Earlier this week, XXL magazine debuted its 2011 “Freshman Class” issue featuring a bunch of dudes–some of whom I’ve never seen or even heard of it. It’s kinda crazy how I had to dissect the cover by using Google to figure out  who majority of the guys were, aside from Yelawolf, Diggy, Lil Twist and Cyhi The Prince. To be honest, the cover is straight up garbage! And I honestly don’t know why half of these guys even made the cover, like Mr. “Toot it & Boot it” aka YG. Is this really the future of Hip-hop? ‘Cause if it is, then we’re in serious trouble! Anywhoo, let me get to the real topic at hand–where are the female rappers? This is the fourth year XXL has left out the femcees. Over 3 million people live in the United States, and you mean to tell me there aren’t any dope female rappers out there?

Nicki Minaj is doing her thing right now, so why is it that female rappers are still being treated like they’re outcasts?

What’s your take on this lackluster cover?

XXL magazine debuts 2011′s Freshman class of hip hop, featuring Diggy Simmons, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Big K.R.I.T., CyHi Da Prynce, Lil Twist, Yelawolf, Fred The Godson, Mac Miller, YG and Lil B. We saw how last year’s class members wound up…sorta lack luster. Any predictions for 2011? Who will top the charts?


My only question is…really no female rappers?! Seriously XXL, there are no worthy femcees out there? I highly doubt that!

Earlier this week news broke of Diggy Simmons officially signing on to Atlantic Records as a solo rap artist.

As of Monday, March 22, 2010, the day after Diggy’s 15th birthday, the deal has been sealed; Atlantic Records has signed Daniel “Diggy” Simmons!!


Such sudden news lead people to think that Diggy was just another product of nepotism…i mean his dad is Revered Run of Run DMC. So did his dad’s rap royalty status + “Simmons” last name have anything to do with Diggy Simmons scoring a record deal? Did we fail to mention Diggy’s uncle is Russell Simmons?

Well in a recent interview squashed those speculations and allegations by stating he got signed on his own. Dad had nothing to do with it.


If nepotism was into play…then why didn’t JoJo Simmons get signed. Ya know from their MTV “Run’s House” JoJo’s been working on his music for a minute and here comes Diggy and shuts it down. Is it because Diggy’s rap skills are better than JoJo’s? Is it because Diggy is cuter than JoJo? Is it because Diggy is more marketable than JoJo?

THOUGHTS?!
