“Rock The Boat” made its world premiere on BET’s Access Granted at 8pm EST. This would be the last music video Aaliyah puts her work and heart into as well as the last time Aaliyah does a special for BET Networks.

BET producer Kevin Taylor said that even though putting together the show was tough, footage of Aaliyah joking with stylists Eric Foreman and Christopher Maldonado, who were also killed in the twin-engine plane crash, made it bittersweet. “They were completely hilarious, like sitcom funny,” Taylor said. “I’ve never been around a group of people who were funnier.”

There is apparently HOURS and hours of unreleased footage of Aaliyah during those days but much of it was compiled and chopped down to a half hour mini documentary of this music video. So, what gives BET? Hype Williams? WHAT GIVES Blackground? Can we get some more rare footage? We ain't asking for ALL of it (not yet anyway).

Letra

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion (To rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby, don't tip the boat over (Rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby (Rock the boat)

Ever since our voyage of love began Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind And your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea There's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me

Our love is like a ship on the ocean We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion So I'd like to know where, you got the notion Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion, don't rock the boat baby (Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over (Rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby (Rock the boat)

Up to now we sailed through every storm And I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm Oh, I need to have the strength that flows from you Don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through (Our love is like a ship on the ocean)

We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion So I'd like to know where, you got the notion Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion So I'd like to know where, you got the notion Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion (To rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby (Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over (Rock the boat), don't rock the boat, baby (Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over

ooh-ooh (Rock the boat) rock on with you, baby (Rock the boat) rock on with you, baby (Rock the boat) rock on with you, baby (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat) (Rock the boat)

(Gifted) BOOK REVIEW: Monstrous Devices by Damien Love 🤖 . I’ve been in a huge reading slump this past month but I’ve finally come out of it and finished Monstrous Devices, a middle grade adventure centred around a boy and his grandfather as they go on a trip around Europe fighting off bad guys and robots. 💪🏻 . I thought this was a fun read. It’s very different from what I usually read, being the first middle grade book I’ve read in a while and the first one about robots, ever! So it took getting used to, but you’re very much eased into the story. The pacing did seem a little off in the middle, I felt it took a bit too long for the reader to find out what the story was *really* about. I should add that I did not know this was the first in a series. 😅 If I had, I probably would have had different expectations. I am very excited to read the next book, however, because I feel like this has the potential to be quite a dark middle-grade story which I’m totally in favour of. 🙌🏻 . Thank you to @rocktheboatnews for sending me a review copy! 🥰 . . . #MonstrousDevices #Damienlove #Rocktheboat #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #mgbooks #bookcover #bookcoverart #bookstagram #booklover #JohannasReviews #bookreview #childrensfiction #beautifulbooks #kidlit #currentread #amreading #readingslump https://www.instagram.com/p/CALEW5TglB5/?igshid=1093jcuzfmu8b
