If, after this post and this week, if anybody steps to me and say females can’t rhyme, spit or flow I’m gonna mollywop the taste outta their mouths.

Then I’m going to turn around and ask them how my ass taste.

Lastly I’m going stand over their smoking hot carcass in a B-Girl stance and be like ‘Now What!’

Every year when I do the ‘Women In Hip Hop’ Thursday Night Feature it’s a smash:
http://msiahh.blogspot.com/2008/04/women-in-hip-hop-thursday-night-feature.html

The calls, shouts, emails, hate, etc during the show and after the fact is always off the meter.
Of course I talk reckless during the show but that’s nothing new.

What heads can’t get over and enough of is the fact that females CAN rhyme and do all the things male emcees can do (sometimes better, YES ESTRO).

The problem is regular commerical radio and video can’t get past the ass, titties and pussy poppin shots to spotlight femcees doing the real thing.
Raw and uncut.

No flashing lights and makeup re-touches.

No fake-ass, made up relationships to sell records (Brooklyn’s Don Diva, I see you.)

Just women rocking the mic holding her own.

So when people see it (or in that case, hear it) they lose their minds.

I digress.

Jeanius is that fire water. No disrespect to the Justice League, who pretty much all the guest spots are from, but Jean crushes each and every one of their features with her own flow everytime they pass down the mic. Which is how it’s supposed to be.
No way should an emcee show up on your album and show you out.

Her flow is so crazy, smooth and soft at the same time. Even the subtle diss to Mobb Deep (LOL @ them being put in a high chair!) is deceptively sweet. The My Story track even made me tear up and empathize for all the women who’ve been through the emotions and drama of abortion and the aftermath.

Even more important is that the entire album is relevant to women AND men and what’s going on right now in the world of hip hop:

From the stance of having a vagina, trying to make it and gain respect in a male dominated industry;
To any artist who struggles to get that paper, remain independently creative and not sell their soul to an industry devil.

9th Wonder Bread is on the boards for the duration of the disk. Unless he produces another album that comes out this year and it outshines this one I’m going to declare Jeanius the best produced album of the year. The samples and beats are soulful but at the same time versatile enough that I could imagine them on a non-Hip Hop/non-Soul album.

I can’t get enough of Jeanius. Each time I’ve spun it this week I pick up something fresh:
A new analogy.

An innovative outlook.

A moment of clarity.

A refurbishment of inspiration.

A new way to diss niggas who try to talk and get at me sideways cause I’m a female who knows, loves and represents Hip Hop to the fullest!

I’m done. Right now there are no other ways for me to co-sign on this album to make you go out and BUY IT. Just do it.
NOTE: I said BUY IT, NOT BURN IT.

Jeanius is just that great and worth the money. Ms. Grae’s best (& 4th!) album to date.

What real and true Hip Hop represents, inspires and just is.
