So this Lauryn Hill vs. Jean Grae debate is STILL an interesting one...

[JokerzWyld]

Jean >>>>>>> Lauryn

Attack of The Attacking Things >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Miseducation

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

lauryn hill vs who?

 

[StillFaggyAF]

as far as technical skills, Jean Grae

but as an artist? Lauryn Hill>>>Jean Grae

 

[Lab Baby]

Don't forget about The Score, LH and the production saved that album. The fact that Grae ain't a mainstream artist doesn't help her in this case. But aside from all that, she's the GOAT female. And Jeanius is dope as hell too.

 

[INTERNATIONALKIKI]

This woman is beautiful & extremly talented - she's interestin

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

Lauren EASILY

Mystery Of Iniquity>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jean Grae

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

LOL, is this a joke? Jean Grae isn't even good. Nicki > wackass Grae.

FF to 0:51 and you'll hear a verse that Jean Grae couldn't dream about writing.

"I used to listen to Lauryn Hill, and tap my feet / then the bitch put out a CD that didn't have no beats"

Nah, but that Unplugged joint was the shit. Have you honestly heard a Jean Grae album? LH/Grae is debatable, but you're buggin with the Nicki thing.

Lauryn Hill the GOAT female

I think we all just have to look beyond the fact that Jean doesn't have as strong of a PR team behind her, as much as Lauryn did circa 95-2000. Jean's only hindrance is that she's not marketed to mainstream markets...but what does that speak to merit?

The Score was a very mediocre album, IMO. Yea, Lauryn saved that album. But amongst the presence of two subpar emcees, the ending product is going to be asi asi.

Lauryn just has a bunch of bandwagon stans, who only like her because it's "politically correct"...like soul rattler, for example.

This right here... I bet most of these niggas have never listened to Jean...

 

[StillFaggyAF]

The Score is classic

Jean couldn't write a verse like that? She already did, stupid.

And lol @ Nicki being better than Jean. Nicki could barely handle Lil Kim's ghostwriters...what the fuck makes you think she could come within two centimeters of seeing Jean, on any level?

 

[Gooner]

anyone who says it isnt close is an idiot...Lauryn is the better artist but as far as technical ability no female mc is touching Jean.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

Come on son Nikki ain't better then Jean lolz

Honestly, I hate the Fugees, and I wasn't a big fan of The Score. I only listened to it cuz my homegirl liked it. Didn't see the big deal, but I dug the beats and LH's parts. Still, LH is an artist in her own merit, and the debate is a lot closer than some think. She's more than a "politically correct" artist. That Unplugged album got her in a lot of trouble. And Grae's like the female version of DOOM, an acquired taste, a unique talent that if given the right push would be top 5 easy.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

Lauren SAVED alot of fugee songs from being flat out wacK

Zealots comes to mind. She BODIED that
