Weeknd really ate that but that Aaliyah vocal mix is disgraceful

I just listened to both. Removing all my bias, her vocals could’ve definitely been mixed better. But MJ’s vocals sound so airy and loose. Aaliyah’s background vocals sound like they’re clipping at times but in general it sounds better than MJ’s. Just my opinion

This is worse than Don’t Matter To Me. Clean your ears

You can still hear the original production behind her vocals.

my opinion like I said

why aren't y'all comparing this song to Enough Said, if anything?

why does Drake have to be mentioned at all?

Aaliyah sounds like a sample on what’s supposed to be her song

the vocals don't sound like Aaliyah, and past that the production is bland. something Aaliyah was known for. i only like the weeknd's hook. i truly hope they have timbo and missy's involvement with some of this project.

Bro her vocals mixed so bad idk how its repeatedly listenable fr

did they not have access to the vocal tracks?? it literally sounds like they didnf have her acapella vocals, so they just tried to eq out the instrumental

Should’ve kept this trash in the vault

Chill

She is

man what the hell are these vocals...

Google Aaliyah’s uncle and you’ll see why he’s DEFINITELY burning in hell when he perishes lmao.

Seriously tho, F*** that old nigga.

i refuse to listen to this s***

Damnnnn abel in high school you was the man abel, da f*** happened to you

What happened?

just mac with circles. one of my favorites in his discog

this song is atrocious though. sad

Considering he hasn’t said a thing about this, I think this definitely had to have been a part of the deal to get the sample clearance for What You Need.
