I tried listening to videos from each of that Freshman XXL list and I can't find anything special about any of them, am I the only one? They all sound terrible to me. Am I too old for this stuff or something?

The lists are always garbage...This is well known

Travi$ Scott - Birds in the Trap short film. Weird, and not necessarily in a good way. Stop teasing and give me a damn Coordinate video, La Flame.

2017 XXL Freshman Class : Kamaiyah, A Boogie, PNB Rock, xxxtentacion, Playboi Carti, Madeintyo, Amine, Ugly God, Kap G, Kyle

Garbage. Most likely not to succeed.

Kamaiyah had that song "How does it feel" which isn't like...super special but it was good and enjoyable.


...that's about it.

happy for kap g and kamaiyah

 

[enzo_gt]

Thing about that Freshmen list is that Playboi Carti and MadeInTYO have the most hits already of people on there. MadeInTYO had Uber Everywhere and Skateboard P is a not too shabby follow-up. Really puts things into perspective.

Caroline and iSpy charted higher than any of those.

Drowning by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie has been my shit though.

Madeintyo is ... okay. Uber Everywhere was real good and Skateboard P gets decent radio play here in NY.

 

[enzo_gt]

Best A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie song. His breakout single My Shit is good too. Hilarious video too because the video girl couldn't be less interested.

Of course, and I reiterate, he has verse of the year on Horses.

All big bankroooooooooolls
I got no hoooooooes
I just left my girlfriend, I'm in love with the Ghooooost now
She's full of emooootions, and now she my oooold bitch
'Cause my 'Rari knows how to ride, when it goooes down

Will Carti ever deliver a song as good as "Magnolia"?

 

[Tokubetsu]

no

 

[Dereck]

I have a feeling that Magnolia being good was accidental on Carti's behalf.

 

[FZZ]

Magnolia is 1/16 as good as XO Tour Llif3

that makes it a top 5 song of the year tbh

 

[Tokubetsu]

I have a feeling that Magnolia being good was accidental on Carti's behalf.

well supposedly it was made in like 5 minutes so yes it was accidental.

 

[HiResDes]

Dothatshit and Woke Up Like This are just as good.

 

[Dereck]

That tape is a monument of post Lil B era swag rap tbh

Spoiler

It's like I copy and pasted this from KTT

well desiigner lasted for almost a year, so probably around the same time as him but hopefully less

A Boogie actually is a good rapper and that drowning song is getting a lot of airplay in NYC right now.

Was listening to solo 2 Chainz always this difficult?

Fuck him what a fucking scumbag. If his music were more vital to me I'd have a greater dilemma but he's easily replaceable. I'm a hypocrite because I like some GG Allin tracks and at one time I listened to awful neo nazi neofolk artists and Burzum, but those artists were much more significant to me at one time or another.

Yeah you were pretty spot on with the odd future comparison as a collective but much less edgy and aggressive.
