Matthew Knowles and Solange are set to launch a ‘hip-hop toy line’ or ‘hip-hop toys’:

Mathew Knowles’ Music World Entertainment has partnered with Planet Toys to launch Baby Jamz, the first-ever hip-hop/rhythm-inspired pre-school toy line — and new mom Solange Knowles will give the products a voice. Mathew Knowles admits Solange’s son Juelz helped inspire the new line.

He says, “Many children love music and dancing to hip-hop, so we have creatively combined great toys with the hip-hop versions of popular nursery rhymes. “My grandson, Juelz, was the inspiration for this idea and I am especially excited that most of the nursery rhymes are sung by my daughter, Solange.”

You know little Juelz is not allowed to read at the crib and gets his little ass beat for not practicing on some music. I can hear a loud voice now, “damn it, put that fu*kin book down little boy and get over here on your little stage.” This move is good because Solange can feel important.

Matthew Knowles won’t return the phone calls of The Boston Globe newspaper who ran a story on Beyonce’s camp marking up good concert tickets near the stage 300-400% and selling them online.

Via Boston Globe:

Some of the best seats for Beyonce Knowles’s 37-city summer tour, including an Aug. 12 Boston show, are being auctioned on a website that caters to ticket scalpers. Most of the tickets for the pop star’s performance at the TD Banknorth Garden are on sale through Ticketmaster, which has an exclusive contract with the Garden to sell its tickets. But a small number of seats near the stage are up for auction at much higher prices on StubHub, the San Francisco-based online marketplace for ticket resellers. Officials connected with the Beyonce tour and StubHub declined to comment on the ticketing arrangement.Music industry officials say tour revenue has become increasingly important as CD sales have declined in recent years. Some artists have tried selling tickets directly to the public, bypassing promoters, concert venues, and ticket companies, selling seats to the highest bidder.

Ticketmaster, the nation’s domi nant ticketing firm, sued StubHub in April for interfering with Ticketmaster’s exclusive contracts to sell tickets at many US concert venues. A Ticketmaster spokeswoman declined to comment on the Beyonce ticket situation.In an interview last week, Mathew Knowles , Beyonce’s father and manager, said he didn’t know how concert tickets for his daughter’s tour ended up on StubHub. Knowles said he would investigate, but since then has not returned phone calls. Continue »

According to media reports, Solange is planning to take over “Knowles Inc.” in five-years:

Beyoncé Knowles’ sister Solange is to take over as the pop superstar’s manager once their father Mathew Knowles steps aside in five years time. Solange, who has enjoyed pop success of her own, has revealed she’s the heiress to the music mogul’s MusicWorld empire, which also includes a record label.The pretty 20-year-old explains, “In five years I’ll be answering those calls. I’ll be the president and CEO.” In the meantime, talented Solange, who has also acted in a string of movies, is busy pitching songs she has written to stars like Reba McEntire and Celine Dion.

The music industry has a lot of look forward to. This Knowles family will be saturating the game through future generations. Lil Daniel probably is getting his Knowles game together right now with a little microphone.

Tina Knowles to baby Daniel: Boy, you better put down that book before I beat your ass, go pick up that microphone.
