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

[Ier30]

you can have technical skills which jean has but you also have to capture the listener ears and i feel like lauryn do that shit 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 nigga posting in here who only likes rappers because they're popular...

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

What masses? Read the thread...Jean is the Queen, and you will deal with it, dummy.

Jean Grae is dope, but she isn't on Lauryn's level. What seperates Lauryn from Jean is what's behind the words. The prime example of this is "Mystery of Iniquity". From a lyrical standpoint, Lauryn had imagery, metaphors, a concept, and creativity in that song.

I do think Jean Grae has the better flow and Lauryn has the better delivery.

 

[soul rattler]

lauryn hill vs who?

as an artist? Lauryn Hill>>>Jean Grae

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. .

Lauren EASILY

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

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.

that Unplugged joint was the shit. Have you honestly heard a Jean Grae album?

Lauryn is the better artist.

um...
nah...
I have given Jean Grae many listens, she just aint that nice...
L Boogie WAS an dope MC... I can bump the Score and the Miseducation...
I don't even bump songs ft Jean...

how about Lauryn Hill is just a more talented artist than Jean Grae. (i'm not saying Jean Grae is wack btw)

Preach!!!!!!!!!!!! lol punisher stay losin outchea

 

[soul rattler]

Jean Grae out here makin songs with Lil B and shit... lmao

 

[Lab Baby]

Preach!!!!!!!!!!!! lol punisher stay losin outchea

LOL, I actually voted for Jean, but it's not that farfetched to say LH is better.

This thread needs a poll.

 

[Pun1sher]

Preach!!!!!!!!!!!! lol punisher stay losin outchea

ROFL.

Those quotes MEAN nothing, fag...especially when half of them are giving Jean Grae props, simultaneously.

Why are you even in here? Instead of worrying about Jean's greatness, you need to be more concerned about how Lauryn's broke, unemployed looney tune ass is gonna pay for that next visit to psyche ward, stupid.

 

[ocelot]

Jean Grae out here makin songs with Lil B and shit... lmao

and was her verse wack?

I’m a, rebel rouser, the other rebels that crowd around them
(C’mon) To rebel levels that leveled up into several thousands
Records (Houser) like Afrika, we the (Jungle Brothers)
This is for townships, backpackers and seasoned lovers of music
Lil B’s in love with the music
So leave the brother to use it, lead the public to new shit
See the, puppets ain’t do it, you keepin up what they viewin
You see the numbers they doin, refeedin us, the three of us
Plus 9th, more than Kanye cuff dykes or cuff mics
It’s my nigga Phonte, Based God, dig-above type
(C’mon) Above the boundaries of music, the counter-culture groove it’s
(Uh) the kind of combination got you puzzled, called cocooners
We do what we like so hit the common section
Do this for life, so what we got in (Common)? (Resurrection)
I’ma tryna bring everything back
…Everything
And that includes…

Jean> Ms. Hill

 

[Pun1sher]

Jean Grae out here makin songs with Lil B and shit... lmao

Better to be making songs with Lil B, than to be regulated to making obscure, album tracks for animated movies that did NOTHING at the box office. ROFL. Yea, she lost herself.

Does L Boogie even have a record deal anymore, fag?

Phonte verse>>>> Roses really smell like boo boo ooo oooo

[Phonte]
I was looking at your photograph amazed how I favored you
I remember being young wanting to play with you
Cause you was a wild and crazy dude
And now I understand why my momma couldn't never stay with you
From the roots to the branches to the leaves
They say apples don't fall far from the trees
I used to find it hard to believe
And I swore that I would
Always hold my family as long as I could
But damn
Our memories can be so misleading
It's misery
I hate to see history repeating
Thought you were the bad guy
But I guess that's why
me and my girl split
And my son is leaving
I did chores, did bills, and did dirt
But I swear to God I tried to make that shit work
'Til I came off tour to an empty house
With all the dressers and the cabinets emptied out
I think I must've went insane
Thinking I was in love, but really in chains
Trapped to this girl through the two-year old who carried my name
I tried to stop tripping
But yo, I couldn't and the plot thickened
That shit affected me, largely
Because I know a lot of people want me
To fail as a father
And the thought of that haunts me
Especially when I check my rear-view mirror
And don't see him in his car seat
So the next time it's late at night
and I'm laid up with the woman I'mma make my wife
talking 'bout how we 'gon make a life
I'm thinking about child support, alimony, visitation rights
Cause that's the only outcome if you can't make it right
Pissed off with your children feeling the same pain
So, Pop, how could I blame cause you couldn't maintain
I did the same thing
The same thing
