^^^^^^^^^^^
COSIGNNNNNN
THIS YEARS XXL LIST………..DEAD (In my Fab Voice)
im really not amped up for this years not even subpar list
AIN’T NO WAY AROUND IT!
danny brown is the only one worth in this shit!
ain’t no future…
Danny Brown and Hopsin >> everyone else.. Danny Brown had me rollin cause they put him right after Future’s wack ass.
Hopsin is the shit!
“have my little homie do you on camera.” – future
Hopsin > the rest
hopsin and DB>>>>> MGK definitely went over it for me…and future…………smdh
danny brown is infinitely better than anyone else on this list
danny brown> wtf is rosco dash doing on here foreal?
anyone else hear roscoe dash kill it? damn haha
all these niggas wack groove.straight up like dat.
danny brown beasted out. fuck all those other dudes.
Ass
danny brown ate anyone know the name of the beat future was horrriiiiiiiibbbbbblllleee is dat even rap just him mumbling with a his drank
roscoe dash actually kilt dis
Why do all of them sound like Eminem knock-offs?
Where is the SUBSTANCE in the music? WTF are they TALKING ABOUT? Nothing. Oh.
im so glad dj whoo kid tried to mess up the beat when future was rapping…this is signs of progress in hip hop/when the dj can’t take u seriously
hopsin deserves credit, hes dope.. him and DB.. even MGK can spit from time to time. there like the only 3 good rappers on the whole entire list though hahaha.. and macklemore
Fuck these niggas Odd Future Tape Vol.2 IN STORES & ITUNES NOW!!!!!!!!!
“Nigga ur a liar,Nigga don’t believe me, kiss your lady. and boy you gonna get them heebies jeebies. Nigga my dick stay way diseasey. I Make it look easy.5150 im am off the heezy.YOU AINT GOT NO FUCKIN YEEZY?”
i fuck wit danny brown and hopsin but MGK went the hardest and i dont even fuck wit him
1. Danny Brown, 2. Hopsin, 3. MGK, 4. Roscoe Dash, 5. NoFuture.
But seriously, none of them was super good. Roscoe Dash´s delivery was super boring, NoFuture´s whole freestyle was trash. MGK said nothing worth anything. Hopsin acts way too hard. Danny Brown´s freestyle was cool but nothing spectacular.
Danny Brown.
Danny Brown’s the only talent here.
The rest are dead set garbage.
Detroit Rappers are straight killing it!!! Danny Brown, Eminem, Royce da 59, Black Milk, J Dilla, Elzhi >>>>>>>>>>>
Hopsin >>>>>>>
Hopsin and Danny Brown are probably the only ones worthy on that cover. But I’ve heard both of them coming way harder on the mic than this ..
Never really listened to any of these dudes. Hopsin’s verse was cool. Dash wasn’t bad. MGK was cool. All I can think of when Future was rapping is “is this guy a retard?” I guess Danny Brown goes for the weird vibe but he was okay I guess. Definitely gonna check out Hopsin and DB.
I want y’all to think about this long and hard (Pause, if you play those kind of games), but which one of these individuals do you really see doing the “super-mogul” thing in 15 years? Which one of these guys, if any, can you envision replacing the likes of Jay-Z, Diddy, Russell Simmons, The RZA ect. ect.?
Danny Brown’s was good, but really, I could go after Future and probably get a deal based on the fact that I’d be a million times better than him
Yup, Danny saved this…sadly these will only get worse from here. Seriously this’ the worst lineup ever for this. And I always have low expectations for this list.
Danny brown aint save shit, hopsin KILLED this shit and i dont even fuck wit his music. Danny brown was good buit that shit was AVERAGE plain and simple, stop overhyping shit like he did some over the head shit.
Hopsin was by far the best, mgk was pretty good, danny brown and roscoe dash were ok, and future had one off the worst verses I’ve ever heard
how are any of you guys going to hate on hopsins verse? like seriously dude looked like the GOAT among those fucking horrible verses. and danny brown…. i just can’t take that dude seriously, that shit was horrid.
Hopsin, Danny Brown, Roscoe…. Mgk…. Future. That’s the order.
Danny Brown had to go last because none of these clowns could rap after him. D BROWN MURDERED IT!!!!!
maan jon connor would have murdered all of these “rappers”
is it just me or are these verses on the same level as lil bs verse on last years cypher?
cosign my man wsdm, connor would have made all these dudes look straight pathetic but they kinda already did that themselves here.
I like the way Danny delivered, and Hopsin could’ve switched up his flow a little bit more instead of not giving a fuck. Regardless I say it was Danny and Hopsin overall. I think they didn’t try as hard because there wasn’t any worthy competition. If Mackelmore was there I think they would’ve stepped their game up a tad bit more, but I don’t blame them for what they did. To many whack niggas…
Future sounds like Birdman.
Hate to say it but Roscoe Dash had the best verse. If this is the future of hip hop I dont wanna grow up.
MGK, Hopsin, Danny Brown, and Macklemore are the ONLY good rappers on this list. Just sayin’!
anyone know who is hopsin’s stylist? the way they light up my man’s eyebrows is fantastic!
Ok obviously Danny and Hopsin had the best verses, but Roscoe really surprised me with his verse.
Future…holy…fuck I don’t even know where to begin.
Put him in a rap cypher with Birdman and 2 Chainz to find out who the worst rapper alive is.
danny brown looks like shit just to embarrass everyone else even more when he kills it. dayum. style like no one.
