"School me on Jean Grae - please"


          

So i've just started dating a girl who when we started discussing music said she liked Jean Grae (among others).

I've done the archive search on The Lesson but where do I start with Jean Grae so I sound less ignorant than right now?

Why's Jean Grae not broken through to the mainstream?

What tracks are the ones to really get to know?, what collaborations?, which producers she work with? etc..

Jean Grae sounds interesting, born Cape Town to South African jazz musician parents, came to US at three months.

her songs on Mr Len's "I Pity the Fool"

Attack of the Attacking Things and The Bootleg of the Bootleg EP are my fav solo projects from her. I could never get with Jeanious though.

great album, before the Jeanius album.


She never broke because she wasnt a mainstream topic kind of lady. I mean look at the "Taco Day" video for what I mean. The Jeanius album touched on her own abortions and shit, and was an album that was shleved for years. I also think that she has never had the proper label situation. But that is what Natural Resource was(when she was What What?) . Rooted in the underground to forever stay.


supposedly she is going to stop touring all together.

hip hop aside, her informing u about a few things u dont know is one thing.....her reading you books because u have a 5th grade education is another.

Thanks, I mainly just wanted a bit of understanding so I'll have a few tracks to throw into the conversation but yeah, i'm going to let her school me - and with her other music interests which don't really cross over with mine. She's a film buff as well as a serious bibliophile. Most of all she is funny. Somali heritage so she's got that cute Cushitic look.
