>Kap G Literally who

>>73370826
In the movie dope and had a hit.

What you should be asking is:

Who is Kamaiyah?

>>73370826
Disregard this. Entire list is irrelevant. Worst they've ever released

>>73370826
I've heard of 4 of those artists

one of them cause he kept getting posted on /mu/ as a meme (xxxtension)

one of them cause he's a meme rapper (lil ugly god)

one of them cause his name is retarded (a boogie with a hoodie)

and one cause he's actually relevant (playboi carti)

>>73371041
X is as relevant as Carti, stop getting all your facts from /mu/.

>>73370862
Featured on a YG song with Drake

>>73371136
X is probably more relevant. Radio pushes Carti more but X had a much bigger hit than him.

>>73371219
I heard Look at Me on the radio the other day kek
Weird hearing it censored

>>73371219
For now lol.
Magnolia is probably gonna be a top 20 hit later on in the summer.

>>73370826
X really looks like he doesn't want to be there. Like everyone else is at least trying, X really wishes he was anywhere but there.

Where is?:

Saba

Smino

Noname

D.R.A.M

Joey Purp

j.i.d.

>>73371425
>implying he's not just staying character as a dark wannabe mysterious angsty edgelord.

and where the fuck is DEXTER???

>>73373537
DRAM is old

>>73373537
XXL is no longer about integrity obviously. J.I.D. is set to be the next Kendrick if he starts focusing his music, Noname was making waves this year and last and Purp should be on the list. Wasn't DRAM and Saba already on the list though?

Who cares...rap died in '05

For accurately reflecting what has blown up and what will have staying power (plus an attempt to have some musical diversity): this would've been the best possible list:

XXXTENTACION
Ski Mask The Slump God
Playboi Carti
Ugly God
Amine
Kyle
Famous Dex
PNB Rock
Noname
Maxo Kream

>>73377994
Yes i agree

>>73377994
I like skimask more but he's only mainstream popular because of x, no way he makes the list when x does. Also fuck pnb rock

they're all manlets kek

famous dex isn't on the cover because he beat up his girl on camera

dex would have if he wasn't so problematic

Dexter didn't make it because there's video evidence of him beating his gf
Literally what a xxl person said on an interview

Apparently xxx got away with it because it's not on camera

>>73379521
X made it when he battered his girlfriend

>>73379183
lil pump still better than half the people on the current list

>>73379551
it was never proven and not on video unlike with dex. xxl confirmed that the video is the reason

I'm pissed off that NBA youngboy didn't make it

Should young MA have made the list

I'm fine with the mumble rap and whatever you call the bullshit that Kyle makes, but god damn that PNB rock dude is terrible

>>73379689
dont particularly care for her music but young MA has like the perfect clout-to-talent ratio to succeed without being a freshman

>>73379801

stop

They should've asked Bones just to see his reaction

>>73379070
The video of Dex beating his gf is what stopped him from getting on so I doubt that he'll be on next year either.

Ok so Chance is great, established.
However his buddies don't have what it takes to break through.
They already tried Vic Mensa and he's looking like a letdown.

So Joey Purp, Noname, Saba, Smino and Towkio and whoever else won't make the list ever especially since Mick Jenkins was never considered and had put out a more substantial project than all of them.

>>73380863
i hope this is a bait
brockhampton is a collective, not one guy
he's also been putting out music for years now so theres no reason for him to be on freshman list and i'm pretty sure he wouldn't accept it either

>>73381355
idk he's really young and isn't too good for the list, he could use the exposure to put on his group and keep his name in discussions if he were to focus going solo

How do they compare, /mu/

>>73382030
plies, rich boi, gorilla zoe and boosie go hard

>>73382030
The only one who is still almost relevant is Lil Boosie

please, please tell me why you always hatin (why you hatin?)

>>73382030
lol rich boy has to be laziest rap moniker ever

THIS SHIT GO IN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXiOjKDnVF8

Kamaiyah is like YG's sidekick lmao

Kap G is a textbook industry plant but someone paid for her to make it too

Replace Kamaiyah, Amine and Kap G with YoungBoy, Tee Grizzley and Dex and now you got a list.

