Co-sign! Bishop shud Def be there, WTF is Lil'Boosie there

Altho i think ur bein harsh on Crooked, dudes deserves his shine....

Crooked I is great no doubt but the title is "leaders of the new school". Dude been in the game since 97.

[K.Dub]

Who are those dudes?

I only recognize Crooked and Joell Ortiz..
And even tho it's good for Crooked to be on the cover, he's faaaar right on a fold-out-cover, so peeps in the stores wont see him

[CRAFTY]

Well I'll be damned! Crooked on the XXL cover. That came out of nowhere... Now all he needs to do is drop B.O.S.S. and have some promo to go along with it and he'll be allright

I hear you. Bishop or Ya Boy would've been nice too, but you can't have it all. Let's be glad that they put Crooked in the spotlight. The man has paid his dues in this industry, wouldn't you agree? Plus, the man got talent as well, there's no denying that. And just because he's slightly older than the rest of those guys doesn't mean he can't be one of the leaders of the new school.

Props to XXL for this

Yeah but he has still yet to blow even though he's been in the game for a while, besides this is Crooked "10 years and not 1 album dropped" I we're talking about so IMO he deserves a spot there...

Your rite but to anyone who doesnt follow Westcoast music, he's rather unknown, with the exception of the HipHop weeklys, so he's new to many...

Who are those dudes?

Saigon, Plies, Richboy, Papoose, Crooked I, Lil Boosie, Lupe fiasco, Gorilla Zoe, Joell Ortiz, Young Dro

I don't get how the likes of Lil'Boosie, Gorilla Zoe (what the fuck is that?) can be on the cover instead of the likes of Bishop, Ya Boy, Termanology, Skyzoo etc etc

So, dudes that actually pick up the magazine are going to see him...

Much props to Crooked I, he's really been on the grind this past year and I'm happy to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves!

think what you want... and call me a hater, but i think the title of this feature could easily have been changed from "leaders of the new school" to "cats that will probably never blow up (except for a couple of them)"

Saigon - self explanatory. nigga got Just Blaze behind him, and he still aint done shit yet.
Papoose - Busta and them be hypin him up. I aint see nothing materialize.
Gorrila zoe - wack (bout to get blackballed just by having that name)
boosie - wack
Crooked I - self explanatory, hes good though, im not denying that.
Rich Boy - failed to follow up with a good enough single after "Throw Them D's" . great single, but pretty lackluster album, totally carried by Polow's production. dont really see him coming around for a 2nd smash album or anything.
Joell Ortiz - he's cool, but he'll prob be another hittman #3 for Aftermath, and i dont really his style as ever transcending New York's scene.
Lupe - definitely has had the most success hype surrounding him..he's good, i see him on a whole another playing field than these other guys.
Young Dro - havent heard much from him either, and some of his guest appearances are tight, but i dont think he can carry a whole album on his back.
Plies - havent really heard much from him, but from what ive read and heard, he sounds promising.
