After ample teasing (and a touch of controversy), the video for Chris Brown‘s Aaliyah collaboration ‘Don’t Think They Know’ has been unwrapped.
The clip for the cut, which is the latest to be lifted from C. Breezy’s new album ‘X’, features the singer dancing “with” the late R&B diva by way of visual projection. As many know, Aaliyah died in a tragic plane crash in 2001 aged just 22.
Watch Brown honor her legacy in this self-directed video after the jump…
Spotted at KD:
Very impressed mate!
Rest In Peace Aaliyah.
Nice song. My only fault is I would have loved to see more of Aaliyah as opposed to his thugalong leeches he has with him in that vehicle!

LOL @ HIM DOING THIS JUST BC DRAKE DID IT.. SONG IS OK, THOUGH
I wasn’t feelin him using Aaliyah like Drake but this is actually nice.
The song & video >>>>>>>>
This will smash urban. ‘Tis all!
SICK….SICK….SICK!!!!
Thats dope as hell!!! Great job on the track
and the video Breezy!!!
OH BUT WHEN DRAKE WANTED TO DO THIS, IT WAS A PROBLEM. K.
Drake wanted to do an entire album, and people were creeped out by his Aaliyah obsession. His song sucked anyway.
I agree with this. He was just doing too much and it looked like he was Obsessed with her which was creepy to me. You got to take baby steps to get people back in and that is what chris did and he don’t look like a stalker lol.
Drake made his aaliyah song a diss song that’s why it was a problem
@Blackswan, exactly! It was a disgusting move–period.
Drake tried to do an ENTIRE album without asking permission from her family or the people who worked with her and knew her the most Timbaland & Missy. Drake just took it upon himself to try & put together an album from her unreleased material. Chris just got permission from her label to use her vocals on a unreleased track.
Besides Drakes verse on ‘Enough Said’ was TACKY & DISRESPECTFUL and had nothing to do with the song! He was calling people ‘b******’ & ‘n*ggas’ and Aaliyah NEVER had that type of language on her records! Aaliyah was too classy for that. Plus Drake threw in a diss to Chris on his record which was disrespectful to Aaliyah’s memory. He was supposed to be honoring Aaliyah’s memory not dissing other artist on her song!
Chris song has no profanity, no sneak disses, just a touching to Aaliyah and her memory. Chris did it the RIGHT way!
‘Dont Think They Know’ >>>>>>>>> ‘Enough Said’!
Period!!
I agree with meme 100%. Drake used that song to take shots, it wasn’t about paying homage. Drake however did get permission from her record label blackground and chris got it too. her family (apart from her uncle who owns BG) don’t hold the rights to the music unfortunately. look up the truth about blackground on youtube. if it isn’t with her original team or a duets album with 90s artists/isley brothers and other inspirations, i won’t support.
This is nice! I like it! Very well put together. I see you Breezy!
I love this song, I just wish incorporated Aaliyah better. It’s 2013, and there is a lot of technology out there, her tribute should have had more presence.
Aaliyah’s part is the best thing about it
Loved the song! Aaliyah’s vocals were so smooth and beautiful. The video was very tasteful and a nice tribute to her memory. Good Job CB.
this is a classy way to tribute Aaliyah Drake sucks! BYE
Hate both the song and video… Aaliyah brings nothing to the song. Nothing special. Chris Brown… I know you can do way better than this.
Aaliyah brings everything to the song. She is the song. Had Chris Brown released it by himself, I’m sorry but it would have flopped just like ‘Flop China’. Aaliyah saved the day once again 🙂 but is ur opinion.
YSE ROBERTA BTICH BABYGIRL SAVED THE DAY SO RECOGNISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Chris! Very nice.
i agree
He’s trying so hard to be genuine, but it’s not working.
He’s also clearly jacking Drake’s flow near the end of the first verse, but…
I thought this was gonna be bad but hey I was wrong. The beat is nice and Aaliyah was a nice touch to the song. I think if drake handled it better instead of a letter and then going about a whole album of her material I don’t know it just looked like stalking or something. Anyway, chris did a good job with this. Sometimes you got to take baby steps. Especially with someone as special as Aaliyah.
#AaliyahForever not here for post 2002 “artists” using Aaliyah for their own success. if anyone knows the FACTS about blackground they wont support this.
I love aaliyah and this song is good rip its a problem when drake did it because he used the song to bash chris that wasnt what aaliyah about and the beat they were using.
HUE Aaliyah fan here, since 96. This was great, it’s nice to hear her voice. Although I like the other version better, this also has a whole new meaning. Chris could’ve kept the glowing eyes, but I still enjoyed it. NOW I would love to hear an unreleased song from Aaliyah ALONE! It’s been a long time…
the song is Nice, but i wanna know the message in this……..
and using “Aaliyah” symbolizes what ?
Loved when he was surrounded by african american lil kids and disliked when he was eye-less wearing black.
4/5
I like it!
Gotta give CB many PROPS for this!!! Love it love it love !!!!!
I love you pic,,,,Monica all day…Patiently waits on new album…2014.
First, the song is weak. But it is good to hear Aaliyah’s voice. The video is try hard and the blips of colour are distracting. It shoulda just been all black and white.
The b
What I was trying to say is, the blips of color are there on purpose. Clearly the concept was lost on you. The beginning of the video talks about innocent lives being lost and we should just love each other. Then you see the video is shot is gang and crime filled Compton. Then you see red(bloods), then blue(crips), then every color because we shouldn’t be separated by the other two. The video is anti gang violence. Towards the end we see that a friend of his most likely died due to gang violence which was the purpose for this video.
There’s no “concept” to the video sweetie. It’s a typical hip-hop video of people running around the streets. They made it black and white to seem deep and added random bits of colour to make it seem “artistic.” I didn’t realize colouring someone’s Chuck Taylor’s and hair was such a RICH concept. Try again. And don’t try to clock me again, ho I will reach thru the internet and throw your bones.
Finally a real opinion! people know this song isn’t all that but they dont want to say nothing bad cause aaliyahs on the track
Chris brown is full of s*** I remember when allyiah was out all these black people would critisize her and say she cant sing now u goons loving her now rest in peace my girl as for chris is career is over no one cares for his music besides those horny girls who want to sleep with him
Love itttt. CB did that
I love how instead of making a diss song like Drake did, CB put subtle hints in the video(like the kids shirt that says YOLO), but didnt bring his drama into a song with Aaliyah. Good job Chris. great song and video. definitely better than Drake’s. don’t act like people aren’t going to compare.
I love this song with Chris and Aaliyah unlike Drake with his curse words. Aaliyah was Classy! Until something from Aaliyah is released, let me enjoy one of my favorite
http://youtu.be/XQQCDmGbgN0
YESS! One of my fav’s!
Chile please let babygirl rest in peace
I love this song..The thing is C.B need to leave this thug life image behind, because it is bringing him down! He needs to clean up his image…But good song non the less!
i can’t with your picture… “honey the shade of it all”
his previous picture was so hot
He did a great job, like many people I would also would have liked more Aaliyah in the video, surely sufficient technology is available to have her feature in the video instead of being relegated to the background but the vocals, sound are great.
Using Aaliyahs name to sell i see aaliyah does nothing for the song. I doubt she would want a woman beater on a track with her.
Exactly.
sit ur dusty self down u dont know her … ur press
Aaliyah better f****** slay from 6 feet under.
Aaliyah > Beyonce
hello fan,how are you today?
This song is weak if aaliyah wasnt on the track no one would give a f*** #Pow i said it
Get you some damn business. You are living in the comments section today. Go home.
