10 XXL Freshman Rappers That BLEW UP After the List:
Hey guys!
CDTVProductions here, and today we will be talking about 10 rappers who BLEW UP after appearing on the XXL Freshman list.
I decided to make this as the 2018 XXL list will be here very soon, bringing new pitches, freestyles and cyphers, and lists about XXL were amongst the first ever videos I made on this channel.
So with that being said, who do I think has blown up the hardest since the XXL freshman list from 2007-2017? Watch the video to find out!

Soulja Boy wasn't even on the list and is still the biggest XXL freshman success 😤

CDTVProductions Hi

[@nicko1738]

CDTVProductions KZbin said you posted your comment 20 hours ago for me

[@kanyewest4453]

Nick mesa me to

[@MrSmallsCO]

Um, bruh I know that you are JOKING!!!

[@CDTVProductions]

Nick mesa yeah, I upload my videos as unlisted (so you can’t see them unless you have the link) before I make them public cause I like to publish them at certain times 👌🏼

[@isaiahtheplayah4088]

Katy Perry absolutely blew up after 2001 XXL Freshman List

[@nicholasnevola4811]

Exactly

[@akagrizzly1385]

Sup Isaiah, love your vids

ISAIAH!!! OMG

[@marclam6173]

Remember in 2013 when Chief Keef was the “11th person”?

[@sosarickgrimes5301]

random_shy_guy Keef was the first person picked, but was locked up

[@domshoe5152]

Indeed

[@shreyasloni4521]

👏 *KENDRICK* 👏 *SHOULDA BEEN* 👏 *HIGHER UP* 👏 *ON THE LIST* 👏

[@williamoconnell12]

Prediction. I think Lil Xan will probably be the number one spot.

[@justincarr8178]

I remember my brother bringing me the 1st XXL when I was in hospital it had Hov on the cover.Out of all these Q is a great rapper who makes great music.

[@trippleecsofficial7240]

Hey CDTV can you do top ten underground rappers who need to blow up

[@goatsgrvyrd]

It's not that Macklemore fell off, it's that he's sort of starting to lean towards the rap/pop genre due to the artist he's collaborated with recently

[@nicko1738]

Nice vid bro

[@CDTVProductions]

Thanks man!

[@joshravens27]

I'm pretty sure you have the happiest Twitter

[@OverthinkingEnt]

No joey bada$$? No hopsin?

[@shauncameron8390]

Not mainstream enough, apparently. After all, the list is about rookie rappers that achieved mainstream success and were able to last.

[@speaks3023]

SymiNemesisTV hopsin peaked in 2012, he made I’ll mind of hopsin 5 and he hasn’t had any bigger song since( he is one of my favorite artists so I am not saying this because I don’t like him)

[@NelsonGreenwood801]

2013 is probably one of the best xxl freshman list, for sure.

[@superbaura8012]

Nice video.

[@CDTVProductions]

Thanks man!

[@Noctua8]

Schoolboy Q forces me to think of Collard Green. Love that shit

[@entity1575]

lmao the intro had me dead

[@haroldstricklin7805]

My g! Appreciate Macklemore not being on the fell off list

[@xanderdk145]

Can you make a video about the most streamed 'lil' rappers

no because itll be shit

[@3ur0maticz3ro4]

The Heist and This Unruly Mess I Made can compare with These Things Happen and When Its Dark Out tbh they are all great albums

[@qusigh]

U don't do enough macklamore videos tho

[@brxkenheartedd-1059]

There better be a Part 2 Because X Blew TF up after his XXL Freshman year

[@Krow621]

Totally never saw Kendrick coming into 1st. People need to stop J. Cole and Kendrick are complete equals, J. Cole criticism can easily be applied to Kendrick and Kendrick praise can be applied to J. Cole.

