which of these rappers from xxl's "freshman 10 of 2009" are you the most sick of?

Roth obv

mickey factz, please gtfo out of my life

mickey factz gets a big ? from me

wtf am i talking about all of these guys get one

cory gunz was probably on the freshman class of 06 too

>:[ @ "freshman 10" and not "freshmen 10"

i've never heard anything by mickey factz but i think i've read more about him than anyone

he falls squarely into RELEASE AN ALBUM SO I HAVE SOMETHING TO LISTEN TO territory

WHAT about 88 KEYS!?!?

Kanye's verse on that 88 Keys track may be the worst of the year.

you know, i wonder if guys like charles hamilton and mickey factz and b.o.b feel excited about collectively getting press (and if they see themselves as rap's new wave [not new-wave]) or if they are wary of being marginalized into an indistinguishable group of youtube stills

88 keys isn't any of the xxl covers

i think each of them privately thinks they're the sole inevitable breakout artist of the group and they're just riding out this early phase of being a face in the crowd. charles hamilton's already been talking greasy about half these other guys.

xpost

yeah that sounds about right

if i had to bet on any of these guys breaking out it would be b.o.b since he's signed to jim jonsin's label and might get gifted a huge single

i could see him achieving lupe-like fame

remember saigon and papoose? those were good times

yeah B.O.B. probably has the best commercial fortunes. I hate that hook on the T.I. album so much that I might've swung around to rooting against him, though.

you miss him rapping about the historical plight of poor blacks

thanks titchy we appreciate your input on this matter

another good poll would be how many of these guys try and play the acoustic guitar publicly

good survey rather

roth trent

lol. BOB can actually play guitar though, right?

haha yeah i think so

i appreciate real freestyles but…wtf… asher roth just set white rappers back like 20 years

i dunno...dude was quoting Happy Gilmore in 2003.

i quote happy gilmore in 2008

Blu i associate with BIG HOOS-style conscious rap which might be a good thing in this company

tru

what do you think currensy was doing during the photo shoot

BOB was at the show i was helping out w/ on saturday, judging by the number of XXL/vibe/source editors on his list u will all be very very sick of him soon

Only heard half these dudes. Of them, I pick Wale, but I get the impression Mickey Factz and Asher Roth may be way worse. The couple Ace Hood tracks I've heard are awful, but his freestyle on the BET hiphop awards was great. I like BOB and, yeah, I think he has the best commercial prospects out of this lot, or maybe Currensy.

currensy is the best of these dudes ive actually heard
but ive only heard like 3

jordan - n/p.

factz

I wish nothing but the best for Wale and Ace Hood

i generally have positive feelings about:

wale
currensy
cory gunz
b.o.b.

Wale followed by B.O.B. followed by Cory Gunz (gotta admit I was impressed by his A Milli tho). Fuck all these dudes.

On another note, why the fuck do I have three Curren$y mixtapes in my Music folder? I dig dude but I don't need three of his tapes. I have no quality control these days goddam

I still dig the Blu & Exile record.

On another note, why the fuck do I have three Curren$y mixtapes in my Music folder?

i think i may have asked you this before

I mean I dunno I feel like there's nobody exciting around these days. I track down shit by all these blog dudes and they all bore me. I'm tired of the static, and I hate that I'm stuck waiting on fourth quarter event albums like some herb but shit just isn't interesting me this year.

hoos otm.

go listen to Fuck Buttons instead, like your boy whiney.

oh goodness

i'm kinda surprised jay electronica wasn't on this list

okay i hadn't really heard charles hamilton or more than like 2 seconds of asher roth. based on the track j0rdan posted....hamilton is really boring, like just an average east coasty mixtape dude...asher roth is a dork and i hate his voice....BOB is cool.

i have heard of none of these

This is an astonishing piece of video footage, seriously. Reminiscent of that cable access rap show clip that went around on YouTube with the mentally retarded child, "Eli," freestyling. I'm floored.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i listened last night, im thinking that as a pop album it might not be that bad, but as rap it's sad that those beats were wasted on such an uninteresting rapper

i keep thinking of the pusha t diss @ wayne: "little nigga flow, but his metaphors boring"

we should really consolidate all our asher hate to one thread

http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kid-cudi-lead.jpg

I'M READY TO CHANGE MY ANSWER

funny that after all this that the real bonafide out of all these guys is gonna be drake and he didn't even make the cover

bonafide what?

long time star

a song off his mixtape is a top 15 rap hit

i think we're gonna be stuck with cudi for a while

pssst ww: Its almost 2009....What do your pets look like?

lol i forgot about cudi

hate the drake

list of my favorite drakes:

1. d4vid dr4k3
2. the drake
3. drake

drake's coffee cake?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/NPG_Drake.jpg

sir francis drake sailed around the world, d4vid dr4ke has opinions on oj the juiceman. gonna give it to sir f.

wasnt darkwing ducks real name drake

lol yeah drake mallard

i might be related to sir f

pretty sure that dudes who sail the world end up w/ a lot of kids

might as well have played for the supersonics

so common is "narrating" kid cudi's album http://elouai.com/images/yahoo/25.gif

there needs to be a roundtable discussion on which kanye west lackey is more self-important, lupe or cudi

yeah cudi was pretty bad this past week on MTV jams in those rooftop interviews they kept showing all the time. barf.

yeah...the guy is really a blank slate

i guess it's nice that Kanye is helping light-skinned guys come back in style after all

hilarious that the only guy who got multiple votes in this poll is the one whose name i've scarcely heard once in the past 6 months...actually i barely heard about Mickey Factz before, how'd he get 3 votes?

er, only guy who got more than 2 votes i guess

haha yeah who knows - iirc i voted for him because i saw his name the most while knowing the least about him. obv asher should've won

i gotta give Charles Hamilton props for having the sense to disappear, at least for the time being

i'm not sure if it was his choice tbh

i think a guy who shits ziptapes and pisses blog freakouts has to make some kind of active choice to stay out of the public eye, unless he's actually dead and nobody knows yet

you think a label that wasn't even ready to release his album on CD can keep him under a media gag order?

cory gunz hasn't been around too much lately either, at least on hiphopdx where he was second only to crooked i in fan boner support

"blue-chip abstract MCs such as Charles Hamilton and Asher Roth"

still in awe of this btw

lol

i'm not sure i ever knew who Blu was....

dude tell me you coined "ziptapes"

i wasn't insinuating a gag order, mostly that his silence post-girl punch was as much forced upon him by blogger/blog commenters than it was self-imposed

the only things i've really heard about Cory Gunz in the last few months were 1) a long rant from a blog that had apparently been stanning for him listing all the poor career moves he'd been making and 2) shortly after that the announcement that Nick Cannon was taking him under his wing and doing a reality show about him

'ziptapes' was coined by...somebody? people been saying it for a minute.

the whole Dilla fuckshit* happened after the girl punch, btw.

*is anyone else really entertained by Nah Right suddenly trying to make "fuckshit" a thing?

what was the dilla kerfuffle? (not saying fuckshit sorry nahright)

haha kerfuffle is much better

basically CHamilton posted liner notes for his album that gave Dilla an "executive producer" credit, people called it out as tastless, he kept saying he communed w/ Dilla's spirit, got permission from the guy's family, that he was doing it to be able to give money to some foundation, basically all this crazy shit that was all quickly debunked, huge huge backlash against the guy.

you. have. to. be. joking.

okay gotta google that shit....wow what a fucking toolbox

So, Cudi changes the name of his song and now it's not about fucking some girl's face?

the fuck outta here with this

little does he know that all that binary translates to "people like me less than Asher Roth"

So I have been selectively quiet in recent times, much to the (insert emotion here) of many. I can take this time now to be oblivious, or obvious when speaking about the time we’ve spent apart. I think I’ll write this like a 5th grade summer report.

I spent time growing up.

Blog entries were once my form of purging. Verbally, I’m a polemic white girl, and my emotions come out with every “create post” click. After a while, Eric Schmidt didn’t seem so deserving to get frequent updates on how I feel (the Google CEO, who also runs Blogger), despite the fact that my thousands of readers, do. Twitter isn’t exactly deserving of second-by-second updates either. Yeah world, it is as simple as, everything you need to know about me is in the music.

I wasn’t dropped, so much as I was escorted very gently into the Superintendent’s office with a pending expulsion from high school. I knew I had violated the student’s rights of others, but what can I say? I am the John Cutter of this institution of hip-hop (Breakfast Club anyone?). Such repercussions can never quell my desire to be the musician, rivaled only by the greatness of Georg Solti, John Williams and Quincy Jones. Really wanted a Grammy.

Some things got clarified quickly, and because of the nature of such clarification, I am not at will to speak on the status. So some questions will go unanswered for good. I am enjoying the fact that privacy is a right and a privilege that I can enjoy. Perhaps my lack of value for my privacy is what lead me to blog to begin with.

Well fret not, galaxy. Though a sharp decrease in mixtapes and albums will be noted, everything I have to say and deem necessary to share will come out in the music. Don’t ask about my current distribution situation. Just know I am here to hear and be heard. I thank family for being there for me, Karen for being the only (out of zillions of) blogger to have the proper outlet for me to speak, and everyone who found solice in my solstice.
Love.

Verbally, I’m a polemic white girl dairy queen, and my emotions come out with every “create post” click.

you know, i would seriously take one well-thought-out statement album by Charlie Ham than 8 mixtapes anyday, but i'm a rockist

btw do any of these magazines still exist

why was i braggin about that in the first place

its easy to forget that in the fall of 2008 the ringsnap posse was the height of glamor

Breakfast Club anyone?

this should be charles hamilton's epitaph

some of his ill-advised word choices in there are almost on the level of "lyrically launched salvo on a plethora of esteemed artist"
