Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 http://hiphollywood.com/2016/02/solange-slams-new-york-times-writer-jon-caramanica/ So after the bullshit review, written by Jon Caramanica, that contextualized Gaga and Joanne to the point that it was more about her than her music, I think this article is relevant to understand the kind of "critic" this person is. Solange blasted him by saying, "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." Jon Caramanica responded with this mess, "The only reason that Solange’s success this past year has even been a thing is only because of these same people that she’s lambasting, like there would be no Solange record if the dude from Grizzly Bear didn’t put it out. There would be no Solange interests if all of a sudden people that have not historically been interested in r&b hadn’t decided to pay attention to Miguel and The Weeknd and Drake. So you know, first of all, let’s talk about biting the hand that feeds you. If I was Solange, I would be a little bit worried about that." Solange responded (3 years later) with this: "Don't you EVER tell a Black woman, not to "Bite the hand that feeds you" while speaking in reference to white people. My father "fed me" when he was hosed down and forced to walk on hot pavement barefoot in civil rights marches in Alabama. With all due respect, the people who you named were responsible for my "success" wish they could feed me half of what growing up in 3rd Ward. Houston Texas, fed me." The fact that he even insinuated that an artist would be nothing without the critics is absurd. His career wouldn't even exist without the artists making music that he so shoddily critiques!

T3ARS 4,132 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 He betta not mess with Solange, or he is going to catch some hands and legs. Also, Solange's new album "A Seat at the Table" is on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play. It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
