Original Content Running The Jewels & The Game: An Argument For Killer Mike As The Top MC Of The Past Three Years <p>Ask most Hip-Hop fans who’s been running the rap game the past three years, and the answers would mostly be the same; Kendrick Lamar…Drake…maybe some J. Cole. Even with somewhat of an agreement, there’s no science to this. There’s no exact formula of determining who is on top. Is it record sales?

Using that logic however would leave justification of our culture up to whoever is buying music…whoever. By Bruce Smith January 15, 2015
