SOUND OFF: How FRESH is XXL’s 2011 Freshman Class?
Who is the Freshest?
@XXL @defjamyg @MeekMill, @BigKRIT, @cyhidaprynce, @diggy_simmons
A couple of weeks ago we evaluated the big winners and losers from XXL’s 2010 class and in their April issue they feature the new class of newly anointed neophytes. Some names you know like Diggy Simmons, others you may come to know as the year progresses and invariable some we’ll never hear from again. Here they are in part 1 of the signature freestyle giving you a test of what to expect. Although Mac Miller, YG and Diggy are up first in the cipher, here’s the full list to chose from: Meek Mill, Big K.R.I.T., Cyhi da Prynce, Lil Twist, Yelawolf, Fred the Godson, Mac Miller, YG, Lil B, Kendrick Lamar and Diggy. I know its early but since its bracket time why not… SOUND OFF: How Fresh is XXL’s 2011 Freshman Class and whose the Freshest?
FILED IN Music, Need to Know


Haven’t heard much of these rappers except for a select few. As for the freshest, I’m going with Yelawolf. Trunk Muzik was good in my book and now that he’s on Shady his career is only gonna get better. I ain’t feeling Lil Twist. I’m actually disappointed that he’s reppin my city. He’s just a kid and his voice is annoying. And I’m confused, is he 18 or 15? I could have sworn I saw a video of him & Wayne last year and they said he was 15. Then inside that same XXL issue they said he’s 18. WTF? Anyway he ain’t my style. He’s like a Bow Wow for the new generation. WACK. Ed Lover voice…C’Mon Son, C’Mon Son! As for everybody else….I’m gonna have to do some research and see what they’re about.
Last years list was way better… philly millz tho goes in
My thoughts exactly. This is pretty much garbage. Like I said, I’m going to have to listen to a select few but I’m not even interested in most of these cats.
Cyhi stole the show on “so appalled” which featured kanye jigga n pusha T. That alone puts him on the issue. Then he killed it again on “take one for the team”.His mixtape with green lantern was pretty decent. dude got barz for days. Definitely my number 1 pick then big krit
Big Krit is the best out of them all
MAC-MILLER!!
Lil homey Diggy is the truth!
Diggy sounds good; Yelawolf is a BEAST and Twist has potential (irritating voice and all) as long as he doesnt go “Wayne” on us. Still not a Wayne fan
You have to give it to the kid diggy, i don’t see anyone else in that ensemble pulling off the trade easy
fuck that… these niggas is straight but cheeks.. fuck that lil nigga Diggy.. he was that lil spoiled bitch from runs house… lil twist voice is willllllddd annoying.. and that nigga YG is whack.. this years list is type weak.. Meek Mills, Cyhi, Big KRIT, and maybe one more.. got my respect tho… the rest can eat a dick
lol chill..
4REAL, DIGGY?!, MAN, THIS SUBURB SPOILED LIL FUCK, WTF IS DUDE GONNA B RAPPIN BOUT, HOW POPZ DIDNT GIVE HIM A CREDIT CARD OR AN EXPENSIVE GIFT OR DIDNT LET HIM GO 2 THE HAMPTONS, C’MON, THIS NO TALENT HAVING POSER SHUD STICK WITH HIS UNCLE N MAKE CLOTHES, JUS CAUSE UR POPZ WAS IN THE RAP GAME, DONT MEAN U CUD, IF THAT IS WHAT THE RAP GAME FUTURE LOOKS LIKE, MAN, HIP HOP IS IN TROUBLE, OR WHAT, IS HE GONNA REBEL N DO PORN LIKE MONTANA FISHBOURNE OR END UP A DOPE FIEND PULLIN REHAB STINTS 4 STREET CRED, LMFAO, DIGGY, WHAT A JOKE!.
