Drake releasing a Aaliyah album.......

[Genevieve]

The 40 production really suits her voice based off that first track, I'm pretty excited. Take Care is a top album too, really surprised me since Thank Me Later was a real mixed bag.

Fuck Timbaland, I respect and still love the stuff he did up until about My Love with JT, but like 90% of all his productions since then have been ass. 40 is the better shout imo

Really? I thought the beat just sounded like someone's first attempt at production, with Aaliyah's vocals carelessly plastered over it.

Never forget doe...

[say_whut]

its not 40s best beat, but that whole aesthetic he's created with Drake really suited Aaliyahs vocal I think

FUCK DRAKE.

FUCK HIM UP HIS FUCKING ASS.

Considering a MILLION other producers have used her
vocals in their tracks and still done a half decent job,
40 and Drake should be fucking castrated for this
abomination.

Naw, dis different. Aaliyah's vocal used as a sound design or melodic element is one thing. What Drake is doing is milking Aaliyah's legacy for a quick buck. And that one preview was an especially awful example of that (he basically used her vocals as a backdrop for his 'rapping', but is still selling it as an Aaliyah choon).

Like Timbaland said, if you're gonna release new Aaliyah material, do it for charity. And tbf, it should be her actual damn friends doing this, people she's loved and who's artistic vision she trusted.

Is David Blaine Drake's dad?

[Electric_Head]

He's actually Drake's son.
It's Magic.

Equal parts excited and terrified about this. I love Aaliyah a bit TOO much... her over Shebib's production could be amazing, but Drake is really hit and miss for me. Marvin's Room is amazing.

Did anyone else catch the 40-produced tune that JoJo put out to Soundcloud a couple of months ago?

[herbs]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Jojo got grown, yo!

[particle-jim]

Having never knowingly listened to Drake, nor being particularly knowledgeable on any of Aaliyah's back catalogue, I have no strong opinion on this in either direction. To be honest I just wanted to tell OP to sort their grammar out.

a Aaliyah album

[Sexual_Chocolate]

would smash jojo

[magma]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Jojo got grown, yo!

Serious. I didn't pay any attention to her after the "Wow, that 13 year old girl's making really inappropriate records" phase, but that Demonstrate tune knocked my socks off and she is FOOIIIIINE now.

dubfordessert told me off for ignoring her. Apparently she's been quietly making decent jams for a few years now... well done, Jojo.

[herbs]

I will ignore her no longer

[dickman69]

this board is literally the only place ive heard of jojo in like 5 years

does she live in england/sell better in england or something

[AxeD]

I think using the term gay as some sort of insult is stupid in naive.

But this shit gay.

Literally never heard of her before today but then again I go out of my way to avoid popular culture wherever possible

Nope. Demonstrate and the Marvin's Room cover are the only things I've heard from her in years and they were both free releases, I think... dfd's just a much bigger RnB nerd than me.

[dickman69]

yinz just jojo nerds

[Mortal]

this song...this is why nobody should like drake!
(or anyone else in this tune for that matter)

[wolf89]

^^^Well that is a shit tune but it's not gonna change the fact that there are Lil Wayne and Tyga tunes I will actually play out and Nicki Minaj has some good instrumentals...
