Solange’s Inspiration

Solange on Beach00

Checkout these whimsical self-portaits of Solange at the beach. She opens up on her Myspace blog and credits Kanye for her inspiration:

I read a quote from kayne west the day i made the drive out to the beach. He said something about only doing things that made him happy (dont quote me) he said he didnt care when he made the flashing lights video that other people may not like it. I say go Kayne! I feel that way:)

Apparently she’s feeling pretty grateful for the support of her fans of her single “I Decided” too:

‘”There have been hundreds of thousandths people who have heard it and so many of you have shown quite a keen reaction.’”

Except for the fact that she needs a little grammar tutoring (thousandths???), it seems that Solange is in good spirits these days. Judging by the way she looks in these pics, we wonder if she isn’t toking on that kush.

    TOP TEN!!!!!!! SHE’S TRYING AT SOMETHING SHE LIKES. GIVE HER A BREAK.

  • Just Sit and Be Pretty

    She seems to be a bit of a free spirit…which is endearing. Ya know, imagine having to live under your big sister’s shadow while trying to carve out an identity/career for yourself. I’m sure she feels pressured from lots of different angles…not as photogenic as B, but looks like she’s having fun *see, darn, I made a comparison without even meaning too*

    Hey cage…it just hit me that you are the same guy that had this really “professional” looking pic up months back when we were complaining about not getting any money back from Bush’s stimulus plan…then the same guy with the “smoke” that I asked about and now this.

    LOL, I totally didn’t recognize you from the 2nd pic, but just now, a bell went off…*ding,ding,ding* :-)

  • ms. y

    lmbo@ raven…good eye!!

  • Vinandi

    I concur with most of the comments above!

    I also reckon nothing would annoy Bey more than her sis becoming successful! so I think a Support Solange Campaign ( SCC) is the way to go!!!

    and if she blazes the chronic, even better ! You go Sol!!

  • Just Sit and Be Pretty

    BTW, loving all the grammarians in the room. :-)

    @ mojo

    its a very english expression- used when someone is really trying hard, but not doing so well!

  • MissT

    Solange will always be in her big sister’s shadow, go take care of your child, Next….

  • valenne

    i am sorry but why would Beyonce would be annoyed if her own sister become popular. We all know, it is not going to happen, wether she has talent or not, her father would not promote her +, she is not doing pop music so she would not be able to attract as many fans as her sister. However, even if she does, why Bee would be annoyed. Its her sister????

  • soulwoman

    Whatever Solange. She tries to hard. She is always trying to prove how she is different and free…yada, yada, ya. If that’s the way you are then be that way. She obviously feels the need to impress and be important because she is always explaining herself.

    I’m sure she read the quote on this blog being that she quoted the exact part of the article it came from that was posted here.

  • Lauren

    Move over Bey! Here comes your lil Sis, Go Solange!

  • kai

    That girl needs some dick in her life or sum…that is stupid what shes doing lol..at least beyonce might be getting some big dick…geeze beyonce gets EVERYTHING and solange gets NOTHING lol..but then again, jay z is camel ugly lol…

  • valenne

    that was for Vinandi!

    Personnaly, ilike solange, i like her vibe, i like her soul! and i think she is as such as talented as her sister, she is just not as thick and as beautiful as her sister to some of U but she is to me!

  • valenne

    damn, i hope solange does not read this blog!!!

    But it was probably an answer to people who dislike her?? She makes whatever makes her happy and she does not try hard! Her sister in others way do everything she can to be everywhere so who tries hard!

  • ~*~IslandNik~*~

    shes so cute…

    but her ass shouldve stayed in school… seriously.. or atleast take a page from beys book n not go bloggin.. id cry if beyonce started that ish.. what grade did these beautiful talented ladies go up 2??

  • Trusted Source

    @KAI – YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE SMOKE, EAT OR HAVE OTHER HABITS THEY DO AFTER SEX. MAYBE HERS IS TAKING PICTURES. LIKE LOOK AT ME GLOW BIATCHES!!!!!!! LMAO. IM JUST SAYING THOUGH.

  • sit yo five dollar azz down before i make change

    out of all theh knowles girls [kelly included - matthew you need to fess up] i like solange the bessess!

