I mean that list is cool but my question is where is Skyzoo? To me he’s killing majority of those people on the cover and has one of biggest buzz in Hip-Hop we’ve seen in awhile.

Man this cover seems to be getting a lot of traction.

I knew this shit wasnt real…the album cover says it all.

And I was impressed by Asher’s “The Reading” too. I’m anticipating his release. I might have to whip up a beat for his song.

i’m putting my money on wale…i like gunz but how long is it before i get tired of listening to this nigga rhyming superfast?….the rest of them niguz don’t even look like they should be or could be your favorite rapper…ever!…fuck arond…you might get kicked out the barbershop mentioning one of them niguz….or defending they song…lol…good look on giving the up and comers a chance to shine tho’.

1.Wale (Better than lupe?)
2.B.O.B (bringing that old Outkast feeling back)
3.Currency (consistent)
4.Charles Hamilton (ok, too much hype)
5.Asher Roth (starting to get on my nerves)
6.Cory Gunz (money eating momafuka)
7.Mickey Facts (some good joint, some utter shit)
8.Kid Cudi (dunno, don’t care)
9.Blu (getting that red baby mixtape,but I think it’s just more 90’s nostalgia, but I dunno)
10.Ace Hood (that other guy)

Anyone I need to check out more?

Where is The Knux, Max B, The Cool Kids and GLC?

Who the Truth is on that cover:

1. Cory Gunz: I patiently await this young Jedi’s debut and continue to cop the tapes. Undeniable talent and skill.

2. BLU: This cat surprised the hell outta me with the BLU & Exile album. By far one my fastest faves since Jay Electronica (who I am not surprised is not on this cover, dude is mad reclusive)

3. Wale: gotta support the home team. Nuff said. DMV stand up.

4. Asher Roth: I can’t front on the dude. He’s not lying about nothing about himself or his life or his love for Hip-Hop and dedication to being his own MC. The mixtape was entertaining, hands down, and that’s what being in this business is about. All the love/hate talk is exactly what every/any new MC could want in starting a career, lol.

5. Charles Hamilton: I want to give this cat a chance. Just got his new one, “The L Word”. We can mos def relate on taste in women. lol

6. Mickey Factz: I want to give this guy a chance, too…

7. Kid Cudi: I am curious, may have to dig some songs up.

8. Uhhh, the rest–Currensy, Ace Hood. Hm. Ace. Hood. NYET, compadre. You’re wasting a lot of Def Jam’s reserve money. Currensy? I have no reason whatsover to even remember this cat’s name.

LOL WOW. DUDES TAKING L’S.

OKAY CUDI IS COOL I SEE HIM MAKING IT BIG. SAME THING FOR CURRENCY I THINK HE GOT A GOOD RUN FOR IT. I WANNA ROOT FOR CORY GUNZ BUT COME ON WHEN I TELL MY NIGGAS TO CHECK OUT SOME OF HIS SHIT THEY HATE IN ADVANCE. WALE NOT FEEDING INTO THE HYPE BASICALLY THE SAME THING FOR ASHER ROTH.
BLU AND MICKEY FACTZ I NEED TO HEAR MORE OF THERE STUFF. CHARLES HAMILTON HE DOES GOOD STUFF BUT I THINK HE CAN DO BETTER. ACE HOOD I THINK HE GOING GOLD HIS FIRST ALBUM HE DOWN WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. EVEN THOUGH HE IS FAR FROM THE BEST RAPPER ON THIS LIST. NOW WE COME TO B.O.B SOMETIMES HE MAKE SOME CLASSIC SHIT AND SOMETIMES HE MAKES GARBAGE. IT’S LIKE IT’S NOT EVEN THE SAME PERSON. HE NEEDS TO DROP A MIXTAPE NO GUEST JUST 10 12 SONGS THAT WAY WE CAN SEE IF THIS IS A REPEATING PATTERN.

Stop wit this freshman crap. The only reason any of these catz is on the cover is because the guys wit the talent and a chance to go far are to busy puttin in work in the industry to do a cover. Everyone of these emcee’s has HUGE weak points. Each of the seminars licked my taint. Ace Hood the worst of them all is the only one that held it down in that area. Lets see some articles bout mc’s that fuckin matter. Not this Factrothhamilton mash up. This’ll be the only xxl i wont pick up aside from the one wit g-unit. To support the artists on the cover is supporting the murder of hip hop.

kid cudi - day n night (crookers remix)

Except for B.O.B. the rest of these cat’s ain’t gonna make no real noise!!

Cory Gunz been had all the connects in the world but he still got the same flow and dumb ass name.

Asher Roth might do work for the obvious reasons and I can’t even bring myself to speak on the rest.

THE SOURCE fell off at the end but for a long time UNSIGNED HYPE meant something.I like XXL for article’s and what not but I’ve never respected your album ratings or choice of whose NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charles Hamilton rips its. he freestyles off the head better than anyone of em. Corey Gunz is one fast mother fucker, but a lot of his lyrics dont make sense…Asher Roth and Kid Cudi did a great freestyle together on DJ Enuff on Youtube. look it up. Wale is very talented, but if u think he’s better than Lupe…you should be ashamed of yourself. Blu is real chill and spits well. B.o.B. verrrry nice. Ace Hood did alright on that Cypher with Juelz, Fab, and Jada. but other than that he needs to step away from Officer Ricky. Lastly Currency, dont be like Lil Wayne. please.

where the hell’s drake on this list?

[...] the XXL Freshman Class of ‘09, I’ve continuously argued that B.o.B. has the highest potential and most overall musical [...]

1. B.o.B - Far & Away the Best of the “rappers” pictured on this cover.

2. Wale - His shit is legit.

3. Charles Hamilton - I have hope that he can be at least somewhat legit and put out a few good songs.

Don’t even want to bother putting a list of the rest of these clowns, they don’t even compare to B.o.-bizzle, Wale, and Ham.

Since this cover, Asher, Cudi, and Wale are the only niggas I’ve been really hearing about.
