Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!

Wednesday, August 25 2010 3:59 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Guest List
As many of you know, Drake is a huge fan of Aaliyah as evidenced by TML‘s “Unforgettable” which samples her song “At Your Best”. On the ninth anniversary of Ms. Haughton’s passing, Rap Radar reached out to Drizzy to get his thoughts on a day that will forever be remembered. He quickly penned the following letter below. RIP Baby Girl.
Dear Dana,
I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!
Love you always and forever,
Drake
this bought a tear to my heart
heart u aaliyah
#NoH8
Today it”s RIP Aaliyah.
Tomorrow I will go off on how much of a girl this Drake character is, and why RR didn’t ask Jay or Dame or other folks who knew her. Ask the Dog, he’s fresh out and needs the publicity. Ask Timbo. Ask Nicole Wray. Ask whoever…but like I said I will say all that shit tomorrow.
RIP Aaliyah.

i mean, aaliyah wasnt ever that big or that influential. I mean, its not like this is the anniversary of pac or biggie.
@bhikku
u just said it -_- and apparently your opinion shows the ass of a person you are.
[...] Thanks RapRadar [...]
FUCK DRAKE FUCK JEWSSSSSS *DEAD* !!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
pay homage is wat i like to see
This was a dope way of showing fan appreciation. I’m a huge fan of Aaliyah as well so I know how Drake feels about her passing. Shit crushed me eventho I didn’t know her. What’s fucked is, ppl r gonna hate on this saying he didn’t know her, but none of us knew Pac & Big, but that doesn’t mean their music didn’t touch our souls. Same with her. We’re humans with emotions. We feel shit. All in all, I miss Aaliyah. She was one if Detroit’s finest & woulda been on top had she been alive today & kept working hard. R.I.P Aaliyah

HORUS the truth!
R.I.P. Aaliyah, catch ya at the crossroads.
I want this guy to fall off badly. Did he really need to make this an open letter?
COSIGN @MoneyMitch No 13 to14 year old boys knew that much about Aaliyah when we were
little I think Drake is just working the fans, like all these other rappers that come out of the blue
and start saying R.I.P. to someone they probably didn’t know or listen to. I heard her songs but I
didn’t know too much about her when I was little, hes acting like she was Michael Jackson, hes a
bandwagon jumper. Anyways R.I.P. to Aaliyah
Wow…the man pours out his heart about one of his favorite artist on anniversary of her death and all you people can talk about his how much you hate him. It’s scary how we’ve become so heartless.

WTF, these niggas won’t born when Michael Jackson was making an impact but he still had an impact on artist Drake’s age, stop focusing on hating Drake and focus on the message. Damn smh!!
HateRadar as usual.

YOU REALLY WANT ME TO KEEP EXPOSING FLOP DRIZZY??? LMAO!!!
DRAKE IS A FAIL, DRAKE IS A MESS, DRAKE IS A BIIIIIIIIITCH.
★★★
HORUS IS THE TRUTH✔
@Jay Drake is making it about him by writing a damn letter, Why not make a song?
@HORUS How old are you my dude. Really?
Its 6,000 away from platinum meaning if it hasnt already, this week it will sell 1,000,000 copies. What other rappers are doing? Other than Wayne and Em? NONE. Instead of tearing Drake apart you should be praising him for how he is contributing to the sales of hip hop. Hes getting his money, how are you getting yours?
Why do people have to call him gay?? It’s comments like that which makes it hard for actual gays to come out instead of living a double life because there are such homophobes in this fuckin country.
And why does hip hop have to be so one dimensional that it’s so wrong for him making it “feminine” or whatever someone said?
[...] penned a letter through Rap Radar to the Princess of R&B Aaliyah who left us 9 years ago today cause heaven needed another angel. [...]
And why does someone have to be big to have an influence on someone? She was an artist he really liked and I’m glad he’s bringing her memory back! It’s nice.
rest in peace angel, think of you alot and listening to your records often!
OH AND FUCK YOU HORUS