  • Vinandi

    @ Valenne

    cause if she really wanted her sis to succeed I reckon she’d be more supportive re; pushing Papa knowles to promote her better etc., giving her tips etc.. also cause I think sibling rivalry is alive and kicking!

    anyways I doubt she will succeed- I feel sorry for her- but hey she’s still richer than I am so screw it!!!

  • Raven

    @??? (the non-identity?)

    “thousandth” is a fraction of 1: as in, 1/1000. Thousand is 1000. Am I missing something?

    Thousandths would be used generally during informal conversation: i.e. “23 thousandths or a second.”

    While incorrect, it is in the dictionary.

    Unlike “greatful,” which is just plain ign’ant.

  • Vinandi

    anyways goodnight all- London signing off!

  • valenne

    @ vinandi,

    yes i would love to record album that did not sell and still be able to live the good life.

    However, i refuse to think thatthey don’t love each other! they are sisters and they have nobody else. It ‘s not like they have a big family!!

  • bree

    in the 1st thumbnail the pic is reminiscant of Aaliyah..eerie..

    who is Kayne?.. and y’all need an english tutor as well.. GREATFUL????

  • Daone

    I think she looks FABULOUS. She has that Diana Ross thing going on with her eyes (1st row middle pic). I never thought she was cute before b/c she was trying to look like Bey and Tina. But girl, get your bedroom eyes on! I must admit, I like the “I just puffed” look on people.

    Now the promo pics, with the orange lipstick is a bit much. She should take her own pics from now on! Work Biaaatch! (two snaps..courtesy of Ms. Jay ;)

  • LovelyLady

    Bottom line, Solange would be considered “all of that” if she wsnt Beyonce’s sister. Just like Jermaine and Micheal..Jermaine can sing but Micheal had that extra so all the attention flows that way.

    Life is like that,dsnt make it right just makes it life

  • beautiful b

    i heard solanges album was actualy gonna be good. she is on a whole diff neo soulish vibe, i hope it works for her. cause if she steps into R&B she will def be compaired. people thought ashley simpson wasnt gonna be about anything…and she is way bigger and yes more succesful then her tweedle dumb sister.

  • beautiful b

    ooh. excuse the typos..iam aware of the grammar war being launched today :)

  • Rotex

    She looks fine in these pics!

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    she’s lookin pretty cute for someone who doesn’t have a job

  • Lossip Says….

    She would of gotten alot further if she wasn’t Beyonce’s sister.

  • Z

    the green picture scared me….

  • valenne

    lol @ z

    you have your pictures finally!!

    you look like a teatcher with those glasses!

  • Raven

    @beautiful b

    The thing with Ashlee that annoys the ish out of me is that she’s a really bad singer. (SNL anyone?) And if you hear any of Jessica’s singles, you can tell she’s got the chops. Besides, Ashlee’s totally a poseur. She’s like the epitome of diluted Emo.

    Plus, Ashlee’s big because her record was pop-rock, which was hot and New at the time. So, Solange is gonna have to hit the industry at a time when her genre coincides with what’s hot and New in order for her to be big.

    B’s nearly at legendary status at this point. When we see one of those best of the 2000s on VH1 in a few years, you better believe they’ll be praising her like she’s the new Messiah.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Boy shush, she can’t look decent. What does that have to do with being umemployed

    lol @ you.

  • Madam”O”

    Solange = Boring + Average = Who Cares?

  • Raven

    I think she’s pretty . I agree with that the OTHER Raven said about pity.

    I hope she does well. Can be rough growing up in someone else’s shadow.

    I used ot feel sorry for Kelly and Michelle but when everyone went solo and nobody rose to the challenge BUT Beyonce,..I thought to myself well–hell Beyonce is the hungriest. If these heffas want to lay in her shadow that’s them…

    Even now Kelly is just sitting on her damn album. It’s actually pretty alright but I confess. I don’t like that little airy voice of hers. She always seems like she’ll be overpowered by the the acoustics.

    Michelle…is a hot mess. The songs on her gospel album were good–her voice was not. Every song I was hoping Beyonce would push her outta the way and sing.

  • Lisalisa

    Reading is fundamental. Phonetically, if you pronounce Kanye’s name, you can tell that it CANNOT be spelled KAYNE.

