Solange is gonna surpass Beyonce soon. And I can’t wait. I dreamed I was going to a party at Beyonce’s house last nite. Tracy Jordan was taking me there. And i begged him not to! Anyway- this is fucking awesome. All over that sample that we all know. But WHY WHY WHY can’t i put my finger on where its from? Someone enlighten me. This is the fucking cover of the year. “Isn’t life/ under the sun/ just a crazy dream?”
