I totally have to agree with you.

I also think people like Solange merely because she’s a TINY BIT indie/alt/soul and totally different from her sister Beyonce.

It’s a double-edged sword really.

this is a great cover, i really enjoyed it.

but, am i the only one who feels that solange is no blipster? don’t get me wrong, i hate categories & all– i just feel like solange had no choice but to go in the indie/alt/soul direction. her sister is beyonce, “shallow pop r&b dive” & she can’t be that, so she has to be
this blipster.

i think she shouldnt try so hard.
regardless of all of this, i really enjoyed her cover:)

It sounds like they took the exact same sample and slowed it down a little. Far from being original.

I’ve already heard Solange over the XXplosive sample much much earlier in the year, on the Green Lantern remix of “F*** the Industry (feat. Wale)”.

May not be official, but still goooood:

I liked it, but thought it could’ve used more polish. And like you said, more percussion. The sample was overdone, I thought too. And on some other sites, people said it reminded them of “Bag Lady” from Erykah Badu who use the same sample Dre used.

I mean, the original track is full of bombast. The best part of it, is the pipes. But she’s dead on it’s an R&B track in disguise…so I hope she spitshines it and releases it as a single.

She’s my favorite of the Knowles family. Obviously.
