There has been some controversy surrounding the latest MTV list of “Hottest MCs in the Game.” A$AP Rocky is not pleased with the list and says he should be ranked at the top. The list had him at number eight but he firmly believes he should be at number one and he hit up the LA Leakers to explain his take on the matter.
“All my videos are shitting on any Hip Hop video out there. Let’s be honest. The reason why everybody is wearing gold again is because of your boy. Everybody’s wearing diamonds. I’m the one who made the John Lennon shades with the glasses—everybody wearing it now, you see what’s going on now. Come on, who brought gold teeth back? Let’s be honest…Honestly, I brought it back in a dramatic way. I made braids hot. Let’s get off trends.”
“I’m the first artist who grew enough balls to say, ‘I listen to Geto Boys, Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, N.W.A. and Wu-Tang at the same damn time, and what?’ And I’m influenced by all of them…But moving aside from the fact that I broke boundaries with not only that, but what other rapper is on the cover of Vogue?”
“Forget trends, let’s get off trends. Lets get back to the music. Who brought double time back? Who was rapping like Bone? Nobody. Who brought that flow out? I don’t even use it no more. Everybody using this. Everybody rapping like that now.
“It’s frustrating when I’m number eight. Don’t put me at all. I need to be number one.”
He also acknowledged that his father died and that he has not had time to mourn his death because of his work schedule. Rocky isn’t the only one upset with the list. Kanye West also had some words about it.

demigodz – killmatic
witless a$$wipe sucking white cock does not make one “hot.”
play any a$$wipe next to the latest Ghostface part 1 & 2 single that just went up here and try not to die laughing at this arrogant/ignorant fool.
I approve of this message.
he had to get drake, 2chainz and kendrick on your only big single! 3 artists who are all hotter than him! fuck even wiz khalifa is hotter than him but i doubt he makes the list
Them HARLEM niccas SNIFFING ALOT OF YAY LATELY LOL STOP WHINING LIL NICCA U OK..
Young, dumb, and delusional.
GARBAGE!!!
None of the reasons he mentioned has anything to do with skill and lyrics. lol clothes and rapping like bone? man, sit yo ass down
The whole basis of his argument is trendy shit and then he’s saying “let’s get off trends.” This is retarded.
hahaha nice try, your mixtape was dope, but you did not make purple swag popular or brought gold teeth back, you stole that shit from houston and try to call it your own. The south brought gold teeth back, not you and marcus manchild murked you on his purple swag remix
“Im the first artist who grew enough balls to say, ‘I listen to Geto Boys, Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, N.W.A. and Wu-Tang at the same damn time”
No you weren’t nigga. Nothing you did was original. Even Kanye was wearing dresses before you.
He gives himself too much credit
nigga should change his name to ASAP Copy since everything hes doing he stole from someone else or a different time
setting a bunch of bullshit materialistic trends dont make you the hottest MC, nothing he mentioned was even about his rapping, no one cares about your braids or gold teeth
The only thing to do with rapping he mentions is double time.
” Lets get back to the music. Who brought double time back? Who was rapping like Bone? Nobody. Who brought that flow out?”
How about Z-ro, Freddie Gibbs? But I spose Asap Rocky was out first right?
is he really whining about not being about to mourn his dead father because of his work schedule? BITCH NIGGA, no one forcing you to do anything.
Then keep believing, nigga. You remind me of Martin Luther King.
He gotta be joking right!? Y’all should checkout http://www.thegrandreport.com too, they usually have good reads as well
you really gonna use the name kendrick? fuck off no one is going to your site,
This niggga is on a spaceship! I hope they blackball him out the game real fast. This nigga really thinks he is #1???????? I cant name 3 songs from dude that are hits and he is right, he is a grown man wearing braids and gold teeth,I’m still tryin to figure out why tho. Grow up nigga that shit is wack! Be happy you made the list. I guess everybody is in their own world these days when they get a little attention
I agree, he should be higher.
he should be in the top 5 but yelawolf is my top mc right now everything he has been droppin has been mad dope that trunk muzik returns is gonna be the mixtape of the year hands down!
Yo this kid is mad riding his own dick… FOH
anyone who argues this list is about lyrics or flow is wrong, its popularity, so i guess rocky got a point
Binary Star
…google it
these artists are getting their panties all in a twist for this dumb list…I mean the shit has future on it….why waste your time responding to this…
Is Harlem the capital of coonery??? I mean just look at the people who came from there:
ASAP Mob
Dipset
Damon Dash
Puffy
Mase
Kelis
Keith Sweat
Immortal Technique
immortal technique is a coon? really??????
lol you’re right I should’ve put him on the list of spics
HAHA. LOOKS LIKE ALL THE CROSSDRESSERS AND SKIRT WEARING HALF-FAG NIGGAS ARE BITCHING ABOUT BEING HIGHER ON THE LIST. SUCH FEMALE ANTICS. ANYWAY, WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT MTV OR THEIR LIST? “YOU COMMENTED ON IT” YES, I KNOW, BUT NONE OF THEM NIGGAS GOT SHIT AS GOOD AS MIC TYSON, WU BLOCK OR CZARFACE. ALL THEY MAKE IS THAT TRANSSEXUAL MAINSTREAM BULLSHIT. ALL THE REAL NIGGAS THRIVE IN THE UNDERGROUND.
ay niqquh what da fukk niqquh my azz wuz sposed ta b numba wunn awn dis muhfukkin list nahmsayin aye trap trap trap
ASAP your flow was stole from the midwest, your sound was stole from the south, GOLD??? you can’t be serious. You wear dresses. you are not inspiring at all. you a walking remix of everybody else style if anything…AND THANK DRAKE FOR GIVING YOU A FAN BASE
Walking remix…if that ain’t the real…
Somebody had to have smacked thee fck outta Asap recently cause he is not the hottest
so if you make somebody WEAR some type of clothes your the hottest mc , FUCK THIS GENERATION , back then HOT meant you had talent and not just a buzz , fuck this shit
Real shit…..
word…even kanye said they should go bar for bar
but kanye also said wayne was the best and going by bars that shit is ridiculous
Both Kanye and AssAp caught feelings like st8 Up GIRLS. Usually them flamboyant faggotz act like that so this is just another sign.
Why would you care about a MTV Top 10 when you have Millions? Let’s not forget that MTV Germany exists, MTV U.K, MTV France etc, and they are all different. St8 up catching feelings like girls
They don’t care about them in Europe that’s why they are trippin over here
I like how an MTV rankin got these niggas tight.
HAHAHAHA
i guess all rappers need now is to get a good producer and sell 20-50,000 copies and they the hottest mc out… but for how long? he digging his own hole
Go back to being a male model
lol ASAP stfu. that list is made of some of the wackest rappers in the game. the fact that your even on it is not something to be proud of
Pusha been rockin’ braids #fact…all that other shit don’t help the #fact that ya flow is horrible…ya got served on every song you got collabs with #fact (i.e. Fuckin’ Problems…you shouldn’t even be on the song) and honestly you don’t really kill none of your own solo tracks…#FOH…and you look like a dyke #fact…
asap is nice but no way near the best in the game. One of the best at the moment, but not THE best.. Not that it takes much to be the best today
Lol @ this nigga!” The reason why everybody is wearing gold again is because of your boy. Everybodys wearing diamonds”. This nigga need to kill hisself ASAP lol!!!!
“I’m copying gold teeth”
“I’m copying braids”
“I’m copying Bone Thugs”
“No one else is copying what I’m copying so I’m original and should be the #1 MC in the world…I be that pretty muthafucka”
LOOOL word
So happy to hear im not the only one that heard what you heard.
hahaha. Word!
TRUE MC’s originate.
Back in the day, copying was considered biting.
Biting has always been wack as fuck.
Fuck A$AP Rocky…. Dude even copied his name from Aesop Rock.
Fuck this turkey. I don’t understand the appeal.
Ok fair enough he copied his style from other people but not his name.. A$AP is his crews name and Rocky is after Rakim. He is nothing like Rock at all and if you think he’s made his name like Rock’s to try to attract the attention of his 10,000 internet fans then you are completely wrong.
Hottest m.c.s lol!!! Take me back to ’98 anyday when I got Cube, WC, Scarface,Spice 1 Ugk….Yall can have these current -weak ass niggas
These lists are a poison. Impressionable kids and coattail riders follow the rankings, media outlets gain hits and revenue over the debating, the people who are ON the list offer their opinion and are told to sftu, and other rappers who are out there putting in work are left off.
Next up is the XXL Freshman cover.
real talk
this title is very condescending
ye and asap are clowns and anybody else thats getting emotional about a mtv list….a mtv mc list with future at #9
I find it hilarious how he’s claiming stuff other people did before him, as his own…If anyone deserves credit, its them for inventing this shit…Not the dude biting it and trying to “bring it back” lol
MTV and MC shouldn’t be in the same sentence, number one. Number two, ASAP Rocky is a commercial rap faggot with an ego and affinity for wearing dresses, he needs to drop a classic first before complaining
ASAP can occasionally make a real hot song. Dude is too image conscious though. It’s OK to have fashion but that’s ALL he seems to be going for these days. For music…I’ll stick to J. Cole, Kendrick, Big KRIT as far as the new crop of MC’s goes.
A$AP is my dude, but he can chill with that shit. His album probably won’t even go gold, you can only place so high on a list when your sales don’t match your hype.
ok….I love ASAP but you didn’t bring back the doubletime flow. kendrick was killing that shit back in like 09. We all know Kendrick gonna get the hottest MC title because his sales and quality of his album matched his hype. He delivered. That being said, why do MCs really care about this shit haha MTV is wack
He’s delusionnal if he thinks he’s the best emcee.
Any true artist who listens to Mtvs opinion has to be an absolute moron, the same people who make shows like Teen Mom and Jersey Shore are now all of a sudden the judges of Hip Hop! When will rappers learn that Hip Hop dwells in the streets and MTV is just trying to make money off corny ass people who think they know about hiphop. A$AP needs to listen to what other artists and mentors say,not BET ,not MTV ,none of that shit!
its not like the producers and creators of teen mom and jersey shore made the list
I PERSONALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE SAID.
he should off said i brought out,,,,,, rocking dresses,,lolol,,,
lil wayne
future
drake
rick ross
kendrick lamar
2 chainz
french montana
meek mill
tyga
kanye west
asap rocky would have been 11#
wow you really are slow…this is a horrible list
how can you put a dude (french montana) on this list? he doesnt have a studio album yet, and the one he will come out with keeps getting pushed back. i can not comment on the rest of the list because i will be typing all day.
i agree with kanye and rocky about one thing – being placed 1 or 2 spots above future is a fuckin slap to the face. theyre jus callin out MTV on that bullshit
what about being behind medium sean? that shit would bum me out
A$AP Rocky has an almost delusional view of his skills.
I saw him live (with Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q), and he was by far the weakest of the three.
He needs to work on his live performance.
He was so wack, I left before his performance was over.
You must notta been in SLC, he went off! I’ve seen many many many artists live now, and no ones ever had an energy like that show. Not even Nas (my favorite MC/Greatest all time). I even met my girl at that show homeboy! Him and Q performed together at the end, Danny did too with the Mob. It was so dope.
Him and Kendrick are the hottest.
Look at that grill on his mouth. Dude could be British. Nasty teeth.
The idea is to get on the cover of Rolling Stone.
1. Lil Wayne
2. Jay-Z
3. Kanye
4. Drake
5. Kendrick
6. J.Cole
7. T.I.
8. Future
9. Rick Ross
10. Big Sean
Kid puts Lil Wayne as number one. You’re a fucking retard. Your list is irrelevant just because of that. Future?? Stop listening to hip hop you moron.
which hiphop do u listen to
PULL DOWN YA SKIRT ROCKY…YA SLIP SHOWING
10. Fedoruh Da Hipstah Mane Jr.
9. Yung Lil $TAT
8. Sprinkles Da Haze Liftah

3. He-Brew Da Numbuhz Mane
2. The homeless dude by the bodega
1. My roommate Shaka Zoolander
oHH SHIT xD
if ever in need off a rap alias. look no further
This fuckin wack ass faggot shouldn’t even BE on the listen, fuckin clown ass muthafucka.
Lol Rocky actually knows he’s good like he very aware of his skills. He just needs to keep the pace.
1. Shyheim
2. Swifty McVey
3. Rich Boi
4. Berner
5. Mike Jones
6. Baby Boy Da Prince
7. Tony Yayo
8. Jibbs
9. Sean Kingston
10. Gudda Gudda
It ain’t about the videos my dude. It’s your lyrical ability, and you ain’t up on Joey Bada$$’ level as far as newcomers go. Now some of the old folks thas still killin it like Ghostface, Cormega, Redman, Sean Price…nah son. You got a ways to go B.
Yep! Totally Agree
they had you in the right spot bro lol
naw i think hes hotter than big sean.
