Offtopic but... It's 10 years since Aaliyah's death in three days, went to check now that you've mentioned it. It seems like yesterday. So sad.

Yep 10 years went by really fast. When it happened 10 years ago I was nine years old and didn't know much about her. Obviously I knew who she was from seeing her on tv a lot ....but I mainly knew about her because my neighbor who was about 7 was a HUGE fan of her. I actually broke the news to her and she did not believe me at first and thought I was joking.
Since then I've gotten to know her music better and have become a fan
Anyway back on topic. Right now at the top of my list for people I would like to see tribute Amy is Nas. When I brought up Eminem I was only referring to the fact that I am curious to see how he would rap over a beat to one of Amy's songs. Don't worry as much as I am a fan of him I would NOT want to see an actual tribute to Amy from him. Mainly because I doubt they had a close relationship.
So basically my list of musicians to tribute her are
Nas
Adele

Yeah me too... More Than A Woman was big but sadly I hadn't heard very much about her until she passed away. I remember her quite often, I don't know why, think about how well she'd do today. She was such a gorgeous girl, a talented pop star without the aspiring stripper image.
I'd love Ronson and Dionne to make a Brits tribute.
He still stands in spite of what his Mars bar says.

I thought the folks that aren't terribly keen on Kanye might find this amusing.

I dont want Kanye West to make his own Back to Black remake. He killed katy Perry Et song when they did the remix. If kanye wants to make an Amy tribute make your own tribute like GreenDay did. But Amy did call you a cunt 3 times!!

Having Kanye to a cover of Back to Black could be awesome. She loved hip-hop.
I love Kanye but doesn't this say a synthesized version? If not autotune then this means that some how it may not be his real voice. He said he made his 2008 album autotune because he wanted to dedicate it to his mother....and can't sing....so he just did autotune.
But its still weird to imagine a autotune of "Back to Black"
Edit: Also......I just thought about this. Won't it be weird to hear Kanye singing about a guy that kept his "dick wet"

My thoughts exactly. Kanye's just gonna go in with his ego and make it about him.
When/why did Amy call him a cunt?

Yeah that's true!
Amy called Kayne a cunt on the Glastonbury in 2008 before one of her songs. She said that she wasn't a cunt like Kayne, and later on said that kayne next album should be Cunts like kayne or something like that! I think amy didn't like him becuase kayne would always be throwing fits when he didn't won.
Kayne response was "omg Amy Winehouse hates me, I officially made it!!!!!!!"
Me for some reason, I don't like Kayne at all

Kanye is hip hop?
Um yeah he is..your gonna tell me that collab album he had with jay z recently wasn't hip hop?:-S
Also guys can we stop saying that Amy hated Kanye. We don't know what was in her head so I don't know why we are automatically assuming that she hated him.

I think what Amy actually said was "at least I'm not opening for a cunt like Kanye" during Some Unholy War, in reference to the controversy surrounding Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury
Yep. But its kind of strange she said that. Didn't Jay perform just before her? LOL
