@ THEREALHONESTTRUTH
please don't make me laugh. You obviously don't know about music history. Aaliyah went to one of the top performing arts elementary schools in the country, toured with Gladys Knight at age 9, had her first record deal at 9, had her first gold album at 14. Hand picked three of the most emulated and talented hit makers of this generation (TImbaland, Missy, and Tank). Had "Are you that Somebody" change the game when she tim and static did the song at 4am and had it to the masters by 8am and on the radio by 10am with No album out. Was the youngest performer on the Academy Awards to Sing her song "Journey of the Past" which was nominated, Had WHITNEY HOUSTON (who you mentioned) hand pick her for the lead in "Sparkle" she was also hand picked by JANET JACKSON (Michael's sister) to do a duet to which they never got to do....Hand picked by the famous movie producer Joel Silver in 2 matrix movies, had the money and the backing to fly her people out to record her last album in Australia in 2000. Was basically the goddaughter to QUINCY JONES and partied with the likes of LIZA MINELLI, Was pulled backstage at the MTV Janet ICON celebrity to meet STEVIE WONDER who wanted to meet HER! ALL BEFORE THE AGE OF 23!

She's Inspired more than half of the most successful artists today sooooo please educate yourself. & If you think Aaliyah was a so/so singer please then you dont know Aaliyah's music. She had a unique sound and she often cooed her lyrics to have that signature sexy sound. BUT anyone who has worked with Aaliyah or ever saw her live or when she wasn't shy knows she was a BEAST and knocked out most of her songs in a series of one takes!

woooo anywhoo lmfao I personally haven't LOVED Drake's Aaliyah tributes in the past but hey if it get more people into her music I'm down for it. I can't complain really if its genuine love.
