MTV has announced Rick Ross as the number one emcee on its Hottest MCs list.
Ricky Rozay, whose 2011 consisted of the release of his Maybach Music Group compilation Self Made Vol. 1, edged out Drake, who landed at No. 2. Kanye West came in at third, while Nicki Minaj and her Young Money boss Lil Wayne grabbed fourth and fifth place, respectively.
“I just got the news that I was voted the game’s Hottest MC, and man, it really means a lot to me, of course, but it’s an honor,” Ross told MTV. “It’s something I’ve been watching, something I’ve been a fan of forever. Of course, MTV, they run the game. MMG, we’re here. Shout-out to the whole team.”
Check the full list below, as well as a clip from the MTV special where the network’s Brain Trust explains why Ross deserved the top spot.
1. Rick Ross
2. Drake
3. Kanye West
4. Nicki Minaj
5. Lil Wayne
6. Jay-Z
7. Meek Mill
8. Big Sean
9. Wiz Khalifa
10. Wale

10. ok
at least they didn’t put mac miller on here
Everyone should admit that Rozay ruled the game in 2011!!! Even without a solo album he was everywhere, everyone was talking about Rozay and MMG… and actually the people lovin it!
Everyone was talkin about how much muffin he eat and how much he weigh and most of all how much he sucked and o yeah how many albums he did not sell
hahaha
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LMFAO @ MTV
“Of course, MTV, they run the game.”
Lol @anonymous I’d rather see mac than Ross on the list at this point. Mtvs opinion is irrelevant.
well then you are stupid
Everyone on the list is wack
your daddy wack!
I just wanna say that it is a sorry affair and a sad result to see HipHop’s hottest MC list. The list is a piece of shit. And while some may argue…”who else would you want on the list”…it’s tru, that’s the exact problem. There is nobody else to put on this stupid list, and this is what we are now stuck with in HipHop. An overal talentless genre with paycheck and fame seeking artists. Not taking anything away from Rossy, He does deserve to make the list. But if I see some of the other characters on this list…..GoDdaaaaamn.
And where the fuck is J.Cole????? This is a clear example of what the industry “wants” to be projected.
What a fuckin joke
lmfao i didnt see this coming …….i kid i kid
every other day we are being told how amazing rick ross is
he must spend so much money on internet marketing because in the real world his just an average rapper but on here people act like his a god
This is the problem with lists its always based on opinion because of the subjective nature of music. There’s no point being up in arms about it, how can this list satisfactorily meet the demands for every hip hop fan. Its about the ‘hottest’ not the most lyrical, deep, controversial etc its based on how often these artists names appear in forums, websites, magazines, shows, in other words who are the most talked about. This list does not reflect who makes the best music its more to do with which rapper has hustled their name or brand effectively in the hip hop genre.
I totally agree with 100 percent.
100 percent fucking cosign… why does everyone have such a hard time understanding that? its actually frusterating. Read the CRITERIA for the list dumb fucks. HOTTEST mc. SALES is one of the main criterias of this particular list. So how the fuck could you dumbasses even mention someone who isnt selling at least 200 k. You tellin me Drake wasnt hott this year? over 2 million records sold broke the record for #1 songs on the RAP (for those who say hes not a rapper) billboard charts, not to mention hes all over your hometown hoods rap station all day. I personally thought he should have been #1 for THIS particular list. I think he has more of an overall buzz than Ross and I think hell out sell him by a longshot.
Are you fucking stupid or did you not watch the video? They debated who had better lyrics between Ross and Drake for who would gain position in the rankings. These people think Rick Ross is a lyrical genius, they actually said that.
FUNNY HOW THE PEOPLE ON THE LIST ARE ALL MAINSTREAM RAPPERS SIGNED TO BIG RECORD COMPANIES
Haha that’s what makes them successful. What are you a hiphop hipster?
How funny, the guys who are on top of the list weren’t even discussed in the grammy’s but of course they are topping this list. It’s all bullshit to me, Jay-Z and Kanye outshined everyone this past year but you guys overlook that okay. Common outshined Drake, and Drake sang a bunch of emotional songs this year but he tops the list, right. Wayne really? Interesting, I wonder who made this list, because it sounds like some kid made this list or some corporate big business trying to influence the hiphop culture. Bottomline, I don’t agree with this list at all and I question MTV motives.
Jay z and Kanye’s album was monstrosity of mediocrity.
Just goes to show what terrible shape rap is in. If you consider that monstrosity of mediocrity last year and this list.
As the greatest rapper alive said.
Hip Hop is Dead.
They killed it just like rock music.
I can’t help you understand hiphop or the hiphop culture but clearly you didnt hear the album. Your a jackass…grow up
Meh…David, STFU!!! WTT was just ok…Nothing special….U could say they toured, money and all that, but the album wasn’t perfect…Not even in a long shot.
I think Rick Ross is great, but Kanye West should have been number one. He released two of the biggest and most critically acclaimed albums in the past two years and just swept the Grammys. And where the hell is J. Cole?
Subcultureny.com
j. cole is somewhere washing rick ross’s drawls!
lol.
This need to be repeated.
King of Kingz:
I just wanna say that it is a sorry affair and a sad result to see HipHop’s hottest MC list. The list is a piece of shit. And while some may argue…”who else would you want on the list”…it’s tru, that’s the exact problem. There is nobody else to put on this stupid list, and this is what we are now stuck with in HipHop. An overal talentless genre with paycheck and fame seeking artists.
What was this based on? .. a mediocre mixtape and a delayed album?
based on yo mama given good head!
rozay cant hold a song on his own.he depends on big name features.kanye west should have been no 1
hold deez nuts! #hater
LOL! fuck MTV, their bullshit list & their opinions! most the people on this list aren’t even MCs! Drake fucking sings more than he flows and he’s #2, SMH, forreal! Nicki Minaj? Big Sean? Wiz Khalifa? Meek Mil? is young money running the panel, shit? mad biased! all those so called rappers gimmicks! Kanye over a Jay-Z, I’m confused! where’s 99% of the other current revelant rappers that should have be on this fucked campaign or at least mentioned! if this is a list of top 10 hip-hop artist, the genre is DEAD by MTV!
Based on that list:
1. Kanye West
2. Jay-Z
3. Rick Ross
4. Nicki Minaj
5. Drake
6. Lil Wayne
7. Big Sean
8. Wale
9. Wiz Khalifa
10. Meek Mill
TOP FIVE EZ:
1.French Montana
2.ASAP ROCKY
3.Meek Mill
4.Schoolboy Q
5.Kendrick Lamar
I feel that that list should be reversed…but good list non the Less KENDRICK LEMAR BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not because French Montana is the worst emcee in the history of hip hop.
Almost a worse list by putting kendrick lamar, schoolboy q, and a$ap in the league as mill and french montana, who is quite possibly the worst artist to create music eva. Ross,Drake, Minaj, Wayne, Khalifa, Wale, and Sean all suck. That is all
What the fuck does MTV know about hip hop.. They are the people responsible for doin pop list… MTV needs to stay the fuck out of hip hop..
fake or not nikki got the best tits in the game but how the fuck did she top jay-z
I don’t think she should be mentioned at all. She’s not hip-hop, she’s pop. Her lane is with Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, etc.
since when does mtv know anything about music? stick to your lame ass shows. Jay Kanye and Wayne deserve to be on that list the rest are gaarbage MC wise.
dude has a million features …he cant stand alone…they should just put dj khaled at number 1…smh
rick ross is the hottest mc right now period! he is all over the radio…the public has spoken! his beat selection and albums are all classics! mbmg ran the game this yr and none of you so-caled reall hiphop heads can deny that! #boss
Here is MTV’s List On The Wackest MC of 2012:

