This is my 1st time catching a look at this year's XXL Freshman and man this is a weak class. There is no really big talent on that entire page. I honestly believe that they're putting their streak of creating big names on the line with this class. I've had my encounters with most of the artists on here and if I were a betting man I'd say that MGK would shine the brightest. Although, over the hiatus I have become a big French Montana fan, I don't think he'd garner the biggest buzz for a variety of reasons. But he's a niche rapper and I believe he's cool with that and I like em for it. Also Roscoe Dash, if he continues to swag on hooks could stay for a while. As for the rest "I don't even much know bruh".

Here goes part three of the Cyphers and I gotta say that K.R.I.T. went in and so did my homie Meek Mill, but damn Freddie Godson wat the hell yo? I was really pulling for you to finish strong but I knew something was gonna go wrong when they gave you like almost 2 mins. But watevvs it was straight check it out. read more

This version of the Freshman Cypher has Yelawolf, Kendrick Lamar, Lil B, Cyhi Da Prince. Not gonna lie before I listened I was like they fugged the opportunity for the perfect cypher by putting in Lil B instead of K.R.I.T. [by the way I still think they blew it] but I gotta say the Based God impressed lol he didnt suck and I actually thought it.....was....a...little bit....good. Kendrick once AGAIN shined the brightest but the cypher was good. And since K.R.I.T. wasnt in this one I now have a reason to watch the last cypher, but he better not drop a verse from a song he releases this month again -.-


But all I can say is......



LMAO this is so gay no matter what he was crying for

Never been a fan of this guy nor have I taken him serious EVER but the freestyle was solid. It wasnt bad or outstanding but it showed he isnt terrible and can hold his own weight. I gotta say the voice still irks the hell outta me but it was okay. And just to let yall he does have a fanbase maybe not the biggest buzz but some actually like him.  read more

This is the 1st of 3 cyphers for this class. So maybe we'll get something better than this because Im sorry this isnt very good man. Still wondering why they didnt do this with previous classes, but as somebody suggested we should also have XXL Class Reunion's! Sounds sick right? read more

Nice, nice real nice even GOOD perhaps  read more

Yela drops some sick dosage of flow on his freestyle for the XXL Freshman class. K.Dot still owns the title for the best one lets see if he can keep it. 


Oh and PS if I didnt post a freshman's freestyle that means I didnt like it, sorry man but you can always find it elsewhere read more

I like 7 out of the 11, but they're gonna leave people out on purpose so people like us can talk about it, its a marketing strategy cause I think they're aware that some of the Freshmen are WTF


Some of my Snubs:
Chip Tha Ripper, XV, Dom Kennedy, Laws


Damn Im sure I left somebody off my Snubs list [Now thats Irony] so tell me some of your snubs? read more

Shouts out to XXL for the inspiration and check to understand wat Im talking about

Okay let me see, Im more of the kinda guy who wants the rapper to go mainstream so I can say I was fuggin with him from the start. But it bothers me when everybody hops on sorta like Wiz when Kush & OJ and Black & Yellow dropped. Like I thought I wanted him to get big but honestly I didnt want to. Because I wanna listen to my well known guys [ie. Kanye] but listen to the guys that not alot of people know [ie Big K.R.I.T.]

And one thing I dont like about someone I like going mainstream is usually the quality of the music changes for the worse. And lets use Wiz again, I feel like he was always pretty mainstream in his bravado but his music was still catchy and clever. Now I feel he’s leaning on the catchy side and losing his witty lines that made me a fan. And it seems to happen to everybody now another example is Drake and dont get me started on him. But all in all I’d rather my fav rapper stay indy and get his grind on that way. So thats wat type of fan I am, if that makes any sense…

Soooo wat type of rap fan are you? And if you're a casual rap fan like you only listen to the radio and watever the DJ plays at parties say that! 

NOW COMMENT PEOPLE......like forreal...lol
