New Aaliyah & Drake Single Sparks Controversy

The beautiful Aaliyah has inspired Drake and his unique sound in so many ways throughout the years. And Drake hasn't hidden his love for the late R&B diva. Songs, tattoos and Tweets  in her honor should be hint enough. People have gone as far as saying that Drake has profaned (disturbed, tainted) her music by making a new album and releasing this single. Old Aaliyah fans are saying that the album isn't right without Timbaland and Missy Elliott. But what people fail to realize is that Aaliyah had a falling out with Tim before she died. There wasn't really a sure case that she would make anymore music with him. People also never think if Aaliyah was still alive, would she have the same sound, same producers or even be a singer. Another argument is that Drake is an avid fan of Aaliyah. When you see Drake & Nicki Minaj fans cover their music and make photos of the two, thats our way of interpreting our fave's art in our own way. What better way to show his favorite PERSON how much he really, truly loves her than putting all the unused music and energy into a new album? No one wants to see Drake make this album because they don't like Drake. Chris Brown can make a Michael Jackson album and it sends fans through the roof in happiness. But Drake can't even make a song for Aaliyah without being called obsessed. Another thing is that people who have actually worked with Aaliyah have tried to make albums for her but her family has made them stop, but the fact that Drake is making one with no problems, shows that at least her family has approved. Drake has worked with Timbaland and that's getting close enough to Aaliyah. I think Drake would have some pointers on how to make this album just like Aaliyah never left this earth. It's a lot of shade being thrown around for someone who's just trying to make good music. If Eminem can make a Tupac album, Drake can make an Aaliyah album.

Omg. I cried as soon as I heard this song. It's so beautiful. Aaliyah sounds amazing. Drake sounded great. I really need Drake do be on a few more songs on this upcoming album. I was blown away, honestly. "Enough Said" is MORE than a good title. This song is beyond beautiful. Check out the ART below...

Drake Working On Major Aaliyah Projects

There's been word that Drake is going to Executive Produce a posthumous Aaliyah album and debut a new track featuring the late singer during his nearing OVO Fest on August 5. Vibe magazine reported earlier today a statement Drake made while being interviewed by infamous UK reporter, Tim Westwood, “I have some great Aaliyah news coming soon. Just some special things. Just gave you that, just a little. Because I said, I’m with Westwood, so I can’t not. But great things, great things for music, period.” It's been pretty obvious that a Drake and Aaliyah project would be nearing. Earlier this year he unveiled his portrait of Aaliyah on his back to show his undying affection for her. I can't wait to see and hear this new track and have the opportunity to buy her new album. It's really sweet of Drake to try to bring her music back...

Tweeted Topics: Drake's Tattoos

I haven't been one of the biggest supporters of Drake's latest (they're not recent anymore) adventures as the young millionaire that he is....his tattoos. Some would render the opinion that it's jealousy. Others would say that it's because I'm not TRUELY #TeamDrizzy. Before anyone gets ahead of themselves, I wouldn't want someone to TATTOO my face on them and two, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't a real fan. But on to the topic...I've always known Drake longed for Aaliyah (1979-2001) and he's always admired her music, style and grace. But I've stated the fact that (even if they didn't make it to the alter or didn't stay married for long) Aaliyah was going to marry someone else and according to rumors (her rumored marriage to R Kelly) and facts (her TRUE engagement to rapper, Damon Dash) she liked her men older. At the time of her tragic and untimely death, Drake was only about 14. I understand the OVO tat, he's devoting himself to his team..to the brand he created for himself. Drake also stated in an interview that he has "YOLO" tatted on him. Recently, Drake has gotten Canada's CN tower and the phrase "All Kinds" tattooed on his inner left and right arms...Good luck with the tats Drake!
