10 XXL Freshman Rappers That FELL OFF After the List

10 XXL Freshman Rappers That FELL OFF After the List:
Hey guys!
CDTVProductions here, and today we will be talking about 10 rappers who FELL OFF after appearing on the XXL Freshman list, and talking about WHY they fell off.
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 fallen off the hardest since the XXL freshman list from 2007-2017? Watch the video to find out!

I love these vids too funny 😂😂

[@CDTVProductions]

Haha thank you man!

[@OurFoundingLiars]

Came back to critique this list lol. Just watched a fascinating 50 minute documentary on Charles Hamilton (xxl freshman list of 09. the doc is on the red bull site) I think he had a WAY more fiery/harsher falloff then BoB, who was on the list with him...and maybe anybody on this list. Dude had so many mixtapes and talent, but the guy suffered from bipolar disorder and became self destructive as soon as he got a major record deal. Think they dropped him in a month. He also had a lot of sad circumstances happen to him at the time he was getting famous that halted him ... highly recommend the doc (and his music, been binging on his mixtapes)

[@CDTVProductions]

Damn that sounds crazy, it’s weird because I’ve rarely heard his name ever come up (but I guess that’s the fall off effect right there). Thanks for recommending that, I’ll check it out!

[@jameshill1932]

Favorite line of the whole video, "everything he's dropped since has gone triple cardboard" 😂😂😂

[@hassanchapa6529]

I Think Desiigner can make a comeback if he make a catchy hit and more solid,reconizable music so people put attention on him The fact that Kid ink fell off is the same reason why Yg hasn't Made another hit since 2014...Dj mustard beat style just died when people started to Listen Trap songs I Think Lil yacthy should be here,he hasn't Made a hit and no one talks about him...except when Everyone started to Bash him by Lil boat 2

[@Kennyjackson47]

Still Brazy dropped in 2016 and landed number six on Billboard. The YG statement is definitely false.

[@ScotMorleyBro]

That editing is on point and also it was worth using 40 seconds to say Anthony followed you because he is the melon head legend

[@agrose77]

What about Macklemore? He was on the 2012 list. He dropped hits like Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us, and other songs like White Walls got a fair amount of fame, but he didn't have as many hits as, say, Kid Ink or Fetty Wap, who were both on the list. After Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us, which were easily the biggest hits of his prime, we didn't hear much of him anymore.

[@CDTVProductions]

His last album still went to number 2 on Billboard and his song Glorious and Good Ol’ Days from last year charted pretty well. He’s still doing fine imo.

[@diarmidthomson7878]

Bro ur saying Desiigner should have capitalised on his fame quicker but then u said his mixtape he dropped during his fame sounded unfinished ????

[@CDTVProductions]

What I said was he should’ve capitalised on it quicker by dropping a full length album, but instead he dropped a mixtape that was full of snippets. If he released something that was actually complete, he’d have been able to hold people’s attention for longer.

He ruled 2015-2016 and then fell off at an alarming rate in 2017 like it happened so fast that it almost looked suspicious. Having such a huge fan base being obviously the most slept on rapper in the game at the time to just dropping hard. He did change his style alot of fans miss his YAAA BABY but he must have heard the whole versitility comments from the people and decided to change his style. He has been making very different music in terms of style the past couple years me being a die hard fan of him I miss it. But I love his new shit to.
