Drake already addressed the Missy and Timbaland issue. There are plans to reach out to them to work on a couple of tracks. If Missy and Timbaland feel slighted that they weren't the original team that Blackground contacted, well that's their own call. But it does seem like the option is there in some form should they wish to be involved. They'd just have to shove pride & hurt feelings aside.

Scrap this mess please. Honestly, as much as I loved Aaliyah when she was alive, I am content to listen to the albums already released. I don't need anything tainted her legacy, thanks.

As a longtime Aaliyah fan, the fact that Drake took one of her unreleased tracks and turned it into a Chris Brown diss song absolutely disgusts and offends me. They should just let her rest in peace, it feels weird to listen to any "new music" from her anyway.

^ It should have it's own name to clear up any confusion, especially since her last album was self-titled. Why the pushback? Release during this holiday season Barry Hankerson tweeted the album cover with this tweet I don't get the pushback either to be honest especially since 40 is just remixing & mastering unreleased songs.

Beautiful cover.
Idk, this project would sit better with me if there was solid support from the Haughton family and/or Missy/Timbaland co-signed.

Unless they are waiting for Aaliyah's family to come around and support it. ??? Remixing and remastering can actually take a lot of time and effort. Considering how many sound engineers' idea of "remastering" means turning up the volume, it would be better if they take their time and do it right. They have once chance to get it right.

I'm positive the album would have been a late December release if it was still on schedule for this year. I'm assuming this has been pushed back to Jan. 2013. I would rather they take their time with it than do a rush-release. "Enough Said" was released early and it's probably one of the few tracks that they finished. I just hope it isn't a posthumous album full of collaborations considering most of Aaliyah's hits were solo.

I don't think the project is that far along, and they probably just leaked "Enough Said" around the anniversary of her death to drum up some hype.

I was just going to ask what's the album title. Self titled would have been fitting if it wasn't used. I mean they could wait until the album is completed and find a title within the sound of the music or the direction of the music. I wouldn't mind that. It looked to be treated as a regular album and not a tribute so I hope it can get a proper title that illustrate the music best to the public. I am looking forward to this. Can't imagine myself listening to a new Aaliyah's album this coming year but the anticipation is rising as the news make its way to the net.

Maybe the title of the album is "A", and the Aaliyah is only there because it's her album?

People are now up in arms saying that Barry's twitter is fake because it's recently created and it isn't verified , so they are saying it's a possibility that the cover and push-back aren't real/true/confirmed. SMH. MESS

I like the album cover, real or not. I like that they used a still from the haunting final shot of the Rock the Boat video, which I love.

I'm sorry but the cover art is very creepy to me, the picture of her face i look at it and it gives me a uneasy feeling, maybe its just me.

That shot from the "Rock The Boat" video always made me feel uneasy. For good reason.

Ummm wonder if thats the real cover art. It is indeed interesting and appealing. I look forward to the album, I think the Drake/Shebib production goes good with her voice. If he's going to rap on tracks find better things to rap about, they should completely redo his part of Enough Said.

DMX is HEATED and is going from place to place to make sure we know it. Love the impersonation at 2:16 (those hands): "How do you disregard an angel? And say I'm gonna take it for myself because I'm hot right now and I'm feelin' myself and I'm Canadian... no offense to Canadians"
