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
― k3vin k., Monday, 6 August 2012 01:54 (eleven years ago) link
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?

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
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Monday, 6 August 2012 03:36 (eleven years ago) link
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

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.
― pandemic, Sunday, 26 August 2012 11:10 (eleven years ago) link
ha no it knocked me out & made me think about sampling & beatjacking a lot - what's really interesting is when it gets to a chord change & goes in a different direction that timbaland's version didn't, & was better for. weird to hear.

DMX sums up my feelings on Drake perfectly:
I don’t like anything about Drake. I don’t like his voice. I don’t like what he talks about. I don’t like his face. I don’t like the way he walks. Let me shut up. Imma stop right there.

omg dmx i hadn't seen that ilu ilu ilu yesssss
and also bless missy and tim for protecting babygirl's legacy:
Last night, Missy Elliott and Timbaland dropped off two, long-teased new singles at New York’s Hot 97. While there, they spoke with Angie Martinez, adding a new chapter to the winding, sad tale of the rumored new Aaliyah album. “I don’t even know if it’s an album,” Timbaland said. “I don’t think that’s in the works. I don’t know, I think it’s blown out of proportion. I haven’t spoken to Drake yet.” Missy says she hasn’t been contacted either, adding, “No call has been made to me… We’re talking about unfinished music. And we don’t know her reasoning for not putting those records out. Maybe she didn’t feel like they were her best work. We just don’t want to tap into that, just spiritually something else you know… very, very touchy. Unless her parents came in and conducted that.” Timbaland also called Drake’s Aaliyah portrait tattoo into question, saying, “To me, the tattoo part, did that man come in here and show y’all? Like lift up his shirt?”

is this drake thing the reason everyone aside from the usuals have been making it a point to assert that they love aaliyah lately? like it's reached semi-obnoxious mbv-revival levels
― fauxmarc, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 16:00 (eleven years ago) link
It's worse. It's not like most MBV newcomers/revivalists thought derisively of -- or ignored -- every other guitar-oriented band that was around during/after Loveless.