  • Lisalisa

    *THAT WAS FOR sOLANGE

  • and another one…

    This broad bores the hell outta me

  • HOTSTUFF

    I love her last two promo pics an her first two beach pics…nice and ecletic…I think the name of her album should be “E-Trip” b/c that’s what I think she’s on…some next ish…

    I am digging her sound this time around tho..

  • Raven

    @Raven

    I used ot feel sorry for Kelly and Michelle but when everyone went solo and nobody rose to the challenge BUT Beyonce,..I thought to myself well–hell Beyonce is the hungriest. If these heffas want to lay in her shadow that’s them…

    EXACTLY. I’m not a B stan. But I do appreciate how she clearly puts her heart and soul into her songs, performances, and acting (although she’s been mediocre in the last category and hasn’t pushed the envelope with her music as much as she should be).

  • I’m Just Me

    IN LIKE TWO OF THESE PIC SO LONG ACTUALLY LOOKS DECENT….AND IN THE REST :(

  • Your Momma’s Baby Daddy

    She’s just another pretty face the only thing intresting about her is she is BEYOUNCE’s lil sis other than that WHO CARES>>>>???????

  • SIDEWAYS

    It does look ike she was smoking buds in the pictures. You must me high to take digital self portraits.

  • MDS

    YAWN

  • KSH

    It would do her some good the spell “KANYE” correctly – it’s not “KAYNE”

    Come on Solange.

  • Aoki Lee

    Bey grabbed up all the “beautiful” genes in that family leaving none behind for poor Solange.

    Her googly eyes disturbs me.

  • Kym G

    >>>>>>>>> I guess I can’t really say she is trying to look like Beyonce, considering they are sisters and all and they should look alike, however, those other pictures are an utter waste of film.. SHE APPARENTLY HAS FAR TOO MUVH TIME ON HER HANDS<,, It’s she a mother.. She needs to keep them God Dam Babies out the street!

  • Vette

    What has Solange done to deserve the type of play she gets? Has she ever had a hit record! She was in that straight to video Bring it on part 5! She was also in a movie with Vanessa Williams and Bernie Mac (the true stars of the movie) I don’t get it! Nor, do I get your fasination with her none existant career!

  • SIDEWAYS

    @ KYM G…. you must have listened to KMEL this morning LOL …..keep them God Dam Babies out the street!

  • Raven

    @ Kym G

    He’s not on the street.

    That baby of hers has a Mexican raising him and you know it.

  • TRESA

    get over it ! You will NEVER make it. stay in Bey shadow, you look better there.

  • soulwoman

    If Solange didn’t care about what people say about her she wouldn’t feel the need to publicly respond to all the comments that’s made about her. She is always posting an essay after she read or heard something about her written in print.

  • Frog-a-licious

    She looks pretty.

  • Raven

    Are any of these f’ing blogs run by Black people?

  • prisseme

    solange has all the resources to make herself successful. She needs to find something to do to define Solange. Beyonce has conquered singing, acting, entertaining and fashion and she’s very good at it. Solange needs to find something that she is good at so Solange can be happy, define who Solange is and make money for her and her son – grow up Solange. Having a child does not make you an adult.

  • Kym G

    That’s like Beyonce’s little sister, she’ll never be able to come out of the shadown of that big ole’ booty and set of lungs..

    you might be right about the Mexican Nanny.. though you know they from Texas an all…

    I wish I could go to the beach and daydream all day about my make believe career.. I guess thats what her and Kelly do all the time ..

  • I cant say…

    Apparently she’s feeling pretty greatful for the support of her fans of her single “I Decided” too:

    ‘”There have been hundreds of thousandths people who have heard it and so many of you have shown quite a keen reaction.’”

    Except for the fact that she needs a little grammar tutoring (thousandths???), it seems that Solange is in good spirits these days. Judging by the way she looks in these pics, we wonder if she isn’t toking on that kush.

    “greatful”??? Oh, the irony……… Can I get a spell-check on line 3!?!?!?

  • NuAgenda

    I only like the first set of natural looking pictures she has there.

  • Solonge Fan

    I like Soloange. I feel she is truly beautiful on the inside and out.

    I meant Solange. HEHEHE :-)

    Thank you.

