Electronic Gems I don’t see why they bitch about the beats. Other than 2011 and 2012, the beats have been modern and revelant. Most rappers bash the beats to sound edgy. Now the BET hip hop awards cyphers, those beats are basic and trash.

We been waiting for this you late af Edit: I apologize for my selfish ungratefulness. You are a hard working man and took time out of your busy schedule to give us this.
True. I love Lil Pump's lyricism, you can really *feel* the lyrics. The emotion that comes with every verse and the talent required to achieve this is incredible. Lil Pump truly is a genius. No wonder he dropped out of Harvard to save the rap game.
Is it a coincidence that you and much dank dropped a video about xxl at the same time. I don't think so. Maybe melon is actually much dank and much dank is just thatistheplan undercover. Keep questioning this madman and his actions. Edit: He mentioned much dank so we might have something rihht here.
I respect what Ski did cutting the track for X, but damn I wish he destroyed that beat. The Wi-Fi, Stefflon, and YBN one was super surprising and I enjoyed it the most.
To everyone saying Ski did this for X - He did. Yes, it was recorded before X died, but it was still an Homage to X because this is exactly what X did in his Cypher in 2017. He dropped the track and rapped unaccompanied. Ski Mask was just showing respect to his buddy and trying to do something similar I think.
Chiraq G13; It actually isn't a competition at all. Maybe you should look up the definition of a cypher. They had really great synergy and it was (in my opinion) a really fun watch/listen.
When you said 'next to my head' you nodded the other way. I think I've seen you do this more often. I might be imagining things, but if I'm right, that would be extremely unprofessional. It destroys the illusion. Love the constant stream of videos, you are on a roll!
holy shit i had almost the exact same ranking as this one XD only difference is i gave ski mask number 3 and steff number 2 cause ski's bars didn't hit as hard for me especially because of the lack of a beat and it made his verse a lot more uncomfortable to listen to after hearing J.I.D murder the beat from start to finish.

1. JID 2. Stefflon Don 3. YBN Nahmir 4. Smokepurpp 5. Ski Mask (he kinda ruined the momentum JID build up by going without the beat) 6. Lil Pump 7. Wifi 8. Blocboy
Being from the uk I'm happy that stefflon don is given the chance on the xxl freshman but I'm a bit annoyed it was her. Yes she has had a good year but I would prefer if we had somebody who represents out culture. If you came to London you would be hearing at the moment drill, afro bashment and grime. (I am a bit biased as I grew up of on grime) but I would prefer if we had a UK artist in this who made uk music. I would also have preferred if big zuu or aj Tracey was on this or even skengdo and am because I know they would represent our culture better than stefflon don would and I feel as a member of the uk scene she blew up because she's thicc and not her music.
My favorite was the Godspeed! You Black Emperor cypher with Mark Kozelek where Marky Mark just sat crossed legged crying to a 18 minute violin build up.
You released this the same time as MuchDank released their video about it and earlier you tweeted about the real video looking like a MuchDank video. Very suspicious
Listen; small critique but putting skinmask of stefflon isn't fair. She killed it, no doubt. He killed his part too, but not having a beat ruins the whole vibe of the freestyle. Also his performance ended kind of abruptly.
Nothing better than a mention from that guy who looks like Cal Chuchesta
MuchDank Must be a career breakthrough for you
MuchDank now that you bring it up, this guy does seem to be jackin cal's style
keep up the dank booiiii
Please much dankize the Drake freestyles he been doing in the UK.
You get mentioned by Cardi B yet? I heard the clout is real.
Your glasses not getting behind your ears is stressing me out asf

You gave lil pump a 7 but JID a 1? Wtf melon?

Carver Kain So you’re ok with the fact that Trippie Redd can get a 9 from melon when he didn’t even do a freestyle?
Big Quint’s Seductive Gaze dawg 1 is best 9 is worst lol
Diecast 101 wooosh
Diecast 101 Thanks for explaining that to me, nothing gets by you does it sir
Am I the only one who thinks the beats in the XXL cyphers this year were pretty good? The JID beat was incredible imo
Their performance made the beat better but if you just listen to the beat alone you can easily tell that it was wack.
Kofi Essel-Appiah the Lil pump/Purp/JB beat wasn't good though
Electronic Gems that beat was ass imo
They’ve been way better since sonny digital started doing the beats
Electronic Gems I don’t see why they bitch about the beats. Other than 2011 and 2012, the beats have been modern and revelant. Most rappers bash the beats to sound edgy. Now the BET hip hop awards cyphers, those beats are basic and trash.

