Rob, any explanation for this image with 6’3 Young Thug

He can look over 2 inches taller Young Thug here with similar footwear. I was thinking pavement but ain’t no pavement giving you 3 inches.

@jesse dumont Drake is 5'11 at best😂 he wears lifts and lies about his height, that is why he only looks a couple inches shorter than J cole.

I've met him a couple of time's. I'm 6'0 in shoes and he an easy 3 inches on me. He's a typical tall person with poor posture which is why he doesn't always appear to be as tall as he is.
When he stands up straight he can look 6'4 depending on footwear. But again, he's usually taking photos with other rappers who are mostly shorter guys. Broke my heart when I realized Kanye was like 5'7

6'2" at best if Drake is a legit 6'0", which I believe he is. I've seen a video of him standing beside Drake and J Cole, if you Google Drake and J Cole in Google Images, it's the image where they're both on stage with their arms around each other and it's a blue looking image. J Cole only looks an inch and a half taller if that, Drake had about a 1/2" shoe advantage (maybe?) at most I'd say, which would put him at 6'2". I'd say a weak 6'2" or legit 6'2", but not a strong one, at his lowest. Definitely no more than 6'2" though. Doesn't even wake up at 6'3". Close though of course.

J.Cole is 6'2, maybe 6'2 1/2 at best. The screenshots below has J Cole standing next to 6'4 1/2 Colin Kaepernick who might be 6'5 in the morning. There's more than 2 inches of height difference between the two not accounting for hair.

I met him on his 4YEO tour. I'd say he's about 6"2 when I saw him. He was wearing boots as well. I looked back at the recording I had and recorded at my neck/chin level and he didn't look that much taller than the camera height. He wears a lot of chunky Jordans and boots as well so that may pull of the 6"4 demeanor.

When Este Haim (the tallest of the Haim sisters from the band HAIM) talked about meeting J. Cole before and hugging him, she said he was about 6' 6". She claims to be 6' tall herself, BTW.

He may just be 6'2" at his lowest. Keep in mind how much hair he has on his head. That makes him appear taller. Even cornrows can make someone appear or measure taller if they are thick. 6'2" barefoot at the lowest is a pretty tall height tho and undervalued. A lot of people will guess someone like this to be 6'3 maybe 6'4". People don't realize height varies throughout the day or that they may have no perception of it when they assume a 6'2" guy is 6'3-6'4 just because another person claims their shoes and this guy may not

Good upgrade. Still feel 6'2.5 is better though. Easy inch on jay z at least. Could still be 6'3 too. Definitely possible he grew an inch around 18 after high school.

-The inches of dense vertical hair I believe can add slightly to illusion of J-Cole being much taller than Jay-Z, but in all pictures he does look at to edge out Jay-z easily.
-This is a bit more diff 188-191cm ~[My estimated range]

J Cole I think is a little more than just 6ft2 flat. The same thing can be said for Ryan Reynolds.

hey rob ..i think he is definitely 189cm atleast....I remember watching a video of him some years back at wireless festival behind the scenes, where he shook hands with a uk grime artist scorcher who is nothing less than 188cm and j cole edged him out by around half a inch- a full inch . I'm still trying to find the video when I do I will post it...

Just curious Rob. I know you must have to do a lot of research into a variety of different celebrities and artists to get an accurate reading on their heights. Just wondering, which actors, celebrities, or artists are you fans of? Do you like any of the rap/hip hop artists you've researched lol? Do you get biased when giving their heights if you're a big fan?
