Social media has its ups and downs, but today is definitely a win thanks to Solange. On Wednesday, she asked her almost three million Twitter followers to make a mashup of the “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News” The Wiz scene set to Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak track “Bad News.” Fans wasted no time creating the video collage, and the ending result is brilliant.
The first response came from @xmariahnicole, which is Solange approved.

Who else is queuing up 808s right now? Solange later thanked her many followers that contributed in her music project.
