In these tough economic times, does it make sense for a C-list R&B singer like Solange to take up Djing and rob real DJs of a paid gig? Well, DJs are making their voices heard by complaining to bloggers such as myself. I can’t post their emails because they are in sensitive positions working for radio stations and fear losing their jobs.
Hopefully, Solange will read this post and realize that while she thinks DJing is cute, she is selfishly taking gigs away from real DJs who have families to provide for. Solange can always depend on her sister Beyonce for financial assistance if times are hard. Maybe she should try recording a new album instead of taking the easy route and taking food out of babies mouths?

Solange is a messs. Djing has turned into something that unsuccessful artists get into because they can’t bring in paper doing their art. And Solos a shame to all the other hard-working DJs out there, like The Knowles clan hasn’t enough paper for a decade already. SMH

Doesn’t Bey take movie roles away from actors and didn’t Kelly Clarkson sweep Gwen Stafanie after she won Idol? It’s a dog eat dog world, make your money.
so u r suggesting she take food out her baby’s mouth and be dependent on her sister.
This girl is so annoying I love her music but she’s not getting anywhere because she spends to much of her time defending beyonce on twitter….. And it’s about time she got of social networks and got her ass a JOB
if they are such REAL dj’s they’d have the gigs.. maybe Solange is better. be for real. i’m sure people wouldnt pay her just bc especially if she sucked
Lawd……people always gotta try and make NOTHING into SOMETHING! *smh* Solange, do you boo! Folks need to get a life!

isn’t the old rule of thumb in entertainment to charge LESS so that YOU can get the gig? it’s like big business, i love when a lil known nobody steps in, charging way less…so now the big wigs gotta lower their price, all the while having to step up their games.
you want the job in her place, take it. funny when people be on top they say ‘there’s enough for everybody.’ suddenly, she’s taking food outta their mouths. now if they wanna say that, say it about JD. how or why is there a need for a MUSIC MOGUL, term used loosely, to be on some damn dj tables? EVER
Solange looks a mess lol and if she gotta DJ to put clothes on her son back let her do it…she needs something to occupy her time when she isnt acting a fool on twitter…a mess
Whoever the DJs are needs to quit bishing and step their game up so that they get the gig no matter what their fee is. If they can pay Solange less to play the same damn music then I’d hire her ass too…lol
is today bash the knowles day??? lol
I personally don’t think it’s that serious! If your a really good DJ you wouldn’t be worried about Solange. Who died and gave them the right to say who can and cannot DJ??
Keysha and Fannie shouldn’t take care of their siblings but Bey should take care of hers? Who wants to be TOTALLY dependent on someone *especially a sibling* no matter how much money they have? Do you Solange!!
from Beyonce to her sister DANG sandra get off the Knowles family NUTS and post something worthwhile. Why not post about Tiny and Toya and their karoke nite.
Hey SR family! Newbie here!
I must say thank you all for the e-funerals! Entertainment at its finest!
What’s wrong with Solange’s nails? She needs a fill in
Im sure most of us had a job or a profession that we changed from to do something better right? So im thinking that we are free to do whatever it is that we choose, as long as it’s not killing or hurting anybody she is free to try her hand at being a dj just like anyone else just my opinion though……..
an I don’t believe a DJ sent u no dang e-mail u just don’t like the fam cuz of da stop stalking order they put out on you!!!
People need to WORRY about there own business
!!
Damn if only they spent ass much time worrying about who taking food out of their mouth
!!!
Everyone’s got a right to diversify… Thats like people being mad at Will Smith’s (or any other person with a celeb family member)for acting, since his dad is a 40 Mill man. Some people like to provide for themselves, and if they were “official” DJ’s, they’d already be booked on radio, clubs, XM, etc…
People got to stop hating in 2010
These DJ’s need to shut up and find another side hustle like most people in today’s economy to support their lifestyles… Solange has every tight to pursue any one of her passions and earn income. thanks like saying because I worked in finance I shouldn’t pursue blogging because I’m taking food out of other blogger’s mouths… WTF ever.
Solange I think you’re funny looking and very sensitive for an online thug, but in this instance you do you, who gawn check you boo?!
Sandra wont be satisfied until she get the cease and desist letter
Wow, really??! If these DJs were so good and in demand then they would not have to worry about Solange, or any other “new comer” for that matter.
This is ridiculous. How can you tell someone to stop making money? It is a dog eat dog world out there. Do you think Walmart is saying,”Well let’s not tap into the cell phone business? We don’t want to take money out of Verizon employees’ mouths.” Heck to the naw!
*pops in*
Is today B-day…… BBBBZZZZZZZZ
LEAVE SOLO ALONE SHE ONLY DJ’ING AT BEYONCE’S PARTY AND WHOEVER ELSE WANTS TO PAY FOR HER SERVICES……and if she is cheaper and does the same thing……I would hire her……
And NO one knows the future but the Lord…….So Bey may not be caked up forever and her and bey may not be close forever…..
Good Day all
If Solange can “take” a job away from you wtf does that say about you?