they got this one right! your hatin is a joke!
thanks for carrying the legacy! Ross!
@Anonymous
I know MTV says hot mc but you’re talking straight garbage to because i didn’t see any hiphop on MTV for the last decade son. I know dope mc’s or ill mc’s but i don’t know any hot mc’s. Don’t you get it. It’s all lies.
so the new Bad Boy, Rocafella, and Terror Squad: MMG, GOOD Music, and YMCMB….
God help us….
Why do some people try to look thru the “hip-hop-perspective”? Its about entertainment.
Nobody wants to see Rick Ross battle Eminem. Why? Because even if Em smokes Ross on the mic, the fat bastard would still be succesfull selling stuff to his clientel.
“MCs” dont exist no more, if 20 motherfuckers fight over one mic.
Why are yall so mad? this list is relatively true. Rick Ross is the hottest out right now.
THis list doesnt not say who is the best rapper. It says the hottest. Im not a big Ross fan but you cant deny he has “it” right now. “It” wont last too much longer because a lot of his material sounds the same but in the mean time he has it.
This is obviously based on commercial artists who earn for TV station like MTV so it may not be a true representation of the hottest MC’s in the game. The streets knows exactly who the hottest MCs are so relax peeps.
NICKI WAS NOT EVEN HOTTT THIS YEAR!!!!!FUCK!
The worst list ever see, MTV is bullshit, this list is garbage, rick ross hottest MC? fuck that…
wtf they coulda replaced Nicki with fuckin French,MGK,j.cole,Tech N9ne,tyler or Asap Rocky.those artists are 10x hotter rite now than nicki.dont give a fuck about what awards she been winning that had to be rigged because nobody bumps nicki all like that.STUPID HOE is the most annoying song ever
Why does French Montana keep getting mentioned in this thread? Do you not have a fully functioning brain?
nigga he/she mentioned French Montana 1 time, do you have a fully functioning brain????!!!!
nigga French is hot rite now whether you like him or not.i dont fuck wit french i think he wack…but he IS hot rite now
once in this POST. several times in this THREAD as I had indicated earlier, you dumb French Montana listening dickhead
lmao.that is not that persons fault that French keeps gettin brought up dude you trippin hahaha.
by the way:FRENCH MONTANA BEING BROUGHT UP ON A TOPIC LIKE THIS PROVES THAT HE IS HOTT DUMMY.lol
Seriously if it was up to mtv i’d stop listening to hiphop, just take a fucking look at the list.
rick ross = a fat poser who’s too heavy to get up on his feet in his music videos
drake = donkey looking homo who thinks can rap
lil wayne = lil uglyass midget with 14 y.o. white fans
wiz khalifa = another overrated mainstream artist
meek mill = one of the most annoying sound rappers i’ve ever listened to
MTV lists doesn’t mean shit yall
I’ll help you:
Wiz Khalifa- A tatted up Jar Jar binks. Who makes music for lil suburban kids.
Big Sean-A guy who can rap, but can’t make G.O.O.D music (irony)
Meek Mill-Young dude who fronts like he a “Boss” by yelling.
Lil Wayne-Blood/Skater/Rocker/guitarist. The second fakest rapper in the game, with an identity crisis.
WATCH THE REAL NIGGAS CELEBRATE.
do you guys not understand the term “HOTTEST” ?
an irrelevant rapper who has a small following cannot be the “HOTTEST” mc.

Ross: ”MTV they run the game”
Me: ”What, bubblegum & dramaqueen bullshit?”
smh
So Ricky got the number one spot for his work: “StayWack Music: Bitch Made Vol 1” and mixtape “Fat Forever” and upcoming album “Donuts Are Glazed,Fries Aren’t”…..wow…..Only songs I’ve heard him on last year were: “McRibs Back”,”Whopper In The Car”,and “Jelly Creamin”….SMH
jelly creamin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fat Nigga is probably singing:
“Jelllllyyyy Crrrreeeeeaaaammiiiinnnnn,Lets go get some Krriiiissspppyyyy Krrreeeeaaaammmmmm!!!!!!!”
MTV is so wack and so is their list. They dont know hip-hop and they dont know what the fuck theyre talking about.
im sayin
-_-
Watching that round table debate hip-hop and actually argue “who has better lyrics: Rick Ross or Drake” is just fucking hilarious to see and its great that these people think their intelligent but really they got the Hip-Hop IQ of the typical dumbfuck 15 year old.
Mtv runs the game? Stupid ass , fat fucker. Buhahaha!
Come On Son… these are rappers not rappers. I get the whole “hottest” thing. It’s about popularity.
You right.
And these white be crying and shit…”what about EM ???”
Since when does the quality of a RAPPER go off of his beat selection? Nas had one of the worst ears for beats but everybody knows he’s a dope Emcee. Rapping has nothing to do with selecting a beat, it has to do with how you can rock over any beat.
dont get mad, definitely a joke… i hope 😛
Here’s da real list yall ever wanted
1. Justin Bieber (who shot ya freestyle madddd bruh)
2. SouljaBoy (Crank That is best song ever)

5. Waka Flocka Flame ( crunky style kill this rap shit)
6. Birdman ( I love he sayin “belee dat”)

1.Freddie Gibbs>Jeezy & CTE

The Rick Ross is the best joke is getting old. Can we stop pretending to like him now?
shit if ross stays on top of the “game” i might fuck around n sign w maybach music, nahhh fuck these rappers
HAHAHAHA….what a joke
Trololololololololol.
Can’t wait for Ricky’s new album “Fatburger tastes great, Subway Don’t”
Eminem didn’t make the list again ? U want to tell me Wiz, Big Sean, Wale, Meek, Nicki Minaj all had a better year than Eminem ? #smh
yes because eminem hasnt done shit all year
yeah they did actually
It’s about who is rapping right now – ya dig??
Dumb idiots….How the hell were those hotter than Em ? Em did the BET stuff…Went Gold with BME, collected $6m in Australia off 2 shows, Lighters was blazing the radios….Signed SH and Yelewolf…..Won 2 grammys early in febuary, 2011….Was on Dre’s I need a Doctor….Don’t be foolish !!!
c’mon. tell me Watch the Throne isnt as good as Tha Carter IV or Pink Friday. Both those albums were mediocre. WTT isnt a ‘classic’ by any means, but seriously, i dont know how they’ve put Wayne above Jay. Or even how they put wayne above Nicki. Nicki’s a rising star i suppose, with the whole Madonna shit (y’know, the song with the most embarrassing video in the world)and her general rise in public profile. Wayne hasnt done anything, except be associated with ‘World’s-Most-Easily-Forgiven-Wife-Beater-in-the-world=who-also-manages-to-make-out-like-he’s-the-victim’
They talking about hows “hot” don’t let it get you down son. Errbody know Jay is the GOAT kid.
Ross is at his peak right now. Nigga got heat.
Watch The Throne is classic you def muhfucka
Pink Friday is wack
watch the throne is FAR from classic.. hop off
NIGGA you are on PCP!WTT IS A CLASSIC!
what is a classic to you then dude?
It’s an mtv list don’t take it so serious. Only one on their that deserves a spot on there is jay.
as soon as i read the title, i was like “uh oh here comes the haters”, but grats rick ross, this is more promotion for his album and mmg.
and to yall retards…its “HOTTEST MC”, meaning the people whos constantly pushing and gets radio play etc…
my nigga eminem not on here but lets be honest, he didn’t do much in 2011 except bad meets evil, which had one successful single.
“Hottest MC” translates into Best Pop Artist. Pop artist make music for teenage girls & flaming homosexuals, just stating facts.
i dont get it..so the guy above me is mad that teenage girls & homosexuals like to listen to music.whats that niggaz deal?
Shout out to MMG and Ymcmb they Run this bitch.
Here is the real list.
1. Rick Ross
2. Lil Wayne
3. Meek Mill
4. Wale
trade Wiz for Currency
Young Money/ Maybach!!!
How very Homosexual of you.
ATTENTION DUMB ASS NIGGAZ!:

LOL How? Talent? No.. Popularity? No…
Record Sales? No.. In what way
And Eminem isn’t even in the top 10 (isn’t mtv lists based off popularity/sales?) This is a joke come on…
Best 5 MCs alive:
Eminem
Rakim
NaS
Jay-Z
AZ
Although the 5 who are at the top at the moment in terms of skills and quality of albums is a bit more difficult, but I’d probably put Tech N9ne, Pharoahe Monch maybe if he releases another album within the next year, and some others.
ATTENTION DUMB ASS NIGGAZ!:
the list is about THE HOTTEST MC IN THE GAME!who was poppin this year in the MAINSTREAM!fuckin idiot hatin ass underground/”real” hip-hop heads up here talkin shit n namin niggaz that didnt do shit all year.yeah your favorite rappers are lyrical monsters n yada yada but THEY ARE LAZY.& LIKE I SAID THIS IS ABOUT MAINSTREAM RAPPERS!FUCK

you are dumb.
THE NAME OF THE LIST DOES NOT FUCKIN SAY THE MOST LYRICAL OR GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
it clearly fuckin says the HOTTEST MC IN THE GAME!
Translation. The most POP
AHahahahahahaha, damn that is the worst list I have ever laid eyes on. I DO NOT listen to any of those Pop artists on that list with the exception of an occasional Jigga song.
Pop is Kesha.
those are rappers dog.
Well I am not at all dissapionted by the list, it clear says ‘hottest mcs in the game’ the main word being hottest. If it had said the most skilled mc or the most lyrical or the most creative etc I would have had my doubts. and if you care, by defination hottest ‘Currently very popular or successful’.
HE GETS IT^^^
sure does
its hilarious how terrible society is at having the right people doing the right jobs. everybody from this “brain trust” has a job of following hip hop and look at how lazy and predictable this list is. rick ross is literally a joke and they put him as number 1 haha. only guys that deserve to be on the list are kanye, big sean, and maybe wiz
thats the wackest list ever!
NAH FUCK THAT!!! HOW THE FUCK WAS PITBULL NOT ON THE LIST?!!! PLANET PIT WAS MOST LYRICAL ALBUM LAST YEAR!! FUCK MTV ALWAYS HATING ON REAL MCING.
-___- nigga shut up…”planet pit the most lyrical album last year” you dumb
The most lyrical album…planet pit?…why the fuck would you say that?
hahahahahahaha. that gave me a good laugh
fair enough, this is only a list of the most popular MC’s. doesn’t mean they are the best.
K-Dot, Andre3000, T*U*A, Lupe, kanye, nas
My List of actual dope MCs are
this guy gets it^^
The best mc on that list is Rakim and the rest is straight garbage. Sellout suckas!
I think the best doesn’t excist but these mc’s are pure dope.
Vast Aire (Cannibul Ox)
Soul Khan (Brown Bag Allstars)
Slug(Atmosphere)
Myka9 (Freestyle Fellowship)
Skech185 (new)(ATD & Skech185)
K The I!!!!
K-No Supreme (Frankensteez)
1.Rakim is NOT in the list.lmao.idk where he came from.
2.its not about the best its who was the hottest & had a good year in MAINSTREAM
MTV makes a list that represents anyone who has sold the most, not who truly represents hip hop. Remember that MTV is a corporation primarily concerned with making money instead of supporting the culture.
1. Tech N9ne 2. B.o.B 3. Hopsin 4. Kid Cudi 5. Chamillionaire 6. 50 Cent 7. Kanye West 8. Kendrick Lamar 9. A$AP Rocky 10. Lupe Fiasco……..2nd to last: Nicki Minaj. Dead last: Rick Ross
50 cent? nigga you trippin’.
Tech,B.o.B,Hopsin,Ye,lamar,rocky those are reasonable they had a great year.
Kid Cudi has not really bin doin anything but his album fina drop.
cham & 50 are NOT HOT IN THE GAME.
LMAO. They basically laughing at hip hop to put this joke at #1.
Are mc’s not rappers like:
Biggie,
Big L
Big Pun,
Rakim,
Kool G rap
I dont consider Ross or Lil Drake an mc.
This means that hiphop is really dead and ruled by a bunch of money hungry faggot pop rappers.
ATTENTION DUMB ASS NIGGAZ!:
the list is about THE HOTTEST MC IN THE GAME!who was poppin this year in the MAINSTREAM!fuckin idiot hatin ass underground/”real” hip-hop heads up here talkin shit n namin niggaz that didnt do shit all year.yeah your favorite rappers are lyrical monsters n yada yada but THEY ARE LAZY.& LIKE I SAID THIS IS ABOUT MAINSTREAM RAPPERS!FUCK!!!
Niggas been hatin for a minute but I’ve been tellin all you on this site for the last year that Rozay was the hottest nigga in the game. He ethered 5.0 and you niggas still deny. Where Jeezy at huh? The Bawse hottest nigga in teh game and God Forgives I don’t gonna be a classic.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL. You’re kidding, right?
That’s MTV for ya; they don’t know hip-hop.
AND WHO DOES? BET?
this is about who was HOT in the GAME.not who was “real hip-hop”.dickhead
Who does? BET?
So… MMG, G.O.O.D., YMCMB, and Wiz Khalifa…. lol no surprise here @ all.. sound like and 8th graders favorite rapper list, w/ jay-z randomly on there lol
then who do you think was the hottest rapper in the game of 2011 till now in mainstream is.
dont name any old ass niggaz that have done nothin like Rakim or some shit.
kendrick lemar pisses all over that fat cunt officer ricky just to name 1 you idiot
as hard as it may seem to your dumbass not everyone knows who Kendrick Lamar is!!he is still comin up,they gave him a mention which means he still has to prove himself which means his buzz isnt big enough which means no he doesnt piss on anyone yet smart guy.he is barely mainstream by the way idiot.i said name the hottest in mainstream dumb ass
rick ross is realy fat and will probally be dead soon so who cares
LETS NOT FORGET THIS IS THE SAME GUY WHO STOLE ANOTHER MAN’S IDENTITY AND WAS A CO! DOES NOBODY REMEMBER THIS? Fuck the rap game! And why is this jew calling me a nigga ?
J cole and lupe fiasco should have made the list…..fuck u MTV
Keep hating niggas and all you dumbasses who make lists with all these underground rappers, they may be lyrical but nobody gives a FUCK about them. This list is for the hottest rappers in the game meaning they got a buzz none of them niggas ain’t hot. They shit don’t sell mainstream don’t play em.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MTV don’t know shit.
exactly
I don’t know what the fuck Ross does behind the scenes in the industry…but he’s got everyone on his dick. I don’t see how someone so average could get features on everyone’s songs, all this praise, I’m shaking my head. Drake should have taken this one; his shit went platinum and he’s got 4 songs on the Hot 100…Ross got none.
ONLY NIGGA MISSING FROM THE LIST IS 2 CHAINZ
HOW IS JCOLE AND JEEZY NOT ON THIS LIST? TM103 IS THE ALBUM I HEAR PEOPLE BANGING THE MOST RIGHT NOW JEEZY PROVED OFFICER RICKY WRONG AND HE’S NOT EVEN ON THE LIST? mtv is bs
Most of these are pop artists(yes, pop), especially Drake and Lil Wayne, they put shitty effects on their voices to sing pop.
Possibly the wackest list I ever seen.
Coooooooooo fuckin siiiiign! ^^^^
Rap game is never ever ever coming back. Period. I’m on my country swag in 2012. They ain’t never lying bout nuffin!
wow what an achievement for officer william roberts he probably used to dream about this day over donuts in the penitentiary staff room
This may be the hottest mc’s list but it’s anything but. They really tryin to say Rick Ross had a better year than Jay-Z and Kanye with their WTT album everyone bought and listened to and their tour compared to MMG’s album that was lackluster and the only good person was Wale. Really MTV? And how did he get over Drake when he sold more records with his 2 albums than Ross’ 4 solo albums and he grossed more with his tours than he did. Lil Wayne did a mill in a week and he is number 5 and Ross is one. Don’t get me wrong, C4 was a let down but it was better than anything Rick Ross can do. They even left off Lupe because contrary what you guys believe, Lasers was good and his Friend Of The People mixtape was nice. MGK had won MTVs breakthrough artist and he was supposed to have an automatic berth on the list but where he at. Finally, they have Meek Mill on the list at number seven over people that actually have good albums out. If they really want to go there, put Kendrick Lamar on the list over Meek Mill because his Section.80 was one of the greatest albums/ep of the year better than anything Meek Mill can come up with. Oh and if you have Meek Mill and Wiz Khalifa on their and no J. Cole who actually went gold and no doubt had a good album, you out yall damn mind. And no Eminem but Nicki Minaj!!!!! SMFH. The only good thing was they didn’t snub my boy Big Sean. Get yall act together MTV!
dear hip-hop headz/hipster/idiots/haters
this list clearly states it is about the HOTTEST MC’s IN THE GAME of 2011 till now..not the GREATEST EVER not the most lyrically skilled.this is all MAINSTREAM RAP!
stop bringin up old niggaz who have not done anything in hip-hop recently but be lazy.which means shut up about Rakim or any MC from his era.stop bringin up niggaz that are NOT popular.
LMAO!THIS NIGGA IS KEEPIN IT REAL!
everyone be talkin bout “oh my list would have Slaughterhouse in it,blah blah blah”but they have not done shit but leak tracks here n there.
I cosign you my nigga. I’m tired of every fucking article these niggas bringin up these rappers who were lyrical 20 years ago but dont got no buzz now. Its hottest rappers right now and all you fuckin idiots who bring up guys like hopsin and elzhi word to yall the mainstream dont know about those niggas thats why they aint on the list.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MTV usually always gets it wrong but dis list isnt dat bad it’s just missing a few key placements and rappers.
missing rappers: J.Cole(platinum selling single, gold-selling albulm)
Placements:Drake should be #1,(platinum selling albulm, dominates the radio, 2 platinum selling songs in Im on One,even though it’s Dj Khaled song Drake did the catchy hook and verse & The Motto)..While Ross is hot right now, he has no lyricism so he should be lower on the list becuz lyrcism was one of the factors these judges included..Other than dat, these r the hottest mainstream rappers of the past year
Where is black thought? Where is Common? Where is Lupe fiasco? These guys released the best hip hop albums of 2011.
you niggas are really stupid arent you. It’s the hottest mc in the game and while black thought is lyrical, mainstream dont give a fuck about him, same wit common, thats why his album didn’t sell. Dont u fuckin people on this site READ, its hottest in the game, not most lyrical. Fuck.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^ So your sticking up for a guy who you claim isnt as lyrical as a Black Though but sells more records?
@ Ricky Rozay
Im glad your a fan of a rapper who lies to you in every song he makes.
this list is NOT about who is the most lyrical.ya jackass
^ This point has already been made. ya jackass
That’s the last thing this gangsta wannabe needs … His ego is already bigger than his stomach. A number 1 spot is going to make his head explode
nigga 90% of every artist in any genre have ego’s.whether its underground or mainstream
NO FUCKIN SHIT. This is the LAST thing this delusional fake, faggot bitch needs is to be the “so-called” number one hottest MC in the game right now. He has already been delusional as fuck about his whole persona, now this?? WOW. It’s the people who support Officer Ricky who should be to blame. You fuckin faggots.
that makes no sense dude.it doesnt matter who got the number 1 spot or who made the list or whos not on the list.the point is EVERY artist has an ego regardless of being no.1!LOCAL NIGGAZ EVEN HAVE BIG EGO’s!!
ahahaha Fat Boy & Da Grassi on the first places. buahaha what is the name of the cometition? Master of being whore of the year
the WORST list to ever be compiled! who’d they consult for this? snookie? that wouldnt fucking surprise me
LOL the hottest rapper in the game has 0 platinum plaques
HIP HOP IS DEAD
MTV pumps poison to zombies
Drake is a closet homo
Niki Minaj is a devil worshiping dike that wants to be white
Lil Wayne wears leggings and kisses his daddy on the lips
Big Sean is a homosexual
Kanye West is the gayest pop star since Boy George
Meek Milz is a retard
Wale is a midget fuck with a Napoleon complex
this rap shit is really a homo circus in 2012. fuck rap.
brainwashed zombie fucks keep letting the machine fool your little minds

Congrats Rozay!
what a awful list from mtv
only ross, kanye, meek mill, jay-z n wale are actual MCs. the rest are rappers (hardly even that in drake n minaj’s case actually). this list is mad disrespectful to the art of MCing.
Ross ain’t an MC you dumb fuck!
Kanye and Wale ain’t an MC either…Only Jay is..
none of you know what an MC is!!
MASTER OF CEREMONIES!!a person who gets on stage n controls/entertains the people!!!
last time i checked everyone on that list hits the fuckin stage & rocks crowds…so shut up
The worst media platform in the game, MTV!(While doing the robot!)
R.I.P Hip Hop
Agreed. Nicki Manaj and Drake in top 5? Awful. Not to mention Lil Wayne’s put out nothing but garbage since Carter III
ok then who is in your top 10 hottest mc’s in the game of 2011 in mainstream?
cant wait to see ross die
I like some of Drake’s music, but #2? Face it. MTV lost its credibility years ago. Now they exist solely to show Jersey Shore and 16 and Pregnant.
if you are a “HIP_HOP HEAD” or into the underground n shit then you should not be commenting,complaining or checkin this list.this is for people who listen to the radio n fucks with mainstream.STOP CRYIN!!!
LMAO!!! WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT MTV SAYS!!! I would diss a lot of rappers on there but its mtv a teen pop channel that does even play music videos anymore! Its funny how Dx can even put this up!!!!
Rappers and MC’s are in entirely different leagues, if they were serious they would include people that actually took the art of MC’ing seriously, hottest MC? they can’t be serious, it just shows you how MTV loves to dumb down the culture and turn rap fans into the dumbest niggas alive…
if you are a “HIP_HOP HEAD” or into the underground n shit then you should not be commenting,complaining or checkin this list.this is for people who listen to the radio n fucks with mainstream.STOP CRYIN nigga
NOT GOING TO SAY A WHOLE LOT BUT JUST I TOLD YOU NIGGAS YMCMB MMG 4 OUT OF THE TOP 5. 6 OUT OF THE TOP 10
MTV, FUCK YOU! MuthaFUCK YOU! You fuckin straight up faggot-ass clowns! Nice list!! Rick Ross, all of you kill yaselves!!
then what would your list have?
I got mad love for the bawsss but fuck MTV
MTV SUCKS MY DICK REALLY THAT FAT PIECE OF SHIT.
I guest he did the most feature this time around.
What the fuck?rick ross fuck da police
Really? Realllllly? Rick Ross? What a piece of shit of a list. Only one on there that really has any argument of being in the top 10 is Jay-Z. Terrible terrible list. Who put this list together? Goes to show you that MTV knows nothing about music and thats why they stuck to playing teen reality shows all day.
its a sad day in hip hop when a Corrections officer is named the “hottest MC”…
hes not even a MC, he is an industry made rapper, posing to be a drug dealer
MTV = Manipulating True Values
i agree
@ RealRap who cares what you agree on bitch???
I won. Celebrate with some cheese burgers
That is so funny. That list is terrible. I guess it says hottest MC’s, not best artists though. Rick Ross was everywhere. But that don’t mean he’s good. Quality over Quantity, I learned that shit in grade school. The past year was Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse, Tech N9ne, Big Sean, and Kendrick’s year. Fuck what they talkin about
SLAUGHTERHOUSE HAS NOT DONE SHIT THIS YEAR NIGGA!
IT HOTTEST MC’S WHO IS HOTTER THAN THE PEOPLE ON THE LIST ?
i actually agree with this!
niggaz dont understand that this list is about popular artists.
For beats/instrumentals, visit http://www.aricthethrowed.com
I’m sorry but if they’re considering someone who had a strong buzz, then U got to put 2 Chainz on that list. I’m not a fan, but real is real, and that dude was on everybody shit in 2011, and still is.
hopefully we see variety on the next list
i hope to see Kendrick,Tech,MGK & other young emcee’s.gettn tired of seein the same names in the list
tech isnt a young emcee dumbass, hes been around since the 90s
I KNOW BITCH!
i clearly state that TECH,so n so + other young emcee’s
LOL!the RealRap nigga thought he was smart
i know right!lol
like me or anyone else didnt know
you kind of stated the names like a retardd so yeah, dont blame the realrap guy for misunderstanding lol
IF YOU TURN ON THE RADIO THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR ITS HOTTTEST MC’S. YOU NOT TURNING ON THE RADIO AND GOING TO HEAR KENDRICK LAMAR STOP CRYING NIGGAS
Exactly, its got nothing to do with actual MCing skills, its the bullshit the radio pushes out…
Ric Ross can be at the top of any list he wants. for gods sake, hes the police. the 5.0 can make anything happen that they want
EST.,Whitgirlmobb,A$AP MOB,OFWGKTA,Tyga,2 chainz,Busta,Kendrick,tyga were hotter than half these muhfuckaz 4real
WIZ>WALE????
NICKI>JAY???
DEFINITELY A TEENAGE POPULARITY CONTEST, WHATS THAT CALLED TEEN CHOICE OR SOMN?? THE FUCK? I GIVE IT ROSS THOUGH EVEN THOUGH HE SEEM FAKE BEING A CO AN ALL HE STILL SPIT,
The real list for 2012 (not in order)
1. Jay-Z
2. Kanye West
3. Lupe Fiasco
4. The Game
5. Busta Rhymes
6. T.I.
7. Tech N9ne
8. Everyone from Wu-Tang
9. Ludacris
10. Common
fuck ymcmb… fuck taylor gang… they’re all trash…
Boring list…I prefer MTV’s list. #1 Jay ? U are stupid…..Kanye carried that old camel on his back throughout the year.
maybe if you werent such a dumbass, you wouldve noticed i said “not in order”
1.ur list is pretty good.
2.the nigga who commented you are dumb because he put (not in order) n u bashed him for havin Jay as number 1?lol
3.dont get it twisted.Jay gave us Kanye
jay is irrelevant as fuck… jay has been a top mc for over a decade now…. the top ten ‘hottest’ has to do with sales i guess… so fuck mtv’s list…. the best mc’s of the year…. reks, median, action bronson, kendrick lamar, j.cole…..
Jay gave us kanye? U dumb asshole. Did Jay teach him how to rap?he signed him, but ye is a genius on his own. Ye makes Better albums!
Jay didn’t make Kanye, but he allowed him to get far/give him the accolades he needed to get far…
Kanye in his beginnings was pretty much like J.Cole is now, namedropping Jay every fuckin where he went, “lookin up” to him and tings.. only thing is Kanye went all the way through wit it, now he’s on top of the rap game alongside Jay
All Jay did was have another number one album, highest grossing tour, new baby girl, reopen 40/40 club, platinum singles, critically acclaimed album, and have lyrics for days. But somehow he is behind Nicki (No Album), Ross (Barely Gold), Wayne (so so songs), and Drake (r&b artist. Get real.
All Kanye did was have two critically acclaimed albums, sell over a million copies of each, most creative summer tour, new clothing line, and introduced Big Sean. Oh…and he won four fucking Grammy’s!!!
J. Cole had a gold selling album, been on two great tours, great fan following, platinum selling single, great features, and grammy nomination. And this brother can’t make the list. Meek Mill who doesn’t even have an album out is number seven. Wale who isn’t gold is number 10.
@Anonymous3
YOU ARE STUPID
JAY GAVE KANYE HIS FUCKIN RECORD DEAL YOU DUMB ASSHOLE!!NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT JAY MAKING OR TEACHIN SHIT!so just shut the fuck up
Did somebody just say WTT was lyrical ? ROFL!!!! Those niggas said nothing on most of the tracks….I enjoy the production though.
Dumb idiots….How the hell are these guys hotter than Em ? Em did the BET stuff, and ripped it…Went Gold with BME, collected $6m in Australia off 2 shows. Headlined major festivals around the globe(Setting attendance records in most of em). Lighters was blazing the radios….Signed SH and Yelewolf…..Won 2 grammys early in febuary, 2011….Was on Dre’s I need a Doctor….Don’t be foolish !!!
WHEN THE LAST TIME THEY PLAYED EM IN THE CLUB? WHATS THE LAST VISUAL EM PUT OUT? SHIT WHEN THE LAST TIME WE SEEN EM INAMERICA?
yessir you are so lame
YMCMBXMM RIch forever
Rick Ross is one of the worst rappers in the game.
Hip hop is dead. This fat tub of lard killed it.
LMFAO
the top ten ‘hottest’ has to do with sales i guess… so fuck mtv’s list…. the best mc’s of the year…. reks, median, action bronson, kendrick lamar, j.cole…..
shit, where’s em
besides Hell the Sequel, Em ain’t done shit all else
And HTS went Gold…How many people went Gold ? He did a couple of shows….Headlined major festivals….Did the BET stuff…..Lighters went 2x plat….won two grammys early in feb, 2011….Performed too….How can u say he did nothing besides HTS.? Dumb fool!
Terrible list. Rick Ross helped give birth to Meek and Wale but he’s not better than any rapper on that list. Kanye should’ve been first based on how good his shit did and they missed Lamar and JCole. Crter 4 had some good shit but overall it was mehhh. Nikki and Khalifa are terrible.
nigga Meek & Wale were killin shit b4 MMG
I’ve liked Wale for a few years and always thought he was talented but Meek I haven’t listened to as much. In the realm of pop culture, though, nobody really gave them a chance until signed to Double-M.
MTV just wants to lose its credibility.
I get it… It really is a popularity contest. MMG and YMCMB are the two most popular movements.. Now having said that, how the hell is Jeezy left off the list he put out Real is Back I and II, TM103 been toring like crazy…I’m not a fan but the annoying 2 Chains should be on there he got mad features this year, basically that’s being hot when u on every major artist songs, I don’t get Big Sean and Wiz at all especially Wiz not this year, he aint put out squat except for Rolling Papers which sucked nuts…. I could go on but again its a popularity contest so i kinda get it
“MTV has stressed that the list is not meant to represent the greatest rappers of all time but the most interesting and culturally relevant artists of the current year, the list is met with much controversy and debate each year.”
What a fruity top 10.
LOL
not that i agree with this list, but i kinda see what MTV’s criteria is…whoever gets radioplay…even so, Big Sean DOES NOT BELONG on this damn list, his songs are 1000% mediocre, Wiz & Wale DEF made better songs than Big Sean’s mediocre ass…MTV lost my respect for that smh
wale n wiz r already up there tho.what u bitchin 4???
You Fools Don’t Understand What “Hottest” MCs In The Game Mean. You Have To Put Your Personally Bias Aside, When You Do That You Can’t Do Nothing Else But Agree With The List. The Segment of TheShow Even Breaks Down The Criteria They Go With and All The Artist on This List Has It. I’m Not A Wayne or Drake Fan But They Deserve To Be On The List.
Tyler, The Creator shoulda been on it. He was hot the whole year
not only has he not been hot the whole year but Frank Ocean damn near stole his spotlight at one point
tyler & OFWGKTA did have a good year
what a gay ass list only 2 on there that belong are jay z and kanye west the rest are all fake ass rappers
yes give it to the jews!
Ricky Bawse is the new Biggie Smalls
That clown show didnt even drop an album this year
MTV doesnt know anything about music anymore, Ross doesnt even have enough Buzz to get a release date on his latest piece of shit
Lil B should of been #1. WOO!! WOO!! SWAG!! SWAG!! COOK!! STEAK!! KNIFE!! OMG BASEDGOD PLEASE FUCK MY BITCH!! PLEASE FUCK HER IN THE ASS!! #TYBG
“what a gayass list”
I don’t know what the motherfuck y’all expected when you heard “HOTTEST MCS” on the article’s name. some whiners are just soundin like bipolar Cpt. Obviouses.
the fact of the matter is, Ross HAS been hot over the past year… not Eminem who dropped a gold album and has been doin only behind-the-scenes moves since.. not Kendrick Lamar who ladies doesn’t even know his name. not Jay who let’s face it, rode Kanye’s coattails this year… it’s Ross. doesn’t mean he’s good. but he’s been hot as fuck.
and if you’re tired of mainstream, God knows what you’re doin here anyway.. just to spew and hate? innit time to say been there done that? fuck I spent my time hatin all these mofuckers but this is just redundant..
As soon as I saw the list I drank a bottle of hard bitter hate juice, And I am now drunk as hell!
Na bruh. Drake, ‘Ye and Minaj were all hotter than him this year. I’ll go head and say Jay too. I mean that WTT tour was insane when it came to reviews, attendeance, revenues etc. Not too mention the album. I mean think about how many time last year you heard Jay and ‘Ye’s either track or a story. In general, they dominated headlines way more than ROSS. So did Drake, really. Rozay has some good longevity but his shit ain’t hittin like it was when he first dropped.
eminem a gold album? pretty sure recovery is 2 or 3 times platinum. hahahah you must be stupid
Recovery dropped in 2010… who’s stupid now
Atlien, it’s debatable, but Ross been droppin tracks, collabos and music vids all year… MMG are music video whores lol but yeh it just mean Rick Ross been grinding the most. Drake and Nicki been hot for a period of time, just for their album releases. You could make a case for Kanye tho.
as for Jay I may be pessismistic towards him but I feel he’s tryna hold on… word tho I agree the WTT tour was hot
Where is Tech?FUCK MTV!!!
MTV is a joke theyre not even relevant anymore winning a VMA has lost all its reputation first “Otis” won and then MTV put this list????? Only on MTV does a ex-pig get the nmbr 1 spot
I like Ross, but he is not the best, but then again, this is a list of the HOTTEST MCs at the moment. It’s not like MTV KNOWS anything about hip hop. They used to, but now all they know is about getting drunk on a beach and flashing your vag on a glass for strangers.
Replace Nicki Minaj with J. Cole and you have a fairly acurate list. Still can’t believe they snubbed him after Cole World went gold and Can’t Get Enough was all over the radio. Not to mention Friday Night Lights and the Any Given Sunday series. He should have been a shoe in for top five and he ain’t even make the list. Smdh Mtv.
Other than that tho, the list is str8. Kendrick is my favorite rapper out right now but he has some more work to do before he gets widespread recognition. Same goes for Tyler, 2 Chainz, and A$ap.
I am glad Rozay is getting respect tho. Fake or not, that boy is a scientist in the studio. People sleep on how meticulous his technique is. Dude really makes motion pictures in the booth.
I do think the list was too MMG and YMCMB heavy tho. Take out one member from each, replace em with Cole and maybe Tyler and I can fuck with this list based off their criteria.
First of all, the reasoning behind these lists the past few years is pure nonsense. But keeping in line with their “logic” there’s a few notable names that should be on this list.
Tyler The Creator
Eminem
Slaughterhouse
Yelawolf
Tech N9ne
Mac Miller
J. Cole
Young Jeezy
Some of these names I mentioned aren’t even anywhere on my personal playlist, but considering it’s not necessarily about talent, it’s about popularity… why is Meek Mill, Wale, Big Sean or even Wiz Khalifa on this list? Wiz I could understand a year ago, but Mac Miller is in the same lane as that guy and outperformed him this year. Tech N9ne continues to sell independently and Eminem has released a number of buzzworthy “freestyles” including his BET Awards Cypher with Slaughterhouse this past year.
All in all, any list MTV makes nowadays is garbage. The radio sucks, MTV sucks, the mainstream media sucks.
HipHopDx, you continue to hang around because despite all the trash you put on this website, you still expose some up and comers. Then again, you’re just looking for hits, so I guess promoting garbage is part of the game.
I think that was the most “logic” put into this bullshit ass list.
MTV Gay list 😀
They left out Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole, the most lyrical rappers in the game (that are actually relevant). MTV is gay
Kendrick Lamar lyrics are ok, but seriously J.Cole?
I could throw 40 names of MC which outshined that dumbass MTV clowns…
What about Aesop Rock, guys from cunninlyngusts, the Left, Eligh, Ish Butler (of shabazz palaces), p.o.s. and so on
SO NOW THIS IS ARE LIST MTV??? SMH

Officer Ricky ?? Smhh.. -_-
On that list, the only ones who are legit are Jay-Z and Rick Ross. Lil Wayne in his early days was cool, but he sold out and just got really wack. Nicki Minaj is just a dumb, untalented ho who bought her record deal. Wiz is garbage. Kanye West is a good rapper but I don’t know about a top 10 best. The rest don’t warrant a mention.
New beats up at http://www.aricthethrowed.com
LOL the only real legit rapper on that list is kanye…who should top that shit every fucking year…but it doesnt matter…its mtv
whattttttt???? your really gonna put nicki minaj and meek mill before wale?!?!! Ambition was one of the best rap records in a while and they placed him at 10? MTV is what as shit man
it ain’t about what’s best.
MTC doesnt know what there talkin about, what else is new??
I gave up on them when they gave Coolio a VMA over 2pac, Method Man & LL in the 90’s man, MTV doesnt have a clue about hip hop, never did
that dangerous minds single was a dope song tho, it made waves. it def was a controversial win, but still deserved to an extent.
Rick Ross works hard he deserves it.
i would be happier if the list took out drake, wiz, nicki, and sean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p_jxA4p1Wk
everyone on this shitty list (except for jay) is accurately portrayed in this video.
MTV’s definition of hot: any person who has done the best job of saturating the market with crap.
I think its safe to say that the past year was all about team work. The main reason the list sucks is that 2 camps take up 6 slots.
I think they should have let the stand out artists from each crew get a slot and then give props to the other members who made the brand hot. Based off that criteria, my list:
1)Kendrick Lamar & TDE (Giving props to Schoolboy Q, Ab Soul, and jay Rock)
2)Rick Ross & MMG (Giving props to Meek Mill and Wale)
3)Kanye West & Good Music (Giving props to Big Sean, Pusha T, and Cyhi)
4)Drake, YMCMB, & OVOXO (Giving props to Lil Wayne, Nicki, and The Weeknd)
5)J. Cole & Roc Nation (Giving props to Jay-Z & Jay Electronica)
Continued:
6)Tyler the creator and ofwgkta
7)A$ap Rocky and A$ap Mob
8)Curren$y and the Jets
9)Eminem & Shady/Aftermath (Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf, etc)
10)Wiz Khalifa & Taylor Gang
yea because he paid them all that money to play 20 videos of his and his crews I bet they do like him
SO NOW THIS IS ARE LIST MTV??? SMH

