The 2011 XXL Magazine Freshmen
Per @RobXXL’s instructions. Covers don’t make or break a rap career. But, Danny Brown should have got a spot. Either way, XXL Magazine got y’all talking (and copping, maybe?), which means they won.
Congrats to Meek Mill, Big K.R.I.T., CyHi Da Prince, Lil Twist, Yelawolf, Fred the Godson, Mac Miller, YG, Lil B, Kendrick Lamar and Diggy Simmons.
