3. J. Cole
I want Cole to be number one so bad. He is one of the few rappers that I can listen to for days straight and not get tired of, but he doesn’t have that album that defines his career yet. I believe that the other two artists above him both do. I love Cole World: The Sideline Story, but in all honesty it aged terribly. Really though after Born Sinner drops, I may have to come back and revisist this list.
