    She is not cute to me. Its something about her

  • Celebrity CSI

    I hope her project does what it does. This sounds cool as well her last joint.

  • Princess Me

    Until she saif “I promise I am not High” I was gonna give it a pass at the most.

    Now that you are a Mother your life should be all about elevating, DRUGS are for LOSERS.

  • Princess Me

    Correction Until she Said ….typo

  • so 510 bay

    she kinda look like kelly in this pic

  • Just Sit and Be Pretty

    LOL, not this pic again…her tights with the polka dotted shoes are blinding!! :-)

  • Jd

    Not bad….

  • Kevin

    @so 510 bay,

    You from the Bay? Cool – M-Daddy and Me from the Bay too.

    Anyhow, yeah, she looks like Kelly’s (I have new titties now) ass.

    All these females need to just stop and get a new make over curtesy of P. Diddy.

    I mean, look what he did for Danity Kane! :)

  • Just Sit and Be Pretty

    M-Daddy, I think she’s cute, but compared to her big sis, I think it’s clear who got a bigger dose of “pretty”. :-)

  • so 510 bay

    @ kevin

    yea im from the bay… east bay actually, lol

  • Kym G

    This trick thinks she is the African American answer to Amy Winehouse.. well I say NO NO NO!!!

    @Kevin

    @M-Daddy,

    There is no comparison when it comes to her and her sister. She looks like she is supposed to be cute but just couldnt pull it off

    Blood, for real! The good look gene tried for a hot minute then figured it was too much work to look like big sis.

    @so 520 bay,

    Yeah, I’m in Hayward.

    @so 510 Bay,

    My bad!!!

    @Kevin

    LOL Real talk playa

  • http://www.raiders.com BROTHER M-DADDY OAKLANDS FINEST (ALL SHADES OF BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL)

    @ Kevin

    I was in Hayward Saturday and Sunday at my big cousins house

  • Just Sit and Be Pretty

    M-Daddy…”There is no comparison when it comes to her and her sister. She looks like she is supposed to be cute but just couldnt pull it off.”

    LOL, don’t make me choke on my pistachios. :-) It really must be hard when you have a celebrity sister who’s really gorgeous and you’re just perceived as okay. Reminds me of Jessica’s Simpson’s younger sis, Ashlee, who did a complete makeover, got all knifed up and still isn’t as cute as big sis.

    LOL She looks like she has a touch of down syndrome

  • Lili

    …definitely liked the beat.

  • Just Sit and Be Pretty

    Oh my…I don’t mean any harm…but that song SUCKS!!!! I’m not even sure what to say, and the “I’m not high” comment at the end…WTH? Ummm, I’m thinking she should have stayed on the acting track, she wasn’t too bad in the Johnson Family Vacation movie. I think she’ll have even less success than Kelly and Michelle with her music career, no matter what Papa Svengali Knowles tries.

  • Just Sit and Be Pretty

    LOL @ M-Daddy, or like I say…”one chromosome away from special”.

  • Don Suave

    I can feel this song. Ya girl would be cute but it’s obvious she took after her pops in that catergory(face and body). But hey for an rappers who know they cant get bey..Solange may be in their range. The song is hot but the industry ain’t gone give it the right push right now.

  • Don Suave

    You know she writes for kelly ,too. the family is talented, but she should stay behind the scenes.

    @ Just Sit and Be Pretty

    LOL @ M-Daddy, or like I say…”one chromosome away from special”.

    LOL Yeah it looks like if her mother had some drinks while she was pregnant with her she would surely be on the Yellow bus with a orange helmet on.

  • Certain

    This actually sounds nice. But I’m disappointed. If Jill Scott hand sung this, it would have been 10x better. But oh well, this version will have to do.

  • Kevin

    @M-Daddy,

    Hayward is a joke bruh, but it’s cool for now.

    But the Town is off the chain with all the shootings and all. I’m just trying to stay out the way, thats why I moved to Antioch

  • Kevin

    Speaking of this “I want to look like my big sister” sydrome,

    Solange and Ashlee Simpson simply can’t do it. Ashlee Simpson took the sh*t to a whole nother level though and the sh*t still didn’t work.

    Ever wonder why Jennifer Lopez’ sister just said eff it?

    Serena Williams – please don’t try to look pretty for us anymore – Venus does look better.

    When you need to spend 5 hours getting your hair sewn in, and your face put on, that takes effort and I’d rather just look ugly in real life than to have people accidently see me at the store with no make up and hair on and be like…..

  • Kevin

    @M-Daddy,

    Bruh, Antioch ain’t no better though :) N*gga’s out there be on that sh*t, geekin’ shootin’ mutha f*cka’s at BART.

  • none-ya

    @ Certain:

    I agree. Right song, wrong singer.

