"rock the boat" has really grown on me over the years in terms of the aaliyah discography -- it's got to be one of the most sensual songs ever -- i can't help but kind of slowly sway when i listen to it -- it's still hard to listen to tho bcuz of it's connection to her death

i def copped the eve album when i was 11

The music and rhythm of "Rock The Boat" are also unexpectedly mournful. I've always heard this as a slightly anachronistic take on AIDS, almost an early nineties take on sensuality touched by death.

Man, I don't dislike any of these.

The thing I've always found really cool about "Rock the Boat" (from a nerding out about production standpoint) is how the main lines are all sung by a chorus of Aaliyahs, which our main Aaliyah just darting in to adlib some commentary on occasion.

From a non-nerd point, it's also great because it sounds like "Juicy Fruit", except way more relaxed.

h to the izzo really has some of jay's best one-liners

wasn't born hustlas, i was birthin em

he who does not feel me, is not real to me

label owners hate me, i'm raisin the status quo up

pay us like you owe us for all of the years that you ho'd us

i've seen hoop dreams deflate, like a real fiend's weight

true fiend's weight, i guess it is

can't believe you made that list and left out

"I'm overcharging niggas for what they did to the Cold Crush"

or

"He who does not feel me is not real to me/ Therefore doesn't exist/ So poof/ Vamoose, son of a bitch"

oh wait you did have part of the second

but "Poof" etc. is the most important part of that

well i said one liners

Also "I was hurtin' em in the home of the Terrapins"

"Let Me Blow Ya Mind" is the only song that's ehhhh.

voted "rock the boat" because it is one of my favourite songs off one of my favourite albums ever

dayum this is tough

1) rock the boat
2) get ur freak on
3) one more time
4) clint eastwood
5) we need a resolution
6) i'm a slave 4 u

seriously though the rest are all good too
