      hopsin gonna stay underground. hes got mad talent tho

    • JSoong  | February 22, 2011 5:14 pm

      I’m not usually one to say that a guy should be on the list just ’cause I like his music, but seriously. Hopsin and Swizzz make a heck of a lot more sense than Meek Mill and Diggy.

      • Court  | February 25, 2011 2:21 am

        TAKE MEEK MILLZ & TWIST OFF!!

        • geostorm  | March 2, 2011 1:45 am

      • ckid  | February 27, 2011 11:44 am

        you must be smoking diggy is nice

      • beast  | March 15, 2011 7:30 pm

        Maybe hopsin but not swizz. Hopsin aint on here cuz he doesnt have a buzz like the rest of the dudes on here(even tho his buzz is pretty high). YG,twist and lil b suck. Diggy can spit but he aint ready for the cover yet.

        • EJ2BASED  | April 11, 2011 12:47 pm

          yo bitch sucked my dick cuz she stupid

          • cbadsunsfan  | May 22, 2011 10:48 pm

            are you retarded?

          • MBAMKingpin  | July 31, 2011 3:52 pm

            you fuckin stupid Lil B is fuckin trash want evidence? he’s signed to Soulja Boys label. Meek Mill is fuckin RAW Diggy Got Skills Hopsin IS RAW Yelawolf is trash to me Mac Miller is a cornball pothead

      • kanyin  | April 25, 2011 12:09 pm

    • Swagg  | March 11, 2011 11:09 am

    • Craig  | March 16, 2011 7:18 pm

      Him and Jahadis bro, they both should be up here if you ask me

    • suckmyD  | March 21, 2011 8:28 pm

      where the fvck is los from baltimore? He put out 5 mixtapes and all of em are classics. g5, g5.2, shooter, zero gravity, welcome to swaggsville.

      his a milli verse was voted the best in the world back a few years ago. he should have been made the cover.

    • shadytalez  | March 28, 2011 11:12 pm

      was hopsin in the running for this?

    • dick  | April 9, 2011 11:26 pm

      the end of the world is near, music cant get any worse

      • akbamaboi  | August 30, 2011 3:14 am

        diggy nice, cyhi ok, but yela and krit 2 of the best artists period…ttown 205 bytchez

    • eric  | April 29, 2011 12:55 am

      yessss hopsin

    • Amir  | October 14, 2011 9:04 am

      Right? he clowns on half these fools

  2. TT  | February 21, 2011 5:43 pm

    I wonder who leaked this ish first. If it was someone on staff they should be chopped up and fed to the wolves. I’m not mad it leaked, but y’all should be.

  3. funnelcakez  | February 21, 2011 5:44 pm

    What a truly awful list. Where is Vado? Emilio Rojas? XV?

    • Huh  | February 21, 2011 6:39 pm

      who are those mexicans you speak of?

    • Ayy Pii  | February 21, 2011 7:06 pm

      Salute to everybody on there!!! They got they own lane and it’s time ppl start recognizing that!!! Everyone on this cover deserved the spot because they were grinding the hardest!!! Alot of artists can take notes from the promotion grind they were on cuz it worked for them

      • Dat Dude  | March 12, 2011 11:17 am

        I agree that these guys hustle super hard, but hard work is only part of it. If Vanilla Ice released a mixtape every month and toured everywhere it wouldn’t mean he’s gotten better. Lil B is and will always be Ass… The Pack was pretty dope but he was ALWAYS the weakest one.

      • TigerPawRaw  | July 1, 2011 10:50 pm

        I’m so sick of how when people are talkin bout how ill someone is, they mention the way they promote themselves, or how many views they got on youtube, or any other shit that ISNT their music, which is the shit that’s important (or at least was, way back in the day {I’m 28 now, and been bumpin hip hop serious since i was 14}). I feel like ever since mid 2000′s, arm-chair a&rs/execs been floodin’ the net, and the shit is irking the fuck out of me. Nothin against any of the cats on this list (I actually really fuck with a few of these dudes music this year), or not saying it’s not smart to promote yourself like some of these guys have, just sayin’ people shouldn’t be using those things as ways of validating how ill a rapper is. That shits stupid.

