Jean Grae didn't blow up for the same reason that so many other underground rappers didn't blow up, lyricism is hard to market for the masses in this day and age. That being said, she's better than a lot of rappers.



:whoo:

I just saw a pic. All those tats? Eww? She was ok looking before but now. I'm good.

As far as music, I thought she was ok. Like others said there wasn't much of standout material from her

Look yall, if she got the right production and aspired alittle more, she could get alittle more shine. But I guess as an artist u have to believe in yourself first

She was a very good rapper when she 1st dropped but by the time she joined Talib Kweli's crew, her lack of fire and passion showed in her lackadaisical rhymes. Talent wise she could be a top 10 all time female MC, but her heart hasn't really been in it.
