People thought 21 Savage was a mumble rapper😂😂. It turned out he was british😂😂
Never forget 😂
Fax
Same thing 😜😜😜
You think one of his songs could tackle a UK drill beat?
@@cortezhanna1057 whats a little town in the north of England go to do with it
Uzi’s adlibs made 21’s verse memorable.
Fuc*ing love Uzi. He got a hell of a personality.
It’s impressive how many rappers from the 2016 XXL managed to not only stay relevant but to become icons of our generation
Desiigner's freestyle be like "Yabba dabba doo" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should make one for 2017 with X, Ugly God, and Playboi Carti. honestly, i think it’d be hella interesting
fireee idea
@@louaistamoot plzz
No need.
here’s every artists fates:
x: dead
ugly god: fell off
playboi carti: rapper turned vampire

Damn this probably is the most successful freshman class in XXL history
You are beyond slow. You do realize that Nipsey Hustle, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Freddie Gibbs and Cole were in the same XXL class right? Some of those artists have outsold the ENTIRE 2016 CLASS
@@6tiple6ix6afia Ok unc
@@6tiple6ix6afia nigga chillll 😂
@@6tiple6ix6afia commercial wise this is the most successful not who I think the best is . Get a job cornball
@@6tiple6ix6afia cole and freddie are the only ones you really talk about still.Nipsey could be bigger but sean and wiz have fallen off and where never on the same level as 21,uzi or kodak when it comes to popularity and Cole might have outsold them but they have similar amount of streams
To be honest everyone from this class still has solid rap careers specially uzi he became the goat in many aspects
Agreed
If mean the Baphomet goat then yeah
Kodak and uzi def up there with 21
Damn near evb on that cover can spit better if we talking music alone and not popularity
And Denzel Curry
not kodak for sure he is not mainstream
@@scullyankai agree that Kodak been fuxking up but he has talent like crazy he been doing it since he was 8 years old, he’s THE project baby
@@scullyanka how In tf
Denzel is the best and it isn't even close
Denzel's cool. But Paak is WAY too versatile. The one true musician out of that class, he runs laps around everybody else here.
@@kmax1223ik there’s no way you just said Paak is better than Zel
@challah4311 I didnt stutter fam. Denzel is only a better rapper, which doesn't say much because Paak is more a singer/instrumentalist than he's a rapper. Zel has one lane he stays in which he's very good at but Paak is more versatile, has more range, has a better catalog and makes the best music. The dude is a musician in the purest sense. Check out both their discographies, NxWorries included.
@@kmax1223that’s a respectable take but I feel like most would disagree.
@SideA628 I'd lie if I said I wasn't a little biased towards Paak. But I've extensively listened to both their bodies of work, and while their styles are very different, I do feel Paak puts out more quality in what he does than Denzel. The versatility is a huge difference maker for me. Paak will give you hip-hop, funk, soul, alternative pop all at high quality. Denzel might be the better rapper but Paak clears the entire freshman class as an artist. I know Denzel's fanbase will fight this take with all they got but I'm willing to die on that hill bro
I love pat cc and louasta
They definitely need to do a collaboration video

I'm not listening to Lil Dicky and have never chose to put him on myself but I have heard some of his songs and his freestyles and I can't deny that he's definitely nice af with it and super creative.
He is beyond cringe so it's irrelevant

@@6tiple6ix6afia bro got the worst name and no pfp talking bout cringe lmfao
@@6tiple6ix6afiau can't be talking lol bro
good vid, i think in the uzi part you should have covered him beyond his failures. uzi went on to be the highest streaming and most successful artist of anyone in the cipher so it would have been good to highlight that for context
WHEN LOUAISTA UPLOADS, I WATCH 🗣️🗣️🙏🔥🔥
1 minute no views. bro fell off

