Now this is where things get good!!! Aaliyah's second album, One In A Million, changed music forever when she took a risk on a new writing/producing team, Missy Elliot & Timbaland. Aaliyah swiftly went from an artist that many people counted out to one of the most experimental and important players in not just the r&b scene, but the entire music industry. After being almost cast out of the business due to her illegal marriage to some loser, Aaliyah proved that not only was she here to stay, but that she could stand on her own two feet without a mentor telling her what to do every step of the way. This album is widely regarded as one of the best and most groundbreaking of the decade, so let's break it down and celebrate the innovative magic of Aaliyah's One In A Million.
