I wrote the shit. So for all supporters and haters let me make something clear. So first off its not a 1-15 list in the traditional sense. the numbers are there to correspond with the artist photo since a lot of people dont know what they look like and who they are. 2nd the categories are what needs to be focused on its not just a these are the 15 rappers that are bringin the west back. Last, whether you agree with it or not just ride with a nigga and buy the magazine. Anybody worthy who was left out has got plug in the mag because of me in the past or they will in the future. So chill out and support an Oakland nigga trying to open doors for artist I think need exposure. If the numbers look good it will only influence XXL and other mags that the West matters and you will start seeing more and more artists from your soil on a major platform. Money talks.