Lil Pump better go back to Harvard after that freestyle cause rapping ain't his thing
xoxaine deezy I'm thinking maybe he can apply to Oxford this time show the British what real intelligence looks like
Guys like JID, Ski and YBN feel like what the XXL classes used to represent. Brand new faces to the game who have serious talent and potential.
Trippie is so dumb for this!!!
Ski Mask literally just turned the beat off!
No Excuses!!!
Zach he could’ve asked for a beat switch
Anything is better than just skipping it because he used all his bars for the freestyle...
SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD Freestyle is good but it would been better if it had a beat.
@@Africangodess4u nooo its fine
If he doesnt say Lil Pump is the best hes obviously biased....esketit
Well the cypher that included pump had the best synergy and felt very natural compared to the other ones.
let us acquire the item

Inax well just cuz shit has synergy with shit doesn't make it good

Mario Lopez he's saved the rap game

I hate to disappoint you, but...

I respect what Ski did cutting the track for X, but damn I wish he destroyed that beat. The Wi-Fi, Stefflon, and YBN one was super surprising and I enjoyed it the most.
Tha Swami The cyphers were recorded before X died.
John Turner Watch the video.
He cut the beat cause he couldn't rap on it lmao
Read the replies and delete this comment
To everyone saying Ski did this for X - He did. Yes, it was recorded before X died, but it was still an Homage to X because this is exactly what X did in his Cypher in 2017. He dropped the track and rapped unaccompanied. Ski Mask was just showing respect to his buddy and trying to do something similar I think.
thank you for recognizing J.I.D. he is on another level compared to some of these freshman
These dudes really got beat by a UK Stripper LMAOO
the most disconnected one was the ybn, wifi, stefflon. no chemistry at all but it was pretty good

Although Lil Pump and Purpp weren’t nearly as good as JID and Ski, their energy was dope asf tho

TheCosmicLad this isn’t an energy competition it was a freestyle competition don’t try to change how trash it was

I would Switch YBN nahmir with Stefflon Don but it's my opinion
wifis cypher grew on me w a few listens he had a tight flow and his movement in the vid really complimented it
You should start doing a Fantano 10
i think you're underrating it in the fact that Pump consciously was performing a Hook between the verses, they were thinking of it like a song
Being from the uk I'm happy that stefflon don is given the chance on the xxl freshman but I'm a bit annoyed it was her. Yes she has had a good year but I would prefer if we had somebody who represents out culture. If you came to London you would be hearing at the moment drill, afro bashment and grime.

2011 cypher with K. Dot and Lil B's beat was goat material. Reminds me of school

If J.I.D isn’t 1st a melon is getting smashed

imo trippie has the best cypher, you can tell the amount of effort that’s been put in his performance.
*intense shaking of blocboy jb*
fantano you trippin. i swear the purp and pump and jb cypher was the perfect cypher to me
the timing on this video is much dank.
My boi Trippie didn’t even make thumbnail
I pretty much agree on your individual rankings, but as a group the pump, purpp, and blocboy cypher was the most entertaining.
2:03, wow Fantano really is the type of guy that sneezes into his hands and wipes it on his pants
JID is just in a different realm than the rest of the freshman class this year
I wish you rated IDK's "Trippie Redd's Freestyle" along with these🔥🔥
meme potential is low? so you havent seen 0:02 then
Bust down sitting on left wrist ooh melon sitting on right wrist ooh
Maybe using a ppt instead of a word type document would be better just a thought so you could add a photo of the rappers as well as their names
You released this the same time as MuchDank released their video about it and earlier you tweeted about the real video looking like a MuchDank video. Very suspicious

Nice button up a lot more stylish than those damn flannels

Extra extra large 2018 freshman cyphers hot
Thanks for being honest about how good stefflon was a lot of ppl looked her over
love you melon
Even though I love Ski and is easily my favorite on the cover, Stefflon Don totally showed him up
Blocboy, Purrp, and Pump cypher had a hook= revolutionary
Stefflon Don really popped off, more than her freestyle. And JID holy shit he was as good as Denzel Curry in 2016, and just as memorable.
DJ Premiere need to teach XXL Freshman how to make a beat
Listen; small critique but putting skinmask of stefflon isn't fair. She killed it, no doubt. He killed his part too, but not having a beat ruins the whole vibe of the freestyle. Also his performance ended kind of abruptly.
