Ricky Ruckus Says J. Cole Is One Of The Greats

North Carolina rapper, Ricky Ruckus says he thinks J. Cole should be considered amongst the greats in Hip Hop history. Well, J. Cole has just one album out, and has been on the scene for just about 4 years, but I think I agree with him on this. J. Cole is one of the new generation of rappers that is really doing what Hip Hop was known for in the past...passing a message, in a very constructive and creative way.

"I wouldn't go as far as to say J. Cole is the greatest of all time, but he's definitely one of the greats. He's so underrated," Ruckus told SOHH. "His first album was one of my favorite albums of the last five years. Out of all time, Nas is my favorite artist, he mirrors Nas a lot, to me. Just past him being from North Carolina, lyrically and content-wise, his shows [are incredible]. If you've ever been to one of his shows, it's great. I don't see any bad things about the whole J. Cole brand. And to me, that's what makes you great. If you've got great lyrics, you put out a great album, you put in work, he's been grinding. He's been underJay[-Z] for four years, we heard about him but before is album came out he was with him for three or four years." (SOHH)
