38 replies, posted
Probably one of the worst cyphers to date for XXL's Freshman Class, holy fuck.

bruh this shit is wack
Playboy Carti did nothing to help his awful freestyle but the rest of them didn't do much better. Also lmao at xxx standing in the corner the entire time and dropping the weirdest, but at least tolerable, verse of the bunch.
x is the embodiment of edginess defined by the internet that I was waiting all my life to appear as a real person in the mainstream because this shit hilarious
this guy really had them cut the beat off so he could mutter some shit that sounds like he ripped it out of a middle schoolers diary
ugly god with his brand new freestyle "water part 2"

he's a really cool guy and he's pretty talented. it's just a shame because look at me is one of his most played / praised songs and everyone dickrides him for the really loud / bass tone-y music he puts out. he's really versatile

like this sort of stuff. he's definitely edgy, i won't deny that, but i think it's a part of his music persona at this point
x is straight up one of the hottest up and comers on the radar atm. hes stupid versatile and really gives a shit about the art.
carti and ugly god are pretty whack overall but they have some bars, madeintyo is a pleasant surprise too, kid can hold a dank flow

last years freshman class will always be top tier though, denzel curry is a fucking monster
as someone who regularly follows all of these guys and having a bit of experience free-styling myself, sometimes your bars are just kinda bunk. All of them did a pretty good job keeping consistency within their flows though which is honestly the more impressive thing to me when it comes to freestyles, but that's just personal opinion
i kinda like magnolia but damn carti was trash here
thanks ugly god
I didn't know Supreme made kid sized clothes.
XXX popularized a really unique genre blend, but I doubt he'll have the consistency or the drive to really get anywhere with it, even as a living meme. He has the middle school edgelord style down, which helps his brand, but I think we'll see someone else hop on the style and pull it off way better soon enough.
Playboi Carti and Madeintyo are basically famous SoundCloud rappers without a real character, image, sound, or style to sell. Ugly God has the character and meme-ness, but not the sound or anything else.
Honestly, out of the XXL freshman list, Amine has the best overall style and sound. Talented, good vocalist, unique presentation, and way more memorable than the rest.
the magnum sponsor made me lol, magnum are actually for people with small dicks and self esteem issues
im kind of split on x, he has some interesting songs but is throwing the chance he has been given away on bullshit, unless he grows up i dont want to support him
didn't xxx beat up a pregnant girl or something
Laughably edgy, god damn.

I still can't understand XXX's following.
xxx is one of the first times that ive truly felt out of touch with todays youth
[QUOTE=Duck M.;52466800]xxx is one of the first times that ive truly felt out of touch with todays youth[/QUOTE]
be glad youre out of touch, you aint missing anything
X has a few good songs under his name, and im surprised he had the balls to diss J cole too, but i hate the angsty community of fans that surrounds him
Xs following isnt really what you think it would be. its mainly the same kinda people who like the florida dark rap scene in general, its not edgy 15 year old girls who shop at hot topic. you gotta realize that the upbringing a lot of floridas rappers had involved some gruesome shit and that gets reflected in their art
i get the edgy tryhardness comes off hard but there is actual context to why his music is the way it is
gospel and the usual white girl "look at me" are bangers but the mixing is trash and that being his whole gimmick is kinda trash.
Also he stole the "look at me" beat from lil dicky in "too high." and as jews we don't play that shit.
X is trash

Actually it's a sample from Changes by Mala

and if you really want to get into it The Game sampled it before either of them. I think it's a little hypocritical of you to be calling out X when Dicky literally just used The Games beat with no alterations when XXXtentacion used his own mix of the sample.

You can call X trash, but the only one who 'stole' a beat here is Dicky which it's not even stealing, rappers rap over other rappers beats all the time.
In elementary school, one of the things we did in music-class was a music video. We were divided into groups and each did their own. This is like the worst one of them. :v:

Oh god, I had to fight with all my might to not just stop at XXXwhatevers edgelord monologue. I cringed so hard my face started hurting.
i liked the edgy monologue sounded like some naruto shit

i never even noticed that and i have the mala song on vinyl somewhere, i think x's use of the beat is way better than lil dicky or the game

I can appreciate the rap god sasuke xxx with clipping 808s [video=youtube;CRKcdFWjnCs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRKcdFWjnCs[/video]
But it seems he has turned into an edgy Jaden Smith, which sucks.
Edge you say?
