So Dream dumped Christian Milian for Fabo? She is in the new maxim talking about nick cannon and kissing matthew mcconaughey.

Dream is an R-Kelly clone, but he makes good records and is a beast with the writting.

“Fag”-u-lust? One of the best lyricists to come out of NY in the last 10 years, one of the few holding NY down.. He’s gotten a tad bit lazy since the last album, but the boy is no slouch on the lyrics, knows his lane, and knows how to stay on then radio

so real talk, it should be an issue about how hip hop went down the toilet….

Is there going to big a big deal made about this cover, this month?

Will Dream’s appearance on the cover be questioned?

Will bloggers argue Fabulous’ “relevancy” in today’s market?

Is this the R&B, i.e. “rap and bullshit” cover of XXL Mag?

Do they ask Dream does he pinch his nose to produce such chart topping nasal constricted notes?

Is this cover > last month’s is so, then why?

So many question’s, so many fruity-flavored answers and arguements.

^No, but you’ll see quite a few arguments for XXL to give the cover to some obscure underground rapper only know to said blogger or to give the cover to some old washed up, non relevant MC, that said blogger still clings to.

covers are gettin wack… i guest jeezy is next111

Faboulous is a BIG step up from the losers on the last cover. He is a proven MC, and can show and prove on all fronts lyrically, commerically, and has a fan base of both sexes.

He is a good cover because he doesn’t need the ICE, and jewelry to be a factor. The faggots you had last time are nothing without their ice and their dances.

I’ve been following XXL since the jump.

BUT PUT SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON YOU’RE COVER AND I WILL HAVE YOU’RE BACK FOREVER!

COMMISSION!

What the hell is the dream’s shirt all about?

so homo.

u need SH on your august cover, as thats the month where hiphop is born again.

COMMISSION!!! Wait… I don’t think I’m part of that… Heh heh. Silly me.

What’s good, $yk? I am still waiting for you to hook ya boy up with that iMovie… but nonetheless… I can’t cosign on a Slaughterhouse cover, homey… for me itd be like the Flavor of Love girls getting the cover or King a few years back. Yeah, that shit look hot at first until you start reading and see only what you been observing for the longest…

Now, I hope the Slaugterhouse project succeeds, but I can’t fathom a cover with these guys.

This a better cover than the last one…shit was a disgrace I’m sorry to say…

Back 2 Back FAIL

Damn I mean Fab has been catering towards the ladies a little harder than usual but who the fuck are ya’ll looking forward to seeing. Of course their going to promo his ass on the front page since his album dropping so thank def jam marketing for seeing him. The dude goes hard most the time and I’m from the south speaking on that.

*phone rings, “I Love Your Girl” playing*

The-Dream: *Christiana Milian picks up* Hello?

Fabolous: Whaaat’s goo-oh shit….Uhhh, is Dream there?

CM: Sure, hold on… *yells through the house*
Baby, that’s enough bath water. Telephone!

TD: Yo, Who this?

F: Yo! It’s F-A-B-O! What’s good, nigga?

TD: Ahhh, shit man, chillin’ wit wifey, you know. Bout to rub her feet, feed her some strawberries, write a song for her & shit. What you got goin, G?

F: Chillin mayne. Lookin’ at that XXL cover. Yo, I’m thinkin, cats might think we kinda soft & shit. I figga’d we need a publicity stunt. Let’s beef, kid…

TD: What? Nah, not The-Dream. I’m about love, *kisses Christina on the cheek*, dog. W.W.R.K.D?

F: Fuck is that?

TD: What Would R. Kelly Do?

F: The fuck?

TD: Yeah, I ask myself that question a lot…..

F: Yeah, aight sonn. Umm, I’mma g’head & let you lounge witcha honey. Holla back, young’n.

TD: *giggles* Stop girl, that’s my spot. Oh, aight then Fab, ay, I’ll get at you when that shit hits the newstands. Hello? Hello? Must be a bad connection…….

*hangs up*

I’m a huge fan of Fab! I have come to love The Dream as well. Fab is , hands-down, the best at spittin punchlines. This is why I call him ” The King od Punchlines!”

Dis iz sum surreal shyt cuz I was just sayin how dey was gunna put Fab on da cover earlier 2 my homey. I was readin through da last mth issue n said shit who else album comin out n da nxt month or so? watch I bet dey gunna put dat nigga Loso on da cover. Sure enuff I was rite. I guess Def Jam is the new Bread and Butter for XXL

man….I was alright with gucci mane oj soulja boy and shawty lo….but now….damn…yall niggas at xxl just trying to sell magazines now to females and the pop genre…damn…IMA STILL BUY IT…BUT IF ONE MORE TIME YOU PUT A BOOTY RINGTONE…JUST ONE HIT ON THE ALBUM RAPPER ON THE COVER…after three years of getting the magazines (not suscribing actually buying the mufuckas off rip) I will have to stop…why not jay-z or even drake…or maybe slaughterhouse since they gotta an album coming but I guess business is business…but keep that R&B SHIT IN in the xxl r&b mags that went to shit cause nobody baught them

BIIIITCH

Bad Omen here…Covers like this was the beginning of the end for Scratch

give it up for loso

If you had to have a “group” cover Slaughterhouse, Strong Arm Steady or Pac Div would suffice because they are current, talented and have fan backing and buzz.Mag covers are supposed to reflect that. Nothing obscure about them, unless you just got out of a long term bid.

So in other words better than throwing the Wu or other disbanded groups on there.

At least this cover is better than the last one.

NO somebody from a small city in the southeast or northeast is gonna ask, “Who the hell is Pac Division or Strong Arm Steady??” Well go back to your XXL, Ozone, or Source back issues and read up…

This should have had some coverage on the group The Foreign Exchange