FIST OFF DRAKE WAS A FEAT FOR ENOUGH SAID AALIYAH HAD TWO VERSES AND A CHORUS THIS IS CHRIS SONG FEAT AALIYAH ENOUGH SAID IS AN AMAZING SONG SO DONT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER DESPITE DRAKE RAPPING ON IT THIS VIDEO WAS ANYWHERE BUT HERE MMM K I GET THE WEST COAST GUN VIOLENCE BUT THE SONG AND VIDEO DIDNT MATCH
NOW I LOVE THIS SONG & as much as I wasn’t a fan of Aaliyah this song is beautiful & yea Chris needs to lay off the THUG’n be a normal Dude these days!!
Thug gangster criminal don’t drag sweet precious angel Aaliyah into ur foolery
its only good cause of aaliyah’s voice
->Biggest Aaliyah stan EVER<-
I'll say the same that I said about Drake. I appreciate hearing Aaliyah's voice again on something different; but I don't appreciate Aaliyah's music being used without her family's consent. That includes Missy & Timbo.. got a problem with my opinion, oh f***** well. i don't take you seeds seriously anyways because you spend your time stanning for no talent-act stealing acts like Riri & Beyonka so f*** y'all
Very disappointed with this track… Digital Black’s original version with Aaliyah was better than this. Usually they put a featuring artist vocals close to the beginning or middle of a song, not wait till the end of the song. The verses do not go well with Aaliyah’s verse compared to the original. To be honest Aaliyah’s verse was the best part of the whole song.
I agree. Digital Black used a demo vocals, I heard that Aaliyah re recorded it and it’s a full song. I don’t know why they didn’t just release the full song with just Aaliyah. It’s been 11 years since we heard anything new from Aaliayh, I think it’s time to give the fans something and not features and samples. I know I want some new songs, and only Aaliyah unless it was an original feature artist.
I haven’t been this excited for a Chris Brown song/video since Run It & Gimme That. This s*** right here………yes ma’am. That’s all I have to say.
Aaliyah has been dead for 12 years, yet she is still better than some of yall favs.
a beautiful way of keeping in the minds of those who never heard her before.
Aaliyah that girl Rihanna is a Copy cat!! Look at Aaliyah, Rihanna copied her style straight up!
–
Styles Rihanna stole!!!
Fefe Dobson
Beyonce
Cassie
Victoria Beckham
Who will be the next victim? Miss you Aaliyah!!!
I need this beat with only Aaliyah’s vocals on it. Then I’m good.
Nice song. I still don’t appreciate him using her vocals in the first place but it’s still a nice song only because of her anyway.
I am in love with everything abt this song and video “tears”
I was skeptical at first! I do feel that the video and song don’t match but I love what Chris is trying to accomplish with this! This will be an Urban banger!
Aaliyah’s vocals sound amazing on this and the finished product of this is beautiful!
I’M SO INTO THIS SONG RIGHT THERE. RIP BABY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Breezy you triiiiied it with your R.Kelly/Game/DMX demeanor, but I did not buy it at all. You ain’t about that life, just be yourself.
Anyway,the best part of the song is Aaliyah. All those beige guys need to leave her legacy ALONE! *plays Journey to the Past*
B**** STFU!!!!!!!!!!! ^^^^^^ YOU MOTHER F***** HATER
How is it hating??? Aaliyah’s music should be by Aaliyah for Aaliyah. Unless Missy/Ginuwine/Timbo/Dmx are on it. Using samples to ride the success of a late talent is tired.
I think they say, “OUT OF RESPECT!”
When I hear a CB song that I love, I replay for hours. The last time I did this was for “sing like me” and “4 yrs old”. Loves it bad bad!
OKay, I dont understand why the dead cant stay dead….Yes Aaliyah was a great talent of her time but how about Chris and Drake stop trying to ride her coat tail?? That is not okay..
The song is cute for Aaliyah…not chris
and Chris booboo…have several seats in the New Orleans Super Dome because you not thuggin…the best part of the video was Aaliyahs voice
I really like this song, as Chris brown didnt change much of the beat or insutrumental as the original version.
So this is good.
Although i prefer the original version aaliyah did.
This is good becuase a new younger generation will know who aaliyah is.
The man, a local security guard identified as Zhang Rongsheng, in reality was injured after a dispute with another man on the bus on December 8, police said.
