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...



:(

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.

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?



:U:

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.

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.

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. :Q:
