Idk i could be totally misled but it seems to me xxl opted for a pop rockstar vibe rather than sticking to the culture and rap scene. The most frustrating thing about xxl 2017 was their inability to do anything with the massive influx of new fans in terms of productions Sure people watched the cyphers last year, but these guys really had millions of fans chomping at the bit to see what was next And by all accounts, the production was absolute garbage. I just tweeted a few weeks ago about xxl's freshmen list being m.i.a Personally, i feel that like the source, bet, mtv, and many other media outlets i ran to in my high school years a decade ago, xxl has stumbled in the game of relevance whether it is lack of quality content or credible voice.
