She wasn't THAT dope...most notable song of her's is taco day I would think, you can't get jiggy with that shyt...asking why she didn't blow up is like asking why shyt falls down when you throw it in the air :heh:

The better question is...being that she is skilled, how come she hasn't put out a good project regardless of how much attention she was gonna get from it. You can't say she can't spit but she's not very interesting, even without the whole "looks" deal, her actual music is some on the fence ass shyt.

I never thought she would have blown up. It seems like at any given point in time in hip hop, at least in the last decade or so, there is only enough room for one female rapper to shine, and now that is clearly Nicki minaj. And yeah unfortunately there usually has to some sort of sex appeal. Jean Grey lyrical style and lack of sex appeal should have nobody surprised why she didn't blow up.


But on a side note the joint that her and 9th wonder put out "Jeanious" was :whew:

played this joint last weekend for some females having a prework session....all them hoes went:gladbron:


shoulda hit em with the



or the






but nah, Jeanie's too dense an MC. The masses won't accept that from a female unless they got something to stare at. And while I think she's fukking gorgeous, you gotta be ready for porn if you ain't gonna have dumbed down lyrics.

Her twitter is entertaining as hell, though. lol

That Black Sky Blue Death was the last time I checked for her. She was a talented mc but I always felt she was destined to stay undergroud.

Anyway this was my favourtie Jean tune. Dope concept, dope song.
