Damon Dash: "Conversations With Aaliyah"

So I happened to come across this video of Damon Dash talking about the times he shared with Aaliyah, and also where most of his influences came from. I really admire his blunt, honesty! Lol! I guess what you see is what you get with him. Courtesy to Hip Hop Motivation Corporation for sharing this with us. Enjoy guys! :o)

The Aaliyah Archives News: Damon Dash On Missing Aaliyah

  

After 13 years since Aaliyah has passed away, Damon Dash who was dating Aaliyah at the time, expressed his undenying love and feelings for her via his Instagram page. He left a caption saying...

Damon Dash: "Nothing better then laughing with your chick #trulove #misshereveryday #thebestthateverdidit."

I personally don't see this as a surprise since it is always hard losing someone who you care and love for dearly. Judging by the hash tags it is obvious to see. When you truly love someone, you never really get over them, you just learn how to live without them. We as fans will always remember where we were when we first heard the news on Aaliyah's death. But imagine what all of her close friends and family felt? In Damon Dash's case, his love was more than just a friend and beyond a family member. All I can say is that any picture I have ever seen with both of them together, Aaliyah was at her most happiest, always smiling and laughing without a care in the world.

Aaliyah Dana Haughton 1979 – 2001: Vibe Magazine November 2001

Two Rare Aaliyah Photos: Shared by Damon Dash's Nephew

Aaliyah sitting next to Stacey Dash on the left.

Miami 2001 Damon's son Boogie and his Nephew with Aaliyah.

Hey guys! I'm back with some more treats for you! Here are some rare photos that Damon's Nephew shared with all the Aaliyah fans out there! :o) Now the bottom photo got me a little curious, but since this was shot in Miami, Dame's Nephew recalled that he flew over to see Babygirl shoot this scene, along with the scene where she was in the pool. The next morning, Dame's Nephew headed back to New York, where Aaliyah was also traveling but to the Bahamas, where she was obviously going to shoot the scenes from the beach and the ones on the boat.

Makes me sad seeing these pics, because Aaliyah always talked about wanting to have kids some day, and no doubt she would of been a great Mother. Having said that, you can see how happy everyone is, united as a family. When you have that foundation of LOVE in a home, that's all you'll ever need to create a strong bond, whether it be with your family, friends or lover. Anyhoo, enjoy these rare gems everyone! :o)
