Again, like I've been saying, Latavia and Latoya were NOT ALLOWED to contribute! That's why they left. They did help write songs on their debut album AND Writings on the Wall (they were on TWO albums not one) and some of DC's greatest hits like Bills, Bills, Bills, and Say My Name were performed and co-written by them. However, outside of singing back up and co-writing on some tracks they were restricted from doing much else. It's funny how some people ignore the fact that THREE former members of DC (Latavia Letoya and Farrah Franklin) have said the same thing, that Matthew Knowles was biased towards his daughter, did not pay everyone equally, and did not allow everyone to conrtibute equally to the group. DC went through more members than the Supremes. CLEARLY the issue was with the unfair treatment. It's sad that those girls worked that hard to alongside Beyonce and Kelly to get the group signed in the first place, to just be thrown in the background and fired a couple years later. If Beyonce was soooo much better than them as ya'll claim, why did she need to be in a group in the first place? Why didn't she go solo like Whitney, Mariah, Janet, Monica, or Brandy (even Rihanna)? Clearly the labels told her she wasn't good enough YET on her own to get signed solo. She needed to be DEVELOPED into the star that she is today and, unfortunately, the other members were in NO WAY given the same amount of development or attention to even have Beyonce's career. We all saw that when they would not let let any of them sing solos but her despite the fact that they could all sing. Stop with the bias and just be honest.