HAPPY EARLY B-DAY!!!!
Ok I disagree, if Solange wants to DJ and make her $$ oh well. That’s life, same way Solo found a new hustle maybe the DJ should also. People obviously like her or they wouldnt be having her do it.
@mirs-Thank YA….. I hope you have my e-gift…..

Wow!! just…wow!! I refuse to believe it is that serious. Go DJ SOLO!!!
But, who is really hiring So Long to DJ????
Lol u all r a trip….Sandra is on a roll today…The poor Knowels clan can’t catch a break w/ u around!!!!
Happy early b-day Missy….have a drink for me!
*back from break*
Oh great. I said not another post about Beyonce, now we get one of her kanye shrugging twitter sister Solo. LOL.
When your birthday izz Missy?
@mirs-How nice of you ……I wonder what she will play…..”Probably the camel mix….the one with the yaki,camel spit and weave”
@Chase-Thank Ya!!!!I will take a sip for you……
she can do what she wants…unless she sucks. then i’d agree with the dj’s lol. i really want to hear her dj
@ Missy
I know your B-day is on the 7th…but
just in case you arent on tomorrow!!!
Sooo…is there a dj school I don’t know about? How is she taking jobs from the “real” djs? If I work as something and then decide I want to switch my career to something else, am I taking jobs from all the “real” (insert random profession here)? I am in noooo way at all a Beyonce (or her family) fan at all…but silly is silly and this is just plain ludicrous
@Sangria-Thanks…..I might not be on tomorrow for real I will be busy…….
@Quitta-My b-day is on Sunday….. :partytime:
I am expecting my e-gift from all….I accept credit cards(j/p)…
If this is for real then these professional DJs need to stop crying and get on they grind. How they look telling someone they need to mooch off their family rather than do something they like!!
They didn’t jump into the DJing business as pros…they had to work at it…cutting other professional DJs profits…just like Solo is doing!! People in glass houses man…
@missy
enjoy
Any way thank y’all for the birthday wishes…… I am out
Thanks Meka….my fellow Aquarius……
and I will enjoy….
Aww Missy sanging “Please don’t go away from meeeee” (Boyz II Men) LOL
Happy Birthday Missy Missy!! Enjoy your day sweetie
Stay steezin on these hethens!
blame the people who hire her….
i mean if she good at what she do, then hell she should get paid…now if she does a ragedy job, then its whoever paid her azz $3500 a show that needs to be ASHAMED
give it up solo! let the real DJs do their thang. Be-yawn-say won’t let little Daniel starve. Besides, weren’t they raised in an “upper class” neighborhood? Maybe she should work in PR. She should have learned a lot from her mishaps in the past lol.
Go DJ! Go DJ! Go DJ!
This just goes to show you what boredom can do to you. This chick don’t have to be DJing anywhere. Its obvious that she is the Jan Brady of the family and she just wants some attention. It aint like she got a man to kick her down some penis and make her feel a little less lonely. Its really pitiful to me. I mean, anyone can download songs from Itunes and call themselves a DJ. She’s thristy for fame. Poor baby. Be ur sister’s assistant or use some of that cheese to open u a business or maybe just go be a mother to ur child and find that dude a step-daddy so he can stop hanging out with ur brother-in-law and his mistress. LOL!!

Why wouldn’t ppl want to hire Sol for DJing, out of curiousity ppl are going to want to attend, she is a household name. She may not get paid as much as the regular DJ’s but that can soon change. It doesn’t seem as if she is trying to make this her bread and butter, I think she is having fun and if she gets a paycheck good for her.
I thought America was the land of the free? Who are they to tell this woman what she can and can’t do to survive and take care of herself and her child? They need to sit down somewhere and get over it! She can’t and shouldn’t depend on Bey to take care of her and her child. She’s a grown woman. Bey makes her own living – Solange has the right to do the same.
i doubt that solange is taking any gigs away from dj’s. it’s not like she plays every club every night.

Sounds like this DJ is bitter as hell that solange is getting hired. There is enough money being made every day so stfu and make yours. Dont tell others what to do especially since this seems to be her passion….whining ass people
LMAO @ this post. Solange can do anything she wants. This is such a hypocritical world? If YOU are encouraging your own kids to live their dreams and they can do what they set their mind to, why can’t she? Solange may not sell alot of albums, but she writes tons of songs for artists, and she is making her money. She writes for her sister, Joss Stone, Kelly, Michelle, and many other artists. If she feels this is something she can do, then I say go for it! DJ’s should not be in fear of losing jobs, because real DJs don’t just play at clubs, they have additional ventures as well.
Bahhh@ more love for the Knowles.
I wonder if Solo is still dating Wale. I like Wale.

