i could see J Cole being the 4th best rapper ever if only 4 rappers existed
Even then its a stretch
Nas, Black Thought, Pusha, Pac, Biggie, Rakim, Kanye, Big K.R.I.T., Andre 3000, DOOM, Mos Def, Common, Hov, Big Pun etc etc
So many more interesting rap artists than Cole even though he’s a good rapper with some solid albums
He’s massively overrated
Debatable but this isn’t “the most interesting rappers oat” respectfully
I have a lot of respect for Big Pun but nah he doesn’t register. Not enough work, Cole is literal leagues above him
Big Krit no
Andre 3000 doesn’t register, no solo material, can’t apply
Common and Mos are favorites of mine but Cole is basically a more well rounded and consistent version of them that had more impact and checked more boxes if were being objective
I understand Cole lacks some “interest” or “coolness” for some but his run is pretty hard to argue with
A lot of those names you’re naming just don’t have the resume
Cole is in a similar place as Common for me they’re similar and both just outside my top 10
Objective Cole gotta be over him tho
Pac and Ye are on the list too aren’t they, why you naming names that are on there lol

Cole is not a more well rounded version of Mos Def man what
2words really is the goat troll
The only high effort troll left. I respect him fr fr

Try to see where I’m coming from beyond the surface please
I love Mos more than anyone, yea I consider BOBS better than any Cole album
But after that it would be all Cole albums. Mos Def wasn’t able to appeal to the masses the way Cole was in the long run and part of it was timing but part of it was consistency
Cole was able to take the conscious lane and also be palatable and have impact on par with the biggest of his generation
Mos can’t say that. Mos wasn’t in a big 3 with Nas and Jay Z
Why are some of you mad at Eminem but have no issue with Drake? Drake shouldn't even be in the top 50, let alone at number 6. At least Eminem gets respect from other MCs and OGs, which means something.
J. Cole is definitely better than Drake. Nas is easily in the top 3, Nicki shouldn't even be on the list, and Bad Bunny or whatever the fck his name is doesn't belong here either. Glover hasn't been a rapper for ages, and Forbes should just stick to politics.
This is a f***ing troll list who made this
They have Talib Kweli Takeoff, MIA, Cardi B, Juice Wrld, Bad Bunny, Roc Marciano not even like these are bad picks its just so jarring and all over the place

Should i even reply to this?
The New Danger is miles above any project Cole has ever been evolved with even if its a feauture of producer credit
Its better than any project Cole was ever in a room for
No Gucci?
Gucci is f***ing trash, I wouldn't even rank him in the top 100.

The New Danger is hard for me to listen to personally, I would go with the Ecstatic next but I still think 2014FHD is better
I like childish gambino but him being in the top 30 has me dying
And they got asap rocky at 15
I love asap rocky this list is just random
lmao the media will forever win
