March madness continues. Last Monday (March 1) XXLMag.com unveiled the cover for our April 2010 issue, featuring XXL’s new Freshman Class. Today (March 8), we drop another exclusive, as the 10 Freshman for ’10 Mixtape, hosted by DJ Whoo Kid, is released.
The compilation features 17 brand new tracks (see complete track list below) by this year’s Freshmen 10—Pill, Jay Rock, Nipsey Hussle, Big Sean, Fashawn, Freddie Gibbs, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole, OJ Da Juiceman and Donnis. Whoo Kid already treated listeners to a few choice cuts off the tape this past Saturday (March 6) during his Sirius/Shade45 show, as the artists themselves called in for live interviews. Now fans have a chance to hear the complete project for themselves by CLICKING HERE for the official XXLMag.com free download link, which can also be found at radioplanet.tv and thisis50.com.
XXL’s 10 Freshman for ’10 issue hit stands next Tuesday, March 16. In addition to the Freshmen 10 roundtable, the issue includes stories on the Freshmen producers, hip-hop soul artists and hip-hop duos/groups, as well as an in-depth look on what it’s like to be a new rapper today, a special recap of last year’s Freshmen class and an Eye Candy that’ll make you say ahh.
In the meantime, be sure to check out the Freshman for ’10 artist stats and freestyles at XXLMag.com/Freshmen10/. —XXL Staff

J Cole killed that “Whos World Is This”, Nas’ inspired. Just as expected, OJ is the worst rapper ever now. Nipsey, Jay Roc, Wiz and Big Sean did they thing. Everything else was tight tho. Big up on this mixtape. Better than I expected except for the Jew Man.

Dear XXL,
What the fuck? Why did you let this ass dj make this ass mixtape? Pretty much everyone but j-cole did an ass job. and you gave the most ass rappers more than one song. Seriously, everyone’s said they hate oj. Why would you get him 2 songs? Please tell me this is an early april fools joke. If not, i’m canceling my subscription.
Sincerely,
Riku

I’m definitely feelin’ Jay Rock, Nipsey Hu$$le, Fashawn, and Freddie Gibbs. I thought they each tore it up. Maybe I just got a West Coast bias. I thought that J.Cole and Donnis did their thing. Big Sean and Pill are kind of forgettable. As for Wiz Khalifa and OJ Da Juiceman, well, they’re just about two of the worst fucking rappers I’ve heard in a long-ass time; I actually think that they could be worse than Birdman…maybe.
