Music news XXL's July cover fronted by A-Town's finest?

Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 8:51 PM

Here it is — XXL's Hood to Hood issue. And Atlanta's at the forefront.

But they got the headline wrong. Should've named it after that classic MC Eiht song, "The Hood Took Me Under."

So should we be happy that the Northern hip-hop media elite have finally embraced Southern swag? Or are they mere co-conspirators out to capitalize on the dumbing down of rap?

Disclaimer: Gucci's Mane's latest CD, Murder Was the Case, and Soulja Boy's "Turn My Swag On" are both currently in heavy rotation in my Buick Regal.
