XXL has released their 5th Freshman list, which is suppose to contain the names of up-and-coming rappers in the game. It's a trite list, cause some of these names have already been afloat for awhile. However, if you're looking for new spittas, the names are worth looking into. Here is a very concise analysis of each member of the class.

In case you're not gonna make the jump, the list is:
Future
Kid Ink
Danny Brown
Machine Gun Kelly
French Montana
Don Trip
Iggy Azalea
Macklemore
Hopsin
Roscoe Dash

Feel free to mention you're favorites in addition to the ones you could care less about or are repulsed by.

Future, French, and Danny the only guys I fuck with on there. The rest of the list looks like HB Forums put it together.

This list is just too suspect everytime I think about it. I seriously want to know how XXL chooses these people.

Him and Schoolboy Q would've been on it, had they accepted. Earl (and possibly Casey Veggies) got turned away because of Tyler's beef with the mag.

Sure, but I can take Mac cause he can relate to smart hipster niggas crackas alike, niggas with no rhythm. Roscoe gets the pussy wet. That is all. Iggy is meh, but way better than that -psuedo-crack whore Kreayshawn. Don Trip would've banged in speakers in the early-to-mid 90s. Don Trip is a sick hook man.

The rest? Fuck 'em.

Look at this

No Childish Gambino?

He's not scary enough to fuck with Interscope. Why Interscope? See the link in the first topic post.

They probably don't. Most of these spots were obviously bought by interscope
