XXL Reveals Their 2013 Freshman List

IHHM — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:35:34 +0000

This list gets less interesting every year, it's not that I don't know anyone on the list it's just that I could give 2 fux about 90% of them. This year we have an 11th Freshman who turns out to be Chief Kief, and since he's not with the group that means he was still locked up when this was taken. And c'mon Action Bronson's a Freshman? Maybe I'm just too early, but then again this is the same mag that completely missed Nicki Minaj and Drake. I'd love to hear your feedback on this years list.

Schoolboy Q
Trinidad Jame$
Joey Bada$$
Ab-Soul
Logic
Action Bronson
Kirko Bangz
Travi$ Scott
Dizzy Wright
Angel Haze
Chief Keef – “The 11th Freshman”

IHHM — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:27:36 +0000

For the December/January issue of XXL magazine, they feature 5 special covers about the 5 Faces of 50 Cent. Floyd Mayweather appears alongside 50 Cent on one of the five covers. Below is a excerpt from the story where Fif speaks on his upcoming album.

“For me, I’m still up against what I’ve done. So in order to top it, I know it’s a difficult task. You know, I see the bloggers. My audience hasn’t grown with me. They keep saying, “Aw, man, I want the old 50!” ’Cause those people, it would take them on a safari. I was bringing them close enough to the animals, without being able to get hurt. I was taking them into my neighborhood, where you can very well get your ass killed.”
