Jean Grae - Don't Rush Me

[MsDragonfly58]

shes the real deal not some fake a** like Nicki Minaj

[REALHIPHOP562]

9th Wonder brought this track alive, no doubt. Love 4 the underground! Time to hear this again. Big up the instrumental as well.

[CroweChristina]

mmhmm, i love that jean grae is the only one doing it

[Magicprincess9000]

She actually has talent......She really can flow.....I just recently heard of her and Im glad I found some kool female rapper...We need more of this!

[REALHIPHOP562]

AT THE END OF THE TRACK, JEAN GRAE IS CLOWEN ON "FLAMES" I WONDER WHO THAT IS?? JUSTICE LEAGUE !!!!

[REALHIPHOP562]

EXCELLENT DELIVERY, PROPZ TO JEAN GRAE...FUCK THAT WIERDO BITCH NIKKI MINAJ...SHES WACK.

[purplesilverplatinum]

Jean Grae resonates with me so much more than Nicki Minaj.

[AlexaFlexaB]

yeah this track is a bit slow, but listen to the lyrics, it's from her heart, its not some little song about nothing she's been told to perform. Also I think Jean Grae's vocal delivery is sweeter sounding than some of the other female rappers, I like that. The content aint always so sweet though!!

[solidaritygirl]

eh...I'm not a nicki minaj fan but this is just boring.

[LFanLives]

@solidaritygirl boring is not an adjective to be used in conjunction with Jean Grae's music. You should've said there was no scratch & sniff CD cover, no half naked rapper, or accent variations in the song. Jean is an artist void of gimmicks, that makes her boring to you, but it makes her LEGENDARY to the rest of us .

[vice2vursa]

@LFanLives when kanye west came out with college dropout, he didn't have a jersey on holding stacks of cash, two cars in the backround with 2 bitches showing their ass's on the cover, no he had a fucking bear. when he rapped he didn't rap with snap, trap like beats like the other rappers during that time and he didn't rap about the typical shit. but he wasn't BORING, he's music was able to make you feel the soul it carried. thats the difference between him and jean grae's music

[SkyKnight26]

@vice2vursa he didnt have it on the cover cause he was mostly rapping about it lmao you speak your own opinon about kanye ...what about the bullshit he made afterwards ? nigga you talkin one album no one can feel how you feel ..kanyes album was fake cause he wanted to copy kweli and commons conscious style and then make shit

[DaMuzikFreek]

@vice2vursa no the real difference is that grae never sold out like kanye, wayne, drake, minaj, or any of those other whack rappers in the "game" right now.

[REALHIPHOP562]

FUCK NIKI MINAJ...JEAN GRAE: THE FKN BEST FEMALE MC NO DOUBT. 9TH WONDER, MUCH RESPECT!! AKA...LITTLE J.DILLA

[REVERYPUGK]

HAAAAAAAA !!! JEAN IS SO DOPE. POINT BLANK.

[makemecash1]

@1:20

"Ay get your hand off me, you stupid, I'LL CUT YOU"

That's a real female "MACK" line right there.

If you don't know where that comes from, check out THE MACK, a 70's blaxploitation film. I think it was "Pretty Tony" who said it.

Jean, "I'm not blowing up your spot" I enjoy the context in which you used this line. Nuff Respect.

[shadowki09]

Wow this is so good shit here. Man i wish you had a hold lot of music that i could hands on the the ablum i got is that This Week i need more

[lwil2]

hottest female rapper out hell she iller than most dudes

[6Kare]

love this woman. lil who? nikki who?

[Boboworld]

This is nice!!!

[PhilGoodmen]

hooottt nes

[JonesArmandoHoward]

kool keith with a vagina...

And no "talent" other than a vagina...

[MrDJKaaz]

sample ?

[bigbigmacmack]

you stupid? i'll cut you.

[jag57505]

yo on some real shit it feel like i'm growing along to this track.

i first heard it in 07 or 08 and i was growing, i've grown since then still growin.

you the man jean. you the man.

peace.

[Valid925]

There's actually two different beats for this track. I like this one better, though. One of 9th's best, in my opinion.

