(CelebNMusic247-News) Drake Reveals Why He Abandoned Aaliyah Project
Drake speaks on the scrapped Aaliyah album he worked on, the “number one spot” and more with Elliott Wilson.
Last year, Drake was all about fallen R&B singer Aaliyah and how he was working on a new album using unfinished songs that she had recorded. Drake caused some behind the scenes controversy as Aaliyah’s family and friends were completely against the project and didn’t feel Drake was the person suited for the project.
Timbaland and Missy Elliott both vocied their opinions against the project and now Drake has come forth to reveal why he has abandoned the Aaliyah Project.
In the second part of the CRWN interview featuring Drake, he answers some questions from fans, shedding light on some of the inspiration for the album, his abandoned Aaliyah project, and the “number one spot”.
On dream collaborations:
Before things went downhill with it, I was actually working with my dream collaboration. Me and 40 were working on this Aaliyah album, that kind of got blown out of proportion. There are records with me and Aaliyah that no one has ever heard, and they’re really good.If there’s one person I would still want to work with, it would be Sade.
On why the Aaliyah project fell through:
I think the press got out of hand, they maybe just had a different vision for it. I’m not sure. It was sounding great to me. Whatever they end up doing with it, I wish them the best of luck. There might be a record with me on there, I’m not sure.On Twitter:
Twitter isn’t real by the way. There’s no gauge on real life on twitter. That’s a terrible medium to exist in. You can enjoy it, you can even indulge in it, just don’t live your life by that weird code.I do subtweet sometimes though.
On the “Number One Spot“:
I don’t want number one spots. Four or five weeks ago, there was another guy who was in the number one spot according to the entire world. All these discussions about number ones, and classics, I don’t care. I just want to make good music, and I want you to enjoy it. As long as we have that relationship for the duration of my career, I’m good.