    • cirq  | February 21, 2011 8:39 pm

      vado turned this shitty cover down.. WHERE THE FUCK IS DOM KENNEDY?? DOM>>>>>>>>>>>>>ANYONE ON THIS FUCKIN COVER

      • thezenut  | February 22, 2011 11:57 pm

        DOM IS GREATNESS AND HE AINT ON THIS SHIT..AYE THIE LIST IS RETARDED..LMAO AND THEY GOT LIL B..LMFAOOOOO…

        • RaydioRaheem  | March 5, 2011 5:16 pm

          WHOEVER CHOSE LIL B TO BE ON THIS LIST IS DEAF BLIND AND STUPID SMH

          • Truelife  | March 9, 2011 6:08 pm

            Hell yeah homie, I feel you on that shit. Lil B is garbage!

          • Michael  | March 11, 2011 3:33 am

            And your hella gay lil b is the shit

    • gcracka  | April 28, 2011 7:54 pm

      right?? emilio rojas is fuckin ill

  4. lawrence tsang  | February 21, 2011 5:47 pm

    Its a shame that you seem to miss a few people every year

  5. aboynamedandy  | February 21, 2011 5:48 pm

    I’m glad Mac Miller, K.R.I.T., Yela and Diggy got on the lost, but LIL B? WOWWWW.

    Smoke DZA, Young Scolla, XV and LEP Bogus Boys need to be on it

    • vinnie  | February 21, 2011 6:18 pm

      thats what i’m saying.. lil b is a joke.. i wish chip tha ripper made it instead of him..

      • XXL  | February 21, 2011 6:30 pm

        it based on fan base for real and lil b has a big fan base and lil twist does to

        • T  | February 21, 2011 6:39 pm

          What a stupid thing to base it on. Isn’t the point of this to HELP artists get a bigger fan base?

          • Taj  | February 21, 2011 7:13 pm

            fan base is the only way to truly judge, skill is hard to judge because different people have different views on what makes a rapper good or garbage. fan base lets you know they are being heard and are wanted to be heard. even if you dont agree their mass of fans would tell you they are nice

        • the purple giver  | February 21, 2011 6:46 pm

          thats mad wack. talent should be more of a chosing factor then fan base. shit, more people know of soulja boy then J. Cole but we all know that Cole is a farrr better artist. weak

          • NLA  | February 21, 2011 7:48 pm

            Please do your research before you start talking about someones talent. Most of the music you see from Lil B on his youtube is a joke. He has some real talent if you look at a lot of his stuff. Like songs from “Evil Red Flame.” He is a popular newcomer to the game and is doing his thing so stop hating

          • J J  | March 23, 2011 10:39 am

            the purple giver | February 21, 2011 6:46 pm thats mad wack. talent should be more of a chosing factor then fan base. shit, more people know of soulja boy then J. Cole but we all know that Cole is a farrr better artist. weak

            ^ I agree using fanbase as a choosing factor is just wack. And fuuck, the fans don’t know what’s dope

      • ceno  | March 13, 2011 3:57 pm

        Yea wheres my mans chip. cy hi! yela! mac! and k.r.i.t, i respect everyone on here lil b be hustling and doing his thing you cant hate on that i never heard atleast 4 of these dudes though

      • BasedInAk  | March 24, 2011 7:22 pm

        stupid broke ass niggas hatin on Lil B, he prolly fucked yo bitch. he has more money than all the haters on here added up, fuck all you hatin ass niggas, i be reppin that based shit

        • IsupportRealMusic  | August 14, 2011 5:43 pm

          Only reason he’s got all that money is the uneducated fanbase he appeals to. Ya want real hip hop? Try K.R.I.T, Mac, or CyHi; be warned though-if ya like B, you may have a hard time followin real hip hop

      • PD  | April 5, 2011 7:52 pm

        “RELE?” your a fucking idiot .

        then to all the haters, fuck you, you aint on the list.

  7. DP  | February 21, 2011 5:52 pm

    Shoutout to mac, Krit, Yela, diggy, and cyhi. yall fucking suck though. Lil Twist? No dom kennedy? XV? I see the Lil B appeal so I’ll let that go but yall forgot dom and XV for 2 straight years. I know twist just got it because of young money. He has never made a good song.

    • ARI P  | March 2, 2011 5:50 pm

      Its obvious XXL does not like XV, i gave up on the freshman list ever since last year when they put OJ tha Juiceman on the list
