It kills me how underrated Jean Grae is. She is truly one of the best... love her.
@ConcaCon6 жыл бұрын
While I understand that she speaks from the viewpoint of a woman, to me as a man, this is perhaps one of the most relatable love songs any rapper has ever written. The reflection. The admittance of naivety and the "hurt people hurt people" vicious cycle. The finding of self. The acceptance of scars. Thank you, Jean.

@otherstuff6495 жыл бұрын
Why do you have to qualify it though? She's just one of the most underrated MCs period.
@AdaptiveApeHybrid5 жыл бұрын
@@otherstuff649 she's not just that. I'd say she's *also* that, because both apply. I agree with your sentiment though. A highly underrated artist. It's really a fucking shame how so many female artists (especially in rap and hip hop music) go unnoticed and become marginalized She's such a good lyricist and, personally, I love her monotone delivery.
@otherstuff6495 жыл бұрын
Oh I was talking to @Marcus Reeves -- it sucks reading through the comments and the ONLY thing is "wow what a dope female MC, nicki who? Cardio who?" Like there can only be one kind of woman who raps. She's an incredible storyteller, rapper, and so to limit what she's doing to being the best for half of the population is so weird. What she does is better than what most MCs do. I agree she's light years ahead of most other male rappers (and in fact last year I started called men who rap "male rappers" just to point out how silly it sounds when we break up rappers by gender. Who would ever call Nas or Tupac their favorite male rapper? nobody! They're simply people's favorite rappers. I just wish things would change in this regard. Lol as u can see I feel very passionate about it.
@AdaptiveApeHybrid5 жыл бұрын
@@otherstuff649 it's a good thing to be passionate about! I knew who you were responding to, I'm passionate about art in general and what you are talking about as well. I'm kinda just butting in. I apologize. I do refer to artists as female or Male though, at least when they are musicians/musical artists *and* vocalists. Just because there are such big differences in the vocals between most men and women's voices. I tend to prefer female vocals over male but this is obviously not always the case. But I also think of my favorite vocalists in the way that you are speaking of. I honestly think it's partially to do with how much I enjoy making categories and lists lol.

One of the most beautifully written rap songs ever. The way she subtly switched from speaking in the third person at the start of the song to first person by the end, which helps signify her coming to peace with all the heartbreak. Amazing. A masterpiece of a record

@@perrysaunders331 I know this was meant in good nature, but it seems weird if Jean would've signed with Cole. Love his work very much, but people rarely fuck with his artists like they fuck with him and he pushes all of them. That being said, I imagine she's comfortably well off. I do get the sentiments though, of a major label that would ACTUALLY not restrict her creativity.
