Is basically the living embodiment of 2pac

I dare say he is THE GREATEST EVER along with 2pac and biggie

Also happens to be the best of all time

True artist who actually has a message in his songs instead of following the status quo. Not to mention he still has a good beat in the song and still be able to reach a wider audience. He's also not ashamed to rap about what he believes in and be honest about himself and not make up this image about him being a gang banger or thug!


Listen to songs like "How much a dollar cost" or "DNA" (or Poetic justice) if you really want to understand what I'm talking about! - RaeMarie

6 J. Cole J. Cole Jermaine Lamarr Cole, better known by his stage name J. Cole, is an American hip hop recording artist and record producer.

Fantastic rapper and producer, at least top 3. in my opinion Drake, Tyga, and Kanye are very overrated and the top 3 should be:
1. Kendrick
2. Cole
3. Rocky

Tyga is number 3. I voted jermaine because he obviously won't beat k.dot but it's worth trying to get him to number two.

Second Best Dude. Simply put, he carries on traditional hiphop

How tygas above cole I DO NOT KNOW
