We begin today's episode by going track-by-track through the latter half of Aaliyah's self-titled album and thank the lawd for that because the rest of this episode is a tough one - we have come to August 25, 2001; the day Aaliyah died. Many listeners requested a deep dive on this rather than an overview, so here we go. I discuss her final days, relationship with Dame Dash, the background on how and why the plane ended up crashing, conspiracy theories, reactions from fans/friends/celebrities, the other people who were on the plane, her funeral, and so much more. This is one of my most heavily researched and time consuming episodes and I hope you feel I handled this difficult topic well.
