New Dream - "One in a Million" (Aaliyah cover)

Recently I've heard guys like Jay Electronica and Theophilus London talking about how hip-hop artists never do cover songs. The genre is too proud and prone to errant claims of beef and dickriding for one artist to really step into the shoes of another. Instead, he'll do a remix.

Countering this convention, Theo covered Tweet's "Oops, Oh My" on his recent "I Want You" tape, and today we get The Dream singing another bedroom r&b classic, Aaliyah's "One In A Million," for his own upcoming mixtape, Love Sessions. Haters can hate, but the result is smooth like the original. 

Come to think of it, why shouldn't there be an entire album of modern artists covering Aaliyah? Someone call the new Dame Dash.
