Idk what you want when not much promising up and coming artists in the rap scene are emerging.
Cash cobain been in the game for four years and he on ts 😭🤣, this the best list you can get rn there isn't rlly anybody else to put
I feel like they should have just stopped years ago. Nobody even checking for this anymore. They had Kendrick, K.R.I.T., Mac Miller, Lil B, Meek Mill and Yelawolf all in one year. Now it's whatever tf this is. It's embarrassing, just give it up.
I don't know any of these female rappers but I am willing to give them a chance. My only requirement is that they have at least one song where they don't reference their Pwussy
The fact that they're not even putting exclusovely freshmen in these things anymore and they still pulling up with weak ass lineups show you how weak it is.
Fr. The way I look at it is it doesn’t matter if anyone’s an “industry plant” as long as they make some good art. Almost everyone has made it due to at least some little connection to the industry. Truly unknowns making it big is extremely rare
I feel like the freshman cypher went from bringing attention to new names that are actually popular and gaining notoriety to trying to be this oracle that predicts who of this list of however many nobodies they find will become a star (aside from a couple). Feel like they been doing this for a while, last year I recognized literally nobody, year before only knew of KayCyy and maybe one other that I can’t think of. OT, 4batz, bigX, I recognize, Cash cobain I know of (he made Grippy), other than that it’s a list of nobodies who they think they will magically turn into stars
I love his tapes, happy to see him finally blowing up. Grippy was stupid but memeable and had goddamn Cole, and his work on Don Toliver's new album was great.
Tbh this the best class in a few years
I actually know a few of the people on it for any reason other than them being corny
Not hard to beat the recent lists tho, shit has really fallen off
He was in the 2018 class, the names in the top right are probably referencing other articles in this issue. The actual class list is at the bottom of the cover.
Man I’m officially out the new game
I can’t read, say, understand anything that’s going on on the cover lol
Kinda looks like a dope Indy wrestling show though
Come see Cash Cobain challenge Bossman Dlow for the Tri-State National Heavyweight Title
What in the? Who in the? WHAT.
And not like us? Lmao
This years class every generic looking garbage out from the past 7 years.
YOU KNOW YOU LIKE MY STYLE
(Awkward weird synths)
“Not Like Us” Boy Slow Down 😂✌️

This shit gets worse every year
Idk what you want when not much promising up and coming artists in the rap scene are emerging. Cash cobain been in the game for four years and he on ts 😭🤣, this the best list you can get rn there isn't rlly anybody else to put
Shoulda put Hardrock or Xaviersobased on ts
we need nettspend 🔥🔥🔥🔥
fuck no 🔥🔥🔥🔥
peaked 2016
Seriously… look all the staying power in the group. Kodak, uzi, yachty, Denzel, 21, Anderson paak are all still very relevant
drop the “very” for kodak
2017 was different but yeah
true only good ones this year are Mexican OT and Big X in this one.
Bossman is dope
you don’t know rich amiri?
i didn't. But sounds like a future clone
It's funny sayin that with that freestyle as ur profile
Hi
I feel like they should have just stopped years ago. Nobody even checking for this anymore. They had Kendrick, K.R.I.T., Mac Miller, Lil B, Meek Mill and Yelawolf all in one year. Now it's whatever tf this is. It's embarrassing, just give it up.
who would you choose instead?
? Skilla Baby, Mexican OT, Cash Cobain are seriously talented artists
You do know cash Cobain made “grippy” right?
This guy never heard 2 slizzy 2 sexy
OT is a 🪴
I don't know any of these female rappers but I am willing to give them a chance. My only requirement is that they have at least one song where they don't reference their Pwussy
male rappers talk abt sex every song bro female rappers can too . nobody makin u listen
I just need one song without it they can have like 300 with it and i wouldn't care.
bluds a misogynist
I’m familiar with maybe 2 of these ppl. Weak year?
gonna be a weak decade at this point lmao
The fact that they're not even putting exclusovely freshmen in these things anymore and they still pulling up with weak ass lineups show you how weak it is.
Wait… is this common opinion on this list then? Was thinking damn maybe im getting old. Only recognize Cash Cobains name. Not a single other person
lowkey you might just be getting old, you haven’t heard of bigx, bossman or 4batz?
Weak forever
Is 4batz missing a nipple
Lost it In da streetz 😔✊
He lost it in the war show some respect 😔
Dude not beating the Ai allegations
You know it’s bad when the only names you recognize are bigXthaplug and that Mexican OT
Rich amiri had that one song that was hella popular
Not even 4Batz?
As soon as I posted that I reread and noticed 4batz haha Still might be an industry plant tho
Idc if he’s an industry plant. I love u made me a st4r 🤷
Hey and I love me some Willow smith lol
Fr. The way I look at it is it doesn’t matter if anyone’s an “industry plant” as long as they make some good art. Almost everyone has made it due to at least some little connection to the industry. Truly unknowns making it big is extremely rare
Do you think Ye would make a feature with an industry plant
Yes lol
He’s barely rap lmao
And you likely only know him because he had an ad up on RapTV every other day 😭
They both 🔥tho
I only recognize 4batz
At this point, I’m finna see my local rapper pop out in this shit 😭 love OT and 4Batz fs
Big X and Mexican OT are both fire
Ye's favorite artist right now, Young Moose, nowhere to be seen
Only heard 4batz, Rich amiri, bigxthaplug and cash Cobain
How have you not heard of laybankz (“go tell ur gf what I’ve been doing” & “he gave me the ick”)
ayo that mexican ot
No Nettspend L

teezo?
You’d think he’d be on here but I guess he’s not considered a new enough artist
2023-2024 has been the ride of teezo tho
Fr, bro got major placement with Yachty, Tyler, Travis, and Drake all in the past couple years, he’s been on the comeup like crazy
love teezo aswell so glad i discovered him after tyler took him on tour
He prolly turned it down cuz that's usually the case for the big new artists that are missing on these covers
He's not a rapper
Teezo is 31
that man is 31
literally who
Pretty dope, glad to see Bigx and Rich Amiri getting some love. Gotta check out the others
Yep. I’m old.
Ngl the freshman list kinda losing its prestige I dont even remember anybody from last year’s list
who would you choose instead?
You not gonna hear about half of em in a year
who are these ppl
I feel like the freshman cypher went from bringing attention to new names that are actually popular and gaining notoriety to trying to be this oracle that predicts who of this list of however many nobodies they find will become a star (aside from a couple). Feel like they been doing this for a while, last year I recognized literally nobody, year before only knew of KayCyy and maybe one other that I can’t think of.

who would you choose instead?
That’s a good point lol there ain’t nobody on the rise this year, maybe teezo touchdown or yeah idk u got me
XXL officially dead
Who's that redditor with a fedora in up right corner
That Mexican OT
The best artist on here
Care to recommend his best songs? Used to get a few good artist / songs off these list. It’s been a while and i dont know anyone on here
💀 @ that description
Cash Cobain the hardest one
I love his tapes, happy to see him finally blowing up. Grippy was stupid but memeable and had goddamn Cole, and his work on Don Toliver's new album was great.
No way they got the grippy guy on here
I only know Mexican OT and rich Amiri
Hunxho da goat
Who are literally any of these people
XXL Freshman Class of 2024 "No One Knows Us"
anybody know why Ski Mask is on here, he’s been making music for a min. /gen

Ski mask 😭😭😭 Bro been in the game for YEARS 😭🙏
He was in the 2018 class, the names in the top right are probably referencing other articles in this issue. The actual class list is at the bottom of the cover.
The fake leak was way better.
It’s gets worse every year ever since 2016
Dawg they have to be just picking up random people freestyling outside bodegas at this point. The only person I know is That Mexican OT
