    Major artists have declined it in the past.

    He obviously feels he's too big for the cover.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)
