THE RECESSION IS OVER: XXL freshman class of 2011 poll

I'm going with hometown hero MEEK MILL

i know you're trying to be measured and rational here but you just said he has 100 classic songs, gtfo

lol, i guess i meant 10% classic OF SONGS THAT I'VE HEARD. which is like... 40% of his output or something

i sorta feel like meek mill could carry some momentum over from the ross singles... esp if he can manage to carve out a radio niche as roughneck east coast rapper in a vast sea of skinny jeans rap.

i hope that in 2012 i'll be able to vote for fat trel

I bet you'll be able to vote for asap rocky.

ugh

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

are you for real

i cant decide if i'm more offended by 2 votes for mac miller or 1 for lil twist

come to think of it i don't even know who diggy simmons is

lol <3 whoever voted YG

I want mac millers head on a plate

yeah every time i hear "house party" on the radio i'm like please please please let this song be huge

glad lil b won, everyone else i have any interest in just feels like i'm rooting for them rather than being actually invested in their currently existing output

the whole 'investment' thing about people really feeling like lil b is Important and they're part of a unique new kind of Movement is just

otm re: house party

wish I'd voted Meek at this point tbh

ugh at this

weird they wld put e-40 in there p sure hes been around for a while

ha amazing to see kendrick barely beating out yelawolf by one vote

there's a lotta RONG in this thread

tbf most of these rappers' careers and/or music transformed pretty significantly over the past 5 years so hindsight is more illuminating/amusing than anything else

lil b is still def better than kendrick tho

lil b definitely does it again...and again and again and again and again

there's a lotta RONG in this thread

yeah besides Fred the Godson becoming the most important rapper of his generation a lot of these guys have fizzled

Couldn’t find ten good rappers this year

lol it rules that lil b beat kendrick in this poll

seems like kendrick might end up being the star outta these dudes?

was my best DN ever should have stopped there

True

yg meek and kendrick, p good on that first one

and big kri

for better or worse mac miller has also done very well

lil b also has become a legend/meme

yg was robbed

he p much just had teen dance songs out then no

oj da juiceman was robbed again

imagine how wild it would be if this year's class became as influential/acclaimed/culturally relevant as the 2011 class

(if you could call them that, i'm not sure if Lil Twist or Fred the Godson are still around, or who they even are in the first place)

i dont really understand this story

When he was 12 years old, Lil Twist went to a Lil Wayne concert in Tyler, Texas and opened for Lil Wayne. Impressed, Cortez and Wayne flew Lil Twist to Atlanta to see how he was in a recording studio.[9]

diggy can kinda rap

they played it pretty safe, hard to say there's anyone who doesn't deserve to be there.
