    Ok inexpected it from french, butni didnt kno danny wuz such an ignorant fool. Hopsin &macklemore are the most intelligent peoplenin that room.

    • Trev DaSaint

      lol yeah danny is a god dam fool
      he sick on the mic bt a fool

  • Trev DaSaint

    yes hopsin he can talk lol

  • Hybrid

    You don’t know what you are talking bout.. Danny Brown is probably the most intelligent person in that room. And the most honest for that sake.

  • wat

    Lmao Cody from Arkansas.

    And this was a good discussion. Everyone actually had good input.

  • http://youtube.com/kidmus1c k.i.d

    there’s a diff. between honesty and intelligence

  • kid ink

    eghhhh batgang! my favs in there are kid ink then roscoe dash then Future Then MGK and then french and now im still deciding if i like hopsin lol but KID INK ALL THE WAYYYY BRASKI!!!!!!

  • JayThree

    Hopsin. Let’s go.

  • http://www.goldcoin.net Gold coin

    You’r totally right on this writing!

  • Dustin

    Hopsin used to be on the Disney channel. He appeared on Thats So Raven LOL, so I don’t believe his whole disguise.

    • wat

      He had a five second cameo… When he was like 14… And made some money off of it. Your point…? Discrediting fail.

      • jordan

        Right. I mean he live in Cali so being a supporting actor is just another way to make money. He probably spent that money on his first mic…. Or some weed and clothes.

  • Bebo

    Hopsin,MGK,iggy azalea,french = the FUTURE!

    • GZus

      Nope. you’re a dick if they’re your favourite “artists” in this bunch. Iggy might go pop (wish her the best, she done good for an aussie) and French got the Streets (for now) and i like dude but the rest are pure shite. MGK, Hopsin? GTFOH
      Danny Brown>>>>> everyone else on that couch
      (though the boy DonTrip makes some seriously good music too)

      • wat

        Danny is decent but you’re an idiot if you think he’s better than Hopsin. Hopsin is average at best, too, but he’s a lot better than Danny.

  • Aas

    Hops gonna make it the furthest out of all these people

  • Gzus

    Don’t fool yaself, Danny is one of the sharpest cats in the room. But he knows what his strengths are and he’s a gutter mufucka from DETROIT. Dude has balls just to look the way he does and still go home. He spits some ignorant shit but if you LISTEN dude has more than real life insight than most in his music. (prahli cos he has more life experience. Shit class tho, and Hopsin needs to wash the grease off his face…. do a proactive commercial

  • Gzus

    @Bebo No, they’re not. French worked hard and despite his limitations, deserves his. Hops not goin anywhere, Iggy tho she can rap will need to crossover to pop to be successful (see:NickiMinaj). Future sucks. Danny Brown and DonTrip are the real deal and deserve the shine and the success…. rap and substance(abuse?). Never heard of Macklemore but since this I’ve been a lil impressed with his work. Overall though a real shitty bunch of “Freshman”

  • Carlos Estevez

    Don Trip’s eyes are big as fuck

  • http://www.comenzi-usa.ro Comenzi EASTBAY

    Terribly well written blog.

  • Deeza Tarantino

    Don Trip The Hardest Lyricist Since Cassidy, Future Is A Good Hustler And Got A Flow Thats Jus Incredicble, Roscoe Dash, Has Been On A Lott Of Songs Dis Year So Dat Speaks For Itself, Kid Ink Is Nice As Well iDeffinately Think He Has Alreadyy Capturedd A Fan Base Thats Huge So It Can Only Be Greater. Mgk Is Aiight, Im Jus Waitin Ta See Whet Else He Gone Come With. ” Imma Wild Boy “. Was A Hot Track Though But Is That Gone Be His Only Hot Track?? Erbodyy Else On That List.?? No Interest.

  • wat

    Did you just say Don Trip was a lyricist? FUCK outta here Deeza.

  • B-RICK

    Hopsin has no disguise he’s not tryin to be hard or anyhting, the white contacts are just for fun and image like A$AP’s gold teeth. He specifically states that people should not just talk about shooting and killing, he raps about what is really going on in his life and head. so what he was on disney he’s still the realest most talented rapper out the freshman class and maybe the entire rap game itself.

  • EMCEEHERO

    Don trip looks like a smaller b pumper

  • Bebo

    lmfao@danny brown better then hopsin you gotta be on crack if you say he better then hopsin then you dont listen to rap i rather listen to chris brown then danny brown be serious nobody cant fuck with hopsin

  • Stop

    I think Danny was just twisted because in other interviews, he actually handles himself well and knows his way with words. Macklemore is obviously the most intelligent because he’s had more experience because of his age and everything. Hopsin definitely surprised me, wish him the best. MGK is a fool but he’s ill

  • Blake

    Hopsin scares me .

  • Paul

    French Montana is the most intelligent. Iggy Azalea was the least. j/k

  • http://www.yeabuddy.com/ yea buddy

    These kind of post are always inspiring and I prefer to read quality content so I happy to find many good point here in the post

  • Anthony

    Macklemore is hella intelligent and classy. Keep representing Seattle!! He’s music is filthy.

  • joe

    Macklemore speaks so eloquently, he is probably the most intelligent one there. But Hopsin and Kid Ink are honest too. I dig it.

  • Sean Purple

    The Only Fool I Saw Here Was Hopsin yo … danny is hood yall must be white if you think hopsin and macklemore are the only smart people here … just cus they talk like white people

    Beautifully shot! Great job, great underwriters.

    Your blog’s have beautiful design :) it’s true!

  • gstyles

    imagine French Montana, Danny Brown, ASAP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Kreayshawn (yes kreayshawn), 2 Chainz (yes Tity Boi), Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Frank Ocean, and Action Bronson sitting around in a circle on that couch.
    That’s a real freshmen ten. They might actually have an interesting conversation instead of just talking about how hard it is to be a rapper.

    Say what you want about those ppl, i dont care if you like their music, but in the next year they are gonna blow the fuck up. They all have bigger followings than anybody else on that list – except Action Bronson but hes in his own league. And if producers could be on the list id throw in Araab Muzik. But w/e fuck this shit XXL always disapoints. Who ever heard of Iggy Azella? I gaurantee you half of these artists will be gone in a year. You dont have to argue with me just watch it happen.

    And I dont listen to Hopsin cause im not an angry 12 year old.
