You guys don’t get sick of every single year “bragging” you never heard of anyone on this list?

This the same place that pretends to fall for camel Jokes twice a week

“you ain’t get me this time”

“you got me”

“i expected a…”

[Human Torch]

Good to see nino on there. I know he got a buzz and he from PG.

But every song I heard from him is mid. That free car flow just ain’t for my old ass.

Ray Vaughn is by far the best person on the list.

And I watched a Tubi movie with that ytb fatt boul. Didn’t realize he was a real rapper

 

[Crumple]

Bootlegkev called out a page for not being in tune for not knowing these artists.

I respect that he knows what's current.

I tend to "keep my ears to the street" off The Coli.

I haven't heard any of these except for Ray and Gelo.

I haven't seen any of those names posted here.

It's scary cause these creeped up and I feel out of touch.

But this XXL list alot of times the emcees don't pan out to be goats.

I'm grateful they make this list. But Does it mean anything? What metrics do they use?

[HollywoodP]

at least it seems like they are on time with the choices. As opposed to choosing people who been around for 5 years and multiple albums.
