See XXL’s ‘Freshman List’ for 2010 Now
Each year, hip hop magazine XXL releases their ‘Freshman Class’ issue, that features the top ten up and coming rappers on their cover. But no need to wait until 2010 to see who made the cut, thanks to an intrepid tipster who claims to have taken a spy shot of the roster. Although we can’t independently verify the authenticity of the list, it’s very likely that it’s legit, after all, this wouldn’t be the first time they got scooped on their own content.
UPDATE: XXL Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Satten says she appreciates the “enthusiasm,” but the list isn’t from the mag, it’s a fraud! Her statement below:
I’m writing from XXL to let you know the email about XXL’s 2010 Freshman Class is a fake list that did not come from our magazine.
While we are flattered about the enthusiasm and heat The Freshman Class generates, this list did not come from XXL and was most likely created and leaked by someone in hopes of boosting their career.
We are always on the lookout for the most promising artists who do, in fact, make it into XXL.
The current issue of XXL (our double Dec/Jan 2010 issue with 50 Cent Â
on the cover) is on stands now.Vanessa Satten

H-TWENTY IS SICK! NEVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE, BUT IF HE MADE THE LIST HE’S A FUCKIN GENIUS! NIPSEY HUSSLE SUCKS ASS! WEIRD NAMES NOW A DAYS
i’m now a h-twenty fan!
hes cute too
Ya’ll niggahz at XXl iz fucking bugging Out how the Fuck Pac Div,Melo X,Donnis,Chipper da Ripper,Curtains,Nicatyne,Def Dyme, isn’t on that list how the fuck wiz & h20 , J-rock,Xv, nikki minja she’s wack she sound like em & lil kim put together fuk up combo Female wise ya’ll hear this chick Jahda she down with the cool kids shawty is dumb nice mix between foxy & lauren hillReal Talk she’s nice yall @ XXl Nigga To Leave That TO the real Pro’s The MUTHAFUKIN FANS ! & DEATH TO THE RADIO AGE!
This list makes ALOT OF SENSE. PAC DIV deserves a cover by themselves as well as Drake will get one, be serious. J-Cole is fucking dope. Nipsey is crack, WIZ KHALIFA IS THA MUTHAFUCKING TRUTH, I didn’t know Skyzoo was a freshmen bcuz I’ve heard him on Little Brother’s mixtapes awhile back but he’s stupid nice with tha flow, Fashawn is dope, and BIG SEAN is bringing a whole new side of hip hop that needs to be felt. But you dumb Gucci, Oj, Whack Flocka listening cats need to shut up. This is real hip hop. Nicki has tha hugest buzz of any female rapper so of course and I’m not tha hugest fan but I like some of her stuff. But TRAVIS PORTER???? My second home is atlanta so all you dance making snap no trappin dudes listening to garbage y’all need to check Pill out and quit playin yaselves. 75% of these comments are from non hip hop heads/haters. Don’t even know tha difference between a rapper and a lyricist.
I dont understand Nicki on this list, think she’s already big so to choose her is odd. Dont think Wiz can be bigger than he was two years ago. Sky done dropped two albums already, he’s dope but he’s already established.
No Pill? Jay Rock is done, that 30 records series Flopped…career is done. I like Esso from NY, he’s like a song away. I like Blac Dada of Miami (Im a Zoe), Mike Posner of Duke, Freddie Gibbs, Derty Den and Emilo Rojas of NY.
they said this is not the list clowns……….XV best on this list though
SO THEY GOT WACK NIGGAS JAY ROCK, WIZ KHALIFA, NICKI MINAJ, BUT THEY DONT HAVE JAY ELECTRONICA ON THAT LIST & SKYZOO SHOULDNT EVEN BE A FRESHMAN
I’m with yall on nicki minaj she dont belong there.Travis porter dont belong so stop mentioning his ass.XV deserves to be up there homeboy is too nice to be a nigga out of kansas. J cole deff belong there he is humble as fuck and spit’s fire.Big sean, nipsey and wiz ehhh,there alright.Everyone else i never heard of so i cant judge them.
XV:”They be like you norm dont come out at night mostly,gon get your rosery,cuz im about to kill this no halo like sony”WOW!
J cole: So yea, I operate on a higher plane, my thoughts take a higher train,Its dope, then you should know the suppliers name,Its J. Cole, set of horns and a halo,And all these Jose Canseco wanna text-us like Waco

Nicki Minaj is so fuckin waaaack!! The only thing nice about her is her ass..Wiz is fuckin lame…Big ups to J cole, nip hussle, jrock, n skyzoo! Those niggas actually deserve the cover! Wheres drizzy at though? Did he jus skip past the freshman list?haha Fuck travis porter, fuck oj da juiceman fuck wacka flacka whatever, theyre all lame. Time to bring real hiphop back! WayWithWordz mixtape comin soon! G•s•F
Fuck u R trip, wiz aint lame nigga i concur with u on J cole and nipsey n ishh bt u on the deep end wenu talk abt wiz bro, n for your recollection , drizzy is apart of ‘09 if u dint read the late xxl article drake was got a grade A+ ( proffesors note my nigga) and they didnt give him any criticism they simply quoted his verses b/c tht was all that need to be said u can chill on dat shit bro, n 4 the others, a couple of yall are missing a sense,,, taste
yall are forreal trippin..im from near the burgh and wiz khalifa has progressed crazily. hes better than that wayne and nixki minaj shit yall listenin to. Big Sean is ill as hell to.. a whole new face to hip hop..they needed chip tha ripper on there tho. And for yall sayin waka flocka lame and travis porter and all that bullshit they are garbage no flow or lyrics at all.
IM JUST FUCKIN GLAD XV MADE THE LIST XV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
