It’s been missing from the digital sphere since her label, Blackground Records, went under the radar in 2009 after the label’s last release, Timbaland Presents Shock Value II. Reasons for why this is so have ranged from the label head, Barry Hankerson, trying to protect his niece’s legacy all the way to him just wanting the biggest bite for his platinum-selling roster of albums.

The discography of American rapper, singer, record producer and songwriter Missy Elliott consists of six studio albums, three compilation albums, seventy-four. May 11, 2001 - Midway through Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott's last album, 1999's Da Real. Used the opportunity of performing with a female rapper to unleash a torrent of bile. While rock has always been full of risible macho posturing.

Either way, we want to hear some of these amazing albums in the vault — now! Take a look below at Aaliyah and 15 other albums Blackground Records is holding hostage, including majority of Baby Girl’s discography and albums from Timbaland, JoJo, Tank, Toni Braxton, and more: Aaliyah, One in a Million (1996). Blackground / Atlantic Records You can’t even discuss ’90s R&B without mentioning this album, yet it’s nowhere to be found on any streaming platforms or as physical copies. One In a Million was where Aaliyah really formed a sound for herself, with props to Timbaland and Missy Elliott for mixing in that futuristic vibe with the mid-90s hip-hop soul that already existed on the other half of the project.

20+ years later and the album’s title still rings true. Timbaland & Magoo, Welcome to Our World (1997).

Blackground / Atlantic Records With the success of One in a Million during the 96-97 year, everyone wanted that Timbaland sound. Timbo always knew he had something unique, so most of the production either stayed in-house — Aaliyah, Missy, Ginuwine, R&B trio Playa — or ended up on his own projects, like his debut joint album alongside Magoo. From front to back, the album goes through the gamut of Timbaland’s massive ear for eclectic sounds.

The fam-only lineup of features help to bring the tracks together, but the beats are where the soul of these records are. Timbaland, Tim’s Bio: Life from da Bassment (1998). Blackground / Atlantic Records Timbaland’s clout only got bigger as the year went on. By 1998, he had given Aaliyah her biggest record at that time, the game-changing summer smash “Are You That Somebody?,” and was setting Jay-Z up with the “Jigga What, Jigga Who (Originator 99)” instrumental that would go on to create a long-lasting producer/rapper relationship for years on after.

His official debut album, Tim’s Bio: Life from da Bassment, didn’t exactly prove he was a dope MC in the vain of his partner in rhyme Missy Elliott, but it really let us know that this guy knows production like his life depended on it. Innovation like this didn’t exist in music before Timbaland, and hasn’t in the same way since. Various Artists, Romeo Must Die: The Album (2000). Blackground / Virgin Records / Warner Bros. 2000 was the year that Aaliyah really started flexing her power as a triple threat, or as she told MTV Diary in 2001, a “full-on entertainer.” A number one record, making a Hollywood debut with Romeo Must Die, and filming the next one ( Queen of the Damned) by summer’s end was all in a year’s work. Similar to the way Kendrick Lamar spearheaded the Black Panther soundtrack to perfection earlier this year, Aaliyah and Timbaland did the same for the Romeo Must Die album.

The featured artists, including Destiny’s Child, Lil Mo, DMX and Joe, were all selected by Baby Girl, and Timb gave them his midas touch on the production end to create a platinum-selling project. “Rose In A Concrete Word” is still one of Joe’s smoothest deep cuts. Tank, Force of Nature (2001).

Pcsx2 bios iso zone. Blackground / Virgin Records (U.K.) Tank’s debut came after years of playing the role of background singer to Ginuwine and Aaliyah while on tour, and with this record he proved that he had what it took to stand center stage. While he never exactly broke out during this era where Usher and R. Kelly were dominating the R&B male category, he always had a crazy pen game that kept him busy behind the scenes.