  • Mali

    baby gurl needs to trim those brows!

  • Toodles

    Solange looks so perrrty in these pics. I love the gal and love how she is always with her baby! Seems like a good mom! And I look forward to hearing music from her. People always wanna hate on the girl but many of you would love to be in that position!

  • Toodles

    priss me.. you need to go somewhere with all that “she needs to” she can do what she pleases..there are hundreds of celeb kids who follow in their parents or siblings footsteps..she was right the bey growing up and getting a taste of music and the industry..i suggest you do you and she will do as she pleases..she has the resources as you said and doesnt have to do anything ..she could be living of her sister, but she is making a name for her..stop with all the hate

  • K-ten

    i cant see how she can see Kanye as an inspiration if he’s been stealing images and music from other people without them agreeing.

    whatever girl.

    as far as kanye, whatever to him too, no true musician steals copyrighted things and and gets threatened to go to court twice about it AND ended up settling the first time..i digress, but thats no true musician.

  • Wenzel Dashington

    @Sit

    Yeah, Solange could do a Left-Eye and do some kooky self promotion.

    She took those photos inside a room with a beach view. You can see the reflections. Interesting…

    For what? And which Raven LOL?

    Wenzel Dashinton

    DEAD at your new gravie!!!!

    im luving it. he always looked like a smoker to me though.

  • Nesh Nesh

    That statement Kanye made about being with what you do…etc…inspired me as well. I’m not an artist, but it doesn’t have to apply only to an artist. In just living life everyday as an average person, celebrity, etc., one needs positive quotes to get them by. As far as Solange, I’m beginning to like her more these days. I like how she is far-fetching her ability to be different from her sister because I’m sure it has been difficult living in Beyonce’s(rolling eyes) shadow. That has got to be tough. So you go girl @ Solange!!!

  • Nesh Nesh

    **Correction: I meant to say “That comment Kanye made about being happy with what you do…”

  • misspetite82

    Just sit and be pretty you look like you standing up and ugly lol…love you solange look at all these hater trying to tell U how to run your life its hiliarious to me.

    jjj you a hater like the rest of these hoes! Hoe sit down and pray your kid ever amounts up to have of solo….Damn Im not even a big fan of hers but the truth must be told

  • amber86

    Her pics without all the makeup look a lot better.

  • He’s Presidential

    The thing about Solange is you may not like her music but at least she can show her personality whether she writes grammatically correct or not. I mean do you guys/gals write everything in your myspace or anything that you write the first time without proofreading it first. C’mon honest mistake except for spelling Kanye’s name wrong. We still don’t know anything about Beyaki she doesn’t open herself up to her friends without it seeming like her PR person wrote it first.

  • Celebrity CSI

    Contrary to popular belief, Solange is not in anybody’s shadow except her own. Please…R Kelly has sisters & brothers and I ain’t seen nann album. lol Just because someone is famous does not mean that’s your niche. I hope her new endeavors will turn out for the better. I’m liking the 2 singles she’s dropped because they are actually good songs, that’s all. I know this chick get sicka everybody comparing her to her more famous sister. I have a sister and we are different but we got mad love for ea. other, straight up and we fight. But if you were to fight her or say ONE word out of line, your head gon be gold as Rrah’s. Please believe it….” lol

  • Celebrity CSI

    By the way, I like that yellow eyeshadow and matte lipstick. I wonder if I would look like a fool if I tried that….lol

    ….on 2nd thought,that might not be my niche. lol

  • uhhhh

    she looks like a man

  • Radio Active

    She looks like a big can of poison to me.

  • RavenLoren

    lol @ CYNDI:

    Solange =Jan Brady

    u wrong for that…

  • Lex

    lol Okay how can you talk about someone’s grammar when you spelled “grateful” as “greatful” lol People kill me…

  • Don’t mind me

    I can’t see whats wrong with what she said or how she looks. Is it just her immediate association with bey that makes her a target?!

  • 21

    sigh.!!!!!!!!!! yawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,,,,,,,,,,,, plz go take care of your baby zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • ADubs

    Maybe she really meant thousandths??? As in she has less than 1% fan base…

  • Stormy

    Speaking about education that is not how you spell grateful!

  • shake dat booty meat

    I wish her success with her future endeavours…
