We reminisce on 15 amazing biopics that told the stories of prominent figures in Black culture, and also 5 that were practically panned just in case future directors need an example of what not to do.

In today's "Hot Off The Wire" on the 'Russ Parr Morning Show,' Alfredas has the latest surrounding T.I. and Tiny, the R. Kelly trial and more!

Detroit native and gospel veteran Marvin Winans exclusively revealed to WDIV Local 4 news that he was planning to do a full gospel album with the late 'One In A Million' singer and actress Aaliyah before her untimely passing 20 year ago.

Damon Dash, former boyfriend of late R&B queen Aaliyah, recently revealed that she was supposed to be on another private jet sent by Lenny Kravitz on the day of her fatal plane crash 20 years ago, instead taken by her "Rock The Boat" music video director Hype Williams.

The everlasting legacy of Aaliyah shines on even 20 years after her tragic death thanks to a handful of factors, including rare photos like these 20 we found that captured her ethereal spirit both inside and out.

Diane Haughton, the normally-elusive mom of late R&B icon Aaliyah, has spoken out to criticize the author of an unauthorized book that chronicles Baby Girl's life and the circumstances surrounding her fatal plane crash.

Alfedas' latest "Hot Off The Wire" report includes news of a revealing testimony in R. Kelly's current sex abuse trial, Beyoncé and Jay-Z catching flack in the name of Basquait and Kanye West digging into his childhood for yet another 'DONDA' listening session.

On August 25th, 2001, Aaliyah and eight others lost their life in a tragic plane crash. She was only 22 years old.

Beginning August 20, Blackground and EMPIRE will re-release Aaliyah's catalog as well as albums from Timbaland & Magoo, Tank, Toni Braxton and more.

As the world continues to mourn the loss of R&B icon Aaliyah, the war between her family-ran estate, the relaunched record label spearheaded by her infamous uncle, an unauthorized book by a journalist/fan and those undying allegations of her illegal marriage to R. Kelly all threaten to put Baby Girl's legacy on halt.

Reactions have been nothing short of supportive for Normani and Cardi B's new song "Wild Side," which samples the 1996 hit "One In A Million" by Aaliyah, and it's even getting a co-sign from Baby Girl's former label head and notoriously quiet uncle, Barry Hankerson.

Hits like "We Need A Resolution," "More Than a Woman," "Rock The Boat" and "I Care 4 U" helped late music icon Aaliyah's 2001 third and final album achieve major success, but the genre-bending LP overall still stands as a complete R&B classic on the 20th anniversary of its release today (July 17).
