XXL freshmen class 2010 poll

I haven't heard Donnis but he looks wack.

("what an awful cover" i say to the book)

j. col had some weird stage performance tonight at the BET awards, sounded decent enough

http://nahright.com/news/2010/07/12/video-big-sean-what-u-doin-bullshittin/

this has a disappointing absence of grocery bag lines, but makes up for it with a myriad of traditionally awful punchlines -- i feel foolish even approaching this seriously, but big sean is one of the emptiest rappers that has gotten buzz in a while -- dude really comes off as someone playing dress up who has no idea what to actually DO -- he looks so hilariously stupid in those big ass 2008 fake kanye shades (take that monkey shit off etc) -- he has this unique ability to make his songs feel twice as long as they are -- i swear whenever i watch one of these youtubes i glance down and it's only been 1:30 and i'm just like "the fuck??" -- also in this joint he apes lil wayne's flow so hard, esp in the what i believe to be the third verse

who the hell is big sean

the second most succesful guy on the list

big sean's whole career feels like some kind of surreal hoax

would have never guessed one of these dudes would have a #1 record

would have never guessed one of these dudes would have ten rings on like a basketball player

or wiz khalifa who is already a failed major label artist with no prospects

lol kidd kidd

i guess this list deserves some credit in the sense that 5 years later three of those guys are making #1 albums and three others are fairly relevant

i really like dutch rebelle

wondering who's on the list so far if tink and fetty wap are among the also-rans

shout out to Donnis

that category includes people who will make the final list @maura

well that's confusing. why are you voting for "the 10th freshman" if some of the other 9 are among the options?

well otherwise you could work backwards & guess who the 9 winners are

if it wasn't too late i would have voted Dreezy

#teamsnootie

Shmurda, Makonnen and Vince Staples, huh? man, kudos to XXL for digging deep and uncovering these rappers to watch

lol

well it's kind of a no-win situation, right? Like it's ridiculous they're listing guys with major label signings but if they drop in a collection of unknowns the question is who the fuck are these guys.
i would welcome some intros to the lesser knowns, Kap G doesn't sound bad at all on first contact.
