Aaliyah fans were excited to get a brand new album from the late singer, but that later turned to disappointment after seeing who's featured on the posthumous project.

Aaliyahs posthumous album Unstoppablewill arrive sometime this month, and while fans should be happy with all the new music coming their way, the feeling is more of disappointment rather than excitement. The late singers uncle, Barry Hankerson, was recently a guest on The Geno Jones Show, where he spoke about the forthcoming album and its guest features. According to Hankerson, the album will have appearances by The Weeknd Drake Snoop Dogg Futureand Ne-Yo, and the estate feels confident with this output. One of the songs thats out now is doing incredibly well. And thats the song that she did with Weeknd, Hankerson said. Because of that success, we think itll only get better with people such as Ne-Yo and Snoop Dogg, Future, and Drake one of her biggest fans. Those are the features thatll be on the record and thatll be out in January. Aaliyahs fans caught wind of the statement made by Hankerson, and made their voices heard on social media. Instead of celebrating the project, fans ridiculed the late singers estate for allegedly wasting a golden opportunity in making a great album. One of the biggest issues people have with Unstoppable is the lack of proper R&B representation on the album. People do not want to hear an Aaliyah project sound too Hip Hop, and they want an album with female artists as opposed to the feature list being male-dominated. Imagine having the opp to create a new Aaliyah album with an entire generation of women that were directly influenced (Ciara, Teyana, Tinashe, Normani, Jhene, CxH, H.E.R., Sevyn, etc.) but instead we get Snoop Dogg, Neyo, Future, CB, a weird Weeknd songyikes, wrote one fan. imagine having the opp to create a new Aaliyah album with an entire generation of women that were directly influenced (Ciara, Teyana, Tinashe, Normani, Jhene, CxH, H.E.R., Sevyn, etc.) but instead we get Snoop Dogg, Neyo, Future, CB, a weird Weeknd songyikes Read more
