UPDATE: Hi-res via XXL





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
hiphop lost. there’s some solid names up there but…we lost.
Vado and XV shouldve made this. Tyga over Lil Twist if you were to put a YM member up there
Only Diggy Yelawolf Cyhi Da Prince Meek Kedrick lamar Are spitting
What is hip hop coming to Lil B is a joke I thought that was 50 tyson get outta here with that bullshit
Out of all these guys, I only fuck with Kendrick really….
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.
Yela is doin better than all of them…dude is signed to Shady…lol
Look at all these losers.
WHERE THE FUCK IS VADO AT????
WOOOOOOW SMH
i kan live with that list i do agree wit tha homie that said XV Shouldve been on there and Tyga shouldve as well
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
#11* oops lol
they actually put lil b on here wow
he been wit the pack since 04′ ha
wtf. how is lil b on there hes a joke. and why didnt chip make it this year..
There’s somebody else to the far right.
Lil Twist??!?!!?!?! LMAO! Who gonna buy his shit?
Kendrick Lamar, Big KRIT, and Yelawolf >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest of these bum ass niggas.
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
Was sleeping on Big K.R.I.T. until recently. Dude can spit.
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.
EPICFAIL…. Meek Mill TRASH (ricky Paid for that nigga to be on Here)…Fred The Godson….FRED THE GODSON !!!! GTFHO lil Twist….YelaWolf is 31 fuckin years old Cyhi is Wack as Well
no Dom Kennedy no killa kyleon trash
Yoooo, why does this look like a class picture for the slow class at school?
WHAT ABOUT CHIP THA RIPPER!? oh wait, he will never be a freshman to this game!
DIGGY!!!!!! CY HI !!!!!!!!!!!! ………….akward silence (turns away)
No hate, but a word to these other cats, make me change my opinion this year
@Doe Money
And what are you? You making more money than them?
PAH!
based god on the cover that’s whats up. XXL got it right this time
No Laws??????
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.
BTW Vado is no longer considered a “freshmen”. After being snubbed from the previous covers he’s pretty much like “F*ck it”
@Goose
Lmao! Cuz Lil B retarded ass in it.
if this is the freshmen class of hip hop, im scared for the future…lil twist ? lil b ? are you kidding me ?
im assuming no one here read months ago about CamRon not allowing Vado to be on the cover…

?VADO?WILL BE ON THA SOURCE BECUZ HE CLAIM U CANT BE ON TWO MAG@ONE TIME!! BESIDE THAT NIGGA WILL LOOK WERID WIT THESE KIDS! PS: SHADY PAID FOR YELAWOLF TO BE ON HERE!?*KANYE WEST SHRUG*
Vado should be there, and the only ones worth giving a shit would be K.R.I.T. & Yela, but Lamar, YG & Cyhi are okay.
KEndrick Lamar MOTHER FUCKERS… everybody else sucks cock!!!
solid list. don’t understand why lil twist made it and xv didnt. as for lil b, i wouldnt have him on the cover. but its understanding why he is..
Lil twist is the man. Fuck everybody else no homo maybe lamar. And why the fuck is yg on here that fool WACK! Tyga will be on the source thats where real nigga at!
