XXL

 

XXL featured the new class of Hip Hop emcees back in January.  They celebrated the crew with covers and articles deeming them the kids to watch for as Hip Hop’s torch grabbers.  We’re midway through ’09, and our homies at TSS handed out mid-term grades to all the artists including Mickey Factz, Asher Roth, Kid Cudi, B.o.B., and others.  You can read the full breakdown at their spot, but some highlights include C’s for Corey Gunz and Ace Hood.  I would give Ace Hood less than that, just my opinion.  Blu als recieved a C for kind of disappearing after the feature.  I know Blu’s shunned himself away in the studio, the TSS guys did not mention his recently minted record deal…B.o.B. got an A- along with Wale, while Mickey Factz got the B- despite his Honda deal.  Read the full piece here, and feel free to graders the graders.
