Drake Releases New Duet “Enough Said” With Aaliyah! Listen Now!

Drake and producer Noah "40" Shebib are reworking some of the late singer Aaliyah's unreleased material. The first song released from that project is "Enough Said" and it is quite good!
The decision for Drake to do this project is NOT sitting well with Timbaland and Missy Elliot, the people who have produced Aaliyah's music in the past and they feel they should be involved with the project.
Timbaland released this statement through Power 105.1 FM:
"I know they are trying to drop some Aaliyah records, but if Drake does it, it should be with me and him and Missy Elliott. I don't know what's going on. The proper way to do that would be for me, him and Missy to be all on the record. For it to be on his record, that would not be right."
Aaliyah tragically died in a plane crash in 2001.
Check out "Enough Said and let us know what U think! Funk it or Dunk it? Should Drake have waited for Missy n Timbaland?-DocFB

Heart-Wrenching Hand-Written “Sleep” Letter By Michael Jackson Pulled From Auction
A letter from Michael Jackson to Lisa Marie Presley where he complains about not being able to sleep has been pulled from auction.
Lisa Marie has not expressed why she wants the letter pulled but it is fairly obvious. Michael Jackson had a problem with sleeping that ultimately led to his untimely death to the drug propofol.
The letter, below, reads;
"Lisa I truly need this rest I haven't slept litterally (literally) in 4 days now. I need to be away from phones and Business people. I must take care of my health first Im' (I'm) crazy for you Love Turd."
Julian's Auction, has pulled the letter. They are the exact same company selling off Elvis Presley's crypt, Lisa Marie's father, and have honored Lisa Marie's request to pull the letter.
She was more than an ex-wife. She was a true friend. Something that Michael didn't really have. It is very cool that she got something so personal from getting out.-DocFB

Sad News As The Twinz Mother Mo Has Passed Away
The Twinz, Maya and Nandy McClean, lost their mother, Maureen Gwendaline Moseley.
The Twinz released this statement regarding her passing;
"As you all know she was our favorite person in the world and we loved her with all our hearts. She was a true living example of unconditional love!!!
Larry Graham's wife Tina Graham said it best, "She's there".
To us "there" is a place we all strive to get to. Of being loving, caring, giving, and gracious. To live how all the greats teach us to live, a life of service to others."
From someone who would see Mo, their mom, at events always with a smile on her face and a dance in her step, this is hard and sad. I can only imagine what it is like for the Maya and Nandy. Maureen took ill last year during Prince's 21 Nights Forum run, and it seemed like she was on the road to recovery. Their mom took ill again and were in Australia to be with her.
Maureen would house homeless children, about 200 in her lifetime. The Twinz also shared this;
"She brought us up telling us to "follow your dreams" and that "anything is possible, just trust in the universe". She allowed us the freedom to be any expression that we wanted to be and loved us unconditionally. We used to call her "The best mom in the whole wide world", and she called us" the best little girls in the whole wide world". For a magical time the 3 of us lived in a one bedroom cabin in the forest and when we'd get into bed together at night we would all say, "This is the best part". Mom truly was the best part and truly, the best part of all of us."
I'm sending heartfelt condolences to The Twinz, Maya and Nandy McClean, the entire McClean and Moseley family and friends. This world is truly a better place because she was in it. Thank you for your smile, your accomplishments, your heart that welcomed people in where they had no place to go. She will always be here...and there.-DocFB
