A growing trend, followed most notably by rappers Jay-Z, Biggie and Trick Daddy, is to carry a female MC under your wing.  The next to join that club (believe it or not) is Talib Kweli, who has added successful underground rapper Jean Grae to his Blacksmith label.  Similar to work released by Foxy, Kim and Trina, Jean puts out the sensually-charged single, Love Thirst.  What sets this go-round apart, however, is that Ms. Grae’s brand of baby making music sounds more like Common‘s Go than Luda‘s What’s Your Fantasy.  Let’s just say there’s actually some love involved this time.  Bringing along the aphrodisiac is producer 9th Wonder; Grae’s fifth studio album, Jeanius, hits shelves later this year.

Taking a different approach than the remy's and kim's, but there really is a big throwback feel. Almost reminds me of a some tlc songs, which isn't necessarily bad. But what was up with the song after 3mins?? Did she run out of lyrics? ...she essentially moaned for the last 2:30mins of the song...

I agree, I love 9th but this song was pretty wack. Jean Grae is talented though if y'all wanna hear a good verse by Jean Grae listen to Brooklyn In My Mind off 9th Wonders Dream Merchant Volume 2.

This is done pretty well. She has a decent flow and it is like poetry just as Talib Kweli raps, so I can see why he signed her. The thing is...I don't know if the world is ready for a girl that raps like Talib and into the spiritual "essence" of rap. The beat is good. I just don't think I would listen to it again because it doesn't stand out to me; but its OK.

Well I like her ...but the rest of the world wont. To be a successful femcee you gotta drop jaws you gotta be bad and better than whats out there. this is to boring. She reminds me of Floetry ol gul who talks over tracks I think this broad wants to be a singer who cant sing so she'll rhyme words instead of tunes.

she sound like she is at a finger snapping poetry ready just, spead up alittle but!


this flow is nice and I love the hook, but her delivery could have been down by any average rapper! no disrespect but there is nothing complicated about this, but it doesn't have to be.


next on the remix list - Jean give us a little bit of a rough sounding voice from a Tyreese or if your lucky see what D'angelo is up to these or either additions would pull this up over the wall between good and better then good

I've heard better from her. This sounds more like poetry than a song; although, it could be argued that songs are a form of poetry. She has the TALENT to be successful in the Hip-Hop scene.

Jean is not your "typical" female rapper. It's sad that there is such a blatant stereotype for female MCs, but its true. I hope the good people at Warner push her hard. With the right work, Jean could revitalize the job opportunities that so many female MCs have lost (Hi Shawnna and Remy).
