Solo Takes a Stab at Former DC Member

Solange gets at LeToya Luckett, et al, for supposedly stealing the whole “60’s girl group” idea from her.
She says “i remember being n Idaho 4 years ago, pulling out all my old Martha& the Vandellas, Marvelettes and Supremes records,coming up with a vision wanting to create a new age 60’s girls group and modernize it. started working on soul-angel finding 2 girls and watching old shows. this was before amy winehouse so people thought i was truly bugging out. i did i decided wiith the two girls..watched about 25 old shows of all the girl groups and asking my sis to help me come up with moves ( she had just done dreamgirls) worked my but off on references…after i did i decided alot of folks were digging it but alot of folks thought were confused about “the look” now every which a way i turn..everyone is in a 60’s girl group reference. its like traditional r&b again to do the 60’s sound, look ect.
Here’s LaToya’s video for Not Anymore, the inspiration for Solange’s rant.

I like Solo but you can’t call someone else out for biting when…well, that’s the definition of what you did. You wouldn’t be able to have a ‘60s girl group sound if there weren’t, you know, girl groups in the ‘60s who did it first. I’m just saying.
