Karl Towns, D'Angelo Russell Snub Kanye West on List of Top 5 Current Rappers

Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell are two cold 20-year-olds.

During the second episode of their "Face 2 Face" series with DraftKings, the rising NBA stars ranked their top five current rappers.

Here's the list:

1. Drake
   
2. J. Cole
   
3. Kendrick Lamar
   
4. Future
   
5. Chance the Rapper
   

No love for Kanye West? Heartless.

To Russell's credit, the Los Angeles Lakers guard pushed hard for Yeezy, who released his popular album The Life of Pablo back in February. Towns didn't view that as current enough to be considered.

Lil Wayne and Jay Z were respectfully discarded, while Desiigner and Lil Dicky were cast aside with disdain by the unanimous Rookie of the Year in the opening seconds of the clip.

"Man, you disrespect 'Ye, though," Russell said while looking at their final list.

At least West didn't get Lil Dicky treatment.

"That's his name?" Russell asked KAT. "I've never heard of him."
