  5. LukeCage says:

    XXL has a great opportunity to showcase new talent and get hard working artists some co-signs but refuses to take chances.

    Twist, Cyhi, Yela, Dig, Kendrick will have big years without your bum ass cover XXL.

  6. Mike says:

    Yela is doin better than all of them…dude is signed to Shady…lol

  7. Doe Money says:

  10. Philly! says:

    about time Philly gets some recognition with Meek Mill. Yela, Diggy, CyHi, and Mac Miller are all nice as fuck too. pretty good line up…but who’s #1? Lil B holding a sign that says “This Year We Got 11 For Ya!” cant tell who’s in that red jacket next to Mac lol

    ChYi is decent but everybody else garbage, MOST especially that based god nigga Lil B.

    And where Vado? He better than everybody else that aint the 3,4 i named already

  16. Your Friendly Neighborhood Dopeman says:

    Was sleeping on Big K.R.I.T. until recently. Dude can spit.

  17. Talley says:

    They fucked up when they put Lil B and Twist on there…
    Everyone else is solid and a good look for hip hop in my opinion.

  18. markman says:

  25. NVR says:

    Why is everyone talking about Tyga not making the list.. Dude already put out 2 albums, been in the game for a while now, not really a freshman anymore.

  26. Your Friendly Neighborhood Dopeman says:

    BTW Vado is no longer considered a “freshmen”. After being snubbed from the previous covers he’s pretty much like “F*ck it”

  27. Word says:

    @Goose

    Lmao! Cuz Lil B retarded ass in it.

  28. Taqee Bond says:
