The Fashawn and J. Cole joint is tremendous.
wtf u talkin bout
Goddamnit looks like im gonna have to download the whole thing. Don’t like most of these dudes besides Fashawn and J. Cole.
Blu is on the J. Cole track???!?!??!?! I guess that song is worth the whole download.
*Downloads mixtape*
Am I the only one whos issue STILL aint come in the mail?
FUCK A DJ.
Nvm, I suppose you were saying J. Cole shouted out Blu.
They need to collab, ASAP.
tracks are shitty quality, CDQ with no whoo kid plz
most of these tracks are straight up throw aways
whoo kid musta hacked nigggaz recycling bins shit is fuggaga
Fashawn & Freddie Gibbs are light years ahead of the rest these other rappers.
freddie gibbs murdered everyone on this tape. dude is sick.
FML where’s that Big Sean joint #4?
J. Cole track was dope, he was pretty much talkin about most of the other people on this mixtape in the song.
I uploaded it for those that only want that one: http://usershare.net/stjjxewem6fh
Wiz and j.cole got robbed on this deal. 1 track each doesn’t do them justice. And i agree with whoever said that XV should have been thrown on this tape. I wouldn’t mind seeing JD ERA either. His Thirt3en tape was hot as hell
The Fashawn and J. Cole joint is tremendous.
wtf u talkin bout
____________________________________________
Seperately.
damn fashawn’s “i need to know” was dope as fuck. dude’s on another level compared to all the other acts. i was impressed with freddie gibbs tho. dope shit too. and that hard freestyle fashawn did. damn.
They had to have put those OJ tracks at the end on purpose. Didn’t miss hearing WHOOOOOOOOO KIIIID, but this is dope so far.
Whoo Kid said Wiz Khalifa’s name wrong lol!
here’s a link to Fashawn-Need to Know http://www.zshare.net/audio/73471626335a65fd/
WTF WHERES THE FIRST BIG SEAN JOINT?
OJ didn’t even get recognized by Whoo Kid. He Checks out after the last Donnis track.
Jay Rock-DOPE.
Nipsey-DOPE.
Fashawn-DOPE.
Wiz-DOPE.
J.cole is wack as fukk, nigga sing like Drake, and try n rap like Common
Jay Rock-DOPE..
Nipsey-DOPE.
Fashawn-DOPE.
Wiz-DOPE.
J.cole is wack as fukk, nigga sing like Drake, and try n rap like Common
@RIKO
Have you heard J.Coles last tape? The Warm Up had some hard tracks on it.
naw i havent..
UR A FUKKIN IDIOT KILL YOURSELF N RECORD IT. SEND IT TO ME U DAMN BAFOON. JCOLE DNT SING LIKE DRAKE U FUCK BOY. JROCK SUKS! NIPSEY KOO, FASHAWN DOPE, WIZ -MEDIOCRE. UR LYRICAL MEDIATION IS SAD.
i do not know what mediation means, so imm take that as a good thing!!!
can’t stand these non-mixing/just-talk-over-records dj’s… let a dude like Green Lantern or Mick Boogie mix the shit up properly…
RIKO is a idiot for judging J. Cole by his 1 track on this tape….
XXL need to replace the 2 OJ tracks with this 1:
http://usershare.net/hyw012yszyt0
My Bad Steve for the send off. I meant that his song was a shout out to Blu. They do need a colab like ASAP.
@Riko So Drake Obviously was the first rapper to sing ever and if talk about real shit, you’re Common huh? Don’t hate if you haven’t listened to more than just one song.
missing Big Sean’s “La Lee La” & J. Cole’s “Nothing on You Remix”
*fashawn not j. cole
SUMBODY NEEDS TO GET RID OF SO ICEY FAST THESE TRAP RAPPERS SUCK!
im not feeling the j.cole and big sean song i swear they were gonna be the dopest on the mixtape so far the mxtape is meh
Track 4 & Track 11 on the back cover of mixtape are not on the download . just throwin it out there
Gibbs murked that Masta Ace beat
Most of these tracks were ass. The sound quality on this didn’t even seem that good. I’m a big fan of some of these dudes like Neighborhood Nips and J. Cole but even they didn’t really come correct. Freddie Gibbs’ track was nice though
Freddie Gibbs is a BEAST!!!!
I’m done hating on J.Cole. His track got such soul. God damn! I’m anticipating greatness from him like I do from Jay Elec.
Cole’s track is a great example, like Jay Elec’s exhibit C, where the lyricism and the beat just match.
Dear DJ whoo kid, if i wanted to hear a line over again…I will bring it back myself….and stop yelling that goes to drama and don cannon as well
Yo Im Missin those tracks 2!! That Fashawn and Big Sean!
OJ really??? WTF lol
Fashawn >
first time i ever heard Fashawn but his song dope as fuk.
need a tagless version of the dope tracks… DJ Whoo Kid? seriously?
Dam! that is hatin’ – some of the tracks are missing. Shout out to the people who put up the single links
Yo this list isnt complete without XV. Im way dissapotinted cause OJ and Nipsey cant even compare to XV. sad yo
MISSING TRACKS YO WTF
Y R ALL U GUYS TALKIN ABOUT ALL THESE WEAK ASS RAPPERS..TAYLOR GANG OR KILL YOURSELF..*WIZ KHALIFA* IS THE SHITT..OKKAAYYYYY!!!
did he seriously say khalifuh
OUT OF ALL THOSE RAPPERS HES THE BEST..WHO DO U LIKE
THE MIXTAPE OS ASS!!!
