The XXL Freshman Cover Is Out And Somehow Just Two Women Made The Cut

August 11, 2020. Leave a Comment

Rap platform XXL has announced its 2020 Freshman Class, a list that highlights 10-12 up-and-coming rappers showing potential to take their careers to the next level. In a year in which female rappers have dominated headlines and charts, it’s disappointing that XXL continues to overwhelmingly select males with a list that includes just two women, Mulatto and Chika (both of whom are very deserving!)

Additional members of the Freshman Class for 2020 are Chicago’s Polo G, Louisville’s Jack Harlow, Memphis’ NLE Choppa, St. Petersburg, Florida’s Rod Wave, Carson, California’s Baby Keem, Atlanta’s Lil Keed, Chicago’s Calboy, Montgomery, Brooklyn’s Fivio Foreign, San Francisco’s 24goldn and Bronx’s Lil Tjay.

The publication announced the list of nominees in April with a list of 36 rappers, 16 of whom were women. Female rappers who were nominated but didn’t make the cut include Queen Key, Ms Banks, Coi Leray, Cuban Doll, DaniLeigh, FloMilli, BbyMutha, Asian Doll, Abby Jasmine, Yung Baby Tate, Stunna Girl, Renni Rucci, BigKlit and Jucee Froot.

The Freshman Class cover in 2019 included three women: Rico Nasty, Tierra Whack and Megan Thee Stallion. the highest number of women selected since the list was launched in 2007. While the 2019 list provided some hope of progress, this year’s step backward feels like a slap in the face.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
