    Another year of people who won’t even be around this time next year despite being told by 30 year olds online this is who the kids are playing

    Some of these niggas pushing 30 atleast lol

  • Hip hop is more dead than country

  • ICEMAN KIR

  • Belly trap kushington and trap d***ey 🔥

  • Mission

    They’re like 3 years late on babyfxce e

    Should’ve been on there last year. PTP was the hottest song last year lol

  • it's gotta get old commenting "who" every year for over a decade

  • BecauseTK

    List is cool.

    I know everyone outside of 3.

    Slayr & Trim damn near blew up overnight

    Babyfxce E should’ve been on last years cover

    I think the older generation cherished music more. Like alot of artists had staying power. I havent seen anyone in years worth a f***

    calling any of these rappers famous would be a massive stretch. none of them have more than 3 million spotify listeners and a few of them have less than a million.

    back in the day they used to get rappers who made actual waves and had hits to their names. but those simply don't exist anymore, so i guess now it's supposed to be more of an underground showcase.

  • First time I've never heard of a single person in a XXL cover.

  • I know La Reezy, Slayr, Trap D***ey, Babyfxce E, Trim & Skrilla

  • as an unc ™️ whose tapped in with esdeekid, fakemink, and xaviersobased i have no idea who none of these niggas are

  • In the 2020s this just became a game for me to see how many I know and if I'm as out the loop as the next mans or not

    It's kinda like Russian roulette and the bullet being ur washed

  • nevalost

    Miles Minnick & YKNiece gotta be people they just found freestyling at the park

    Ykniece had song of the summer last year with Take Me Thru Dere. She got a song with Belly Gang that’s been going up too. She ight. Cool pregame music.

  • This cover looks so drab. Wouldn’t take a second look at this anywhere it’s being sold.

    i really do wonder how much longer XXL will keep this going purely out of the sake of tradition. these are the total views for each years cyphers, it's getting pretty bleak:

    2011 - 16.7m
    2012 - 7.4m
    2013 - 15.5m
    2014 - 44.4m
    2015 - 6.3m
    2016 - 290m
    2017 - 77.2m
    2018 - 45m
    2019 - 67.4m
    2020 - 35.1m
    2021 - 12.4m
    2022 - 6.6m
    2023 - 4.6m
    2024 - 2.2m
    2025 - 1.5m

    Damn 2023 and on really broke their average
