Apr 27, 2016 Major artists have declined it in the past. He obviously feels he's too big for the cover.
Apr 27, 2016 but Kendrick and Schoolboy both accepted i just dont get why youd decine to be on a "best young rappers" list lol
Apr 27, 2016 Because no one cares about the XXL freshman list anymore. It's cool if you're still not that well known but Lanez should have been on the cover years ago. Putting him on now is just insulting to him. He's got an established career now.
Apr 27, 2016 most people i talk to have never heard of him before i get the list isnt relavent anymore but these things are why lanez will never be a big artist
Apr 27, 2016 He already is a bigish artist who has had several songs on the billboard and a couple of features on some big albums. You giving me anecdotal stuff about people in Australia not knowing who he is doesn't really mean much.

Apr 27, 2016 He's got a song that went #23 on billboard 100 but 'no one knows who he is". Well ok then....
Apr 27, 2016 I agree with @Flacko though...Tory has been dropping projects and grinding since like 2010 or some s--- (probably earlier, idk, I'm not a day 1)...if XXL wanted to help him, they should have picked him up then.
Apr 27, 2016 Yeah this is exactly my point. Them waiting til now to pick him is a slap in his face which is why I understand why he declined the cover.
Apr 27, 2016 he had one song that went #23 and he's meant to be a household name? lol you could have said kendrick was grinding for years before he was put on the cover, he had like 4 mixtapes and S80 out (not too sure bout s80)
