Kendrick was on the list last year. Ab Soul didn't have enough buzz to make the list this year because he was overshadowed by Kendrick but Q should have been on it. Soul should definitely be on it next year and Jay Rock already has a lot of recognition among people.
@VanHalenWorshiper hes not mainstream, yah he does sometimes do that punchline flow but hes a very creative original rapper that is breath of fresh air in today's rap industry. Hes also an actor, writer, singer, and stand up comedian. guy can fucking multi-task.
Elzhi is alright. Listened to a few of his tracks. Takes a bit longer to get the point across about what he is saying. I like Gamb B because he adds in one liners throughout his tracks.
@boshe3232 it was probably Pitchfork. They gave @ Donaldglover 's Camp album a 1.6? but BasedGod Velli a 7.8? Really?? Another reason why I can't take them seriously!!
entirely ahead of his time as far as intellect goes, the majority of people sadly will misunderstand this type of outlook on these topics and the irony of it is, if more people thought this kind of artist was "cool", people like 2 Chainz would become the oddball
No this list isn't a joke, both Kendrick and Krit were on the XXL list in 2011. And even though I do think Danny Brown is better than Hopsin, did I say that this list was in order of rank? No. Ab-Soul, yes he deserves it, but the list is mainly based on the buzz of an artist. Guarantee that most people didn't even know about Ab-Soul before his Control System album dropped. He definitely should be on the list next year. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned the chance to be on the list down though
I have no idea how he made it. His stand up makes me cringe, his rap makes me cringe and those shorts he should be shot for. -Sincerely Comedian Robert Powell Louisiana's Comedian of the Year.
I know this is MAD biased of me but after what he said about Lupe I can't get behind him. I don't know, you know anything of his that could change my mind?
Nahh nahh. Gambino takes them all down with intellectual wordplay. None can be even compared to him. Yes you can talk about flows and tone but lyrical content will dumb some mines. Right now all I listen to is Childish Gambino and CunninLynguists. because that's all I need to satisfy my hip-hop needs.
epic
this my friend, is amazing
Thanks for tha info arron
need hopsin still on there
You're right I forgot about Logic! He didn't have enough buzz to be on the list this year though. If he's not on it next year I will disown XXL.
uh, prolly one of the realest in the game right now.
Actually, the list should've been:
Childish Gambino
ASAP Rocky
Earl Sweatshirt
Schoolboy Q
Danny Brown
Hopsin
Macklemore
XV
Los
you forgot Hopsin. Not saying this because he is on the list now, but either way, he should be on everybody's list.
Kendrick was on the list last year. Ab Soul didn't have enough buzz to make the list this year because he was overshadowed by Kendrick but Q should have been on it. Soul should definitely be on it next year and Jay Rock already has a lot of recognition among people.

Gambino is a mastermind
Lol at the basketball story at the end, classic, beautiful shot wrong goal lol that's awesome!!!
100% FUCKING YES!
Outside - Childish Gambino
Well, yeah but he wouldn't be a bad addition. I'd like to hear him in a cypher.
That basketball story was brutal. Sounds like a snickers hungry why wait commercial, lol.
believe your looking for the song "Outside" its on his Album titled "Camp"
Elzhi is alright. Listened to a few of his tracks. Takes a bit longer to get the point across about what he is saying. I like Gamb B because he adds in one liners throughout his tracks.
This Gambino interview is one of the best they have had.
the one dislike is obviously either Pitchfork or Andy Milonakis...
Me too! Ahhhh
Not going back , off his EP
Him and those short shorts... I just love it!
@SuperCrash112 good list but tyler is going to take that earl spot dude
@boshe3232 it was probably Pitchfork. They gave @ Donaldglover 's Camp album a 1.6? but BasedGod Velli a 7.8? Really?? Another reason why I can't take them seriously!!
How do you put ASAP as number one. Name one song off that mixtape that is up to par lyrically with anyone else on that list =\
Kid is fresh.. like a mixture of new style and hard rap
Macklemore was on the 2012 list... GOOD CHOICE.
Love this guy...down to earth
Shout to Stone Mountain, G.A.

Bombass comedian and I'm slowly becomin a fan of his music
Our studios in hollywood are open day and night! Let's make this happen!!! @ AndyMilonakis @ tinafey @ donaldglover @ kreayshawn #rapbattle

Since you're obviously a Big Krit fan you should know that he was on the list last year lol
The freshman List should have had
Childish Gambino, Tyler, The Creator, and H*Wood
how is he fake? he doesn't rap about anything other than his feelings and being him, he doesn't promote a fake image
What about Logic?
i might, and yes it does
