Drake calling himself the first person to rap and sing is kinda silly. Bobby Brown was rapping back the 80s not very well but he was rapping none the less. The first person to rap and sing well was Missy to my memory. People forget at times that Missy can sing her ass off. On a side note who is Drake to even be in the names mentioned to oversee this project? Timbaland seems like the obvious choice here. Maybe even R Kelly since he did most of her first album but most of that Aaliyah shit was Timbo.The only people who should be involved in this record are Missy and Tim. Between this and the whole "I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing" comment, I think success is getting to Drake's head.
Aaliyah has been dead for 11 years I am sure Timbo and Missy are more relevant. I love Aaliyah but its the truth of the matter.Drake should do it. He is relevant.
He couldn't have been that old Im a few years older than Drake and I was 17 when she died. He was probably closer to 12-13 when she died which only makes the matter worse. On a side note I heard a song produced by 40 with her vocals on it featuring Drake over the weekend. Its a solid song sounds like it came off her final album and does sound a lot more up to date but it does not sound like an Aaliyah song it sounds like Aaliyah on a Drake beatDrake was 15 when Aaliyah passed so that means he probably was about 12 or 13 when her music was out...
... and waking up with his underwear stuck to his leg.
BUT!!!! maybe he'll make her songs sound "UP TO DATE" because he's young. Missy and Tim would rehash some old 90's vibe.
I say let them all have the songs, release them all and the people pick the ones they want to buy.
When did Drake become a producer?
wait what? Ja rule didn't even debut until Summer of 99. What track are you talking about?what's annoying is that we can't recall drake exec producing anything(maybe other than his one shit) and now he's taking control of aaliyah's tracks. it's like if ja rule decided back in the late 90's to executive produce a posthumous 2pac record. i'm just saying who canceled? this is aaliyah, not the ugly member from destiny's child or some new slut on the come up.
