hmmm

Heard it, it's rubbish

no i like that song. just unsure about this album business

yeah, i highly doubt the album will be good. "Steady Ground" is just cloying to me though

had never heard this before

had never heard this before two days ago

that jay remix was huge!

fucking terrible, son

fucking creep needs to leave aaliyah the fuck alone

^^^^^^^

wait, so what's the deal here? there's a trove of unreleased aaliyah shit and drake is gonna put it out with him rapping over it?

afaict nothing has been confirmed by her label/estate/etc. so who knows if anything's going to happen beyond this one song

in all honesty, as despicable is the thought of that would be, i might actually be ok with the idea of this if it means new aaliyah stuff. i wonder if she had any wishes wrt what she would want released if she died, or whether she even had control over that. given the nature of her death the former doesn't seem likely

yeah i definitely doubt someone that young dying that suddenly has any kind of documents stating what should be done w/ their uncompleted demos if they suddenly become valuable in the event of their death. but again SOMEBODY in her family and/or her label must have final say over these things. timbaland said he hasn't been contacted about the project but that it shouldn't be done w/o him and missy involved (which is obv true).

yeah you want to say leave it to those two which seems like the right-est thing to do but then again, what have those guys done in the last 5 years that would make you think it'd be any good. aaliyah's music is timeless and singular but also benefitted from some of gthe greatest ever (r kelly, missy, timbo) being on the tops of their games at roughly the same time. if the full tracks are just sitting there that's one thing but if not, who knows if her leftover material will get the complementary help it deserves?

amazing gif btw good work

someone said this on twitter but i'm curious as to what these vocals are from. why can't we hear the original iteration of whatever this song is

this sounds like it could've been okay but drake's verse is awful. i mean, it wouldn't be awful on a normal drake song but it feels completely out of place here

afaict nothing has been confirmed by her label/estate/etc. so who knows if anything's going to happen beyond this one song

PREACH

"swervin with Balotelli"

christ

why can't we hear the original iteration of whatever this song is

Because it is probably better than this garbage.

Treach & Slick Rick
& Drake

"What's up?"

My thoughts exactly.

fuck drake.. this is offensive IMO

YASSSSS

ahahahahahaha

this is pretty fucked up

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2012/08/aaliyah_enough_said_drake.php

Went from my nigga serving it by the tele
To venues in Manchester just swerving with Balotelli
The fuck are you trying to tell me?
Bothers me when you got to play therapist
That shit’s embarrassin’
They even bring up these niggas make the comparison
They just got to forgive me, this watch is a 150
Still ain’t got the time for a bitch to be acting iffy
Running through the city with niggas I’d give a kidney
Selling under 150 you niggas gotta be kidding
Is this even still a discussion?
Don’t you ever wake up disgusted?
Every million I gain an enemy or a cousin
And people’s feelings have changed ever since I became somethin’
Girls that becoming ladies
And my friends are having babies
And babies are dropping dead in my city
This shit is crazy
And I don’t know if speaking on it helps
This the shit that’s on my mind I just keep it to myself
You know

this is making me nauseous

is the SIDS rate really high in Toronto or something

This the shit that’s on my mind I just keep it to myself

apparently you don't!

eminem was the one who broke the news of aaliyah's passing to me. well he announced it during his set at the reading festival and asked for a moment of silence, the majority of the crowd didn't co-operate. He wasn't impressed.
