Two Separate Legal Battles Begin Over Aaliyah’s Music

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News)  There are two lawsuits brewing over music by deceased R&B singer Aaliyah. A publishing company named Reservoir Media Management is suing Craze Productions for illegally selling tracks off Aaliyah’s self-titled 2001 album on iTunes according to TMZ. In the lawsuit, Reservoir is claiming that they purchased the rights to those songs last year and that Craze does not have permission to sell them. Craze is an independent record label and film distributor that was started in 2004. The company has had issues with copyright concerns in the past. In 2011 three of the company’s YouTube channels were allegedly suspended due to violation of YouTube’s copyright policy. Currently, the iTunes page for the Aaliyah album lists the LP under Craze Productions. In the suit Reservoir states that the songs are not legit and wants a judge to order that they be removed. Reservoir is also seeking an unannounced amount of money in the lawsuit. Reservoir’s website also has tracks from Aaliyah available for download, and it provides a request option to license the material as well as tracks from Aaliyah’s other albums One In A Million, I Care 4 U, and the soundtrack to Romeo Must Die. The legal battle between Reservoir and Craze is just the latest court room contest over Aaliyah’s music. Last month music producer Jeffery Walker II (aka J-Dub) sued Blackground Records, Barry Hankerson, his son Jomo Hankerson, and Black Fountain Music in Georgia claiming that he is owed hundred’s of thousands of dollars in royalties from working on Aaliyah’s music back in 2000 and 2001. Aaliyah’s projects were released on Blackground Records which was started by her uncle Barry Hankerson. The label is currently a part of Universal Music Group. Walker claims the he never received royalty checks between 2003-2011, because the Hankersons forged his signature, cashed those royalty checks intended for him, and then deposited the money in Blackground Records’ account. As a result he was taxed on income he never received and now owes the I.R.S. taxes on $262,580 worth of income from 2004-2011. He says the Hankersons cost him nearly $500,000 in total. Walker’s complaint does state that Blackground records subsidiary Black Fountain Music was purchased by Reservoir Media Management in 2012. Both cases are still pending.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Diss or Punchline? Is Drake Taking Shots At Chris Brown’s Record Sales?

By: Ginatorres27Category: MOBILE

Drake and his producer 40 are helming the new Aaliyah posthumous album, which not everyone is happy about – you can read more about that here. Drake is featured on the first single, “Enough Said”, and some of his lyrics can be taken as a diss towards Chris Brown’s record sales. So I have to ask, is this a diss or a punchline? Check out the lyrics Drake raps on the track below: “Running through the city with n!**as I’d give a kidney/ Selling under 150 you n!**as got to be kidding/ Is this even still a discussion?/ Don’t you ever wake up disgusted?” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HNgVmHSuVM&w=560&h=315] Chris Brown’s album Fortune, only sold about 134,000 copies. So, was Drake trying to subliminally come after Breezy? Speak on it!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Aaliyah Fans Upset By Drake Helming Project, Lash Out On Twitter

By: Ginatorres27Category: MOBILE

So, by now you’ve all heard what is allegedly the first single from the Aaliyah posthumous album. If not, you can check it out below: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HNgVmHSuVM&w=560&h=315] The single, called “Enough Said,” was produced by Drake’s producer, Noah “40” Shebib, who is also said to have leaked the record. The project is being helmed by Drake and 40, and has allegedly received the blessing from Aaliyah’s estate. Unfortunately for Drake, many hardcore Aaliyha fans believe that Timbaland and Missy should be helming the project, not him. Check out some of the backlash the record is receiving on Twitter: Wow, that last tweet was pretty funny, and probably true! So, how do Timbaland and Missy feel about Drake producing the project? Check out what Timbo recently told Power 105.1 below: “I know they trying to drop some Aaliyah records, but if he do it, it should be with me and Missy. The proper way for him to do that would be for me, him and Missy to be all on the record. But to put it on his record, would just not be right.” It looks like Drake is going full steam ahead with the project, without the help of Timbaland or Missy. What do you think about that? Sidenote, Drizzy recently inked another tattoo dedicated to the late singer Aaliyah. Check out the tattoo below, which is of the number 416, Toronto’s area code, as well as 116, which is Aaliyah’s birthday. In related news, this may come as a surprise, but YMCMB artist Drake has not finished high school. The rapper recently revealed to Toronto Now, that he plans to go back to school to earn his diploma. Check out what he said below: “I’m actually spending my summer graduating high school. That’s my main focus after OVO Fest. I only have one credit left, and I’m really excited about that.” Good for Drake!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is A New Aaliyah Album In the Works??

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: Rumors

That’s the word according to The Hitmen’s Jeffrey “J. Dub” Walker, who recently tweeted, “Just got great news today; the smash unreleased song called “Steady Ground” I produced on #Aaliyah is gonna be on her upcoming album.” Nothing has been reported or confirmed by her label-home, Blackground Records, regarding a new posthumous album from the singer who won over 20 Billboard Music Awards during her career. According to Hypetrak, if a new album does hit stores, it would be the singer’s “first non-compilation CD since her death” in 2001. Of the posthumous albums mentioned, 2002’s I Care For You and 2005’s Ultimate Aaliyah are “both best-ofs projects with the former also containing three songs that were previously unreleased.” We miss you, Aaliyah.