So wait a minute, all of these tracks are new right? Like seriously every single one of these tracks is new? Because OJ Da Juiceman already had 6 Ringz on his second to last mixtape. Is he seriously so bad and uncreative he couldn’t give us some more material that would maybe make him acceptable for this list? God damn that guy is stupid as FUCK!
@ catch me up on jupiter, I was thinking the exact same shit this very second. Sad shit is….Wiz says his name RIGHT after Whoo Kid fucks it up. Did he even listen to the track before he yelled over the shit? lol
I MEANT TO SAY THE MIXTAPE IS ASS! OMG **********
I was expecting something like the Old Freshman Mixtape Which I still listen alot. But this one is Garbage. The Quality is really bad we got Who Kid Screa,ing on every track. Theres tracks missing.
Only songs I took were
J.Cole Who’s world is this
Fashawn I need to know
Donnis Thinkin bout you
THATS IT! I was really Hyped for the Big Sean and Wiz joints but They aint SHIT at all. And there’s a few songs missing to which makes the mixtape even worse.
smh I’m dissapointed
Big Sean is getting old quick, he’s dope, but I’m starting to think he’s got no appeal
Meanwhile every smoker I know listens to Spitta and Khalifa hard.
Of course J. Cole and Fashawn are ill but they ain’t goin anywhere either.
I’ll be shaking my head if Donnis makes it, cause I think he has the most mainstream appeal
Pill and Freddie Gibbs flow>
lol at whoo kid fucking up wiz last name, whoo kid is beat like hooker pussy
Fashawn joint goes hard
XXL should get at SHAKE for the cover next year…I’m sure Shake could make it so Freddie Gibb’s head didn’t look like an octagon.
freddie gibbs looking like a bobble head with pushed back hair line as usual
G’d up goes hard.
Gibbs about to be the one to bring back that smooth gangsta shit btw…
where is curren$Y ?
^^He was on last years cover…
gibbs about to do a hair club for men commercial for that hair line
Gibbs and Fashawn r the onyl worthwhile artists on this tape. Quit following hype and peep how strong their music is.
Wow, WHoo Kid actually like signed out for OJs part, as not to affiliate himself with his horrible horribles songs. I laughed my fucking ass off at the OJ shit. Rest was pretty dope.
Can everyone stop acting so high and mighty with the whole XXL list sucks dick talk? Do you remember last years list? Ace Hood, Cory Gunz, Mickey Factz. Do you hear any of their names buzzing? What about Blu (he’s dope don’t get me wrong) but has he blown up? Where the fuck is Asher Roth’s new music? KiD CuDi is hardly even a rapper. Curren$y has been around since Wayne was a kid.
Stop whining like little bitches, it’s like daddy just bought you a blue bicycle and you wanted a green one.
They Needed more big sean!
Does any one know where the Fashawn I need to know beat is from its killing me
@OGEazy….co-sign.
and this list is pretty dope by the way….way better than last year….i like cory gunz alot but i mean he was in last years list and he just got signed….so people need to fall back.
Fashawn got that beat from necessary evils by skyzoo
The beat is skyzoo’s necessary evils, dope beat. But I understand if some one doesnt like j. cole’s style or sound or whatever but i dont understand the hate. even his songs that are more pop like show me somethin and lights please have a good amount of depth to them. Why would you hate on a rapper/ producer with a ton of potential whose subject matter is mature and interesting especially since it seems all rappers know what to talk about is there money and there weed, fuck i could do that.
shit thanks sorry about the late post ive been listening to j. cole all day so i kinda wigged out
i want to feel OJ’s balls on my chest
Damn Gibbs went in on Born to Roll
Man.. These dudes are fucking wack. Last year had some incredible ARTISTS. This year all we have is J.Cole and Fashawn (who shined because of the dude who mast last years all star – Blu)
Quit acting like a bitch
6 rings :D!!!
shit i got my hopes up for that nothin on you remix with fash, but its not here
Taylor Gang or Hari Kiri
Wow, how can bread in the kitchen even be called a song. that shit was just straight awful. Fashawn J.cole and Wiz all day
TWO JOINTS FOR DONNIS
COO!
Anybody Have The Big Sean? Can U Upload Please
I’m excited to check this out, hopefully Whoo Kid isn’t too annoying.
Wiz Khalifa is garbaaaaaaaaaaagio… someone pass that nigga some toilet paper
Taylor gang paper planes up in flames
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9G-e5XRmtY <—– f.u.f we next fuck wit us
Where Hay-Lo at????????? Asian boy iz the hardest
Here’s the J.Cole Track for those of you just lookin for that as i was http://usershare.net/104rbavw0r07
Wiz goes the hardest on the mixtape…
is there a no DJ version ? imma wait lol
it is jokes how whoo kid pronounces “khalifa” at the beginning. butchered that.
and again, dj ruined the mixtape with tags and wack ass playbacks
Does anyone has a link to the wiz khalifa joint????
How is Wiz Khalifa a freshman? He has 7 mixtapes and 2 albums but theres no denying he makes them other rappers look like kids.
We need a NO DJ version asap…can’t listen to anything Whoo Kid is on…
man does anyone have the Wiz song on its own?
these niggas wack BRO!
DLEE — I heard of that nigga. he kinda dope thouh, no homo
Hay-Lo?!? From IN too right???
Gibbs, Fashawn, & J.Cole i respect, but they been around for the last cpl years. The same goes for the rest, but they aint even really half as good.
Gibbs and J. Cole for Prez
i understand why xv is pissed at this list now oj da juiceman over him never
good looks on the drop.
