Horrible,How the fuck did XV and ScHoolboy Q not make it but they have bullshit rappers like Machine Gun Kelly and French Montana,proves that commercialism beat lyricism all the time in this crazy world.No one here is good except Danny Brown,Kid Ink and Hospin with Roscoe dropping occasionally drop alright bars.This years Freshman should’ve stayed back a few grades.

Deezy the industry is fucked , Needs to get infiltrated by the real rappers out there tp change it , Pretty soon this is gonna be POP Rap not Rap or it already is all you can do is spread the good shit and dumb on the Actors/Rappers

@Jackie, It was a vote…
[Reply]
To all of you people whining and complaining, I guess you guys should have voted, seeing as how the list was narrowed done via a vote on XXL’s website. Don’t complain if you’re gonna just keep sleepin.

Don Trip is a beast. Future sucks. Roscoe is kool. French is kinda weak, but kool tho. MGK is awesome. Hopsin is very different n pretty good too. Good class tho. Only 4 Im not familiar with at all. (Kid Ink, Macklemore, Danny Brown & Iggy Azaela). Lookin forward from all their music tho.
