She can make catchy ? , and she has...she just doesn't have an astronomical marketing machine behind her. And that's why she's so obscure. But honestly, I don't think Jean wants to crossover...she seems to be very anti-top 40. But she's still the Queen, either way. -
Bottom line is
Jean Grae vs Ms Hill
is like
Phonte vs Andre 3000
the more popular one will get the nodd but we all know the truth -

Andre 3000 in his prime is on a whole other level from phonte -
she just sounds like she trying mad hard to rap...lol
she suffers from a slight case of Talib Kweli...
Jean's flow is WAY more polished than Talib's... -
her verses on the Miseducation -
Where is Nicki Minaj these days?

How is Phonte better than Dre -
or some people don't think Jean is that nice...
its not like L Boogie was an artist that catered to mainstream fakery...
she was a real MC who was able to gain everyones respect...
No. Lauryn was just an emcee that got a push from a major label, and thus, was able to crossover.
What makes you think Jean wouldn't experience the same success if she had as much PR behind her as Lauryn did?
Or maybe, you're just a hater... -

how about Lauryn Hill is just a more talented artist than Jean Grae. (i'm not saying Jean Grae is wack btw) -
Other level? word? Dre is nice but I have never heard a wack verse from Te...Mvpbrodie93 wrote: »Andre 3000 in his prime is on a whole other level from phonte
Im not saying Hill is wack but if we go song for song verse for verse Jean is better...or some people don't think Jean is that nice...

Its more like Jay and Ye... Jay is a better rapper but Ye is a better artist -

Its all opinion but I can listen to Little Brother more than Outkast
and if we go 16 bars for 16 bars I think Te can edge him out -

i'd have to respectfully disagree. Very few rappers can match Outkast lyrically -
There's really no contest to be had. Jean wins based on her body of work alone. She has skills lyrically and she has relatable content.
Lauryn is nice but she's not seeing Jean. Queen Latifah >>>>>>>>>>> Lauryn Hill. -

You seem to only like rappers because they're popular... -
you can have technical skills which jean has but you also have to capture the listener ears and i feel like lauryn do that ? better then jean

But Lauren HAS technical skills, she's a Beast lyrically -

So Jean doesn't capture the listener's ear as good as Lauryn? That's a pretty superficial reason to not like somebody... -

I kno bruh i didnt say she didnt i was saying thats what seperates her from jean and makes her better IMO is her ability to also hold a listeners attention -

That's exactly what your post implied, without you flat out saying it, verbatim.
To dismiss Jean because, in your opinion, she doesn't hold the listener's attention...is shallow. And makes you just as bad as the ? posting in here who only likes rappers because they're popular... -
lol the masses have spoken

So music doesnt have to have an entertainment value as well to compliment the technical side is what you saying right?
