XXL Magazine Reveals Its 2012 Freshman Class

I had a very long debate with Mr. Write of PenStation about who I feel should make it in XXL's 2012 Freshman Class and who I think they'll select.  I was pretty dead on with who I thought would make the list except for a few artists. However, I am surprised that ScHoolboy Q, Stalley, or A$AP Rocky (he declined) didn't make the cut. Artists like Roscoe Dash should have made this list years ago, and I don't know enough about Macklemore and Hopsin to discount them.
