Big Sean and Big K.R.I.T. round out the list.
We’re surprised Wale didn’t add himself to this list, to be completely honest. In the past, the Washington D.C. native has had no problem reminding us all that he’s one the greatest to have ever picked up a microphone. In his defence, he’s absolutely correct. Wale has a special gift and he doesn’t really get enough credit in the mainstream. We’re currently counting down to the release his next album, which should be an enjoyable ride, and as we wait, the recording artist felt a need to engage with his fans through a question-and-answer session. One the things his fans wanted to know dealt with his own list the best rappers from his era, which he answered without missing a beat.
Wale is one the more unfiltered members the music industry. He says what’s on his mind and he always shows love to those he considers to be great. Today was one those days when the “On Chill” rapper revealed his own picks for the most skilled rap vocalists his generation. Responding with a simple list names, Wale issued a respectable fering: “Dot Cole Sean KRIT Meek,” he wrote. Kendrick Lamar was a given and some would argue that J. Cole was also a clear choice for his list. Big Sean, Big K.R.I.T. and Meek Mill were likely the tougher choices.
What do you make his picks? Earlier today, Wale took to Twitter to express his frustration at how his album rollout is going, noting that somebody on the inside may be trying to set him up for failure. Check out that thread here.