Some site was making it seem like Brandy and Flo Rida(not sure if I spelled it right) are dating.
There are other more serious issues in the world, this isn’t all that serious. Last time I checked, Solange is free to do whatever she likes and couple of incompetent DJs crying foul isn’t going to change that..
But Solange looks like a sister from Serengeti with that hair cut.
@ Anna
I think shes having fun and doing her thing too…which is whatsup!
sorta off topic: Isn’t Sam Salter now a DJ in ATL? (you know the dude who made “After 12 before 6”, back in the 90’s). He did my cousins wedding in August and he SUCKED ass…..
on topic: I have some friends who went to the Heat Launch party earlier this week and they said she was descent. She also didn’t stay at the tables the whole night there were others there. But if she’s having fun and making her $3200 or whatever, go for it. I gotta worry about my job, these DJ’s need to up their game if they don’t want a newbie taking theirs.
@Anna, I saw that too. Flo Rida is kinda fine too, for a red dude, that is. I like her with Black Ty though. I want that to happen.
I’m kind of glad I’m not a celeb even though I’d be so fab … Conceitedmuch? Why, yes, I am; we can thank Bey for that
but for real, I would be dating up something, so I could just imagine how I would look to the blogosphere. Very h.oe like :lolol:
@ OutsidetheBox
:lolsign: Gurl…be a celeb & do you!!
And you BETTA be a fashion BOSS and become someone’s muse!!
Is this a real post? Are we being “punk’d?” It just seems so pointless…we are talking about DJing people. Its so easy and emoticon could do it!
See!
I mean really….
@Sangria, oh yeah, trust, I dont care. Ive had countless bfs tell me *in my manliest man voice* “Thats your fu.ck.ing problem. You dont care. You thank you know ery’thang..” LOL
And on the fashion tip, I’m a fool. You can catch me all in the Wal-Mart telling pure-D strangers “put that back; buy this.” Dont know these folks from a can of paint, but I’m helpful like that :lolol:
ROTFL @AKA, I think thas why we went left with the post.
* an emoticon could do it…..I know. FAIL. To the corner for me….see ya!
Why in the heck can’t she try something else out? Damn that’s like when a certain blogger went off on twitter pissed because other bloggers show interest in the same. No field should be monopolized. WTF???? She is also a female which is rare. Hell piss on another tree.
Plus Solo throws parties just to practice her craft. So, GTFOH.

I understand they what privacy but you honestly lose that right when you accept our money at the box office, concerts, buying your cds,etc. Most celebs end up with each others sloppy seconds, Kate Hudson does not date a unknown, too bad, it might last longer if she did. Leonardo DiCapri only dates Victoria Secret Models. yep if you were a celeb you would most like look like a h oe in the blogosphere, and if you weren’t bloggers can make up shyt and have everyone believe it. 
~~~~~~~~
I couldn’t be a celeb, I’d be a depressed one,
Everyone is trying to get their paper. If businesses will pay her to DJ then more power to her. She obviously knows that a recording career just isn’t in the cards for her and she has found something to fall back on. A female version of a HUSTLA!
@ Anna
SangriaSugar Says:
@ Anna
you gotta have crazy thick skin to make it in that business…it will drive you crazy…look at Lindsay Lohan
~~~~~~~
Lindsay is a mess, we don’t see Dina trying to hang out with her now. Dina is trying to push her other two kids down our throats, is fame worth your childs happiness, why doesn’t Dina leak a porn tape so she can be famous/infamous by her own rights, Linsay is so messed up she doesn’t know if she likes the pus or the peen. Britney Spears never heard the word “no” and when she finally did she went crazy. Not worth it to me. I am sure they all love the money, but most are as Sandra says “narsacists”, I think you’d have to be to constantly have a camera following you around where ever you go. Does not sound fun to me.
Its not like Solange will be doing this forever, this is a hobby just like everything else she does. Beyonce’s shadow aint going nowhere… these lame chicks. Someone please put Vicki back in the closet.
How can I change my pic from the baby?
I don’t know about this. Just because she is a singer (well sorta) doesn’t mean she hasn’t been practicing her djing skills. I mean if she’s doing it at parties and we haven’t heard she sucks she must be ok. They need to stop hating and let her eat. She shouldn’t have to depend on someone else to support her.
Sorry, but if I had to choose between Solange or real djs, I’m hiring Solange because she’s going to draw the bigger crowd.
LOL @AKA comment #68.
Anything she decides to do, someone is already doing it. Its crazy to suggest that you she not DJ because other DJ’s are losing gigs. If she decides to do hair like her mother, she should not becuase someone will lose clients? What if she wants to work in a grocery store? If she likes it and she’s good at it, it’s silly to expect her not to do it so someone else can make money.
@Vetta, what makes someone a “real” dj?
