Jean Grae appriciation (GOAT female MC)

[TheDarceKnight]

Jean ripped this joint. Jean was a better lyricist... no question about that

Jean album wise not on Rapsody's league tho.

This is true. Rapsody has better projects and albums. Way more consistent. My favorite Jean album is Jeanius but the version that leaked. On the retail 9th had a band replay some of his beats instead of using the original samples, and it killed a few of the best songs on there, like the Intro, Think About It, American Pimp, Love Thirst. Took all the life and soul out of those beats. They also cut Don’t Rush Me which was maybe the best song on there.

she fell off but she had a nice run during them 9th wonder/blue sky black death days

It's crazy how dope the BSBD album is, given the way she'll light you tf up for ever mentioning it to her(her vocals were given to BSBD without permission).

Remember she kilt this cypher she was in with Capone and someone else on Angela yee show many years ago.

 

[Mindfield333]

I think rapsody surpassed Jean
And I still have Lauryn Hill over Jean Grae

Maybe in terms of relative success yes… skill-wise? No. Jean spanked her on the song they had together


EDIT: realized this is an old post and I put something similar earlier smh

She also produced this

That album was crazy. I love her first album and #5. She the female nas to me. I was hoping for a collab between the two

gotta post the opposite of "Love Thirst"

This was da song that introduced me to her via UGHH. Definitely GOAT level female lyricists. None of these new heauxs makin' hooker tunes can fukk w/her.

Best female rapper and one of the best disco period. She sings great too. She's in my top 10.
