    I could be old but the cyphers are way less exciting. I think I checked out last year’s and absolutely no standouts except that goofy ass dude.

    The all women cypher last year was dope

    He certainly is the ‘biggest’

    Yes, in fandom and physically, thanks for the input lol

    yeah so this is the very first xxl that i unequivocally no joke have no idea who any of these niggas are

    edit: wait nvm cash cobain is up there

    There’s plenty of those type of artists popping rn. And not for nothing, but an artist like BigX, Hunxho, and Bossman are very lyrical, it’s just not the type of lyrics most people on this site will vibe with so it’s not “lyrical” but they spit hella

    I think “lyrical rapper” has been attached to a specific sound and I never understood why

    We are out of the co-sign era.. these guys know they gotta earn their keep. All the guys from Texas got big co signs the past couple years so it’s pretty respectful of them to do this imo.

    Man I was so happy to see that BigX finally got acknowledged by a bigger entity. I don’t understand how it took so long. Bro’s beat selection, voice and s*** he raps about is perfect to me. Reminds me of Dolph. Need him, Key Glock, and Mexican OT on a song

    Yes. I think his sound was getting a tad stagnate.. but then I heard meet the 6ixers and it sounded polished up. So he’s definitely self aware and a lot of guys have a hard time being self aware. Hope to continue to see his success!!

    I’ll say this, this the first year I know and heard the whole list

    Still sucks that XXL doesn’t focus on multiple scene’s especially in the alternative space ie Niontay, Red Veil, Paris Texas

    There are so many great artist out there and they seem to only be interested in the street adjacent rap.

    THE WHOLE REASON WE GAVE A F*** ABOUT XXL FRESHMEN WAS THE FACT THEY USED TO HIGHLIGHT NEW ARTIST FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS
