Jean Grae Leaving the Game?

Jean Grae’s latest Myspace entry suggests that she’s calling it quits.

Peep game:

Everyone who has been on this ride with me since the beginning and continues to be a supporter of music that makes you feel something true and vulnerable and honest by being just that.
It’s been a wonderful and awful journey all at the same time. Mostly leaning towards the wonderful part..lol.
Thank you for letting me share what I could with you and sharing yourselves back, as you have really been the reason that I kept on.
It’s always nice to know that you could be the voice of someone who didn’t have one, or know just how to say it.
No comment or letter or statement of appreciation has ever gone unnoticed.
I love to write, I love to be able to create imagery and a world out of just words.

I will always love what I consider to be true 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.
Thank you listeners, whom I consider my friends and family….

Enjoy…. see y’all around..

It’s been amazing.. thank you again. [Jean Grae's Blog]

That entry, coupled with the fact that the above pic of her is the only thing left on what used to be her profile (along with some audios), implies that she’s either bouncing from Myspace or leaving the game altogether. No official word from the BlackSmith camp yet.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Shit.

I’m gonna cuss up a storm.
Her raps are fuckin’ dope, I’m sad as shit she’s leaving.

I wonder if there’s problems with her and Kweli, hope not.

2. Say Says:

I don’t see how it implies anything at all.

Anyway, if it’s true, no big deal, really.

3. Mjlovesthekids Says:

Pretty damn big to me.

For a couple years, there haven’t been any real female emcees that have much presence on the mic except Jean Grae.

Had she been introduced to the mainstream it could’ve been something powerful but…
doesn’t seem like it’s gonna happen.

Disappointing.

4. J to the AAP Says:

Hope it’s not what it seems, there aren’t much female emcees of her caliber in the game right now. Still waiting on that official Formula…

5. J to the AAP Says:

Formula=Jeanius.

Gotta go get my morining coffee, damn.

6. Rizoh Says:

Morning coffee? What time is it over there?

7. J to the AAP Says:

When I was typing that it was monday morning 8.15 am, just fired up the computer at my job. We’re a couple hours ahead over here in Europe. It’s 4:09 pm right now.

Thought you knew you’re worldwide Riz! ;)

8. Rizoh Says:

^LOL!

So, basically, you guys age faster.

9. GET EM GENIUS Says:

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
why? WHY?

10. esbee Says:

I don’t know how to feel about it if its really true. Someone on OKP mentioned the fact that homegirl routinely pulls these kinds of stunts as jokes so its whatever until Talib and Corey say something official about it.
