I m just getting up on Jay Electronica after being blown away by exhibit A C joints. Some other Dilla joint where spazzed out, plus he produces. J-Cole still has the edge for me on the basis of the Warmup mixtape.
I still think J. Cole is the future Nas (authentic, veratile, creative, fresh flow;
Drake the future Jay-Z.( dude got skills, flow, but deciding to go the pop/mainstream route; fair enough)
B.O.B the new Dre 3000,
Wale just wack, not wack but certainly not anything special
I 'd rank it like this 1. J-Cole, Jay Electronica, Nipsey Hussle (sound and look strangely reminds of Prodigy + Snoop), Drake