MTV can eat a dick straight up
what a fucking shit list, jay z’s the only MC up there, fuck you MTV you smelly cunts
Lol at all the dicksucks getting butthurt over a stupid list. SMH.
HOTTEST MC’S IN THE GAME! not “most lyrical” or “best flow” or any of that. HOTTEST, meaning most relevant and getting the most commercial attention. yeah all those people everyone named before are great talents, but whether you like the list or not, its stays very accurate to who is getting the most shine and who isn’t. though a few on the list are artists i don’t necessarily listen to more regularly than other artists who didn’t make it, i have no problem saying that 2011 was a HUGE year for rick ross, and it because of him that two other people made the list. relevance in commercial media is the name of this game, and whether you like it or not, rozay has this list by the balls. deal with it
SO WHAT HE DO DID HE SELL SHIT ….NOPE
BURGER KING ADS SHOULD NOT COUNT AS MEDIA ATTENTION
yeah it says hottest in the heading then you read the story it says number one emee the dude isnt an emcee he just ryhmes over beats same old tired ass flow as always weak
THE REAL TOP 10 RAPPERS OF ALL-TIME
1. RICK ROSS

RICK ROSS can eat a big fat dick. also hes a frod he never sold crack his name isnt rick ross the real rick ross invented ready rock crack in the 80s who made millions selling. this guy used to be a P.o. never did anything bitting styles from Raekwon, fat joe and notorious B.I.G.
co-sign if Jay Z is the only person on MTV’s list that would make your own list
How the fuck Rickross number one?????????What big single made it to number one on billboard charts???????HOW THE FUCK DRAKE ISNT NUMBER ONE????70s one this time cause they cheating.

so its obvious that this list isn’t based on lyrical abilities or skill, its who’s making the most noise at the moment. if this is the case how come 2 chainz isn’t on this list, he’s on a new song or remix like 2 times a week. i mean i feel like he’s been making hella noise for a minute now
Rick Ross Net Worth – 20 million

Homie when did having 20 million become something to have a moment of silence for, I hope you are joking right. How many people do u know that even make over 100 grand a year
I think 50 is more than 250m….He should be close to 450m. Btw GRODT and Masarce, he was already around 100m. Made nearly 200m in 08….and continue making money. He should be around 400-450!
in no particular order

drake

kendrick lamar

2chains.XV.Slaughterhouse.Royce Da 5’9.Joe Budden.Joell Ortiz.Crooked I.Snoop Dogg.Nipsey Hussle.Vado.Cory Gunz
If I did on what was the hottest rapper based on my observation (not best rappers btw), here it would be:
1. Drake
2. Kanye West
3. Jay-Z
4. Rick Ross
5. J. Cole
6. Wiz Khalifa
7. Big Sean
8. Wale
9. Lupe Fiasco
10. Mac Miller
Most of the rappers people here wanna use is either regional rappers, underground rappers or mixtape rappers which doesn’t fit the criteria of being the “hottest” rapper right now.
Like don’t be putting guys like Kendrick Lamar, Big K.R.I.T., Tyler The Creator or even Immortal Technique on this list when they hardly have a big fanbase to support them unless they have a breakthrough single of course. Sure it may mean they are sellouts but that’s how the industry is. Tupac would easily top the list in 1996 since he had a breakthrough album before his tragic death the same year. It’s based on who the social networks often talk about.
K-DOT AND BIG KRIT HAVE BIGGER FAN BASES THAN WALE,BIG SEAN AND MAC MILLER? SO WTF POINT DO YOU MAKE
ALSO YOU KNOW WHY J BORING DON’T WIN ANYTHING THIS YEAR BECAUSE HE LAME LIKE YOUR LIST
K. Dot & Big K.R.I.T are bigger? IF they were, how come they didn’t shit in the Billboard Charts or even make radio music? Don’t give me the bs argument about sales don’t matter, this is the hottest rapper list after all. Wale was on ESPN, being promoted the hell out of Maybach Music and had two singles even if they had Jeremih and Miguel. Also featured on the Waka Flocka Flame single which got popular in 2011. Big Sean has 3 singles on the rap charts all charted high and even with a terrible song like that Ass song, he still managed to get more hype. As for Mac Miller, he did something K Dot and Big KRIT couldn’t do, get a number 1 album while on an independent label. Kendrick only has hype in LA and even though I’m from LA, hardly any people know who he is. Don’t get me started on Big KRIT, he’s only relevant in the South. The guys listed above are popular toward majority of the masses I’ve meet in college, high schools and even women. J. Boring? J. Cole is the only reason why Kendrick Lamar’s HiiiPower even had hype in the first place.
this list is as pathetic as any, but eminem? where is he?
Damn everyone all butt hurts smh….Y’all act like your brother died or something lmao….. It was a injustice to hiphop that lamar was left off and j.cole should crack the top 5 atleast smh….As far as ross goes it is what it is……He is getting crazy co-signs from your favorite rapper and producer….I am okay with the list. good day

