You might not have heard of Jean Grae, but she's officially better than Kanye. Proof? This song.
It's off her latest free mixtape, built off of a Kanye instrumental and chorus, which in turn sampled Aphex Twin's piano loop.
The lyrics are exceptional - metaphor-laden, intricate, by turns obscure and straightforward (my favourite line: I'm facing this February with less morals//Less normal, more Nellie Olesen, less Laura//Had it with explorations, less Dora. Yes, she just name dropped Little House On The Prarie, and Dora The Explorer. Kaboom!)
I'd expect nothing less from her. She's one of my most favourite artists. Even her tweets are clever.