>>73382073
papoose is kinda relevant because of remy

>>73381754
He says while adjusting his "relaxed fit" wrangler jeans wedgie while boppin to the hottest new tech n9ne

Oh wow a bunch of niggers. No suprise they wouldn't give it to Lil Peep , who probably had more votes than all of them.

>>73381149
rap is bad and wireframe glasses are for plebs

>>73382233
>i like famous dex which means i also like tech n9ne
nigga wtf u smokin

>>73382073
Lupe Fiasco is also almost relevant and became more famous than the others.

>>73382268
>bunch of niggers
>the only guy i wanted to make it was the semi-qualified white guy

With both sides discriminating, not much will get resolved. I like Peep but cmon it's a radio thing too.

>>73373133
Tenacious X

>>73382344

Oh pls, they aren't going to give it to a white guy, because of the major SJW's BLM shit going on. At the moment it's worse then it's ever been for white rappers, because "mah cultural appropriation".

>>73375999
Did he died?

>>73382268
Wasnt lil dicky a freshman at one point though

>>73382457
he won the fan vote last year because of reddit

>>73382425

On top of that XXL has always been extremely biased against white rappers. They shit on Eminem when he first came out then back peddled when he became the biggest rapper in the world at the time.

>>73382478
I think it was Yachty that won the fan vote

if lil peep had more votes than xxx then he would have made it

he had a chance to overcome it if he was really that popular. they probably did not want x at all but the overwhelming internet votes made them realize he was something else

>>73382563
I always heard it was dicky. is there any way to check?

>>73382575
peep can't compete with with x and his legion of middle school fans

>>73382293
There's literally no difference between them.
>Both are form KC
>Both have purple dreads
>Both were discovered by Rich the Kid
>Both make backpacker fast rap
>Both have been rapping since 2015
>Both were born in 1971
>Both were molested by their 7th grade teacher
>Both are close friends with ICP
>Both use the same adlib in every song

I honestly didn't think much of anyone in the xxl 2016 when it came out.

But just from that one cypher Lil' Uzi Vert, Lil' Yachty, Kodak Black and 21 Savage are household names.

The year before that none of them even had a project (except Kodak)

>>73382636
pretty sure it was Desiigner no?

>and the 10th Spot winner, ATL’s Lil Yachty

>>73383456
oh wow. very surprising considering he's everywhere now.

>>73379070
Syringe might be a bit too mentally unstable to be on XXL. I think he has bipolar disorder or something. Plus he went missing for like 10 days a couple weeks ago.

>>73383536
how is that surprising? he had a lot of fans from the jump

XXXTentacion more like ZZZTentacion

>>73370826
Where the fuck is LiL Peep

>>73384188
he's white anon

>>73384268
Oh that makes sense

>>73373537
don't forget taylor bennett

>>73381298
taylor bennett is way better than chance

>>73384422
This

>>73370826
i hadn't even heard of kamaiyah, pnb, madeintyo, and kap g until this trash was released

>>73372522
this dude is worse than ice jj fish

>>73385319
You have heard of Madeintyo.

Impossible that you haven't heard the song Uber Everywhere.
And if you heard the cozy tapes he was on that too.

>>73371219
Lol no carti had a bigger hit in 2014 and now with magnolia it's not even a contest.

Next list:
Smokepurrp
Rich Chigga (If he doesn't deny)
Ski Mask The Slump God
Lil Peep (Fan Vote)
Maxo Kream
Pouya

I'll leave it to others in this thread to put the remaining four.

I didn't put Lil Pump or D.R.A.M. because they seem like fads/flops right now.

$uicideboy$ already went to XXL, they didn't even make the voting list, which means they denied. Or XXL doesn't want duos.

Bones and the rest of SHWB will deny.

I have a feeling the weirdklvn (Eric North, Syringe, etc) will blow up but they will deny.

>>73375999
I need some background info on this, who the fuck punched the guy?
