Drake posted a new song which heavily features Aaliyah. Most would be deterred from using a track from a dead R&B legend for fear that it would seem like profiting off of a tragic incident, but Drake is a man with an unfettered vision (The same cannot be said for Tony Parker).
Joking aside, I have no problems with Drake's use of Aaliyah so long as her estate is cool with the goings on. I see it as Drizzy keeping her legacy alive by dropping verses on her songs--now teenagers from around the world will be exposed to a legendary talent.
Drake has a knack for doing these sorts of things--remember the nod to Gil-Scott Heron "Over My Dead Body" ?-- and it can't be argued that the man has great taste in musicians.
Check out "Enough Said" by Aaliyah ft. Drake
