What people dont realize, is that in the actual magazine they break everything down into different categories. Each category has 3 artist in that certain category... For example...
Category: "Taking It Nationwide"
1. Clyde Carson
2. Bishop Lamont
3. Mistah F.A.B.
Category: "Something Different"
1. The Jacka
2. Problem
3. Crooked I
Category: "Keeping Gangsta Rap Alive"
1. Jay Rock
2. Messy Marv
3. Glasses Malone
Category: "Should Have Already Blown (Up)"
1. Keak Da Sneak
2. Suga Free
3. Turf Talk
Category: "Creating The Sounds"
1. Droop-E
2. Terrace Martin
3. Bedrock
That's how the break down goes with each article as they have it inside the actual issue of "XXL" with the artist pics to go with it. So the list isn't naming the top 15 from 1 to 15 in order, it's basically 3 artist in certain categories of the write-up... Just clearing that up for those who were unclear of the actual article, or for those who haven't had the chance to go and pick it up yet.