U know the XXL has no credibility when WACK DJ WHO is on the turntables
Meanwhile at the Angry Troll Headquarters – F.O.Cs news department ( fags on computers )
Knock knock
Bill O Trolly – Who is it
Homotroll – Its me, I have some more bad news
Bill O trolly – Come in, in just reading up on the latest post by mcfly. You gotta give it to him though, the mans got skills.
Homotroll – I’ve been trolling for weeks and this guy marty is just unstoppable, ive tried everything from trolling for days and hours to now im using Marty Mcfaggot to troll being that im really a fruitcake and all. I dont know what else to do and now its become personal because marty has been owning me everyday since I started.
Door swings open – In comes the realest:
realest – Any word on how Pauly D is doing?
Homotroll – he wont stop crying sir HE WONT STOP CRYING!!!
Bill O Trolly – we’ve tried everything here at FOCs but marty just cant be stopped. He took out Teabagathon then Pauly D, then Emmet Doc and now Homotroll is also being destroyed on a daily basis. What are all the trolls out there gonna think after marty owns us all? I dont know, I just dont know.
Homotroll goes into a rage crying and punching walls before he gets back to patrolling c sections and staning the fly one.
meanwhile somewhere far away where the kush is plentiful and bad bitches roam freely and real hip hop heads discuss the arts with intelligent debates, our hero marty is still doing his thing, here on the holy hip hop grounds of 2DBZ.
marty mcfly – Praise me you trolls cause I OWN YOU!!! LOL HA HA HA HA HA HA….
@Blake
I agree, why would anyone let Dj whoo kid dj there cypher….at least he got paid i guess
^ from one troll to another just give it up man.
@2dopeboyz troll
NEVERRRRRR
how about you all just give it up, 2dopboyz troll, KING, marty mfcfly, marty mcfaggot, etc
get out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’d rather have someone shit on my ears then hear future ” rap ” again
WTFFFF IS UP WITH DANNY BROWNS HAIR THO SERIOUSLY
How the fuck did Roscoe Dash outshine the rest of these niggas? The whole time I thought he was going to do a hook for a cipher. If Dash freestyle was better than the rest of you cats, yall seriously need to step your game up
How the fuck is everyone cosigning Danny Brown? Am I the only one that sees nothing but gimmicks in this dude’s entire existence? I don’t find him lyrical, and his voice is extremely annoying.. I don’t mean to be a heathen and shit, but I watched it and expected a bunch of DB hating.. and it’s all love? THE HYBRID was horrible. Raps are subpar, voice is terrible, and his beat selecttion.. CANIBUS has a better beat selection yo.
They all wack tho. Hopsin is the only one that I feel is really AN MC.. But all that gimmicks and shit are just a huge turn off
Roscoe > Hopsin > Danny > MGK > Elephant Shit > Future
No.. seriously..EXPLAIN HOW THE FUCK FUTURE IS A FRESHMAN.

OJ the juicemans freestyle from the xxl list a couple years back>> Futures freestyle from this year.
MGK might not be liked here but his flow was good and he was overall head and shoulders above these other rapper except for Danny Brown. And Danny Brown did what Danny Brown does
Danny Brown still makes better music than all these dudes weather his verse was the best or not…. Hopsin is a straight homo.. he sounds like an Eminem wannabe in that “psycho” joint by Tech N9ne… he also thinks he’s Rey Mysterio with his Contacts…
Consider myself a big Hopsin fan but Danny Brown Shredded that Cypher
hopsin is sick…roscoe dash shouldnt be on the list but he actually spit pretty hot
What the fuck is a Hopsin?
This nigga said Rey mysterio.
Hospin raps like hes on some old Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers type shit lyrically he’s the only one that killed the cypher, Danny Brown ran with Stat Quo’s (yall remember him?) old style.
Hopsin and Danny Brown killed it, Roscoe was good too, I would of liked MGK if he were to stop at his name but he had to go a bit longer? Future was unprepared? lmfao cause that shit was hot garbage. These dudes seem like they don’t like each other, if you go and watch the cyphers from last years list, they all seemed to have mutual respect
Hopsin is the only one worth watching in this.
All ya’ll praising Danny Brown like he god. Dude raps like Nicki Minaj.
Can’t you guys put your bias away for a little and just judge their raps for what they were?
Hopsin was a little bit shaky, but overall, dope.
Roscoe started off dope and finished mediocre.
MGK needed to stop at the break…was dope until then.
Future was straight ass…If your bars suck don’t pretend it’s a freestyle, if you can’t freestyle, don’t try it on such a big cipher.
DB was pretty good. Nothing overly dope, but it was pretty good.
be objective here ppl. danny brown is good, but his verse on this was whack. hopsin was good but MGK had the best verse! im not even a fan…
who da fuck is that faggot lookin katt williams nigga in the end lmaooooo and why is he rapping like that… only niggas that caught my attention was hopsin and roscoe dash (wait wtf roscoe dash killed that shit?)
The only schitty one was Future. erebody else did they thing. I guess yall just dont like who yall dont like regardless of show of skill.
DANNY BROWN RAPS LIKE NICKI MINAJ THAT’S ABSURD HIS WORDPLAY AND DELIVERY IS INSANE STOP HATIN AND LISTEN TO THAT XXX MIXTAPE BEFORE
YOU JUDGE HIS SKILLS
Hopsin is the only one worth watching in this.
All ya’ll praising Danny Brown like he god. Dude raps like Nicki Minaj.
who cares said this on March 22nd, 2012 at 2:13 pm
?????????????? you 8 years old?
^^^
The real Boi1da is in Miami and handling business….whoever this homotroll is, give it a rest dude.
wow, future just went eli porter on that cypher
Future is beyond terrible smh
Danny Brown and Hopsin were pretty good
machine gun kelly wasnt bad in this cypher
