Ebony’s 25 Coolest Brothers of All Time

Sandra Rose July 3, 2008

Ebony magazine has compiled its list of the 25 Coolest Brothers of All Time. 8 different covers accompany this collector’s issue including Barack Obama, Jay Z, Muhammad Ali, Marvin Gaye, Samuel L. Jackson, Prince, Billie Dee Williams and Denzel. Not sure why Jay Z is on the list. I could understand if this were the 25 coolest camels issue. But, I digress. That’s a S-H-A-R-P pic of Barack Obama. I can see the DC political groupies salivating over that one. Michelle, watch yo’ man!

obama is fine az hail, cot dayum! Please please Barack, no Bill Clintonesque moves when all the women be on your fine azz, and yes pls Michelle handle your business for the country’s sake by all means.

Next topic–now Sandra. Cmon now. I do stan for Jay Z, I admit, but the Ebony subject is the coolest, not most handsome, black men. And I’m sorry, to 10 out of 10 ppl, white black blue or brown, Jay Z is the EPITOME of cool, so he is most deserving of this accolade indeed..and you know it Sandra boo boo, so pls stop hating..at least this time:)

I NEED that prince cover in my life. Hell, I want them all. I love seeing positive images of black people! And yes Jay is THAT guy. He’s had the most impact on Hip hop in the last 10 years more than any other figure. Let it go Sandra. What did he ever do to you?

Yes, Jay-Z is cool as he**! I have always thought that about him. Prince, of course we know he is! Billy Dee and Barack Obama-enough said. I read this the other day in Barnes and Noble and should have gotten the issue then. However, I will be making another trip to get the issue.

I am with you sandra, Jay Z is not in this class of brothas. But alas the young, ignorant, and immature will disagree.

@Sandra

What he do to you? It must be something because you really take anything with Jay-Z personal. How does that song go oh yeah “Hi Hater”

Ebony did a great job on this one. I can’t argue with their picks other than Barack. I don’t really think of him as cool. He’s fine as he11 though and if I buy any of these covers it will be his. For the person who said Billy Dee was outdated, you must not know about him. When I first read about the issue I knew Billy Dee had to be on the list and should be #1. He maintained his sexy coolness for several decades. Prince is the only one on the list who comes close in terms of coolness longevity.

I copped the magazine and pretty much every person that people said should have been on the list were. Even people I would have wanted on the list were on there. They did a good job.

It seems they took people from all walks of life. And as much as I want to agree with you as far as hip hop goes Jay is that man. And what he lacks in look he certainly makes up with swagger.

That’s a DAYUM GOOD pic of Obama, and The Jigga Man is looking pretty darn dappy himself. I would love to see all the covers.
