Line was nice."Went from my ***** serving it by the tele
To venues in Manchester just swerving with Balotelli"
Sig worthy
See, I'd like it if Drake rapped more...but dude just comes of wild creepy with this aaliyah thing. Doesn't he have a tattoo of her? I mean what IS that?

I like it, its Smooth.... Y'all take things to seriously.
Its nice to her Aaliyah again, its unfortunate you guys can't enjoy it for that factor alone just bc its not built with the exact same ingredients as your used to hearing Aaliyah in the past. The beat surely is not "bad" its nothing special either, its 40, you know what type of Beats dude makes, also its R&B, ambient-ish at that. The production is nice at least it doesn't sound like a frankenstein mashup. Drakes versus is alright, I would have actually preferred if he would have sang on it. All said I can understand Timbs perspective too.
I put it it right in the sunny day playlist without a second thought.

This **** sucks.
The beat doesn't match to her voice/singing at all.

Drake really doesn't have too many bad verses out there. That's impressive to me.

Can someone clarify what's Drake's infatuation or affiliation with Aaliyah?

Why do you guys keep bringing up Drake's love for Aaliyah? What does that have to do with anything? How is it any different than dudes digging up old Pac and BIG verses? Aaliyah family benefits off it. I don't have a problem with.
My only problem is this ish is wack and i'm a 40/Drake/Aaliyah fan. Drake knows this wack beat wouldn't make his album so why is he wasting Aaliyah vocals on it?
And ya'll keep talking about Aaliyah like she's Whitney Houston or MJ. I loved Aaliyah's music but let's call her what she really was. She was a decent to average singer who died too young to really have a major mark on music.

Swear, even if it was a smooth track like this, Timbo would've added somethin to the beat to give it a different twist. This beat is flat and generic w/ a Marvin's Room essence

He's an Aaliyah stan and her music influenced him. He has a tattoo of her face on his back and reports suggest he will be overseeing Aaliyah's posthumous album. He also wrote this letter about her when RapRadar asked him to say a few words about her: http://rapradar.com/2010/08/25/rr-guest-blog-drakes-letter-to-aaliyah/
On the song itself, I agree that it doesn't have an Aaliyah "feel" to it but Drake's verse is solid (once again, seems like he can't miss in 2012). It's not my favourite 40 beat but it's decent IMO.
What I find ridiculous is that everybody keeps suggesting like Aaliyah records should only be over Timbaland beats and featured with Missy Elliott. Pretty sure if she was still alive, she wouldn't be working solely with those two. I do think however they should be involved with the posthumous album.
Also, anybody who suggests this song hurts Aaliyah's legacy is a damn fool. Seeing a lot of that on Twitter from some Aaliyah stans, that's a huge overreaction. It's one song.
