P. Diddy way before Jigga. Diddy and Biggie had style way before Jigga. Jigga was dressed like a ni**@ until like ‘03 and ‘04. Enough with Jay-Z already.
Another vote for style that yall ain’t up on is Kenny Burns – Look his style up.
Peace.

I like the Marvin Gaye cover the best!. I’m a big fan of Marvin Gaye and that brotha was cool. But the coolest brotha out there is and has always been Lenny Kravitz but for some reason he didn’t make the cover but I hope he’s on that list or else Ebony isn’t doing their job correclty.

WILL SMITH, aka. Mr. BOX OFFICE!!

@Dre
I agree Lenny Kravitz is the coolest hands down!! lenny is the fucking man!!
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Does anyone have the entire list?
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:39 pm
na that jayz cover is tight, looking like a boss bout to snap his fingers and make somebody jump thru some hoops
its cool to say jayz like this when we all know what he used to look like.
we seen him go from ashy to classy right b4 our eyes

Obama looks like a black James Bond….Very smooth laidback and cool. Obama is the best cover.
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I agree with #11, but most people will think he’s too soft to be cool. He’s the damn fresh prince!
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:48 pm

July 3rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Wheres jamie foxx?
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
I’m glad Puffy isn’t on here – wearing that tired gray suit and black tie.
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Ja
I’m sure Diddy is on that 25 Cool Black Men Of All Time list but they didn’t make him a cover though.

Where’s ma baby Rick Ross?
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:07 pm
why aint will smith on a cover
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Let’s face it they only made 8 covers so they couldn’t include everybody. Ebony could’ve picked tons of other brothas from today and the back in the time like Harry Belafonte Sugar Ray Robinson Richard Roundtree (Shaft) and the list goes on and on.
