If you follow my blog you know last year I did a mid term review for the XXL 2009 Freshmen Class. Well I'm gonna do a short mid term evaluation for this years class too. Also if you remember earlier this year I did my predictions for this class. Basically with his I'm just going off what the XXL Freshmen have done so far since they've been choosen.
Donnis: B
J. Cole: B
Wiz Khalifa: A
Pill: C+
Jay Rock: D-
OJ Da Juiceman: F
Freddie Gibbs: C+
Big Sean: B+
Fashawn: B
Nipsey Hu$le: B-
Donnis- Not really sold on dude yet as artist but he's got some stuff done. So far after being honored as a XXL freshman he has dropped 2 decent mixtapes and has been signed to Atlantic Records. But the think about dude is a lot of folks don't like him and his music. This dude might be the first ever new artist to ever be posted on Niketalk and not one NT and I mean not even one liked dude music. I won't take that from him at all since NT is not even 1/4 of the hip hop world. I'll just say this no matter how many fools may not like him or think he's gay (that's a whole 'nother decussion) dudes work ethic is on point and he has got some shit done so far. And I want to see were this takes him. Hey eventually I might mess with his music done the road. Shit I use to hate Ross' music now he's one of my faves. Not comparing Donnis with Rozay but I'm just saying anything is possible on some KG shit. Also his Fashionably Late EP is dropping soon I'm def gonna listen to that and determine mu opinion from there.
Grade: B
J. Cole- eh A lot of folks ain't feeling his single and what not. I think its pretty good and was a right choice. As for progress since the mag... well shit he had a major deal before then and was featured on Jay's album and had like one of the best verses on that whole damn album. He's in a real good position to do a lot of damage. Will he sell a lot records? I don't think so but who really cares. But lets hope he keeps it up and drops the album soon and not get the put on Jiggaboo Knowles shelf.
Grade: B
Fuck these fools for dropping a track at 4:20 AM I got class in a couple hours.
RICK ROSS "SUPER HIGH REMIX" FEAT. WIZ KHALIFA & CURREN$Y
Shoutout to the homie A-Live from one of my fave up and coming hip hop groups Green Street for hooking this up for me. Green Street toured recently with Wiz Khalifa and Wiz stopped to drop some wize words for everyone.
Random Acts of Flyness mutherfuckers........
LOL Alot of dudes caught bitch feelins over this mixtape today thats a different story. SMH at the cover art also. David Ruffin is rolling over in his grave. But I won't be that guy lol. This tape is worth the download fuck the cover art.

Shoutout to the homie David & Gotty at The Smoking Section.
Basically new music from everyone featured on the XXL 2010 Freshmean. (Pill, Jay Rock, Nipsey Hussle, Big Sean, Fashawn, Freddie Gibbs, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole, OJ Da Juiceman and Donnis) This tape could have been a lot better if they would have took some time on it. Why they didn't get the dudes to collabo on it? Looks like each artist basically submitted tracks from their personal vault. 
XXL FRESHMAN 2010 (MIXTAPE)
Mhhh on paper when I first saw this list I thought to myself this might be the most complete XXL list they have ever put together. Well it his but thats not really saying that much. Then they started dropping theses freestyle videos and I said man these dudes had me fooled. Then I said man everybobdy is putting too much hype and thinking too much about these XXL list. Its sad folks need a 15 second "freestyle" for you to judge whether or not you gonna check for a dudes past music or continue to check on him in the future. With that said I'm done fucking with these Magazine list. And as my last task I'll give my short opinion on each dude XXL selected to do the mag this year. But I will admit. XXL was 7/10 this year with the rappers they chose. And remember what I'm about to say is all my OPINION. And unlike most I give all music a fair listen before I give any kind of critique on it to save myself from looking stupid. And with that said....
1. Pill 
Pill makes some really good music. I honestly don't know to explain his music. He mixes Atlanta trap music with actual lyrical punchlines. With the right backing dude can be a problem in the future. I've seen a couple folks compared him to Ace Hood this week. Please kill yourself. Is it because he has dreads? Since when have we started basing musical skill off hair? Petty fools.
