Ebony's Eight of the Coolest Black Men

and why the hell.............is Jay-Z one?


THIS....is not the personification of COOL.

However, SOMEBODY over at Ebony Magazine thought to see it fit that he be apart of this 8 edition collectors set that's about to come out.

7 out of 8 aren't bad:



Obama - GREAT shot! His presence is DEFINATELY a sting for people like Al Sharpton who will NEVER understand why voters will never take him serious.

Billy D Williams - Hell to the yeah cosignin' with a back flip and er-thang! I know exactly why black women in the 70's swooned over that man. LOOK at him.


Prince - Nuff' said. Any nigga with Doe Eyes like that man who can STILL pull a bad chick despite bein' a size negative 2 in high-hills is the POSTER CHILD of cool.
Marvin Gaye - Nobody could sing Distant Lover like this man.


Denzel Washington - Another AWESOME picture. He's effortless. From the first time I seen him in Glory, jerkin' that tattered shirt off so he could take that whupping on his back, I KNEW he was cool.

Samuel L. Jackson - They can miss me with that one. Confident? Yes. Can he yell good? Yes. Personification of cool? That's up for debate.


Muhammad Ali - Before he took one too many shots to the dome, yeah he exuded confidence like no other.

& then we come to this last choice * sighs*

Jay-Z - Money doesn't automatically make you cool. He doesn't possess the quiet swag that was Billy D or Prince and havin' Superhead and Carmen Bryan suck easy on you does NOT automatically make you a ladies man. A whore's man? Yes. A LADY'S man? HELL NAH! This ain't nothin' but a charity vote. Hell, if they wanna get technical and include someone who had swag in their PAST like Muhammad Ali, then damnit this spot should have went to none other than:

Now HE was cool

LOL! You are too funny! That shot of Barack is timeless. Perfect photo. Hey, our boy Steven Russell posted about the success of the single, "No Air" of which he co-wrote on a bulletin on myspace. It has been certified platinum. Needless to say, I could not be happier for him. Just an FYI. Have a happy Fourth of July and be safe and blessed. Carol
