Beyoncé - "Schoolin' Life"

J.R. Taylor Choreography

In Solange's interview in the Summer 2008 issue of Rap-Up magazine (on newsstands now), she speaks on the burden of being a 'Knowles'. Check out the extract below:



“At this point, it’s starting to hurt me more than help me because my family is sort of known as the new age Huxtables. We’re the clean-cut girls. But I got married at 17, had a kid at 17. Ever since I was younger, I always considered myself to be into more artistic things than [Beyoncé]. People just hear the [Knowles] name and they just put a stamp on it automatically.”




I can understand what she is talking about.  It's extremely hard to break out and have your own career without the caparisons of and older very successful sibling. Just like Ashlee and Jessica, Janet and Mike, and Omarion and Marcus (o.k. I really tried it with that one LOL).... People are going to compare you. It kinda sux because Solange is extremely talented and single "I Decided" is a BANGER!!!! What do you think? Sayit!!!
