I don?t think so.  I don?t think he started stealing until 1999-2000 with Big Pimpin and the foreign sounds. 

Like I said, he was under a time crunch on Aaliyah?s third album.  He probably threw the songs together quickly just to make the deadline out of love for her, because he was beefin with Barry at the time.

Missy said she ain?t doin it. 

!!!!!!!!!!!

Missy was like I love you sis but your uncle ain?t paying up, just use I Care 4 U from them paid OIAM sessions and there?s my placement

i dont blame ha

So you mean even with how iconic One in A Million is, it never charted?

not on the hot 100, no

same for TOP OF THE WORLD (Brandy) -- it was airplay only.


Both songs charted on the AIRPLAY charts, tho. Top 10s (for R&B).
One in a Million went #1, even.

This was BEFORE airplay-only songs were allowed to chart, which began in late 1998.

It?s crazy b/c both of these songs were so huge in their appropriate years so it?s crazy they ain?t chart on the Hot 100

Both songs would have easily hit Top 10 (Hot 100) at the very least.
They were smashes.

But labels wanted album sales... I understand it.

It worked out well for both.

If the airplay-only rules never changed, TRY AGAIN would have never charted either...

[Rxxf]

And ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY is airplay-only too.

It only managed to chart on the Hot 100 (#21) because it was at its highest peak during the airplay-only change.

Bran lowkey had three songs in rotation during that time on Hot 97.

TOP OF THE WORLD, HAVE YOU EVER, and ANGEL...
Fall 1998 was lit as fuck.

Looking back...

Airplay-only songs weren't terrible.  "ANGEL" was another airplay-only song.
It really kept the focus on album sales >
And sis PUNCHED 3 million sold by Winter 1998.

It seems really lazy, IMO.

And I agree.
