Letoya Luckett's Mixtape and Does Faith Evans Listen to "The Breakthrough"

| 223 Comments

While Keyshia Cole and Young Jeezy try to be the new Kelis & Nas, let's turn our attention to Letoya Luckett. Letoya is one of the original girls from Houston's Destiny's Child that Beyonce kicked out the group just before the "Say My Name" video hit airwaves.

After struggling, Letoya is now signed to Capital and has some shit to get off her chest. Once you're done checkin' up on Beyonce, Letoya believes "All Eyes on Me" featuring Slim Thug and Pall Wall is worth a listen.

Also check out her mixtape. It takes a while to load but give it a listen. (over 1 hr in length)

Now, before we head out of here for the weekend, I just had one question. Do y'all think that Faith Evans is listening to her copy of Mary J. Blige's The Breakthrough saying, "Damn, that bitch did it again!"? I mean I am sure that Mary & Faith have resolved their issues, however there will always be that little bit of animosity. Remember back in the day Mary had her vocals removed from the duet, "Love Don't Live Anymore" she did with Faith for Faith's first album? I mean, is Faith somewhere in a Maybach with tinted windows boppin her head to "Be Without You"? Just wondering....

Signing Off,

I really hope Letoya makes it big. I was wondering what happened to her and the other girl. I hope she really blows up good luck!! You have my support mama

Was Latoya the thick short one? Cuz we need to see more of that girl... She was kinda fly.

LeToya's single has been floating around the internet for while. It's good that it's finally official. I hope she blows up big and knocks Beyonce out the box.

i always root for the underdawg! i pray she makes it big. matthew knowles fucked them girls over with no lubrication and i hope she squashes her former pal.

THE SINGLE IS NO DOUBT BETTER THAN THAT SHIT BEYONCE GOT OUT RIGHT NOW.

I agree that the single is much better then what beyonce has out right now but you guys dont understand that people will support beyonce on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that she does.If beyonce puts out a cd with 1 secound song on it i guarentee you people would still buy that shit.

Faith evans is a druggie,how you think she lost all that weight dont believe the facts about her being in the gym the bitch is lying.

This single is hot! I was a big fan of Destiny's Child until LaToya and the other chick got kicked out and when that Vibe mag came out a couple of years later stating that Beyonce and her parents make the other girls go tanning and change their names in order for miss bootylicious to be more noticible and stand out from the rest of the darkies, I was disgusted. I'm so sick of these artists who lighten up their faces in order to look more white. Remember the issue w/Beyonce being on the cover of Vogue mag? She was "too dark", so they had to lighten her up and thin her out! Sickening! Good luck LaToya, and I hope you become the new "hottest chick in the game".

NOte: Its it just me or do people think that there have been some serious computer re-digitalling of Beyonce's body? Ever notice that she looks thinner on her album pics,mag covers and in her videos, but on stage, she looks like a rhinocerous with a long ass weave?

I hope Letoya does great... Beyounce looks crazy as hell in that new video...Can you say CHeese! She cannot act and is not a good speaker/singer. We need some new real talent!!!

last I held, Letoya and to other girl that got kicked out of Destiny Child the first time (I forgot her name) had started a group wit 2 other girls call Anjel....what happen to that? Oh well...I really hope Letoya does her thing and makes it big. She is the only one that can give Beyonce a run for her money. Matter fact, she was the only other one the original group that could really sing. I think she has the talent and potential to be better than Beyonce

You guys have to understand that in each and every group thiere has always been one person that stands out wether its from the lead singer or the one who dosent sing.It has always been like that from day one.Personally i do think that matthew knowles did indeed from the beginning want his daughter to stand out from the rest however i dont think the made the girls get tans,change thiere names,hair ect ect i think you are exaggerating.

The Temptations-David ruffen
The platters-Zola Taylor

if shorty wanna blow up like beyonce,
she should take a few pages out of her book:

1) star in a dumbass movie
2) date the biggest rap mogul there is right now

So my advice to her to get a part in Scary Movie 4 and start dating 50 Cent.

Letoya and slim thug have been going together for over 2yrs now, she came with him to a radio station interview here in dallas and he told the dj she was his women.

LeToya's All Eyes On Me" is a better song than "Check On It" without a doubt. All she needs is a hot video to go with it.

As for Faith, she will never be MJB. She doesn't have enough edge, and she'll always be known as Biggie's widow.

The other girl's name is Latavia. She was short with the big eyes.

What doomdada said is true about the tans and changing of the names. Destiny's child was on the cover of Vibe mag and were taking pictures and similar poses to that of the Supremes (go figure!). This mag came out in 2000 or 2001, right around the time that "Say My Name" and "Independent Woman" came out b/c they had just dumped of Farrah by the time "Independent Woman" came out. In the mag, LaToya, Latavia and Farrah were quoted directly and they told Vibe that Matthew and B's mom would make everyone but Beyonce go tanning? Why is that? So Beyonce could be the light bright one that stands out.

Name game: Kelly Rowland's real name is not "Kelly" its Kelendria Trene Rowland and "Michelle" William's real name is Tenetria Michelle Williams...Now, which name is more memorable and stands out? You guessed it, Beyonce!!! Why form the group in the first place when all you want is for your daughter to be the star?

Oh shit. What I'm hearing about this single sounds crazy! I've gotta hear it. Ima check it out. I'm glad people like doomdada and chalookin4 see that Beyonce is only getting noticed because of her light skin, fat ass, and long blonde hair. When I say that, a lot of people wanna deny it and say "oh that's not true color doesn't matter!" I also heard that rumor about Kelly n Michelle getting a tan so Beyonce could stand out more. I just didn't know if it was true but it looked true to me! I've also heard that Beyonce lightened her skin and by the looks of it, she has more of a milky color mixed in with her almond skin tone.

I also didn't get why Kelly n Michelle shortened their names. I remember watching them on MTV and Kelly told everybody that she shortened it because it was too hard to pronounce! That name is BEAUTIFUL! Beyonce is a very unique and beautiful name and that is another reason why she's so popular and gets a lot of ads to use her. People fromj companies said that they use her because her name is so big or something like that...I was just watching another show on TV. Point blank, Beyonce's parents treated Kelly n Michelle wrong and everyone knows it. Is it Beyonce's fault yes and no. She should've still said something and never grew apart from the group! I really want Letoya to be on top and tell us what really went on in DC. We don't know much about her or her talents.

doomdada&chalookin4 is the same person.You can tell from the way they use thiere words and how they type out thiere sentences.LovelyT might be the same person as them also but i dont know yet.Get a life and stop coming back on this site acting as diffrent people its not that serious.

Letoya cant fuck with beyonce,yea beyonce isnt all of that but she has a bad ass team behind her.ANd homegirl finer then a motherfucker.Beyonce is crazy paid and is getting more and more dough by the year so just stop hating and congratulate the girl thats whats wrong with females today.

Yea michelle and kelly shortned thiere names but do you blame them?Thiere full names are hideous to read.

As for the girls getting tans and beyonce not thats RIDICILOUS and i know that would hurt beyonce if she read that.I have seen pictures of the girls when they were about 9/10 years old and beyonce has always been LIGHT,kelly has always been darkskinned,letoya has always been brown and so was latavia so what are you guys talking about?

Stop the hate everybody its not that serious beyonce just making money just like you would do if you were in the business so chill.

I listened to some of LeToya's songs..she actually got skills...but you would have never known because of you know--the Queen Bey..

As for Faith...she may listen to the Breakthrough..but vocally Mary CAN NOT see her. Edge, style, and off-key singing notwithstanding, Mary has something goin for her, but Singing is something Faith can do around her anyday!! To me this album--minus "Be Without You" it's straight garbage for an MJB album and yall need to stop frontin..1/2 of MJB's album is only rockin..

now i dun know much bout this luckett person, all i know is she was in DC got kicked out yea yea yea. she's baq and if shes good then shes good, if not then she's not.

inly problem I'm having is people not recongnizing real talent, real beauty, and the baddest voice of the 90's, and still the baddest voice today...Faith Evans...now i aint bad mouthin MJB, because she is who she is....but she cant mess wit Faith on the vocals, or anything else, and they music is sort of the same....they sing the same type of music, so happens mary has been out longer. Come on now, show love where its deserved, faith is doin the damn thang and she always gon do the damn thing, MJB knows where THE FIRST LADY STANDS she said it herself....ya'll ppl better recongnize what music, and talent is.

