What Aaliyah’s legacy needs is her discography on streaming services. That will inspire a new generation of artists and producers to make new music inspired by her. Drake tried to carry the load himself though and I respect that.

Drake has gotten Aaliyah vocals cleared multiple times. Timbaland and Missy complaining about 40 doing the Aaliyah album is why the family pulled the plug from it

from 40:

Well, I was that for Aaliyah. Aaliyah’s label Blackground—the Hankersons, her uncle and cousin—came to me and said if she was around she’d want you to do this posthumous project. I’ve been obsessed with Aaliyah forever, and I know Drake has his relationship with her. But that opportunity was mine. Drake said, “Can I do it with you?” and I was like, “Of course, we’ll do it together.” The world reacting to Drake’s involvement so negatively, I just wanted nothing to do with it. That was a very sad experience for me. I was naïve to the politics surrounding Aaliyah’s legacy and a bit ignorant to Timbaland’s relationship and everybody else involved and how they’d feel. Tim said to me “Don’t stop, make the album.” I think that was Tim taking the position of, “I’m not going to stop you. If you’re not going to do it, that’s your decision.” But ultimately, I wasn’t comfortable and didn’t like the stigma. We released “Enough Said”, but I was seven songs deep. Aaliyah’s mother saying “I don’t want this out” was enough for me. I walked away very quickly.