Honestly i discovered rap with 21 Savage , kodak black and Denzel. I am more than happy that 21 got the respect he always deserved in my opinion, that denzel is viewed as an outstanding rapper and that kodak is getting forgotten
Agreed
If you heard 2012 - 2016 Kodak you can’t forget him, I agree that nigga fucking up now but just with his old songs alone he’s always gon be my fav rapper
Denzel the best one there, in terms of music he is the best
100%
Banger
Dave East is doing great, built a solid foundation
Top Tier Narration, research and editing 👑
Hands down the most iconic class in XXL history
And many of em are still relevant to this day 😂
I saw 21 and uzi in July 2016 and I never would’ve thought would savage make it this far 😂
Thats crazy savage been hard 🤣
@@shhsjshajdjdkd4616 I loved him then and I love him now. But if you would’ve see how he acted and his general demeanor, you would not have much confidence of him making it either. Lol He has to have some dope people around him that got him on the right track
@@VeryHornyToadthat picture is highly disrespectful, change it🤡
@@BernardTies nope. Gotta represent the black community 😊😜
Kodak the best one out of that class no debate
On god dat boy got unlimited sleeper hits but niggas wanna talk shit cuz he not an industry type nigga he had it on lock since 2012
Really good video! You put a lot of effort in to this nice :D
uzi is my fav on this list by far. mad respect for all the others tho
bro forgot to mention that 21 was the first British rapper to get caught blatantly scamming live on stream 💀
Definitely enjoying these videos man. Keep em coming
But I thought American Dream is his 4th album. Isn't Savage Mode 2 his 3rd?
I will say tho... Out of all of the Pound Cake remixes, Lil Dicky had the best one
Dave East still releases great Music. He was never made for mainstream success.
No one from this class, except denzel and Anderson.Paak, made an album that could compete against Hoffa.
paak really went from worst freestyle to forming a band w Bruno f*cking Mars
Anderson Pak is obviously a superior artist and musician to the average xxl rapper.. he didnt even need it tbh and his audience aint the same as kodak and designer for example
21 Savage Uzi and Yachty was just at Coachella this past weekend
Iss amazing how 21 has evolved in the past years, who'd have thought he'd make it this far
The way you said Penith is hilarious
Dave East musically is cold blooded 🔥🔥
If u go against the lgbt they gonna cut u off or u gonna lose out on opportunities 100%
Louaista with the heat
I have been fucking with Denzel since the Raider Klan days, I really loved his shit then and still do. The best rapper from this class
Don’t care at all pink tape and EA was perfection in the form of music and uzi sayin he done with music he’s been saying that for years
and Uzi is the only rapper who has over 30M monthly listeners, without a single Drake, Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole or Jay Z, thats pretty wild if you ask me, he's never featured on a huge album, except Pink Friday 2, Goodbye and Good Riddance and Culture, so yeah, that explains why 21 Savage is bigger than Uzi now
Endless Fashion and his sad cover of Chop Suey aren't good at all so don't blow smoke up anyone's ass about Pink Tape being perfection. But if it is to you then hell yeah.
@@turboshazed7370 endless fashion was fire and cs was great
The 2016 XXL was the most polarizing and yet the most important because it shifted hip hop.
I was just thinking about this this morning
21 Savage & Kodak Black in my opinion are part of the XXL Big 3.
Denzel has really been slept on all these years. He even has a mentor like relationship with Andre 3K, so you know he has access to some of the most talented parts of hip hop. I think his biggest strength is his ability to adapt. While he may put his soul into all of his works, it feels like each album is different, and hit in a different way. Which brings us back to the Andre 3K advice, who told him to never get bored of making his music.
Great video as always! Amazing editing and well researched
Dave east chillin
Ain't no way G herbo name Herbert wright the 3rd💀😭
Ain’t no way this how you finding out 😂😂
This gonna hit a million views
Flopping so far
@louaista 😂 what makes it a flop? Great vids need to cook, no?
You lot need to like the video so YT recommends it to others.
@@louaista don’t even doubt yourself my g you gonna see it soon