[KAKEZILLAH]

Fuck nicki minaj

[KAKEZILLAH]

Hold her tampons hahhahahahhahahaha

[VBH130]

man why u guys hating on nicki minaj man thats fucked up i like both of them to different styles even tho i do like jean grae better they both good

[hiphoplegend1]

Jean Grae is the GOAT female emcee along with MC Lyte....fuck Nikki Minaj?? that bitch couldn't hold their tampons let alone following them on the mic...get the fuck outta here!

[MyPheenix]

she's a BEAST!

[TheBoyG3nius]

Jean grae is the best.

Point blank

[JDurantSr]

Yeah, i feel that same way, get over it already, she does what she does, she's great at delivery, bettter than jean I'm sorry to say. Not a better mc, she's just better at saying her material, even though it aint wrote by her but she rhymes it good. Plus if she was any where else than cash money, no we wouldn't be having this disscussion but it is what it is. Let's promote who we want and what we want and stop crying and actually do something about what garbage is put on the radio.

[ARIOX007]

Thats how you know nicki minaj is a big, successful artist because all you hear about is her on every video......do yall ever get tired of mentioning her, get a life.

[ThePhundumentalz]

man!! wtf!?!? WHO THE FUCK IS NICKI MINAJ?!?!?

[Coherent2010]

Jean Grae is probably the best female artist around right now, she is a great storyteller.

Check out Lady Essence, she shows a lot of promise.

[1111ilovemyself]

Jean Grae is dope! So underrated. shes way betta den lil kim nikki minaj nd lil mama. She almost as gud as lauryn hill.

[CorkySherman]

real talk!!!

[sely1028]

JUST HEARD HER TODAY... LOVE HER ALREADY... :) JEAN WHERE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? LOL

[diovino82]

you should see her in concert, amazing.

[jayyjayymusic]

people ask why she isnt "out there" well its because her lyrics have substance.. she actually has something to say... if you dont like what you hear on the "radio:" then turn it off and tell people about her

[batmandannyb]

@jayyjayymusic Well said

[AliBezzar]

@jayyjayymusic there is not enough love for the soulful sistas with something to say

so many good female emcees in the mix being ignored cos of the bigoted music industry that just cares about cars, money and ho's.

[jazzylp505]

This girl is BAD!

[inten5ive]

Absolute fire !! She Is a Legend in My eyes

[GeekinAintEasy]

That Webster reference is THE GREATEST.

[vlawd5]

y is she not in the spotlight?!

[QuoteNotes16]

god damn 9th chopped the shit out that sample,listen at 08sec how he pitched itdown,soo sick,cant forget about Jean.here delevery is fuckin amazing,the driveway is similar to arizona weather,say it nigga Hot,,hahaha jean is crazy

[Sunny066]

holly crap... why am i only discovering this chick now??

[DarkBro71]

@Sunny066 probably because unless you know someone who knows of her or you listen to Talib it's hard to discover her. She's had next to no coverage in the media at all. Be glad you found her . This is the best female m.c. since Ms hill.

[DCtheDemonChild]

@DarkBro71 i knew her as the chick who was on with Immortal Technique, had no idea until recently that was her in 'black girl pain'

[DarkBro71]

@DCtheDemonChild I gotta go hunt that Immorttal Technique record down. I was sleepin!

[oufan141]

@Sunny066 better late than never haha.

[MrDJKaaz]

@Sunny066 becuz u slept on real hip hop

[jk111977]

Jean Grae has been the most talented female rapper for a long time now. I like her dark lyricism on "Bootleg of the Bootleg.." album. "What up Flames" haha! Obviously a comic book fan. Can visualize it in her rhymes.

[roscoegino]

1 person couldnt get half a bar.

[MrPlayamade55]

she is n a leauge of her own as far as a female

[lekendy]

Life is not fair, she is soooo talented but not recognized but her time is coming! Jean keep on doing your thing you are the best female out there, and we know it! anyway.. people who know real rap know! keep it up, glory for you soon!!!! Love!

[HipHopcheerleader]

Dumb it it down Jean G, so ignant ninjas hear ya sis. Feel me? JG is an artist for critical thinkers. If u r suckers for beats move on. This sista is a lyricist. 5/5.

[mypurplemoon]

@HipHopcheerleader real talk, girl.

