The XXL 2012 Freshman Roundtable Discussion [Part. 1: Fame]

[EG.]

About time someone posted this tbh.

[deaneedog]

Part 2 is out as well.

[Tash8]

lol at the idiot who compared an obvious fictional movie to a human being who's a fuckin Role Model to young teens.

There is a difference between watching a movie and reenacting scenes from it as opposed to being a person kids think of as a hero growing up...

Hopsin came back and proved his point invalid.."With Power comes a lot of responsibility"...I am so glad a rapper can finally see the impact they have on kids...

btw that bitch did not like hopsin at all.

LMAO @ MGK, "I have not made a bad song yet." <--- All your songs suck IMO but this cypher was ight (BTW I've only checked a small portion of his music cause I don't like him so don't hate haha)

I wish Hopsin could have been in last years XXL freshmen mag. There were a lot of dope rapper last year, mainly Kendrick and Yela and Hopsin would've fit in nice but he got in with the wackest rappers ever.

LMAO @ MGK, "I have not made a bad song yet." <--- All your songs suck IMO .

Amen brother, amen

[Epidemik]

Future seems intelligent, how come he makes shitty music?

Lol no doubt.

I really dont like Danny Brown... he has one of those faces that i just want to punch... for no reason...
he sounds like a moron too..

[Chet Starr]

My favorite Danny Brown track. Beautiful fucking struggling shit

& in a interview he addressed why he dresses crazy. He pretty much said that if your a type of reject that worries about looks instead of skills, then he doesn't need your support.

I'm not saying anyone here does that, I'm sure its just his voice.

Ya I'm sorry I didn't say all the songs I've heard. I jus haven't heard anything dope from him. A friend showed me Wild Boys and I said it's catchy but his voice sucks and his lyrics on that track are below average. Also, I checked out his new EP to give him one more time, the answer is he is still wack IMO. Any Internet rapper could do what he does with a similar or better voice, and his face and personality piss me off at times. I just don't like anything about him or his music. I like that hook he has on "Invincible" though, I think his ear for beats is his selling point. I don't understand his hype or any of the others in this group except for Hopsin. I wish him and Yelawolf had beefed, maybe Radioactive would have sold more and I could have laughed at anyone bumping his music once Yelawolf tore him a new ass hole.

[Trimss]

Lello I feel you!

Macklemore, MGK and Hopsin.

[Man1x]

The only good one here IMO is Hopsin, the rest are meh or pure shit. I do however see one bright side to this crowd, hip hop is definitely color blind now and that goes for both genders of all races. That's the only thing I saw as positive except Hopsin, to bad they picked some of the wackest rappers to represent white people in Hip Hop's mainstream. The only two white rappers I can stand that are in the mainstream are Yelawolf & Eminem but of course the underground has some dope white rappers like Diabolic, to bad he ain't mainstream.

[momentsgolden]

Well, this made me watch last year's one as well. Tjo, hip-hop is full of some STUPID as people, some people who's definition of "dedication" is "begging a manager to open for lil wayne" who compare rap to transformers, who think Twitter is a representation if the world... #FUCK!!

I ddnt like Macklemore's cypher but he definitely came out with alot of cred from the roundtable. Was on some real professional shit.

Hopsin, Macklemore, Yelawolf, Kendrick Lemar seem real intelligent and focused on their goals. I can respect that.

[CrashBand]

Iggy looked butthurt when Hopsin was talking about how being on a label doesnt mean you have fans or you are gonna make it lmao

and Danny Brown seems like a fucking idiot. there was a lot of hype in the lead up about him.. no idea why

and Macklemore seems really focused pity he's quite inconsistent with his music

[Chet Starr]

Macklemore seemed annoying, I don't know why. I want to take the bus to Seattle & hit him

Just so many other dope rappers here that should be getting the lime light (Mostly me, but many others)