2. Wiz Khalifa
Um I've been called a sackrider/fanboy so I won't speak too much on it lol. Just know he's >>> Everybody else on this list.
3. Nipsey Hu$$le
I refuse to believe this ain't Snoops son. He reminds alot of Snoop. He just don't have a talented producer backing him. And he also came into the game in the wrong era lol. But homie should be fine. If the world don't ended in 2012. Music should be somewhat back. Not album sales wise but everything else.
4. Fashawn 
Homie looks familiar. I'm pretty sure he was on the Secret Society mixtape 8o. I'm a fan of Fashawn homie music is excellent. He might stay strictly underground but there is nothing wrong with that. The industry sucks anyway. Shoutouts to him also for actually freestyling on this video lol.
5. J. Cole
J. Cole > Drake
That is all.
6. Big Sean
GO SEAN GO! GO SEAN GO! If she ain't got no rubbers, than it... NO SEAN NO!
Won't speak on Sean too much. He got Kanye's cocky/cool/asshole demeanor don't too a key and that might get him somewhere. I just need for him to stop with forced punchlines. Every line you say doesn't have to big clever and witty. But I'm happy he is finally using his Kanye co-sign. He was about to get that G.O.O.D. Music bum stamp from me word to GLC and Really Doe.
7. Freddie Gibbs
My nigga Gibbs. Probably the only dude on the list that I've talked to personally about his music direction. And I know were his head is at. Homie will change the game and bring Gangter rap back. I don't know when. But he will eventually. Next to Wiz I'm rooting for Gibbs the most out of any dude. DO NOT SLEEP.
8. OJ Da Juiceman 
A lot of people where mad and said XXL lost their credibility on this pick. Pardon me I had to laugh at that. How a magazine that post 50 Cent and Em on every other month get credit is beyond me. Ok we get it OJ ain't lyrical at all. But homie has a bigger buzz than anybody on this list. XXL would have lost credibility not putting him on this list if it was based off what they said it is. And stop saying OJ was Drakes last minute replacement. How in the fuck do yall know all this then get shocked when you see OJ on the list #Sheep. As for OJs career it most likely will go the same as Gucci's career. These fools make "coon" music but you can deny their hustle. They know who to sell their music too and not everyone has to like. Remember this music is not based around you only so get off your high horses and STFU! Also Otis James freestyle was god awful. Don't know what he was thinking. I have real explanation for that.
9. Donnis
Donnis released very good mixtape last year. Let me take that back, he dropped a very good produced mixtape with a lot of co-signs on it. I'm also very shocked he made the list. I put a couple of my homies on his music but I just thought he was gonna be a fly by blog only rapper. I maybe still right about that because is lyrical ability is very limited and I think personally at the age he is he probably hit his peak. Unless he's on that Officer Ricky shit were he gets better with time. But I'm not sure where Donnis career will go. I will just sit back and watch. And hope the best for homie. Also please give Big Sean his flow back please.
10. Jay Rock
I'm not gonna say dude is trash but I'm feeling dude music at all. He obviously can rap anybody can see or hear at. But his music doesn't really change my attention. He's like someone picked the Game in NBA Live and took some of his Attributes down. Where do I see him in the future..... I have no idea lol.
XXL ALSO WHY IS THIS MAN NOT ON THIS LIST? (-______-) 
Fuck it he doesn't have to make a "list" to make it as a rapper.
Late pass on this. I was too busy watching wrestling last night :hat
I just posted a Wiz Khalifa vid but fuck it.
WIZ KHALIFA - SWEAT BOX from Creative Control on Vimeo.
I could be late on this video but F**k it. I'm actually looking more forward to the Curren$y Smokey Robinson mixtape on Superbowl Sunday than the actual game. This Nipsey Hu$$le, Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y track sealed the deal for me. Oh yeah I'm also still salty about the Vikes being cheated but I'll save that for another blog :(
Here's some Studio footage of Nipsey, Curren$y & Wiz working on a record for curren$y's "Smokey Robinson" mixtape. This is a preview of what we are about to do down at SXSW. The lineup's coming soon but I promise it's gonna be a crazy show! GoodTalk - Shipes