WHO THAT FUCK IS THAT LETOYA???, AHAHAHAH BITCHES PLEASE.........FAITH AND MARY ARE STARS, BITCHES DONT HAVE ARGUMENTS AND TALK ABOUT HER WEIGHT, FUCK ALL YALL HATER BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!ENUFF SAID!

it seems like faith is in a lot of motheduckers mouths lately . letoya luckett will not make on her own any way. faith has been in the game for 10 years respect is due. this wack as posting and stupid ass article

I like what i heard from Letoya so far. i'll giver her a chance if she drops.

That single sounds like Beyonce wrote it.

I think her success will be short-lived. When has a group ever produced 2 huge solo artists?

B never needed anybody's help to stand out. She just did. She always danced harder, has the craziest shape, and was THE best singer in the group. It was just a matter of time for her.

I agree with quel beyonce does just stand out on her own.She didnt need the help,she is beatiful and of course she is gonna be the first one to get recongized.Plus she's the lead singer so how can she not be the most recongized one.Beyonce has that total package and thats why she's so famous she has the the beauty,the brains,the talent and the body.

The allegations some of you are making are stupid and childish.Before you start putting shit out like that please have some EVIDENCE.Yea we all know that kelly's name is really that but do you have proof that beyonce or her mom and dad made her change it? Not really.

As for letoya im really not feeling that single it just sounds regular to me nothing to really talk about.Her and beyonce been made a truce she even sells beyonce's clothing line HOUSE OF DEREON in her clothing shop.I know letoya is making money off of that but beyonce is makin more by having her brand in the store.

I love faith,i didnt like her new cd tho i was very dissapointed she fell off terribly,back then faith was the shit she had so many songs i like she is definately on her way to becoming a legend.Mary j blige's new cd is also very dissapointing.She could have done much better but i wish her all the sucess both her and faith are real artists...

Latoya and Kelly are gonna heat up the airways with their new albums.

yall suck fucking haters!! faith will out sing mary and latoyas ass any day. mary has always had the upper hand because she has had favor from a good team surrounding her. the bitch got good songs but her voice still sucks. unless you are a faith fan you wont get her music. her last album was hot to death. yall can get over it with the hating...stupid bitches!!!! get a fucking grip...mary and faith aint got beef clearly cause mary credits faith for being where she is now....yall dont know shit...dumbies!!!

Yo. first of alll yall need to give props where props ae supposed to be given. Beyonce is a AMAZING artist! She can sing her heart out. Shes multi talented! Yall need to congradulate her! As for Letoya I havnet heard alot from her but Im surewhen she comes out she will do her thing and do her best. And if she blows up and her musicis tight Ill buy that album....

Y'all niggas and bitches always worry about the wrong people. Letoya have been dating Mr. 'Already platinum' for 2 years and Beyonce is blowing jayz as I'm writting this shit. Y'all starving muthafuckers need to get your money up and stop paying attention to these hollywood bitches.

........................................
..............

JAY, Maybe they'll give me a lil bite to eat.

People shorten and change their names all the time, In the music business, and in Hollywood, Jamie Foxx was not born with that name, but he wanted something to the point that stood out, no harm no foul. Beyonce had as bout as much power to change these girls names as the man in the moon had. And I really don't buy this "LEAD SINGER" argument, it really defeats the purpose of the word group. For all the future "Group" members who are the so-called "Lead Singer" and who have the so-called "Total Package", how bout taking that package and becoming a solo artist from the jump instead of gathering a group of friends to eternally walk in your shadow. Personally I feel that both Michelle and Kelly have proven themselves both as beautiful black women and good singers. As for Letoya, I have never heard her sing, only harmonize with the rest of the original group, but if she has talent then hey, do ya thang girl.

I'm not here to hate on anyone...

Beyonce does her thang
Letoya does her thang as well...

Mary J does her thang (congrats on the platinum in less than 2 weeks sales mary)
and Faith's recent album was hot... so she does her thang...

am i the only person who doesn't compare and is just happy that they ALL put out great, different, sometimes similar, but all GOOD, fun, deep, danceable, music??

