Boo is all I can say… come on they got better dudes in Atlantla better than these clowns, they could have had Jeezy,Luda T.I. Young Dro, Outkast, J.Money. There are so many better choices besides these dudes.

They put a display of the most ignorant “rappers” from the South on the cover. XXL loses a lot or credibility. They will laugh at themselves in the future and wonder, “were we smoking the same sh*! as this Gucci Mane character”.

Wow…Double XL just had to find the worst, most wackest, most horrible rappers out right now. Why these four clowns?

What about Luda?
What about TIP?
What about Outkast?
What about Goodie Mob?
What about Killer Mike?
What about Paster Troy?

I know some of yall are gonna defend them by saying “They gettin money,” which is nice, it’s good they gettin money by putting out trash, while we’re sitting here struggling, but at the end of the day, I guess that’s all can really say to defend them.

These are the people repping the South? Damn where is Luda, Jeezy, TI, or Andre 3000? I live in the Dirty dirty and I don’t listen to them but my little cousins in HS or MS do. unfortunately for us these people are the face of southern Music, BS.

when these rap niggas gonna learn that they wearing fake jews. the reason the rap game is garbage because you got crackers in high postion controllin the music and controling what bein put out and promoted. why is that? That the ? yall niggas need to be asking u heard me. Dont get mad at these rappers they doin their job which is to dumb down u niggas. I kno they beats go hard but any nigga that buy this bullshit is a fool.

These are the most ignorant rappers alive today. Hip-hop has been on the decline ever since the south took over. Don’t get me wrong cause they have some good rappers like T.I, Andre 3000, and Luda but facts are facts. Lyrical content died when the south’s reign began.

these niggas this,these niggas that, the south this ,the south that,hip hop much like the streets are about imitation,right now the big thing to talk about is moving weight and coming up with catchy dances,or have a feature with lil wayne or kanye ask keri hilson,then ask ciara,but to start getting into personal insults when you don’t personnaly know these people is ignorance times ten.xxl put these people on the cover because they’ve generated a little buzz and they’re trying to sell magazines..can’t put your favorite white rapper or big booty bitch on the cover everytime.
OldSoulNewEra Says:
May 17th, 2009 at 11:40 am
PPL!! Plz understand that the reason T.I/Luda/Jeezy/etc. aren’t mentioned is b/c they have outgrown the street shit. They are mainstream and commercial and do not repreent the streets as thorough anymore, even Jeezy. The artists on this cover are closer to the streets (which is what the cover was going for) than those artists. Not tryin’ 2 throw hate, and you DON’T have 2 like it, but I see why they were chosen. No one in this forum was on the cover now was they?…..Ok then…..just don’t waste your $5.00 or whatever on this edition, but everyone else from the A is gettin’ played out….No disrespect.

AND PLZ RETIRE THE WORD SWAG AND ALL ITS VARIATIONS!!!! K? Thx.

I agree they’re not the most intelligent of rappers, but they make the music they make and do what they need to do. someone is listening to it, and its not always ignorant ppl. OJ and Gucci have been hot on teh college circuit for sometime now. And it’s not always the lyrics….it can be the beat sometimes right? Gucci does sound good with the Diamonds.

..when are y’all goin realize all rap isn’t the same lyrical new York rap had it run like everything else it’s a cycle…and y’all are gonna hate on there music because it’s different isn’t that like musicaly racism… And to everybody naming outkast, luda, ti, killer mike, pastor troy etc I like all of dem but there not hot no more..
Zaret Says:
May 17th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
And to the person that said whites is controlling hip hop dats true in a way because gucci has a deal but nobody buys or care about his CDs he’s hot because mixtapes and shows….and smh dat plies is better than any these dudes plies sucks lyrically and musically…. Females only like dis dude….