  • http://www.raiders.com BROTHER M-DADDY OAKLANDS FINEST (ALL SHADES OF BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL)

    @Kevin

    @M-Daddy,

    Bruh, Antioch ain’t no better though N*gga’s out there be on that sh*t, geekin’ shootin’ mutha f*cka’s at BART.

    _____________________________________________________

    Trust me dawg I know. verybody migrated out there, its crazy. You got Richmond, East Palo Alto, Sac, and of course Oakland cats all movin out there. Its tryin to be off the hook. when I irst moved out there I got into it with some Frisco dudes, and they was youngstas. I dont look my age so they thought I was aroun there age. Man I’m too old to be fightin but I didnt back down.

  • crazy black lady

    why did God bless Beyonce with beauty and talent gave poor Solange nothing!

  • simmonsgirl

    why do people hate on people like solange who has REAL TALENT AND CAN ACTUALLY SING….but get all excited when Rihanna has a post and claims the 5-head alien is going places……the music industry isn’t the same…we need more ppl like Solange

  • lanette

    i like the song….it is different…and different in music is a great thing…

  • solizzay

    i love all of solanges new material and im looking forward to her new cd. i dont see why people say shes trying to be like amy winehouse.. who doesnt smoke weed nowadays? since when did drugs only be an amy winehouse thing.. and as far as her copying amy winehouse.. solange is doing an old school/neo-soul type of thing with her new music.. since when did that become amy winehouses trademark. plenty of people have done “amy’s” type of music.. eh idk. i think some of yall are reachin but props to both amy & solange.

  • dee

    this song is so doooope. but i do not like her voice at all. i don’t know, but something is wrong with it. i think she sounded better on her first effort… it’s like she’s trying too hard to sound different.

  • Win or Loose

    Everybody need to really give this girl her props. She is a go getta.. Despite her sisters shine and beauty she keeps it moving being different having her own style and sounds regardless. She is a very ambitious young lady will blow because she wont stop. Do you thing babygirl.

  • Tiffany

    i like it…sounds “neo-soulish”

  • Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    The music from the song sounds so familiar… like she sampled it from another song– I just can’t think of which song right now. ( I hate when I have a brain block )

    It’ll come to me though…

  • always in something

    THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY BUT I TURELY THINK THAT BEYONCE NEEDS TO KEEP A EYE ON SOLAGE INSTEAD OF RIHANNA BECAUSE LATELY I’VE BEEN HEARING THAT SOLANGE AND JAY-Z HAS BEEN HAVEING DRINKS TO GATHER AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE GRAMMYS PICTURES FOR THIS YEAR ON THE INTERNET YOU CAN FIND THEM SITTING CLOSE

    TO GATHER MAKING JOKES NOW I’M NOT TRYING TO SAY THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON BUT COME ON SOLANGE ASS JUST LOST HER HUSBAND WHAT MAKES BEYONCE THINK THAT SHE WONT TRY TO BANG JAY-Z’S DICK TO MAKE UP FOR ALL THE TIMES WHEN SHE TOOK HER SPOT LIGHT

  • Rotex

    Im feeling the song!

  • Rotex

    @ M-DADDY

    Waddup man! The comment you made about Solange having a touch of down syndrome is pretty deep, lol!

    Anyway solange is aite to me.

  • C.C.

    Well…..she can’t sing, but I do like this song. Go SOSO!

  • TEEDY

    Y’ALL ARE TRUE HATERS. SHE CAN’T SING ABOUT HERSELF??? WHY NOT??? IN LIFE THE RIGHT TO SELF IS ONE OF THE ONLY TRUE THINGS WE HAVE. WHATS WRONG WITH SMOKING WEED??? IT IS ONE OF THE ONLY DRUGS THAT WON’T KILL YOU LEGAL OR ILLEGAL. READ A BOOK. SHE WANTS TO SING. SHE HAS A NICE VOICE. HER FAMILY HAS THE MONEY TO HELP HER LIVE HER DREAMS. GOD I WISH I HAD THE MONEY TO HELP MY FAMILY TO DO THE THINGS THEY DREAM OF. LIFE IS ABOUT TRYING TO BE AS HAPPY AS YOU CAN BE WHILE YOUR STILL HERE. GET SOME JOY PEOPLE YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY HER SHYT BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO HATE ON IT EITHER. SHE DOES NOT SOUND LIKE SHE IS TRYING TO BE AMY TO ME WHERE DID Y’ALL GET THAT FROM??? THE SONG IS ABOUT HER TRYING TO BE HERSELF.

  • T. Williams

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Its Spring we need something upbeat and that is not a good idea for a first single.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re

    Hey, this actually ain’t bad. The producer did a good job…

  • Wu

    I like this track because it’s not perfect. We’re so used to viewing celebs as attempting to have everything perfect in the entertainment world. She’s living her reality. Little sister of a super star who is finding her place in life as a mother, and artist from the aftermath. She’s using her advantages like anybody else would. She’s grown a lot. She’s real. You have to respect that.

