Drake Meets Aaliyah, Do You Find These Pictures Disrespectful?

Chozen — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 03:14:25 +0000

I knew Drake was always a big fan of the late great Aaliyah ever since the Unforgettable collaboration with Young Jeezy but this could be construed as being a little on the creepy side. Allot of Aaliyah fans find the photos to be out right disrespectful, I'm a huge of Aaliyah and though It's not personally disrespectful to me it's a little weird to see these photos. Very life like, I'll say that much....Check em out. When it was announced Drake would be overseeing a new, posthumous Aaliyah album, some offended critics and artists reacted harshly, but others relished in the excitement of a new Aaliyah album. Though the project has received a very mixed response, Drake and Aaliyah's uncle Barry Hankerson are determined to see it through. Hankerson, the CEO of Blackground Records, recently explained the thought process behind the controversial album.

"Due to circumstances, we can't control the emotional toll of healing of her legacy like others," Hankerson said. "The intent is not to disrespect the family, nor do Blackground Records want to shed any bad light around Aaliyah's legacy. We'd like to go in a different direction with the 16 tracks and have been more than open to work with past collaborators. So, Damon Dash--her ex fiance--is more than willing to assist Drake and Noah in producing the album."

What's your thoughts on this whole Aaliyah situation?

Aaliyah – Enough Said (feat. Drake)

New music from Aaliyah, yes thee Aaliyah entitled "Enough Said" featuring Drake. Word has it that Drake will be executive producing the late Aaliyah's new album as well has using her vocals on another project as he did with Unforgettable featuring Young Jeezy. Timbaland who was very close with Aaliyah and very much responsible for her allot of her success, says he has no problem with Drizzy producing the album though an Aaliyah album shouldn't be made without himself and Missy Elliot, who's another close friend. Says Timbaland:

"I know they trying to drop some Aaliyah records, but if he do it, it should be with me and Missy. The proper way for him to do that would be for me, him and Missy to be all on the record. But to put it on his record, would just not be right."

I have to say, I agree with Tim on this one, it's only right. What are y'all thoughts, should a Drake x Aaliyah collaboration even be a conversation let along an actual project?
