The way they just google a random Aaliyah image and plop it on a shirt with some tacky font. :damselindistress:

Second shirt wouldn?t be as bad if it were on someone thin and beautiful

Maybe because these are old pictures?

The twentieth anniversary of Aaliyah's death is approaching in a few years. These aren't exactly fresh from the camera roll
Do you think this is a cute design?

I think they're meant to have that throwback look/design. I like them.

The real question is whos managing her merchandise on a wider scale and her content post death? Rashad is too depressed and Barry is the devil incarnate.

Too depressed? Umm Rashad made the MAC thing happen. And also the Aaliyah app.

Yeah but Rashad can't do it by himself because I can tell he is still grieving. I feel it.

Mad funny you brought this up b/c I always thought all the Li merch looked cheap af too... the Self Titled era had sooo many dope/beautiful photo shoots and even promo to not execute good shirts... I thought about doing some clean, dope black long sleeves shirts using the 2001 promo ads with the Japanese art