ANYWAYS...

is it me, or doesn't Letoya look a lil' like a darker Amerie in that promo pic they have up here on the blog? lemme kno if u agree people

I downloaded the mixtape last week and it's hot.Letoya was always the best looking to me back when she was in the group and I'm happy to see that she's been grinding and has something to show for it. Why do people think that Beyonce is such a beautiful name? When you really look at it..just look at it and say it to yourself a few times in a row....it's a ghetto-ass made up name just like Tenetria and Kellendria. I ain't hating on B, even though she does use a lotta Bravado,music people know what I'm talkin bout, but she can sing. That stuff with Matthew Knowles doesn't sound far-fetched at all I mean, it IS his daughter. The thing about LeToya is that she ACTS like she's from H-Town. I think she'll get more love because she reps where she's from and has a beautiful soprano that wasn't noticed due to her being in a group where everyone doesn't sing until the very last album. I will buy her album when it drops. Someone did make a good point and that's that no matter how talented LeToya is...B has a monster squad behind her and could make things "happen" if something was to jump off. She's like the 50 Cent of these new R&B chicks. I'm no 50 fan but the man does have pull, just like B. Good luck LeToya...you got the hood behind you!

Faith can out-sing MJB.....that's the bottom line. Yeah, MJB is from Yonkers and has had a rougher life and she sings her heart out while telling those stories of hers but Faith has more range but then again WHO THE FUCK CARES!!! They're both talented black women who are sharing their passion with the public and they would make a crazy collabo 2gether.

SUNNY, stop tryna act like you some kinda saint!

I agree with JRJ to a degree, but initially that's how it all began, as a group, some little girls messing around tryna become a singing group, while there is always one person who may stand out more vocally, I disagree with one person always having the leading role, it causes to much friction, and as far as Matthews and Tina they are the two parents who made the most sacrifices to helping them to get where they are, so hey. If you look at TLC for example all those girls individually brought a different vibe to the group which made them stand out although I feel that Lisa and Chilli could have been used a bit more for leads. Someone said Beyonce was the better dancer in the group, not true I saw a vid clip of her and Letoya when they were younger and unlike Letoya, Beyonce didn't have much rhythm. I haven't heard Letoya's vocals outside the group, but I hope she does well.

I THINK WHAT MATTHEW KNOWLES AND B'S MOM DID TO DA OTHER GURLS DAT WHERE KICKED OUT OF DESTINY CHILD WAS UNFAIR.
I HOPE DAT GURL LETOYA MAKES IT BIG.

I just heard that song by Letoya n it's hot! Whoeva said that it's better than beyonce's "Check On It" was right! I really don't like beyonce's new song, it sounds like a teeny bob club song and the words were easy to make up. It's nothing but a song being in the club and dancing with some guy who wanna touch u. As far as "All Eyes On Me" it has a bumping hip-hop, inspired, middle eastern vibe! She has a very nice tone in her voice. I didn't know she could sing. Paul Wall n Slim Thug sound nice in that song too. Especially my boy Paul Wall, it goes so well with the beat. It'll definitely be a club banger. She looks different from all of these other R&B females. She has a beautiful but hood look going on. It does seem like she represents H-Town more than beyonce because beyonce never represented it like that. She was just a performer who was born n raised there. I hope to see Letoya do big things, especially coming from the South and having 2 of H-Town's finest backing her up. Who says that she can't touch beyonce? Give her a chance beyonce is already everywhere n known as a diva, it's time 4 someone new.

1.This song has been out since the beginning of last year.It has already made it to the airwaves and nobody is requesting it.Its not a good song and she is just trying to use her hometown to gain sucess because its hot on the map right now but she needs to realize its not gonna happen.

2.You guys are crazy if you think she can touch beyonce.Ashanti cant even fuck with bey and she been in the game going on 4 years.Im not saying bey is the best but she can hold hers and the girl is definately here to stay.she got white chicks,white guys,black girls,black guys latino girls,latino guys in love with her even senior citzens on her nuts so basically what im saying she appeals to all audiences so as for letoya fucking with beyonce's spot THATS A JOKE!

3.Southern belle or whateva ya name is you sound crazy when you said something about her repping houston more then beyonce.Just because beyonce dosent wear a big ass tshirt that says h-town representer or because she dosent say it all the dam time dosent mean she's not repping it or dosent like it or whateva.Everyone dosent try to use thiere htown to gain sucess like this chick is doing.

4.Lmao at she looks diffrent,southern belle she is caked up with makeup,airbrushed and hair weaved just like the rest of these R&b chicks,including beyonce so when you say she looks diffrent thats a lie because on that picture i could have swore that was amerie like someone said above.

Dam bey got mad haters.The bigger/richer she get the more bitches hate.I guess thats just how it is.

