Leave it to, “The Gyant,” to always kick up dust even when I don’t try to.
An impostor claiming to have “inside” information from hip-hop’s most popular hip-hop magazine’s highly coveted, “2010 Freshman Class,” list proved to be an utter lie.
Well, XXL’s Editor-in-Cheif Vanessa Satten has just sent me over the official comment regarding the erroneous email being spread to all the blogs.
Here’s what they had to say:
I’m writing from XXL to let you know the email about XXL’s 2010 Freshman Class is a fake list that did not come from our magazine.
While we are flattered about the enthusiasm and heat The Freshman Class generates, this list did not come from XXL and was most likely created and leaked by someone in hopes of boosting their career.
We are always on the lookout for the most promising artists who do, in fact, make it into XXL. The current issue of XXL (our double Dec/Jan 2010 issue with 50 Cent on the cover) is on stands now.
The lengths some artists will go to get publicity is really sad. How about you drop a hot 16 and quit with the fake correspondence #imjustsayin’
