It has been 15 years since Aaliyah died in a plane crash, ending a life and career that were only beginning to their full potential. The three albums she released while alive influenced some of today?s most significant artists?Drake, Beyonc?, the Weeknd, and many more. But you won?t find most of her music online. In fact, Aaliyah?s most popular, most important works?the albums One in a Million and Aaliyah, and late-career singles like ?Are You That Somebody???aren?t available for streaming or sale on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, or any other online music service.
Digital voids like these can result from legal battles over uncleared samples (as with De La Soul), or from musicians holding out for better royalty terms (the Beatles, until recently). Other times they?re the result of ideological stands against the devaluation of artistic output (Joanna Newsom), or cranky nitpicking about audio quality (Neil Young). But Aaliyah?s internet absence is different?there?s no logic to it. It?s not an artistic statement or a play for more money, and there?s no dedicated Aaliyah-only streaming service in the works.
Instead, there?s a single, stubborn man, sitting on a catalog that includes almost all of her most famous work, as well as albums from Timbaland and Toni Braxton, and a trove of unreleased original material that?s never before been heard. The situation puts her entire musical legacy at risk of fading from memory. Year by year, streaming accounts for a greater portion of an artist?s visibility and reverence among the next generation of listeners. And he refuses to budge.
Cont' by following the link. It's long, but def. worth reading.

:butim16robert:
Yeah I read this earlier Barry is disgusting
The part about him buying the place where his ex works just to fire her ffffffg :uhh: crine
n
This blame game mess
:melmel:
Is there a demand for it tho?
I don't get why these articles always make it about Kellz. :dead: Literally every single one. That's the issue there. Stop focusing on other people and buy her catalog.
QuoteEvidence presented at trial showed the source of the HIV rumors was an IP address connected to Hankerson, and business records proved he did indeed purchase the Frank Grecko Salon where she worked, paying $400,000 for the privilege of firing his ex.
now see...

technically none

"including a snippet of the unreleased material"
1. Come Over was released.
2. Unmixed, isolated, unreleased Aaliyah vocals are mentioned multiple time in this article.
3. Drake and 40 had access to these vocals.
4. They used a take of Aaliyah's voice. It doesnt make ANY sense for them to chop and screw Tank's voice.
5. You're going to slither your slimy self around and say ANYTHING to object. But.
6. I'm not going to make this any simpler for you.

They probably didn't even know it was Tank's voice
Tank isnt singing any words on that part and isnt really listed as a feature
they probably just saw something that said "Aaliyah Come Over demo"
or something
or maybe they did know, how does it not make sense, they heard the bridge and they liked it so they used it
its not like "Fuckin Problems" is an Aaliyah tribute anyway

It's actually "Quit Hatin' not "Come Over".

Quit hatin' is my mess ffffffg
Barry is crazier than I thought :guys:
Handed his underage niece over to a pedo, forced her to get on a plane that crashed, exploited her music, and now refusing to release her classics.
Jay Z or somebody should make an offer.
Now that they spilled the tea, I wonder if his refusal to make money (by releasing various artists' music) is all a ploy to not pay his ex what she was owed. Talk about petty. :dead:
Kinda like men who refuse to work just so they won't get child support garnished. They hurt themselves just to be spiteful.
And for that ugly fag that asked about demand
QuoteThe artist attracts more than 800,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and has amassed close to 8 million station adds on Pandora. Just this past week, the track ?One In A Million? spun about 1.3 million times on Pandora alone; she averages about 8 million spins across her entire discography each week, and has long since passed 2 billion spins in total.
And her music continues to resonate with audiences. Across the past month, Pandora listeners have given her an average of 370,000 thumbs up each week. Forbes
