2. ^I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, BidsOut.cÓm

3. Hopsin and Stalley >>>>> the rest of the list
   but how dumb is it to have an ad with sound on every page of an article about music

4. ^ cofuckingsign every time I scroll over an ad on this site I get fucking audio that I don’t give a shit about and a huge video/graphic over the whole page. This site has annoying ass ads. But the comment section is the reason I keep coming back.

7. If people read the ab-soul article it states that Kendrick Lamar is already too established to be on the list.

8. That was really a terrible list, tho. Even before it got to V-Nasty.

9. VNasty???? really???? no Rapsody or anyone from Jamla?No Kid Daytona, No Dee-1, no Add2, no Quest, no Tiron??? Any of these rappers could replace V-Nasty who’s only known for saying the N-Word. I agree on Stalley and Danny Brown and Casey and Hopsin’s cool. But VNasty is trash

10. LOL V-Nasty… yeah right.

    Also… it’s sad that Machine Gun Kelly has one of the best chances of blowing up. :|

12. How the fuck did that V-NASTY BITCH EVEN GET DISCOVERED!!!!

    MAC said this on August 16th, 2011 at 2:09 pm

13. I think they tried to put people on the list that are on the come up and have not had the same exposure as Dom, Freddie, and Kendrick. I actually learned a few new artists through the article.

    TrackHustle said this on August 16th, 2011 at 2:12 pm

14. @Jesse: Take off Freddie Gibbs… he’s already kinda established thanks to Jeezy. Dom’s already kinda good too.

    Now, Tito Lopez should have been on this damn list…

15. stalley. 330.

16. Reading the pros and cons are hilarious..oh yeah, he can’t really make songs, but he raps in a Scarface voice…or he has tons of swag, but is a terrible rapper, but he has lots of guns and his music videos!

    I remember saying 10 years ago some white rapper would come out saying the n word just to instantly blow up. I never thought it would be a female rapper though. Shit is a straight publicity stunt and its sad people support. Rappers will do anything for attention, its just a matter of time until a white rapper comes out preaching KKK shit and talking about the benefits of slavery. Pitchfork and Complex will talk about his interesting takes and hail him as the GOAT.

    Turbo City said this on August 16th, 2011 at 2:22 pm

19. Y’no, muhfuckas talk about how old heads wish it was the 90s, but if you like V-Nasty, that bitch sounds like Too Short in the 80s. Simple ass beats and doodoo rhymes.
    Where the fuck is Kendrick Lamamr, Jon Connor, C-Plus, Phil Ade, Willie The Kid, Gilbere Forte, Sean Rose, Kid Vishis??

20. ILL ONLY BE SLAPPIN’G AB-SOUL & STALLEY
    BUT V-NASTY, WTF! THERE IS SOME STUPID BITCHES UP AT COMPLEX WHO APPARENTLY LIKE STUPID BITCHES WHO KNOW NOTHING OF HIPHOP & ITS ART FORM.

21. Complex magazine has been taken over by the illuminati.

22. vnasty? yea, it’s reasons like this that i have slowly drifted away from this genre and ventured off into and dabbled in other kinds of music. shit is ignorant entertainment for those with a low IQ, and I run into it without wanting to just for the sake of wanting to read an article these days.

    either way, the list (overall) is lacking in big time talent. cool joints here and there, but all of these are definitely not “someone to watch for” in the future.

25. Tito Lopez, Playboy Tre, Roc Marciano, Omen, and Rittz are more deserving than most of that list. Hopsin, Trouble, MGK, and Stalley are the only ones that deserve the shine, and I don’t even like Stalley or MGK.

26. Whoever that “Trouble” guy off the list is, he definitely made me ashamed of being black.

34. if you payed any attention they gave odds on the likely-hood of any given artist chances of blowing up, I believe V Nasty’s 1 in a Million odds are a pretty good indication that not even Complex likes or thinks anything of her other then someone whose desperate for attention. Know what you talking about before you go rambling on about irrelevant shit.

44. FAN KLUHB from Houston Texas should of made that list.

    FAN said this on August 16th, 2011 at 9:58 pm

45. Lol @ everyone getting their panties in a bunch because of a list.

    1. IT’S JUST AN OPINION
    2. This list is for rappers “To Watch Out For” as in people you will possibly be hearing more of. It doesn’t mean YOU PERSONALLY have to listen to them.
    3. People complaining about the names who aren’t on the list, a lot of those names have already been on MULTIPLE lists since 2010. In the interest of giving YOU VIEWERS new content outside of the interwebz “acceptable rappers to like,” they are trying to think outside of the box. Try to appreciate that you ungrateful fucks.
    -
    It’s just a list people. It’s not the end of music as you know it. The world is not going to end because V-Nasty is generating buzz, or Hopsin dissed Tyler The Creator, or they called Ab-Soul boring, or anything else that disturbs your little subjective bubble of what’s dope or not.

    Onederin said this on August 16th, 2011 at 10:40 pm

46. They missed alotta people (deShay,Dom Kennedy, Add2, etc.), but V-Nasty, who shouldn’t even be considered a rapper sits atop the list.
    WTF?

    CHE said this on August 16th, 2011 at 10:47 pm

47. That list went downhill quick after Ab-Soul & Action Bronson … Complex’s producer list (there is a link in this article to it) is even worse, all producing garbage “hits” this last year.
