Big Sean is nothing special, Nicki Minaj can rhyme, and she's great in comparison to Iggy Azalea, but she's not my cup of tea (she raps about the same thing), Drake is nothing great either, though he's tolerable, and J. Cole is whatever. Not very good, in my opinion. Not a fan of him, at all. To put it simply, I'd never pay money to see any of the four rappers mentioned in concert.

Kendrick Lamar is poetic and uses his talent to discuss things like social issues and not always sex, drugs, and alcohol. It's refreshing. He reminds me of 2Pac, somewhat. I'd happily go to one of Kendrick's concerts.

Cole don't just rap about sex drugs and alcohol, and has produced a lot......some of Kendrick's beats.

Yeah J Cole needs some credit here. His last album was not about drugs, women, sex, etc.

Lean itself does not kill anyone. It's the irresponsible abuse of it that can be fatal. Keep in mind that the rappers who died using it all had preexisting health problems.

Never said he did.

Still not a fan. He's not a bad rapper by any means, I'm just not a fan.

Unfortunately his life ended too soon, but capital Steez definitely had potential

I guess you can say that about anything. Irresponsible abuse of it can be led to being fatal. There's really nothing great about sippin lean. It does nothing but deteriorate your life even more.

Not if you ask most people. They think he ended Meek's career.
