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

LOL, I actually voted for Jean, but it's not that farfetched to say LH is better.
This thread needs a poll. -

ROFL.
Those quotes MEAN nothing, ? ...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 ? tune ass is gonna pay for that next visit to psyche ward, stupid. -

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 ?
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 ? or cuff mics
It’s my ? Phonte, Based ? , 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…

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, ? ? -
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 ? I tried to make that ? 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 ? 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
? 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 -

The fact that you had the nerve to compare ? to Lauren's first album says alot

From what I see, L Boogie is more marketable, but Jean is just as much of a monster on the mic and each in different songs get it better then the other

the same with Buddens and Nas IMO
Buddens can make songs just as well as Nas but people love Nas more -

Jean> Ms. Hill
lol @ Jean Grae having "greatness" when she only has one fan on the entire IC. Punisher, you're all alone dawg. Give it up. Everyone wants L-Boogie, no one wants the nobody. -
Lauryn Hill on the Score WAS better than Jean. Then she dropped an album full of R&B and Soul music with no raps. Then she followed it up with that Unplugged joint.
Hip Hop in the 90's was so desperate for credibility and mainstream respect that we called it a Hip Hop album for some reason.
In reality
Jean > L. Hill based on albums and solo rap songs -

lol people are actually comparing Jean Grae to Joe Budden and Lauryn Hill to another one of Hip Hop's all time greats, Nas!
Punisher, just delete your account fool. It ain't workin out for you. -
You seem to only like rappers because they're popular...
Please. Lauryn Hill and Outkast were popular when i was just a little kid. I like good artists. I take everything into account. Lyrically, I give Jean Grae the edge. As a complete artist, Jean Grae is not touching Lauryn
<
You gon' tell me i like Goodie Mob only cuz Cee Lo's popular now? C'mon now -

ROFL @ you purposely omitting the part in that 2nd quote where dude gives Jean props for being a "monster" on the mic.
? , quit it. -
Do you deny Budden and Grae have incredible ability on the mic with presense and technical skills? What sets L Boog apart by the way is her ability to sing and play an instrument, it makes her more versatile
-
And ROFL @ me getting an ass whuppin, on ANY topic. It has NEVER happened.
Take at good look at your thread. It's backfiring as you type!
I know what you're thinking... "damn... not again!"
