Yup, it is that time of the year, folks. Today XXL gives you Internet kids something to argue about with their 2012 freshman class. Damn, B.Dot nailed it. Surely, PETA will do the same with French.

  8. J Kins says:

    Hopsin Is Sick,Don Trip And Danny Brown Are Nice,Don’t Really Like French And It’s Missing Dee-1.

    Bounce this ain’t Craigslist.

  13. unexpected announcement says:

    most of these characters are in no way “freshmen”

  14. MMG says:

    they all wack exept for french montana, why no tyler the creator? danny brown,mackelmore,roscoe dash and kid ink WTF!!!!!!!

  15. Get Real says:

    Another waste of time. The man Roscoe Dash is a still “freshman” after releasing platinum records over the last 3 yrs?? O_o No A$AP Rocky or Donald Glover? Lol. Boy I tell you, these “tastemakers” in hip-hop sure are on one.

  16. Word says:

    Hands down the lamest cover in years. French Montana been in the game a minute ain’t he 30 something? How he a freshman? Iggy Azelel? She raps?? Ain’t heard shit from her. Hopsin decent. Mgk decent. Rest of these niggas ain’t important. How many ppl from the last mag are poppin off? Very few!

  17. Your mother's "friend" says:

    French took an L for this & how is Rosce a freshman, sure he fell of the map but he been had a run

  18. NOT A FAN says:

    HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED

  19. Bonobo says:

    No Jon Connor ? Absolutely horrible

    Blue city club is the truth

  20. Shooga says:

    Comparing to the last year, this year sucks a meat dick. Danny and Hopsin are the exception.

  21. ben peters says:

    @streetorialist He said in the interview with DJ Drama he didnt want to be on the XXL cover he turned it down…

    But on the real Mr Dash has 2 commericially released projects. he is not a fresh man

  22. Collar Cali says:

    Wow HOPSIN & Azalea!

  23. Zeezy says:

    What a wackass line up. Only Danny Brown is good

  24. Stop says:

    This is the worst list ever, I doubt anyone on this will blow up. Maybe Kid Ink he got the most mainstream appeal

  25. mac DIESEL says:

    SCARY!!!!

    …..SMFH!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  26. bbe4eva says:

    i think they reached out 2 asap and he turned it down,im sure others were reached out 2 as well…

  27. Word says:

    Freshman 2010 was the best in recent memory

  28. Ballin' says:

    Lmao @ you niggas raging on the net.

    Why is any attention paid to MTV’s or XXL’s yearly lists?

    Chill though, i’ve NEVER even heard of Macklemore. Is he Mac Miller’s brother or something? Has RR ever even posted any of his music?

  29. IIG says:

    French Montana? This nigga got a decade in the game don’t he?

  30. Jakey BadAzz says:

    WTF? This list is wack ass fuck! No A$AP Rocky? Whoever made this list, KILL YO SELF!

  31. fastflipper says:

    they almost all got some industry experience…and wtf french got on his head ?? a dead cub ???

  32. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    No A$AP Rocky, Chip Tha Ripper, Childish Gambino, or Stalley! EPIC FAIL!!!

  33. yesssir says:

    so was this list put together by the MTv “Brain trust”

  34. Smear says:

    No Schoolboy Q, Jon Connor or Action Bronson????.. this list is invalid…. not to mention XV, ExSquire, Dom Kennedy, Stalley and ASAPRocky(though i reckon he’s gettin a solo jawn)

    DANNY BROWN IS DOPE AS FUCK and Should have just had his own cover….or been on last year’s Freshman at least.

  35. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    A bunch of bail jumpers on the cover of XXL.

  36. Hip-Hop Fiend says:
