Solange Knowles made her comeback last Fall when she dropped "Losing You" off of her True EP, that will be released on CD and vinyl on Jan. 8. And while she's had music blogs everywhere anticipating her return, she also had some things to say on their credibility.
The 26-year-old singer took to Twitter to release some frustrations on Saturday.
Some of these music blogs could actually benefit from hiring people who REALLY understand the culture of R&B to write about R&B.

Like you really should know about deep Brandy album cuts before you are giving a "grade" or a "score" to any R&B artist.

There are SO many gifted writers who truly understand. Who didn't get hip to R&B & Hip-Hop via the crossover artist of their childhood.

So you can stop acting like it just popped off last year for R&B. Like it just got interesting and experimental.

So you can stop praising every rapper who raps over a trap beat, but can't form literate sentences & then you market it as some hip shit.
