XXL's 2011 Freshman Class
Yea: Mac Miller (personal bias), Lil B (not a fan but he's been grindin' in a way that's reminiscent of Weezy between '07-'08), CyHi Da Prince (the most underrated MC on the G.O.O.D. Music roster)
Nay: Diggy Simmons (haven't heard anything from him besides "Oh Yea!"), Lil Twist (personal bias), YG (probably would've been a better fit in last year's issue)

Music Video: Kanye West-All Of The Lights
Eh, I guess when you've been in the game for about two decades, there isn't much left to give in terms of creativity. Hype probably had a good payday nonetheless.

Let Me Put You On: Los
Los hails from B-More and is one of the few poetic rappers I can get behind. "Fall for your type" has an obvious R & B feel without being too pop. He and Corey Gunz are both on the same label but if I had to choose between the two I would be on Team Los. Though I love the song I have some serious issues with the video. First off, I hate the couch. Headrests are meant for traveling. That's just too early for me. Also the model, his assumed love interest, seemed bored as fuck in the video. You can tell she didn't go to school for acting but I like her hair so I GUESS she can stay. However, my biggest pet peeve is that Los NEVER took off the damn shades. Hon, I KNOW it's night outside and I KNOW you're indoors. Safe to say the sun ain't going to find you. All in all I love the joint, especially with the twist at the end.
Damn it's time to accept it, I'll never hear your voice again
It's so hard to say good-bye but that's what turns boys to men

Wale recently switched management/label teams (left Jay-Z's Roc Nation for Rick Ross's Maybach Music). It's a new day, he's on a new grind.

New Video: Cee-Lo Green
Cee-Lo is a genius for this one. The song doesn't even matter, it's all about the thrill of the mystery. I could see this being on Adult Swim.
Can nonchalant be obvious of course
I leaned towards her and whispered the choice is yours
Need I remind you that I'll have no remorse

New Video: Kevin Cossom
Back in October I tried to tell you to get on this dude's level but NO ONE wanted to listen. Then MTV says the something and the bandwagon is too full. I know what you're thinking; "you mad?" Just a little...
Is it wrong for me to say that in some moments when he's dancing with his sunglasses on, in doors wow, that he looks a little bit like Flo Rida? Nothing wrong with that right? Good. Regardless of who he looks like this is DEFINITELY a banger. Whenever I needed to power walk through the New England snow I would have this song on repeat and do the damn thang. Fab's verses are amazing, no surprise there. Diddy is there because...well he's Diddy.

Let Me Put You On: Tyler the Creator
Tyler the Creator leads the 11 man hip hop squad known as OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). Tyler's West coast style is gritty, unapologetic, and a tad bit creepy, yet there's nothing artificial about him or his music. He might not give you what you want in a rapper but he'll definitely supply you with what you need; the truth. "Yonkers" is off of his second album Goblin, dropping sometime in April.
Shouts to Mike for putting me on.
This ain't no V Tech shit or Columbine

Music Video: BackHandFam (Guy Harrison, Cartier Sims) - Piff & Orangemen
I had the pleasure of seeing this up-and-coming Syracuse University duo perform live at Hamilton College about a week and a half ago. After downloading their mixtape Backhand Fam soon after, I really got into their song called "Piff & Orangemen." What do you know? They decided to drop a vid for the song. Enjoy...

Happy Black History Month?: CyHi Da Prince-Ring Bellz
Just because you shout out notable figures of the Civil Rights Movement does not make you a notable individual. You are NOT Malcolm X, you are NOT Martin Luther King Jr., you are NOT Stokely Carmichael. You are just another rapper sending a contradictory message to listeners/viewers who deserve something better. Nice try, but you failed miserably.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Kendrick Lamar Ft Gucci Mane "Vanity Slave Pt 2"
Let's be honest, there was NO reason for Gucci to be on the track. Lamar could have easily carried this one on his own. Consumerism and the black experience. Is it a coincidence that it dropped the first day of Black History Month? I think not...