[HipHopcheerleader]

@sergioortiz1987 u betta PREACH on that one. It's crystal clear y NM has exposur, in comparison. Sex sells.

[ashtroboy0]

Amaaazzing, This walk I'm Talking about!!!! I know I'm late but I am FAN!!

[sergioortiz1987]

Jean Grae, will merk Nicki Minaji.......end of story.

this is true Hip Hop and it dont stop.

[OperationM6]

jeane grae is the most lyrical rapper ever even though she a girl

[muffyeagley]

@OperationM6 "even though she a girl" Tss... please don't make me kill you.. I don't need to go to jail right now.. I got things to do!

[xoCarlyRose]

Who cares what other people like.

Jean is killin' it, so does Nicki, so does Lil' Kim. There are many rappers out there that do their thing, in different styles. It's nice to enjoy a variety of rappers and sounds.

Maybe if people listened to the songs by mainstream rappers that don't hit the charts, they would realize it's not all random pompous raps; they are real people with real stories also.

[QuoteNotes16]

i bet if nicki listen to jena she gonna feel fucked up,not only show the girls how to rap ,half of the mainstream emcees cant fuck with her

[that80sblackchick]

It's official, I love Jean Grae!

[TheSunRisesInTheEast]

@that80sblackchick

No No No, I Love Jean Grae ! ;)

[that80sblackchick]

@TheSunRisesInTheEast :)

[DjSte4705]

@TheSunRisesInTheEast You both love Jean Grae! :D

[tripleogb]

@taytaydoll20 yeah your right i mean i really cant expect any better from a 13 year old of course this would be boring to your average 13 year old today .. your to wrapped around lil waynes and waka flakas fingers to recognize real rap when you hear and take that as confirmation that yes this is real hip hop

[tduncan93]

@tripleogb

age has nothing to do with any of it.. I'm 17 and ive been listening to real hip hop for years now and I know some 10 14 year old kids that listen to real shit too.

[tripleogb]

@tduncan93 and im 16 lol so i know age has nothing to do with it but in some peoples cases unfortunatley it does

[VersatileMusicTV]

why do i keep seeing Nicki Minaj name mentioned everytime i go on a Jean Grae song she not even be breathed in the same air if you support real hip hop lets buy it and stop buying hip pop its time the game changed back to its original roots

[pick8lock]

@VersatileMusicTV hip hop will split one corny ringtone beat oriented

other lyric and sick samples

[tripleogb]

@taytaydoll20 if shes boring to you its probably because her lines are exceeding your intellectual capacity so maybe you should seriously consider picking up a dictionary ..

[taytaydoll20]

Like if I was talkingg to you ; then i totally understand why you messaged back . But ididnt so like you should probably stop talkingg ta me like fa'real . Ha

[taytaydoll20]

she's kindaa boringg ;

[MoonmanCometh]

@taytaydoll20 If you think Jean Grae is boring, you should probably stop listening to hip hop... like for real.

[heyebonie]

She is REAL Hip Hop!!

[skinnyJEANking2]

No disrespect to them other emcees. But Jean Grae is the best to ever do it. And Don't sleep on NITTY SCOTT MC!

[Geezyone]

When are people going to appreciate a REAL mcee, Jean Grae?

[kaywhysince1980]

i listen 2 dis everyday..i love it

[SHEENALEACH]

@Stylus1997 out of curiosity - who do you think is the best female emcee?

[Netertaat]

in my opinion....SA-ROC WUD DESTROY MAJORITY OF THESE FEMALES FEMLE MCEES,SHES LIKE DA FEMALE VERSION OF ANDRE 3000

[Ace111694]

@BLACKSTAR237 You didnt get thumbs up Becuz yu spelled Grae like Gray thats...unforgivable mannnn

[BLACKSTAR237]

@BLACKSTAR237 JEAN GRAE>>>>DROPPIN THE XMEN PHOENIX ON THEM BYTCHES! DAMN! I BETTER SLOWDOWN...THE INTAKE OF HER RHYME SCHEME IS MAKING ME HAVE A MENTAL NUT! LOL NIKKI MINAJ IS AWFUL! LOL

[Stylus1997]

Jean ain't the best female emcee, but she's way better than most you can name - and that includes the mainstream examples people always name-check:

Foxy (relied on ghostwriters during the highlight of her career, 95-98)

Kim (Biggie wrote her best material)

Nikki (OK but makes cheap, pointless songs),

Lauryn (good, but over-hyped because there's so much trash out there)

Jean would bury any one of those "artists" and not even break a sweat. She is NOT the best male or female emcee though.

