Is Cassie the new Aaliyah?

It appears she’s trying to be.

This is Cassie’s new video for her new single “Official Girl” featuring (who else?) Lil Wayne.

The elements for Cassie becoming a fully-fledged Aaliyah clone are all there: long black hair (covering one eye), bikini tops and baggy pants, soft, lilting voice, and choreographed dance moves.

On the anniversary of Aaliyah’s tragic death (August 25, 2001), we want to know if you think the folks at Cassie’s record label are aiming for Cassie to channel the late, great singer/actress. Is this swagger jacking at its best?
