GQ Unveils The 10 Most Stylish Men in America

GQ Magazine unveils its March edition featuring The Ten Most Stylish Men in America. The list is topped by the magazine cover model, Justin Timberlake and includes: Mark Ronson, Alexi Lubomirski, Andre Balazs, Kanye West, Sid Mashburn, T.I., and Jason Schwartzman. While I agree with MOST everyone on this list, because I am sorely disappointed in Brother West, I challenge his award.

Kanye, I was such a fan of yours, and now you have me wondering what the ham sandwich is really going on. KNOW THIS, bruh, I am praying desperately for you!
