Tory Lanez ain't no freshman though. I remember my boy from NYC telling me about him around late 2010.
As for the list, I've heard most of those names on this board but I never cared to listen to their music.

I feel like Dicky is more like a sophomore at this point. I remember watching his vids 3-4 years ago.

Why is Andy Samberg on the cover? The ****?
Dave East the only cat on there I ever want to hear. The rest, keep the **** away from me. That **** ain't for me. Paak can sing but I'm not digging his sound.
Think it's time to end the whole Freshman cover BS. It lost it's appeal years ago. Putting trash on there year after year and juniors and seniors. Wack.

Denzel Curry and G Herbo are surprises but both well deserved.
Weird seeing Dicky on there

So they should do away with the list because you don't like any of the artists they picked?
These are pretty much the hottest upcoming artists whether you like it or not

Denzel Curry, G Herbo, and Kodak, all have lyrical prowess. You sound very misinformed and dumb

Some of the XXL people went up to the breakfast club and defended the cover.

Those two chicks go on there every year and talk about their choices. I'm about to watch that interview right now. Looking at the XXL YouTube page, I feel like Skizzy Mars, Quentin Miller, Tsu Surf, Jacquees & Montana of 300 should have made the list next to G Herb.

Not at all. It seems like this cover has been getting shidded on the last 2-4 years by the majority.

That makes more sense than having people on the list who have put out multiple albums(Anderson.Paak) or been out five years(Herb).

This. Pretty much everybody on here has had recent buzz, and the only people who may have been left off are Bryson Tiller and Torey Lanz, though I feel like I've been seeing Torey Lanz name for years.
As far as who I actually listen to, I can rock with a good amount of Dave East, Herbo, Kodak, and Anderson Paak after hearing his album. I haven't listened to Denzel Curry since SpaceGhostPurrp stopped producing for him and others. 21 Savage has a couple cool verses here and there. Uzi is just background noise over cool beats, Lil Yachty is total trash, Desiigner needs to find a new gimmick, and Lil Dicky has a stupid name and just seems like a strategically placed plant. So XXL pretty much got the list right more than wrong.

I still got this physical copy
Do they still make XXL in stores? I know Source went to digital only.
Might pick up the 2016 one just to read what guys like Uzi and Yachty have to say about not being lyrical/their critics.

Yeah you can stil pick up physical copies of XXL. I pick up copies every now and then from my local Walmart. Even found a copy of the Source a couple months back with Jadakiss on the cover.
