Prediction for the 2017 XXL Freshman List. Post yours.

holy shit the state of hip-hop is in ducking shambles

only by judging the "trendy" rappers. hip hop is still good relax

that's exactly what people said in the 90's and 00's, hip-hop is better than it's ever been and you cannot prove me wrong.

Lady Leshurr better not be a Freshman. Grime is never going to happen so it'll just be a complete waste of a slot. I think the only guaranteed Freshman's this year are Ugly God, Dex, Peep and X if he gets out of jail.

grime is embarrassing

might as well put fucking pink guy on here

Grime is overall the lamest most sterile musical movement of probably the past 50 years of popular music.

I'd say Kyle and Russ are pretty much sure to get in too. Rich Chigga may as well be. I wouldn't be surprised if Tory turned down an invite tho desu

hip-hop is shit in the 2010s. The only people who disagree are children who've hears less than a hundred rap albums in their lives. It was actually great in 2015 but it has inarguably dropped in quality substantially since then.
I don't have to because I'm already right. The last year and a half have been the worst since 2006-07 for rap

...

as if you fucking know anything about the last fifty years of pop music you fucking mong

If anything, several new styles have branched out in the past few years and there's some growing pains but I still say it's in the best state it's ever been in. Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Kanye, Chance, King Los. I can go on forever.

2015 is an all-time top 5 year in hip-hop

I know quite a bit actually.

true. 2016 was pretty bad desu.

most of those arent new rappers and all the new styles are just meme trap

Can see AJ Tracey being on it.

6LACK

Why would Leshurr be on it.

Her buzz is dead in the UK and it never existed in the US.

If there's gonna be a UK artist this year it'll be AJ for sure.

Have a feeling Father might get chosen but he'll probably turn it down. Heartthrob really blew up and became a big deal. Heard some people bumping it the other day and was shocked

> Kendrick
amazing
> Travis, Chance
flawed but have potential. I doubt chance will ever see his true finally form now that he loves being a celebrity so much
> Kanye
Still good but obviously declining
> King Los
this has to be bait lol
> I could go on forever
Please do. I can count the number of rappers who haven't put out a bad project in the 2010s on two hands.
