XXL 2011 Freshman Midterms. how do you view their half year?

[rocyaice]

Some of those dudes have gone backwards. Only cats that have increased their buzz IMO are:

KRIT
Meek Millz
Mac Miller
Kendrick Lamar

Yelawolf just got the Shady co-sign and just dropped Daddy's Lambo video. Old song but might get some rotation. All he can do is go up from here.
Still waiting to be impressed by Cyhi but dude has gotten on some legit bangers as well as legit talent tracks.

Diggy and Lil' B at the time probably were the most anticipated acts with the most buzz on that list. They've gone down to the bottom.

Diggy - More material, more visuals. 

Kendrick Lamar - Drop that tape already shun 

Meek Mill - #yellraps the only one to hit sound scan tho 

 tupac back is a legit summer banger

yelewolf  - fading slowly on a major label. But i think he in the stu under the shady/aftermath act 

Big Krit - mixtape/album of the year contender 

chyi the prince - he keep getting album credits on major artist albums, i dont get it. school me? 

fred da godson - he from ny. 

mac miller - school me? or 

lil twist- 

lil twist - He has a hit with love affair with wayne. Surprised that when I went back to his catalog that he has a few tracks where he shows some potential. Not nearly as bad as I thought he would be.
Mac Miller - Haven't heard much after Best Day Ever but I'm sure the homie is touring and getting the name out that way. Donald Trump is on the rise

Fred The GodSon- ....

chyi the prince - He's better than I thought as well and his name is getting out more as well. 

Diggy - He's on the accent. His album is due soon and from the stuff I heard from him combined with his appeal, he's good money

Big Krit - Nothing more to say here other than

 

Yelawolf - Havent heard from him at all since the cover

Meek Mill - His name rings more bells by the day. He's definitely on the come up no doubt. 

K Dot -  

 Section80

Lil B - Imo is loosing steam fast as hell. OF kind of took his gig

YG - Maybe its an LA thing, but YG is a hitmaker man. He pumps out legitimate hits and out here, his music is regularly heard all over the radios, parties, clubs, etc. The streets mess with him HEAVY. Him and Mustard really are a potent duo.

Yea I know. Someone failed if that's not a hit on pop radio. Perfect song to introduce him to the world with. In comparison Krit's Country #$! already has 400k views in just 2 days on thet net while I believe Daddy's Lambo which came out a day prior had like 37k views. Should increase though. Not sure if that's just a GREAT look for Krit or people just slowly catching on to Daddy's Lambo.

[jd161616]

Buzzing: Mac, Yela, Meek Mill, B

Potential: Diggy, CyHi

Irrelevant: Fred da Godson, YG, Lil Twist

I'm not 100% sure how to judge Kendrick and KRIT. Obviously the best talents, but those talents won't give them exposure outside of the hip hop audience, I think. I saw Mac Miller this past Saturday and he has a rabid fan base already. It took wiz five years of steady mixtapes and buzz before he dropped a mainstream album, so we'll see. I feel like Yelawolf has the unique talent to bring him to another level, but his team seems to be making a slow push. I am genuinely interested in hearing what he brings to the table in the near future.

Meek's eating off the Maybach Music exposure right now, but I don't see it translating to a full fledged solo release. B is B, doing his thing in his own world. I don't like CyHi, but he seems to be the new GLC of the group...just popping up on records but not really doing anything significant. Diggy could make noise at some point.