[@CDTVProductions]

I’d say Kendrick and Cole aren’t that comparable honestly, Kendrick is just on another level imo

[@conordoyle2579]

@@CDTVProductions he is. Kenny is a god

[@maherlicous9706]

I was hoping chance was going to be on it

[@rumorz3491]

No Machine Gun Kelly??😢 dude be blowing up recently

[@samwill7343]

Rumorz, I love MGK but for some reason people don't fw him that much, idk why, although he is currently famous he's still kinda underrated, his biggest newest song was "Bad Things" and honestly it got kinda over played. I wish he did get more attention

[@quinnholidy]

i low key think cdtv hates mgk never mentiones him in a postive way, not once have i heard him say anything good about mgk wich makes cdtv get less respect from me, mgk is a genuen artist and he dont get the props he derserves for it, plus his 4th abualm is sounding like fire from the insta stroyes hes been posting

[@sockthief7101]

its simple his white

[@sontraxOFFICIAL]

Rumorz for some reason mgk doesn't belong too much in the rap game, even if he started as a rapper his fanbase and his target demographic are more into the rock scene, same thing with tech9

[@RaymondStJohn-gw2rl]

Rumorz MGK doesn't get the recognition he deserves man all his albums are 🔥 especially Lace Up

[@Mario-zb8wy]

Do a "Is DDG a bad internet rapper"

[@ftlxna9795]

“Ended world hunger then ended the world with no features “

[@itz_deede]

You forgot Kap G, he made songs with Lil Uzi and Chris Brown

[@CDTVProductions]

I’d say he fell off more than anything tbh, and he had the song with Chris Brown before the list

[@mellolawliet6999]

Because i've not lived the era of 2pac and biggie, ... for me kendrick lamar is the best rapper of all time

[@Turnayoung]

Hair reveal !!!

[@imdrumusic]

Yo CDTV you should do a worst rappers in the game: JuiceWRLD... I like him and i want to hear ur opinion!!

[@yumeretta]

i would say denzel but he blew up after ta13oo instead of on xxl

[@leooooooooooo3188]

Rank Migos hit songs pls

[@dcp0923]

you gonna react to the story adidon or ye anytime soon

[@sammiejuwon]

Xo tour life also went 7x instead of 6x..

[@CDTVProductions]

According to literally every single source (including RIAA’s official website), it’s went 6x platinum

[@pankeyreal]

I thought the whole 2016 list would be on here

[@disciple366]

YOOO YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO KING ISO'S NEW ALBUM DEMENTIA THAT DROPPED TODAY

[@conke7765]

wait. DS2 IS 5 YEARS OLD?

[@traplover6357]

*2013 project* DS2?

[@iiNekoMattyii]

i was bouta say XXXTentacion but he blew up before that

[@ethanmilne7917]

X should have been on this list. After xxl he released 17 which did 80k first week and charted 2 on top 200 and ? Which went 1 on top 200, sold 130k first week and sad has gone double platinum or higher by now

[@CDTVProductions]

He did have a lot of success after it, but I feel like he’d already blew up before the list

[@ocifer]

“Gizia Cole”

[@AhmadUsufzy]

My friend thought Logic was bisexual, so I had to correct him and tell him that Logic was biracial.

[@siamesecat4449]

they say if you say the intro 3 times, soulja boi will kiss you through the phone

Kendrick is number 1. That's my prediction.

[@benlevy5585]

@@ShunTzu13 fr I love both but my top 5 fav rappers: 5) Kendrick Lamar 4) Kid Cudi 3) XXX Tentacion 2) Travis Scott 1) Denzel Curry I just prefer Travis music

[@speaks3023]

xdSwerveZz kid cudi recent albums have been pretty bad tho ( beside kids see ghosts). Man on the moon 1 and 2 are some of my favorite albums ever

[@Ibrahim-dj5hu]

@@benlevy5585 denzel curry didnt blow up after the xxl freshman. He fell of

[@addidadaddi]

Rodeo is 100% a instant classic my favorite album of all time. even my old head friends think its up there.

[@Slesaint17]

I think that Q’s success in 2013 also has to do with the fact that Kendrick dropped GKMC late 2012. Not taking away anything from Q, Oxymoron was a dope album but a lot of people knew about Q due to Kendrick.

[@justayoutuber324]

Soulja 🅱️oy didn't need XXL Also CDTV, I think we need a WRITG on Birdman/Baby

[@hilmilosnowball7740]

Travis Scott and Astroworld, it got a whole new meaning now...

Russ is the 🐐

[@adolfshitler3559]

+Tyler Phillips im not sure about russ... i like quite a lot of his music but the songs i dont enjoy i really dont enjoy, i think in person hes quite cringey but the stuff he says about drugs is accurate, he gets a lot of undeserved hate

[@deathi]

He needs to do one on IAMJAYCE

[@p.m3163]

Lou the Human is dope. And not the stereotypical rapper you’d find on the series and sadly not that popular as all the ones he made videos on in that series