The real injustice will be if Lil Wayne is ranked above Nas. It looks like he will be and that’s just a crime!
fuck this!!!! Hottest MC in the game is Tech N9ne 100%
1. Nas
2. Pharoahe Monch
3. Kool G Rap
4. Rakim
5. Ghostface Killah
6. Chali 2na
7. Redman
8. MF DOOM
9. Royce da 5’9″
10. Tech N9ne
I’m sorry but when it comes to this article, your list is bullshit! Stick to the dam subject nigga!
we’re not talking about the best we are talking about whos hot, not that i like who’s hot but the dude is clearly delusional if he thinks he brought back the 90s he hasn’t done shit for the era he created his own weirdo emo style of music
you know what, usually I won’t knock on a rapper for thinking highly of themselves… that’s what they do. they put work in their craft, drop some shit, people bump them and they think they’re God’s gift to Earth. I don’t blame em, it’s hip-hop in a nutshell.
but at least don’t start poppin your mouth off like a dumb nigga here. ASAP brought half of those things back. The double time style, Kendrick got that too.
it’s another one of those cases where when one rapper does somethin and other people start doin it, he takes all the credit despite the fact other rappers may have been behind the resurgence too! but that one rapper thinks he influenced that nigga too! #1 MISTAKE IN THE HIP-HOP GAME >>
Alot of yall dont know the difference between what “Hottest” means and “Best”. Hottest has nothing to do with Lyrical ablilty or skills Hot is about relevance and clout. Learn what the fuck yall are arguin about before yall start gettin snippy. The question is who’s HOT like who do you keep hearing about, not hot as in who made you go “OOOOOOOOOOH”
ur an idiot
no hes right actually. “hot” is different than “dope”
soooo co-signing this
I’m Such a lyrical wordsmith that i should have all ten slots on that list
-It’s Murdaaa!!!!!
Cover of Vogue? Ayo
Kendrick is automatically number one, he didn’t just have the best rap album, he had album of the year of all genres.
I’m pissed off that joey bada$$ or big krit aren’t on the list
these dudes including j.cole, black hippy and earl sweatshirt are the future of hip hop
again people the list is about the HOTTEST in the game. H-O-T-T-E-S-T.
Joey Bada$$, as talented as he is, should be nowhere near that list. Not KRIT, not J.Cole who’s pushed his sophomore album back as much as lil wayne does. these niggas dope, they ain’t hot.
people need to make the difference..
how has Jadakiss never been on this list?.. he will season marinate and BBQ EVERY one on this list past or Present… Fuck mtv when was the last time they even played a fuckin hiphop song? ill wait…. this list is more bullshit then kanye sayin wayne should be number one… no styles no j.cole no REAL NIGGAS… fuck this list fuck mtv and fuck the bitch ass niggas that made this list…
Because he hasn’t done anything and is highly overrated, and its mostly based off popularity which lets be real… Jada is far from it.
THAT BOY WEAR THONGS UNDER THEM DRESSES
Lmao funny ass shit
Lionel Boyce, is that you?
“Im the one who brought dresses back. im the one who brought shitty lyrics back!All these little kids out there want to be or be in me!”
Typical hipster taking pride and bragging about his own personal taste in music. And then, in typical hipster fashion, he tries to take credit for making John Lennon glasses cool! Pretty sure John Lennon made those glasses cool, you just noticed what he did years ago and are trying to take credit for someone else’s originality. Just like Wiz is trying to do to Jimi Hendrix. SMGDH at these hipster today , lol.
Did he not see kanye in “My Beautiful twisted dark fantasy” ?… H e brought back gold, in 2010…when he was on the whole purple tip….
haha fuck no
dis wus da real list 4 u bitch uss niggaz out deah
10 FAT JOE

8 ROYCE DE 59TH
7 VADO
6 LIL WAYNES
5 YUNG SCOOTER
4 T PAIN
3 LA RIED
2 ACE HOOD
1 JAY Z
haha what a joke
La reid aint even a rapper ahha
Why the fuck is A$AP and Kanye mad at an MTV list of top rappers? when has MTV ever had any credentials on hip hop or music in general for that matter. All they do is take trending ass rappers off of the top radio picks
Dude had the worst verse on 1 Train, no way he’s the hottest. He is flaming though…
lmao… what an ungrateful little pussy
i can see another kanye west in the making… how long before this dude starts throwing bitch fits on stage?
How could you not roll your eyes at everything he just said? He ain’t influenced a single person that I know of, musically or his fashion.
Wow didnt take long for him to get completely detached from reality hahahahah.
Pretty sure that braids, gold teeth and gold have been around and in since before A$AP was even born… I would say some rappers have gold chains and grills older than A$AP… he is a dope rapper, but haha, come on…..
Visit winningteambeats.com for quality beats/production.
Rappers don’t blow up, heads do.
Whats funny is all is songs is about is his gold teeth, drinkin lean and being gangsta. bout as unoriginal as you can get.
someone kick his crybaby ass off and put on Big KRIT
The way this homo A$AP is acting reminds me of the Dave Chappelle True Hollywood Prince episode.
A$AP is Micki Free, the new “pretty fine bitch” in Prince’s group LMAO. Micki Free is a dude
