Ginuwine Tells Drake to Leave Aaliyah Album Alone

Posthumous albums are always a little touchy, and people are usually apprehensive about supporting them. Even 2pac's "Loyal To The Game" had people questioning whether or not Eminem should be executive producing a 2pac album. Now the drama is focused on Aaliyah, and Drake's plan to executive produce a posthumous album in her memory has been met with much contention. Singer Ginuwine, who collaborated with Aaliyah while she was alive, is of the thought that Drake should just leave the whole thing alone.

"I don't think he should do it," warned Ginuwine. "I don't agree with it. I think he should just leave that alone. I keep hearing about it. I'm not too much up on it but I know a little bit about it. I do know that he's disrespecting Chris and that's just not her legacy. That's not how her legacy should be played out. I don't think he should use her to paddle anybody."

While Ginuwine admitted Drake is a "great artist", he thinks Drizzy can "get more creative than that". What do you think about Drake's controversial decision?

I agree with Ginuwine 100%. Also, Drake had no intentions of allowing Timbaland, Missy, Ginuwine or anyone else she worked with to be a part of the project. Drake never even met her. The same with Eminem...he never should have touched 2Pac's music.

If anybody should executive produce Aaliyah's posthumous album it should be Missy Elliott and Timbaland... Not somebody who has no idea what Aaliyah was thinking. atleast they will put people around her that compliment her and not looking to be carried by her name....

tim, missy, ginuwine- they have two reasons why they dont want drake doing this. 1.he wasnt her friend 2.he's about to make $. i think they are more concerned about the latter...they are lookin like a bunch of cry babies though. hey timbaland why was drake able to get the rights to music YOU wrote? YOU sold it for $! sold ur friend's memory for $.

I don't really get Drake's obsession with this project. He could just make a homage track and keep it moving. Now he's just like the guy that's inviting himself to a party, its just awkward... Money don't give you all the rights buddy... I wish black people would understand that sometimes...
