Before Aaliyah's untimely death in a plane crash at the age of 22, she created many memorable songs. R. Kelly, Teddy Bishop, Eric Seats and Rapture all wrote hits for the singer, but her best work was crafted by Timbaland.
In the third part of his interview with Revolt, Timbo explains why posthumous Aaliyah songs with Drake, Chris Brown or anyone else won't work.
"People always say I'm gonna do a song with Aaliyah. It will never work," Tim said. "Chris Brown got a record, it won't work. Drake can go do a record with Aaliyah. It ain't gonna work. Because Aaliyah's music only works with the soul in it, which is me."
The super producer also revealed he's been in the studio with Nas.
"Nas got a song right now with him Jay and Justin [Timberlake]. It's completely stupid. It's called 'Sinatra in the Sands,'" Tim revealed. "And Justin sounds like Frank Sinatra."
**UPDATE** July 26
After having some time to reflect on his comments Timbaland has issued a public apology to Chris Brown regarding his song with Aaliyah.
"I want 2 publicly apologize 2 my lil homie @chrisbrown 4 my statements on revolt regarding the Aaliyah collaborations," Tim wrote on his Twitter page. "I actually like the song wit him n Aaliyah, its just when you are talking about babygirl its a very sensitive subject with me. So the people who not only worked with her but grew a bond so tight we are like family so im very over protective over her. I have mad luv 4 my dude @chrisbrown. A mother lost a daughter. a brother lost a sister. that is still grieving over her passing. It's just a very sensitive subject."
Tim made no mention of Drake during the apology.
