It's not even just stans
Like everytime Billboard or Rolling Stone etc in the media does like
top R&B artist of the 90s or whatever, Aaliyah is always top 10
while Brandy is like in the 20s somewhere
and why does she have a biopic before Brandy, Mary, Usher, DC etc?
she was literally out between 93-01 that's 8 years.
I'm seriously not trying to hate, or downplay her greatness and legacy
but how can no one see how excessive her praise is?

But doesn't that speak more to Aaliyah's musical influence and impact?  You just got done saying in a previous post that other artists don't get this much fanfare posthumous, but apparently, she did something during her time living that still has her presence felt today.

Ray, she died at 22.  She was young and beautiful.  That plays a huge part in the strength of her memory.  We never got to see her age, make too many mistakes, or live in a social media world that would have humanized her.  Aaliyah died in an era where mystique existed, and stars feeling like Gods was still a thing.  We didn't go to TMZ or TheShadeRoom to get the news of her death.  We heard it on the radio or by word of mouth.  It was just a different time.  So, that's still the realm she resides in whether you like it or not. 

I think what you're in denial about is her impact on the culture.  Whether it's a vocal, production, or outfit, we still reference Aaliyah when we see and hear it in other artists.  Racking your brain over sales, stats & years in is apparently irrelevant, because there's no way you can prove she still wouldn't place high on these lists had she not died.

You can't debate her impact, because Aaliyah will win every time.

I never debated her impact though that's the thing
but then again I just wonder as we all do and no one has the answer
would ppl still be referencing her if she were alive to the level that they are?
It's just all kind of crazy to me, seems like the shock of what happened to her
caused her to be way more highly regarded, impactful etc
than her work itself
