Red Cafe Names His Top 5 Hottest Rappers

I remember hearing Red Cafe for the first time on a DJ Whoo Kid mixtape back in my second year in college...i think that was 2003. For someone i had never heard of, i liked him instantly. I started telling people about him, but i didn't here from him in later years. He started buzzing again a couple of years back...and then he signed with Bad Boy Records. Diddy has promised to drop his album next year...2012. Anyway, he was recently asked who he considers the hottest 5 rappers in hip hop right now, and his answer is below-



"Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Drake, Fabolous, and a toss up between Andre 3000 and Kanye," Cafe said in an interview. "I've been a fan of hip-hop from the early days. Hip-hop was just putting words together and having fun. Then rappers like Nas who rapped about the neighborhood and things that we were going through. And Biggie Smalls. I got a story too. My stories are interesting. I did it for fun and then people started getting interested. Now if your music is being appreciated, people want you to continue because it helps them get through their days." (Global Grind)



It's his list, so i can't judge it, but if i were to, i would pick Kanye and not Andre 3000. Right now, Kanye is hotter than Andre. Personally, i think Andre 3000 gets away with so many B.S. Of cos i know he is lyrical, but he made a full r&b album, but no one complains about that. But they keep giving Drake a tough time. Anyway, that's just my opinion.


If i am to name the top 5 hottest in the rap game right now, i would say- Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, and The Throne (Jay and Kanye west)...i wish i could squeeze Big Sean in there too.
