World Freaks Out Over Leak of Irrelevant Magazine’s 2011 Freshman List

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/21/11 | Filed under Features, XXL Freshman 2011

UPDATE: Just dropped the in-depth breakdown here.

I care about a lot of things I shouldn't. Every year I grow moderately furious over the Grammys horrific ignorance when it comes to hip-hop, and then I take a deep breath and wonder why I give a f**k what the Grammys think. The same goes for XXL's Freshman List. Even though I don't think anyone reading this has actually bought a XXL mag in five years, and I don't know a single person who visits their site, every year we all collectively freak out as they release their picks for rap's best young stars. Well, a full month before XXL's official release date the LIST LEAKED!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!

I'll go through and do a complete breakdown, the way I did for 2010's cover, on the official release date, but in the meantime here's the (obviously leaked) cover for you to praise/venomously hate on. Enjoy:

INSERT KEYWORDS


And the winners are: Lil Twist, CyHi Da Prynce, Big K.R.I.T., Meek Mill, Diggy Simmons, Kendrick Lamar, Yelawolf, Fred The Godson, Mac Miller and Lil B.

UPDATE: Just dropped the in-depth breakdown here.

XXL caved & put up the actual cover without all those watermarks.

Still ... XXL wins in the end because we're talking about them more than any other hip-hop magazine (the few that are still around).

Damnit SunBear said exactly what I was gonna write. Anywho, I haven't cared about XXL's freshmen list since like 2 years ago when they had the awesome lineup that included B.o.B. This doesn't get me as angry as the Grammys.

CyHi, Krit, Lil' B, Lamar, Diggy & Yela deserve it solely over the hype they've created in the last year.

Meek Mill probably made it because of his Maybach Music deal, same with Twist and YM. Never heard any of Miller apart from his verse on XV's (why wasn't he there???) mixtape and he sounded weak and Fred The Godsons nice but i don't think hes paid his dues yet. ALSO YG's on that list aswell (Don't think anybody will miss him though lol)

And thats my humble opinion of the Freshmen (P.S. wheres Tyga, Jon Conner, Yonas?)

Lil B is very under rated actually. He deserves the cover.
I do NOT agree on Lil Twist, he hasnt gotten his name anywhere but his home area. Lil B is everywhere, CyHi gained a lot of fans off his mixtape and guest verses. Krit doesnt need explanation, Fred? I been in and out of New York and never hear him on the radio, only the few songs online.
Most deserving is: Kendrick Lamar, Big KRIT, Lil B, Yelawolf, Mac Miller, and CyHi shoulda been last year over OJ Da Joomayne

Lil B has as much talent as some decent rappers(Jim Jones). He just knows how to get followers better than they do.

XXL Staff 1: Hey everybody it's about that time again.

XXL Staff 2-15: oh no we have to sell our ass to keep crappy magazine afloat?

XXL Staff 1: no that's next month, we have to choose musicians for our Freshmen list, Remember we can only have like3 or 4 good ones, the rest are whatever. I just nominated Bummy the Gooseman. ANy suggest?

XXL Staff 2-14: What about XV?

XXL Staff: ARE YOU CRAZY!? J.Cole took up most of our fund why do you think we can't afford luxuries like computers or common sense? YOU'RE FIRED!!!

Ex-XXL Staff: Yes, I can eat again.

@Nathan you should do a mock XXL list for next year. Like have the Mixxie boys or 50 Tyson and Brian Pumper on the list.
