One of my favorite magazines, The Fader is doing a special tribute to singer Aaliyah who unfortunately passed away in 2001. The issue features interview with Missy Elliot, Timbaland, Mark Ronson, DJ Blaqstarr, Damon Dash, Andrew WK, Beth Ditto of the Gossip, Method Man, Kid Sister, and more. She left the world before her prime and who knows what she could of have accomplish. You can grab The Fader at your favorite local bookstore or you can download it now. The Fader even put out a special mix compiled by DJ the Honorable Caps. You can grab the mixes here.
Trivia: Trent Reznor of NIN was supposed to work with Aaliyah, but had a schedule conflict. Aaliyah was a big fan of Trent.

Aaliyah grew up down the street from me on Woodingham. I the ever protective big sister have always felt and still feel that my heart will never heal from her leaving me. Detroit misses Aaliyah more then the world could ever realize. With Kwame Kilpatrick disrespecting Detroit and the Big 3 in total chaos what does detroit have to look forward to one may ask. I have an answer. Maybe Detroit needs a dose of Coleman’s Young’s God-daughter. One that will bring Detroit backs it’s respect with hope, love encouragement and abouve all else. Financial backing. Detroit is down but not out. In the future always look back on this comment and realize that you had the NEW MAYORETTE of DETROIT on your site. Aaliyah I Love you and Dr. Veronica Earl will make up for lost time…..
