Just like her brother-in-law, Jay-Z, singer Solange Knowles speaks her mind (see her FOX News interview from last week).  Last month, while upset at an apparent lack of acceptance from the majority of the music business (her thoughts, not ours), Knowles released a record entitled F*ck The Industry.  Singing over Kanye West’s Everything I Am instrumental, the Houstonian explained the differences between the industry’s high-profile females, such as her older sister Beyonce, and herself.  A little over a month later, the singer’s opinionated freestyle has resurfaced, but this time around it includes new production from DJ Green Lantern and a guest spot from Interscope labelmate Wale.  Ironically, the 22-year-old released her sophomore album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, last week, selling a paltry 46,000 copies according to Billboard.  We somehow doubt her opinion has changed.

This edge may be enough to release her from sister's shadow; I think that's been here problem the entire time (She sounds like a slightly less vocally talented Beyonce´ often...not always♦)

Ouchhh...46,000? I feel the pain Solange, this industry is F*cked up, Beyonce probably sells 46,000 in her first hour of release. If anyone wants to see what I said about the album, check out my review in the albums section. I give this song props not because I like the production or singing, but because she spoke her mind and let everyone know what's up. An artist being real on the scene is hard to find these days (ex Rick Ross?) so it's good that she does herself. Go girl, LOL.

When I met you last night BABY! DRE!!! I know that sample anyday. This is fire. Solange is much more rough around the edges than her superstar sister. This is a good track 4 the lady.

I really love Solange. She's such a rebel. A-rodhoopdogg, the original vocals were recorded over "Everything I Am" by Kanye West. DJ Green Lantern produced this new beat to put under the vocals. Wale is an upcoming beast. This is so real man. "Rap is impeccable than a woman with mono". C'mon man! Who's touching that. I'm, loving Solange too. Hadley St. Dreams is off the chains and I'm finally glad someone is pointing out the ignorance of the industry. Hopefully Beyonce and her sister will hop on a collab real soon on some real ish like this , featuring Jay-Z getting back to real rapping and not that "Swagger Like Us" nonsense.

Solange just ain't as talented as Beyonce. Solange has to acknowledge the talent disparity. I don't think Solange would win any singing contests or anything like that. But Wale, man, that boy got talent.

Xothermic I don't agree with you...we are used to consider Beyonce as a diva, but sometimes her voice annoyes me, honestly. Solange's one is similar but more sweet...ok, it's less powerful, but someone could prefer it to Beyonce's! The problem is that she will always be compared to her elder sister, she can't avoid this, unfortunately. The production here is very good, smooth and sexy, but the overall song is a bit boring, even though Solange and Wale do their thing! It's in rotation but it wouldn't be among my favs

She's barely made a footprint in the industry and now she's dissing the industry that she's trying to succeed in. What a brat indeed.

I absolutely LOVE the sample to this...Hey Z, It's not the Kanye beat, but from the DR DRE beat from Explosive! They smoothed it out really nice for her. She sounds GREAT on this track too! Wale rips this nice too. This is another DJ BLAZE BANGER!

Blaze, re-read the intro and you'll notice how I mentioned the original version was Kanye's instrumental, but the new Green Lantern remixed version has a new beat. :-)

Alley Al, the difference between "Latoya Jackson" and "Solange Knowles" is that Solange is extremely talented. She just isn't as "famous" as Beyonce. Also, let's get this straight: This production's sample was original used on Dre's "The Watcher", sampled/interpolated on Badu's "Bag Lady" and now resampled/interpolated AGAIN for this new Green Latern production. Sheesh! Keep up people!

Love it! She's not her sister, and she will never will be. She's obviously is sick of ppl comparing the two. She spoke her mind, and said probably what ALOT of others are scared to!

Nice sample of a sampled sample. I like Solange's attitude and Wale is "betta than the rest of 'em." Get familiar with that dude.

Get it Sol-Angel! This is a good track I agree with LeeLee08 she & beyonce are completely different. "People talking sh*t wit no pot to piss in, but everything I'm not is everything I can" She betta speak her mind, she will be a great in her own right, one of these days. 5 stars~(**)~
