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?”

nice that tim is giving drake shade despite the two of them having worked together

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.

i haven't noticed this... who are some of the non-usuals who started loving aaliyah 4 weeks ago?
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 17:04 (eleven years ago) link
all the quotes from the dude in yeasayer are a pretty good example
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 18 September 2012 17:06 (eleven years ago) link
i wasn't even thinking famous types just random whoevers tweeting and whatnot but i guess the famous types apply too
― fauxmarc, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 17:17 (eleven years ago) link
right, i think the idea is that that guy is representative of a certain group (altho prob a bit douchier)
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 18 September 2012 17:22 (eleven years ago) link
haha, I'm kind of trying to tone down my "usual"-ness for ~personal~ reasons. red album desktop wallpaper: gone.

keep in mind tho, that the anniversary of her death was a couple weeks ago, so that might have some to do with the love-in.

so I'm near ready to pull the trigger on getting "Ultimate Aaliyah," a comp released in the UK. It seems like it has everything you need, cept "Age Ain't Nuthin' But a number," which I would understand if there was a desire to not emphasize. This copy is $35, 2 discs, and no DVD, which I'm not interested in.
Is this what I should go for if I want her shit in one place? That "I care for you" thing is cheaper, but it doesn't have "we need a resolution" or "rock the boat."
I've never bought a CD produced for the Euro market: are there still issues w/ regional coding?
and in case anyone sez "schmuck, you can d/l any song you want": I want to have a physical representation for songs I hold in such high esteem.
― veronica moser, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 16:12 (ten years ago) link
CDs have never been region coded
― Number None, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 16:19 (ten years ago) link
For $35 you could buy used or maybe even new copies of all three of her studio albums. That would seem the better investment to me. The only thing you'd be missing then is some of the soundtrack contributions, which that compilation does collect nicely, but are easy enough to download at a buck a pop. Feels like at that price point you really could legally own almost her entire discography, not just a selective two disc sampler.
― Evan R, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 16:44 (ten years ago) link
just buy the albums tbh

i don't really rate the first album, is that bad?
― flopson, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 19:37 (ten years ago) link
she has 3 albums, buy them
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 29 January 2014 19:38 (ten years ago) link
what's essential but not on the albums, other than "are you that somebody" ?
― flopson, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 19:39 (ten years ago) link
"don't know what to tell ya", "come back in one piece", "miss you"
