Let’s All Lose Our Shit Over the 2013 XXL Freshman List

Posted by Nathan S. on 03/27/13 | Filed under Top Stories, Opinion, XXL Freshmen

If you really want to know how I feel about the XXL Freshman list, go listen to David D and I break things down in-depth on the podcast. I just don't have it in me anymore to do detailed breakdowns of the list, or really even find the energy to care. As far as I'm concerned, this list is the online equivalent of a hammered guy stumbling up to me in a bar and telling me about his favorite rappers. My reaction could best be summed up as:

INSERT KEYWORDS

But let's be honest, all of the rap interwebs are going to be talking about this shit, and I just don't feel right with RefinedHype completely removed from that discussion. So I'm gonna pull a "Coffee Talk": I'm boycotting any comments - I know that will be disappointing to everyone who wants to watch me lose my shit yet again, but I've said everything I've got to say about XXL ad nauseam.

The list is below, talk amongst yourselves. Sweet baby jesus knows RefinedHype Nation doesn't need me around to have a good time. Enjoy....