[90mv]

@Stylus1997 who is the best female to you ?

[queenray1]

@Stylus1997 I'm sorry disagree with Lauryn Hill, she may not have had a chance to record another album showin her skilz, but she was the best rapper out of the Fugees, and if you listen to her unplugged mtv where she spits over a guitar, she was a way better writer than Jean Grae, certainly not overhyped, i think you say that cuz you didn't hear much from her, there are some evidence also on mixtapes and songs that were never released, Lauryn was a true lyracist with much more to say

[xxOnIonExx]

@queenray1

Lauryn Hill is dope no doubt,,but i think people just seem 2 connect more with Jean Grae

[harddivej]

best female rapper.

[synkkthis]

Its cause those mainstream artists talk about the same shit, the same thing most people are into like (sex, alcohol, parting,) you know fake shit,

artists like this (not just Hip Hop) talk truth. no one wants to hear thaat.

except the underground :)

**put your hand in the air, and show how much the underground still cares :DD

[KevthePoet]

poetry

[101Capricorn]

No mama no mama no mama nooo nooo...anyways LMBO! she is sooo cool but dope!

[imPulse1919]

<--- CLICK FOR A DOPE YOUNG EMCEE FROM NC!!! u wont be disappointed :P

[skinnyJEANking2]

No disrespect to any of the female emcees in the game right now... But... Jean Grae is the best to ever do it.

[F4billionyearzag0]

@skinnyJEANking2.......I love Jean Grae but In my humble opinion......When Lauryn Hill really wantz to spit that fiyah? No other female emcee can touch her! Not even alot of dudes!

[skinnyJEANking2]

@F4billionyearzag0 Yup I'll agree. But as of right now, Jean Grae is the best to ever do it. Male or female. She's probably the best "lyricist" out of all of my favorite rappers. If you're wondering who I like check my page for (in my opinion) dope hip-hop!

[TheMota69]

wooo girl power

[duff479]

joo nice shit 

[executivesteve]

Only just found out her father is Abdullah Ibrahim as well! So much musical talent in one family...

[JaeRae0711]

learned of this woman few weeks ago...and was glad and disappointed at the same time...glad that i found her music, disappointed that no one knows who she is smh...anywho i am a fan, i can listen to her all day

[iimok]

i wish she marry me and we have little hip hop heads babys lol

[Sagefrakrobatik]

[kindredQ]

@Sagefrakrobatik

ha ha duhhhhhh

[JediMindTricks183]

@Sagefrakrobatik nahaha you got it all wrong bro. its Jean Grae > Everyone but like 20 MCs.

[MaaartynaM]

@Sagefrakrobatik no kurwa wiadoooomo,oczywista sprawa raczej.

[LogosNigrum]

@Sagefrakrobatik AS WELL AS MOST NON FEMALE RAPPERS ;D

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@LogosNigrum definetely though I would love to see a collabo with her and Eternia that would be pretty dope

[batmandannyb]

@Sagefrakrobatik Thank you!!!!! More specifically, JG needs no gimmicks. She doesn't have to add weird noises. She relies solely on her true, raw talent. Thumbs up.

[ThePhundumentalz]

@Sagefrakrobatik who in the FUCK IS NICKI MINAJ?!?!?

[th3rdfaceofthecoin]

she's exposed the mic to talent

[Dariea87]

Been along time since I hard a sister that blesses the mic so well.

[OSHITSUN]

I AGREE WIT ALUMNI .... AND NIKKI WHO? OOOH YEAH THAT TALENTLESS PIECE OF ASS.. HAHA

[ldpoetess]

@OSHITSUN Lol so true

[OSHITSUN]

ANOTHA GREAT FEMALE HIP HOP ARTIST (ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE NOT TO BE QUITE AT THE LEVEL OF THE LOVELY AND TALENTED JEAN GRAE): PSALM ONE (CHICAGO LOCAL)

[Zachdudeio2]

i was trying to look for female rappers other than jean grae, but the ones i found at least where pretty bad. either poppy or just bad. any suggestions?