Man, Kodak been sober lately, include that! Wtf.
Every time I see your channel I say Louisiana
No cap they needa come together n make a track
Nah savage hard he had da streets on lock 💯💯
A PatrickCc and Louaista collab would be wild
4:43
kodak : that's cap😂
😂😂
Do 2017 next
"pup pano" bro said Pompano way wrong lol. Great video though nonetheless
My 1st comment in this channel
Bro you should make a video about the XXL Freshmen 2020 I'd really appreciate the response
Banger video
The blinking from the animated versions of the rappers/people drawn is a little uncanny imo, but besides that, nice vid as always 👍👍👍👍
Great video man although the new art style where you make the artists blink is a bit creepy tho and caught me off guard
hahaha i thought it was dope
@@louaistait is
21 just entered top 100 most influential people in the world as i m watching this apparently, crazy
Now G Herbo dances on IG and has that dog biting his ankle all the time...
Best class ever
Damn Anderson Paak is silk sonic with bruno mars😳😳😳💀💀
LOve this guy, his the best story teller
Denzel, Kodak, and Uzi the top three
21 savage is the definition of MR FEAT
5000!!! 5000!!!
“Penith” not penrith. W vid tho😂
Was looking for this
Denzel poppin off rn tho
21❤
Me just waiting for season 4 and Denzel’s next thing
Louaista please cover why Drake is being dissed by so many rappers in the industry right now! Would be so interesting to watch
8:42 penrith 💀
Nah cause Dickey’s latest stuff lowkey hits, that one with the clown music video goes dummy
Is anyone else creeped out by the blinking faces? Otherwise, great video, as always!
🐐🐐🐐
I still feel some type of way about them not putting pouya on the xxl
21 best in class
Denzel the best xxl freshman ngl
painting pictures is NOT Kodaks debut album lmao... it was Institution
That’s a mix tape
denzel is definitely the best on the 2016 xxl freshmen. TA13OO and Melt My Eyez, See Your Future are both way better than any albums by the rest of the freshmen class. He might be less popular than the rest of them, but he definitely raps better and addresses much more meaningful topics in his music.
love the video but it’s not pronounced pom-pon-o beach, it’s pompANo beach😭 2:49
uzi’s “yeah” is so iconic
No-one can bet liluzivert
Either way how you doing now. You already won being on xxl 16
"My Nigga, Chilllllll" 😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair, for the Lil Nas comment, he was kind of ahead of the curve. It's like Lil Nas while having banger after banger had to not only up the shock factor but got diminishing returns, he basically did the same thing Doja did where they got famous for one thing and they ran that into the ground until they were virtually irrelevant, though I will say when Nas isn't relying on shock factor he makes some bangers like his song for the "league of legends" world championships.
Pump-pon-o 😂
I said it at the time and I’ll continue saying it. If Denzel Curry was with Herbo and East instead it would’ve been better for his career! Savage is my personal favorite from the class with Uzi right behind him.
Penrith crazy
21 Savage made it to the TIME’s Most Influential List btw
Remove the blinking pictures dawg😏
denzel the most underrated
Uzi running from the fame to me means he’s exhausted of everything maybes with situations behind closed doors and outside spectators Solid video my guy !
Uzi definitely wants to retire because of how controlling his label is. U can kind of tell he’s exhausted. After LIR3 drops he’s done with music
Kodak is almost 100% clean and sober now
Hopefully he'll be back 😢

Dicky had the best cypher and probably the best rapper of all them, lyrically
2016 2016 2016 2016 2016 2016🎉
Kodak is the most talented amongst them. Or maybe Lil Dicky but it’s a shame Kodak not a 100% mentally
Nigga the absolute goat
21 went from average mumble rapper, to king of rappers from England.
uzi, yachty and denzel are top 3 from the 2016 XXL freshmen
Since when was ISSA 21 savage’s debut album? 😂
