Via NY Daily News:
Lil Wayne thinks the late Aaliyah's music is better than a lot of music out today — and he's confident that Drake's plan to produce unreleased Aaliyah songs will be an "awesome collaboration."
Missy Elliott and Timbaland, who produced most of Aaliyah's music, are not involved, and DMX, who co-starred with Aaliyah in the movie "Romeo Must Die" and recorded a song with her, has been critical of the project.
Lil Wayne said he hasn't heard any negative feedback, and added when he first heard that his Young Money protégé was a part of the project, his first thought was: "Good move."
"Everybody knows what Aaliyah did and done for music and culture, period, and it's always good to do that, for not only for people like that, just for her fans — you know what I mean?" he said in a recent interview. "Drake's a very thoughtful person. Everyone knows that. It's an awesome collaboration. Her music is still awesome. It's still better than a lot of music out right now," he said.