[maccavel187]

@Zachdudeio2 Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, Rah Digga, MC Lyte and Lady of Rage are all dope

[Thedenia6]

@maccavel187 You hit hit right on the nail. I am from the MC lyte roxanne shante era. but you know something. I had never heard of jean grae for whatever reason but just by her first few lines I see she is problem! Definately on the list.

[shomari25]

please send a copyof this wit a pad and pen to nikki minaj,sex dosent always need to sell

[MissCallsShotz]

Islandorka14 said: Sorry but nicki minaj is always the best rapper not she

R U deaf? You honestly believe Nikki Minaj could spit and flow like this? That's like saying the dreadful Bubba Sparx is better than Pac/Big/Nas/Jay-Z/ ... H8 2 bust ur bubble but Nikki doesn't write most, if any of her own shit. Case in point Drake's I'm Ready 4 U is known 2 be originally written for Minaj.

Ur opinion is ur opinion but don't be blind check the facts.She could never keep up with Jean, it'd be a joke.

[Thedenia6]

@MissCallsShotz dam straight.... jean grae is a problem. Always will be. I am ok with Nicki but even giving that little bit is a stret\ch for me because I am from the mc lyte roxanne shante era but yet and still I am willin to given someone else a chance. But yeah jean and nicki.....absolutely no comparison. They shouldn't even be put in the same sentence so my bad!!!! hhahahaha

[bayareaestie]

@Thedenia6 I agree that there is no comparison between Nicki and Jean whatsoever I just dont see how the industry is on Nicki jock so hard and Jean is hardly heard of. I would love to see Jean knock her off her pedestal cause she is a TRUE female MC!

[Thedenia6]

@bayareaestie Thanks babe! Yeah I believe jean is much older though so I don't think she is on that level anymore as far as beefin and all that . She does her own thing. But she can't be touched thats for sure. Take care

[tpl89]

This is why I get pissed off when people say 'Hip-Hop's dead'; it's really not, you just have to dig a little to find the real artists.

[loonyboyhatch]

one of my favorite MC's ...point ,blank, period...

[Islandorka14]

Sorry but nicki minaj is always the best rapper not she :)

[kirtrevans]

@Islandorka14 u stupid

[90mv]

@Islandorka14 your not stupid its your opinion still minaj is far from the best

[TnTWarrior]

@Islandorka14 lmaoooo

[shomari25]

@Islandorka14 please dont come back and listen to this kind of music ur lost and dont knw facts.read more learn more change the globe.

[smurf485]

Wow. I've never heard of her until a few days ago when I saw her on My Mic Sounds Nice. I like her though.

[irongiant20012001]

is this 9th wonder on the beat?

[discojeff]

@irongiant20012001  Yes produced by 9th wonder.

[str8blk]

niceness

[dopeassbeat]

i LOVE how nobody has nothin bad to say about her! that's WHATSUP :)

[freaky123666]

Nicki minaj is a whore.

[JediMindTricks183]

She can smash 95% of anyone in the game male or female.

[Leidenspfad]

@JediMindTricks183 Absolutely true!

[asimone305]

Damn this is the kind of Femcee that i've always been looking for......not overly sexy and goes just as hard as a dude :)

[youreabird]

needs to take nicki's place ASAP.

that is all.

[ChiGal77]

@youreabird they scared of Jean, dat's why she aint gettin the props she deserve. I think (no, I know) that Jean would shut the game down for ALL of these so called female rappers. She will give 80% of the dudes a run for their money too, so they really ain't ready.

[jacqueline8591]

this song is tight :]

[ICHOSETOBE]

"I don't want to breath if it requires assistance, just shut down my system"

[MultiQuin10]

Jean Grae is an beast Yo this this was the first song I heard from her I was lookin for this for an mintue an I found it she got my respect

[JaZzOCiTyEnt]

[VindicoMens11]

Jean Grae, reminiscent of true female rappers like Queen, Lyte, Monie Love...BEAST!

[duck3400]
