[OG Jaydc]

Xxls best issue of the year, every year. People can get mad at who is or isn't on the covers but I always enjoy checking out all the artists I'd been sleepin on

[UNCEEN]

Can't see the cover.

[SGT x Tok3R]

Every last one of these cats look like total geeks that would get punched on except Kendrick. Cover missing Vado.

.   Vado chose not to be there because they wouldnt make him the focal point of it aka his ego was too big

[Chamillitary Click]

Much respect Kendrick.

I heard about that but I think Cam made that call. I don't blame him though I wouldn't want my featured artist to be next to these pack of dorks. This cover is embarrasing. This looks like the sequel to Revenge of the Nerds. WTF has happened to hiphop. smh.

This cover could be a career killer for some of these guys.
Looks like a novice used photoshop and created some unintentional comedy.
Hell...at least K. Lamar isn't holding an apple for the teacher.  

[LiLDuVall tHe CaLi-Vanian]

props to kendrick, big krit, and mac miller they deserve it..im not suprised about lil b he has a strong internet fanbase but i dont why YG is on there i think dom should have been or shit Pac Div but at least the west is gettin some shine

[Al Bundy]

yeah odd future gonna be bigger than all these dudes by the end of the summer. if not earlier.

Never heard of this guy at all. Why do you think he's gonna be so huge?

[West$ide Boi]

props to Kendrick Lamar, he is by far the best of them

[Gamestarr]

Yelawolf and Kendrick are the only dudes on that cover with something that resembles a chance of hittin it big.


These other dudes will be forgotten really soon.

KRIT? seriously? Lil B? lmao.

huge homegrown cult following, cosigns from jay-z, kanye, dj quik, questlove, mos def, clipse, diddy and the list goes one, smart branding, good team behind them (their main manager is an exec at interscope), press in all magazines, newspapers and blogs you can think of (except the hiphop press, because well, they're always late), over 1 million plays on tyler's "yonkers" in one week, GOOD MUSIC, not following trends, mad young, tyler and earl have incredible charisma and obvious star potential, and so on...

basically they are already bigger than all dudes on this cover. and they achieved that in less than a year.

shit, i mean, look what kanye just posted: http://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/40608359346348032

no act on the westcoast has had a buzz like this since the game.

It's the age of the backpacker what did you expect? Although I'm still surprised that XV ain't in there.
If anything Vado should've been apart of last year's line-up, the '09 & '10 allumni were the best .

At first I was kinda hyped about this year's edition, but that cover is ass. Plus when I actually take a second to think about the list the only ones I give a fuck about are Diggy, Mac, K. Dot, Twist & Fred (probably since they're the only ones looking capable of blowing up and if they do I can act like a smart-ass who knew it all along, lol). The worst line-up since '08.