All the girls in Destiny's Child are tight.....stop being critics and give these damn girls a chance !!! Damn !!! True couple would be Beyonce and 50, cause those two take so much shit for being successful than anybody I know !!! Muthafuckas hate on people for reasons that don't even make sense.....peep Yukmouth on that Beef 3 dvd. Its sad that we won't rise cause of envy. Let Luckett do her thang man, damn !!!

Obviously both Beyonce and LaToya have moved on and has made the best of the situations that came and went. So neither of them should be compared or dissed. They all are doing something constructive, rather than cat fighting with each other.

Same with Mary and Faith. They both have resolved their issues (even Mary said it wasn't Faith she had beef with). Both Mary and Faith have recently and most notably spke highly of each other. Yeah, I'm sure Faith listens to Mary's music. But I'm sure Mary listens to Faith. She even called her an underrated talent saying they need more like her. Both ladies are here for a reason and both have put out very nice albums currently.

You can tell who the die-hard fans are, I have to agree with SouthernBelle, on that Check On It song. And Beyonce alone don't do much for me. I like DC as a whole, but I'm happy for her though.

LATAVIA WAS THE "OTHER GIRL" AND THE ONE WHO WROTE MOST OF THAT FIRST ALBUM AND MOST DEF THE HOTTEST I LOVE YOU LATAVIA!!!! LOL I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MEET HER I HAVE THE PIC ON MY WEBSITE CHECK IT!!! SUCKAS

letoya's new single is weak as hell, that shit dont even compete with ashanti and that's not saying much bc ashanti cant seem to say ne thing more than baby baby on every damn song. latoya is an ok singer but not good enuff to come out and knock the top competition out the box.. CIARA-even though she's a dude..the dude can dance. letoya cant dance that good. beyonce always been the top dancer of the group she has a more fluid move. and she is always going to sell alot bc she's commercial..white youths eat that shit up.not to mention other chicks with strong voices ALICIA KEYS.
FANTASIA. KESHIA COLE. letoya needs to keep it moving.

Thank you voices. At least somebody see's what I'm saying. To that girl who wants to try to come at me...I didn't disrespect nobody on this muthafuckin board! All I did was come here and say my piece. It's people like you who want to put a new artist down because there's a bigger artist out there. It seems like you hatin on Letoya. You probably just worried that she might have a chance to shut Beyonce down in H-Town. Don't say that's not the case because if that wasn't the case then why the fuck did you get so sensitive and offended and try to come at me??? I only said that it seems like she'll represent H-Town more because she'll be an artist from there and since H-Town is big right now, a lot of ppl gonna say "Oh there go another female representing H-Town!" Why can't you or anybody else stop hatin on the girl and give her a chance. You act the there won't be a new artist that won't outbeat Beyonce! Beyonce's aint gonna be around forever! Like someone said, they both don't have any hard feeling and both making music so get over yourself!!!

PITTSBURGH STEELERS IS GOIN TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

F*CK THE BENGALS AND
R-FAGGOT (THE RACIST WHITEBOY)

I wish that everyone in the world would please be a little more humbled and less competitve towards each other. Letoya and Beyonce both are talented individuals. Fact remains the same... they are not in the same group because they have two totally different styles of entertainment. As young ladies... when will we stop downsizing one another and start uplifting one another. -Peace, Love & All That Good Shit 1NuMilUn

The Truth is: You telling the truth about that Ashanti comment, Ashanti really talks about somethin in her songs for one, I mean you gotta have somethin you can feed off ,something with some substance, some real talk, a hot beat don't always carry it. And the supergroup would probably be a hot blend.

SORRY PPL, BUT I C LETOYA'S CAREER ENDING B4 IT BEGANS LIKE OLIVIA. SHE WILL HAVE THAT 1 LIL SINGLE FLOATING (WHICH IT HAS BEEN DOING 4 MONTHS) W/O A COMMERCIAL RESPONSE-JUST LIKE OLIVIA-THERE ARE SINGERS AND THEN THERE ARE SANGERS-SANGER SHE ISNT, I AGREE WITH NIGGA PLS OR WHATEVA THE NAME IS-NEEDLESS TO SAY SHE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT A SOLO CAREER SINCE DC BROKE IT. SHE NEEDS TO CONTINUE SELLING CLOTHES. AND BEING SLIM THUG'S GIRL. EVERY 1 IS NOT MET TO B A STAR.
