Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Aaliyah’s tragic death. And like always
Timbaland keeps Aaliyah Haughton’s memory alive for the latest edition of Timbaland Thursday. RIP Baby Girl.
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.
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
