Jean Grae criticized a New York Times article by Jon Caramanica titled “For Female Rappers, Steadiest Gigs Are on TV” yesterday (August 11).
In the article, Caramanica writes about various female rappers who have succeeded over the years. “From the mid-1990s through the early 2000s, female Rap thrived, relatively speaking: Foxy Brown, Lil’ Kim, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, who were all stylistically distinct and sold millions of albums during those years,” he says. “But to find a critical mass of female rappers in 2014, you have to turn to another industry: reality television.”
Grae responded to this article with a variety of Twitter posts. Many of them are as follows:
When Jean Grae found out Jon Caramanica wrote the article, she responded to him directly.
Beyond releasing music, Jean Grae has also worked on her own web-based sitcom, Life With Jeanie, in the last two years.

Jean Grae ** complaining ** ?? Wow, that’s something new!!
And hey, is she wants to get heated, how about Michael Brown?!
First you complain that Jean is using her God given right to complain, and then you’re telling her what to complain about? #Patriarchy
Too bad, both of Jean’s parents were very talented.
“No. In Spanish: NO.”

Steady gigs are far and few between for most actors much less no talent whores engaging in cat fights.
Jean Grae a real one but she definitely took an L here
Homegirl didn’t even read the article and instantly caught feelings lmao
Jean Grae is the biggest whiner in hiphop. I stopped checkin for her after Babygrande dropped her.
She’s been complaining about something– NOT social justice!!– since her first album…
Funny how it’s always everyone else’s fault but hers.
Priliged #cunt, say something about #MikeBrown you so jacked up Jean.
