hear this, I'm gonna give a little secret - I was in love with her.

Timbaland

A lot of producers get famous because they decide to be superstars for their own reasons, but I'm inspired by Timbaland and Pharrell and Swizz Beatz 'cause they're doing things that are so different. I like how they're introducing ideas I never would have thought of.

Diplo

Working with Timbaland, he gives me insight; he throws me different ways to approach the beat, and those extra tips go a long way. I know that he's worked with some of the greats, so it's just motivation. I feel inspired when we're in the booth together.

Tink

Aaliyah was in a class by herself.