  • HOTSTUFF

    I’m feeling this song and the “Champagne Chronic Nightcap” looking forward to her album hope it’s good!!

  • http://same jay

    i guess, if you say,, she living her dream, she really needs to wake up, the song sounds like a basment demo, and she sounds like she is reading the words! she needs more time to wk. on herself

  • Sababy

    i dont like it.

  • CRYSSTYLE

    I REALLY LIKED IT! IT WAS SMOOTH… SHE IS GOING INTO HER OWN IDENTITY AND AS FOR THE WAY SHE DRESSES SHE LIKES TO BE DIFFERENT…SHE LIKES CRAZY SHOES AND COLORS SO THAT IS HER SIGNATURE. I ACCEPTED IT AS AN ARTIST..ITS LIKE OUTKAST!

  • valenne

    OMG,

    You guys are really mean, i swear! You keep comparing her to her sister for god sake! Would you like if someone telling you, go sit your ass down, i just want to talk to your sister or your brother? Wouls you like to be comapred to your own family and saying that god bless your sister or brother but not you???

    Damn, i hope all of you are going to have only cute kids because i would sure tell them they are uglier than the other kids if i could !

  • http://site.gravatar.com/ Dixon_Girl

    I LIKE IT.

  • Crazy Ass Rodney

    HeY Solange!!! Take off them damn stockings!

  • James

    Solange is doing her own thing. Trying to separate herself as an individual. Of course, she is supposed to take full advantage of the opportunities that she has been given. Like, having a sister named Beyonce, a brother-in-law by the name of Jay-Z, and parents like Matthew and Tina. Why fault her for that. I have always felt she was her own self. Not trying to be like Beyonce. Hell, all she has to do is dial 7 digits and guess what? She can physically talk to BEYONCE. Not to many people can do this. She demonstrates individuality. Being different from her sister. And, I think she has succeeded. I like the joint. Needs some tweeking but it’s okay. Maybe she thought by putting in and I am not high would appeal to a larger sector. Afterall, weed is alright. I mean good. I love it. Wish I could smoke some of that good shyt with them. I do agree though with one thing. It is okay to have your own style but damn, come on. You are filthy rich and can afford better rags. Granted, what she has on probably cost a grip but it is ugly. I think it is those stockings and shoes. Maybe had she chose a different look it would have worked. I am a native TEXAN so with that being said, they have it going on. I think it is cruel to say she wasn’t Blessed. Oh,…..but she was and is. Think about it. Successful Family, a child,Yachts, mansions, millions, fame, unlimited access to Beyonce,…..Bey yall. I think Bey should have kept some of the looks she has had in her videos and movies. Beyonce is my girl and I wish I could meet her one day. Jay-Z and Solange, and Kelly and Michelle too. They are doing their own things. They are not supposed to be alike. Duh… I wish her much, much success in her endeavors.

  • Chocolatepeach

    I like it. It has a Neo Soul feel. I didn’t expect it but I like it.

  • Y

    this is hot! i just wonder if she wil *uck it up if she sings it live…

  • Danielle

    I REALLY LOVE THE UNIQUENESS. GO SOLANGE!

  • devanise5884

    she sounds kind of like teirra marie.

  • http://squeaky228@hotmail.com kiea27

    solange the only thing nice about u is your name but i like u still i cant stand your sister

  • And…

    Maybe it’s just me, but I just wish people the best.

    If you’re gonna smoke crack, be the best crackhead and get as high as you can.

    If you gonna be gay, be the tightest & most gay sweetie in the get booty crew.

    It’s average at best…as long as she don’t knock on my door singing to me I’m fine.

    If she keeps it to a minimum maybe she’ll do well…I’m tired of gyrating, tits & ass.

    If you can’t sing – do like Solange. Be still & sing.

  • Juris

    James: Wow, what a groupie! Your comments are as incoherent as you are. Talk about a run-on sentence of nothing!

  • b

    I like Solange, she can write and although she doesnt sound like beyonce she ccan sing…go gir…

  • groupies

    ya’ll some groupies solange got way better songs than beyonce.

  • April Glover

    That was HOT…She has her own sound goin on…I like it…

  • Sassy Vicky

    Hated it!!! And I would have to agree with the people up top, Solange is not attractive.

  • LadyChi

    I Like it..it is smooth…and grown…at least she is finding out were she wants to be in music..I give her props..People will hate…but that is all good..Go head girl..and do you..

  • Rjones

    Love it!

  • mjones0166

    Love it! She is a greate songwriter, singer and I love her look. I wish people would stop putting her down so much, but I guess that is what people do when your doing things right.

  • Jacob

    Correction: I didn’t mean to call Fantasia the best singer of our time… What I meant that she is certainly the best singer of the yng generation
