I’m about 30 minutes away from heading out to Osaka for some good eating the off to Mystere (shh, Lexx doesn’t know yet). I drop by my main j-o-b one last time and see a disheartening newspiece from my man William. The title… Jean Grae Retires? According to the report, Jean seems to leave a “I’m out” type blog on her MySpace with lines like “I will always love what I consider to be tru hip hop music… from the bottom of my soul. I hope you will continue to distinguish those who are contributors to the evolution of hip hop and other black music as both an auditory stimulation and a culture, taking care that they are put in a position to do so.” Now nothing is concrete, but it’s hard to ignore the Jean Grae Saying Peace Out name and the only picture on her profile (shown above). Check it out for yourself though…

Wow… that is devastating news. terrible. fuck
wow, another Too Short/Master P/Jay-Z/Saigon. wonder how long this will last, probably til Kweli gives her another paycheck
hahahahahahaha, this just came to me……MISS SAIGON!!!!!
they both retired on myspace
and he came back, bet she will too
disclaimer: weed makes you think unfunny shit is funny
Awwww this better be a prank on her end man……She is one of few MCs still spittin heat right now….
So what’s gonna happen to that 9th Wonder X Jean Grae album? Goddamnit!
whats is she gonna do?? start applying for 9 to 5 jobs??? i dont think so…she is just getting frustrated im sure. miss saigon is right. hahahahah
I’m not believing it…she is ridiculously funny on a her myspace blogs sometimes…so she might be pulling a fast one on us and in a couple days there will be a “just joking” post…
At least I hope so
Either that or she reappears as “Phoenix” or “Dark Phoenix” and drops her album under that name. Jean has “quit” about 20 times in the past 10 years to my knowledge. Read her old interviews for proof or just ask Mr. Len, Pumpkinhead, Will Tell or Questlove.
She’s drop two LP’s in 2008 either way.
One.
yo check the tats on her fingers….if u read the letters backwards it reads “SIKE” (if the letter on her pinky is actually an “S”, its a little hard to make out….)………sooo im thinkin its just a big joke
*** correction, dont read the letters backwards just flip the S and K around
yea i saw the “sike” on her hand too…. but honestly… i had that 9th/Jean album years now it seems… and what else has she dropped?
i don’t see me caring very much about her retiring.
It’s a hoax because there has been no official statement from Blacksmith/Warner and it clearly does say “SIKE” on her fingers in that pic. I caught that when I saw it on Smoking Section and ReaListener caught it here first.
One.
She Just Dnt need to quit, Hold Tight Jean Campaign is about to start
[...] Retired? Nah, hopefully not. These two tracks go against that notion and I’m excited about that. First up we got a remix to Jean Grae’s Love Thirst, featuring Busta Rhymes and produced by 9th Wonder. Shouts to OKP for the hook up! Then we have a track my man Khal sent a few days ago. Off The Herbaliser’s Same As It Never Was. Jean and The Herbaliser always come up with some dope collabs and this is no different. [...]
