I've posted some information on the blog exclusive joint "Crazy" by Aura already, but I figured it would make more sense if we heard it straight from her, because she was actually there. So here is the very talented Aura talking about the history of the track: I was signed to Atlantic at the time. Gee Roberson was my A&R and he manages Kanye. Kanye came to the studio and had forgotten his records, but I'm an avid Joni Mitchell fan and had some of her records there. It was like magic watching Kanye work. He crafted that beat like it was a priceless sculpture. When it started to come together Gee, who managed Static at that time too said "What do you think about Static co-writing with you?" Well, I was ecstatic, pun fully intended. Within an hour or so, Static came over. I was fully aware and familiar with his work with Playa, Aaliyah, Genuine and he had also written my girl Truth Hurts super sick single "Addicted", so I was excited. He came in...
I might be in the minority, but I never really liked that Brandy song. On the other hand, I've always been a huge fan of the "Don't Know What To Tell Ya." Timbaland killed it with that beat and the way the vocals are arranged makes the song great to me.

Don't Know What To Tell Ya, Aaliyah.
ReplyDeleteDont Know What to Tell Ya....

ReplyDeleteThe Liyah Static combo will win almost every time. I'll go with I dont know What 2 Tell ya.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm in the minority but my vote goes to "Come As You Are"
ReplyDeleteCOME AS YOU ARE w/ Brandy. the Lili track is amazing, but this is just addictive.
ReplyDeletedont know what to tell ya
ReplyDeleteHands down, Come as You Are, the lyrics are serious on joint.
ReplyDeleteHard one... Between ''Who Is She 2 U'' and '' Don't Know What To Tell Ya'' I would probably choose Brandy. But, in this case - my vote goes to Aaliyah! B.