8) Common
7) Big L
6) Jay-Z
5) Big
4) Emimem
3) KRS-One
2) Rakim
1) Nas
Anyone on this list will rip the entire MTV top ten…..Chuuuuuuuch!
SORRY BUT YOUR LIST IS WRONG MOST ALL OF THOSE RAPPER HAVE NOT DONE SHIT IN THE LAST 5 OR SO YEARS …………ITS 2012 NOT 1995
LOL at that niggas list. Right on the only one relevant in the mainstream in the last 5 years is Em. Niggas don’t read or what its the hottest mcs right now. The Bawse hate or love it is the most buzzed rapper out right now.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eminem dropped “Hell: The Sequel” with Royce da 5’9″ last year & he’s working on Slaughterhouse’s Shady debut “Welcome To: Our House”.
KRS-One just recently dropped an album called “The BDP Album”.
Common just dropped “The Dreamer/The Believer” last December.
Jay-Z dropped “Watch the Throne” last year & there’s rumors about “Watch the Throne 2” & another upcoming solo album he’ll probably drop sometime later on, if he so chooses to.
Nas dropped “Untitled” in ’08, “Distant Relatives”, a collab album with Damian Marley in ’10 & he’s planning on releasing “Life Is Good” this year.
Rakim put out “Seventh Seal” in ’09.
Kool G Rap’s dropping a collaborative album with Necro in the near future, and another one with The Alchemist.
LL Cool J dropped “Exit 13” back in ’08.
Of course Big L & Biggie haven’t done anything in the past 5 years. They’ve been dead for 11-13 years.
Just based on all of this information, with the exception of 3, they’ve been putting out work in the 2000’s & not just in the 90’s.
Just because YOU don’t pay attention to what certain emcees are doing (especially those from the 90’s), what they’ve been doing recently & what they’re planning on doing in the near future doesn’t mean that they’re irrelevant.
You need to do your research before you make yourself look like a complete, ignorant retard. The truth hurts, doesn’t it?
@the nigga above me
You need to do ur research, just cuz niggas release albums don’t mean they the hottest mcs. KRS may have released a last year but guess what, nobody bought it, just like all the other niggas you pointed out on ur list. Nas is bankrupt, Common faked a beef, Jay still relevant, LL hasn’t done shit, G rap is the dude known to smack around superhead, Big L & Big are dead, Rakim lazy so shut the fuck up, none of them deserve to be on the hottest list other than hov. Fact
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the exception of Jay-Z already being on the list, could you please point out to me where I said those artists should’ve been on The Hottest MC list?
Huh? Can you?
No you can’t, cause I never said that anything remotely close to that. I pointed out TRUTH HURT’s post about most of those rappers haven’t done anything in the past 5 years, which the majority of it is completely false.
I don’t know where you get the thought that I wanted those 10 rappers on Cee’s list to be put on MTV’s list. I’ve never said that you damn moron. Maybe it’s because of your ignorance or stupidity, I’m not really sure.
Am I saying Cee’s list is accurate? Absolutely not. I think Rick Ross is horrible but I’ll agree that he’s the hottest rapper in the game right now. Rapper, not emcee.
But does that mean he’s even remotely good? In my opinion, hell no. But if I were to like rappers who are incredibly arrogant, obviously fake, most of their subject matter is just based on materialistic shit, and not saying anything in depth or anything that people can relate to, then I’d love Rick Ross.
Whatever. There’s no point in communicating to some dude that’s dick riding a hot-at-the-moment, sub par rapper.
@ricky rozay ..first off dude that put the list is saying that any 1 of those MCs would destroy anyone on MTVs current list..hes just pointing out how awful this list is
Agree with you 100%, this list is dope. & any of them would kill the fake ass artists that are on the MTV list.
@RICKY ROZAY SADLY PROVED MY POINT I SAID THEY HAVE NOT DONE SHIT BECAUSE IN THE LAST 5 YEARS THEY ARE IRREVERENT EXPECT EM JAY AND MAYBE COMMON SO MAKE A BETTER LIST DUMB ASS ITS 2012 NOT 1995
BTW….u can add Kane, Andre 3000, Black Thought, and Busta Rhymes 2 this list
Kane??
lol an ex correctional officer is crowned the hottest MC of the game lol. the rap game is definitely messed up.
ALMOS’ 400 COMMENTS ON THIS BULLSH!T. AND U WONDER Y I CALL Y’ALL MEDIA HO’S? MTV PIMPED U OUT AND Y’ALL DONE SPREAD THE LIST VD ALL OVER THE BLOCK.
MTV Is owned by Viacom. They are a multimedia conglomerate. they play and rerun certain artist that they knoew will make money for them and the music industry to keep the flow of things natural. things being money. This list is true. MMG YM and ROC are the only ones on the list for a reason.
Very astute point. Which is exactly why no one should look to MTV to authenticate our culture.
ROTFLI love how Tech N9ne’s not even on the list. LMAO
MTV never repped the streets! Fuck MTV fuck the mainstream media!
co sign
jcole sold more than 5 people on the list and he didnt make top 10?…these people are idiots…they said kanye lacks substance?…wayne has had no substance since 08…smh
They can’t be serious , if FABOLOUS don’t make the list, there is no list
THAT IS FUCKING BULLSHIT. Kanye should have won first place. He had a buzz ALL of 2011 that CONTINUED from 2010. Fucking MTV…
What about Fire From The Group “Breathe Life”.That “Babylon Is Falling” had the whole southeast on lock.
Keep hatin lames. Rozay already ethered ur two favorite rappers, the snitch and the fake drug dealer. I said it a year ago, the Bawse hottest nigga in teh game.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No he is the Fattest/Wackest MC of 2012…Fuckin Joking right.Mr JellyCreamin….Really….MTV has completely imploded….Lame
Hey word “HOTTEST” in the game as of right now. Their not talking about record sales, or none of that. Their saying who’s the hottest right now. I think thats a pretty good list dispite J.cole and K.Lamar not in it.
Check me out @ ReLLMzuik.com
I meant ***key word***
Wow fucking sad no Kendrick, no Tech, no J Cole, no Big Krit…I know MTV usually awards mainstream garbage but this is over the top..its as if they said if u can rap u cant be a Hot MC..this shit is awful
Real Shit How Meek Mills Make The List With No Album No Lloyd Banks On The list No Kendrick No J.cole Its A Whole Lotta Sucking Going On In Rap Thats All
Number 4 & 5 on the list make me hate rap music.
numbers 1-10 make me hate rap music
the list is garbage

This is BS they talk about “O Rick Ross sold so much” Cole about 100,000 away from Rick Ross 628,000 sold for his last album a year ago. Man I know J.Cole and K.Dot deserve this weak as list, but 10 years from now we’ll all see who the masters are.

Wale
J.Cole
Jay-Z
Kendrick Lamar
Drake
Kanye West
Big Sean
Eminem

Rick Ross
Album sales matter, but when your name is lil wayne and you come to the point in your career where you can put out bullshit and these people buy it doesnt. jay-z is consistent. Never will it be another artist who sales 11 platnium records in a row unless its kanye or j.cole which is on his way to 1 mill be the end of the year. “you hate before you played I already forgave you”-J.Cole.
1.take ur K.Dot faggot and shove it up ur ass 2.Wale,Ross and Drake has no place in there
This list is bs the top 3 should be L.O.X. Mutha fuckers or at lest kiss nd sp
Nobody on this list is better then them.
I think they got mistaken that list for the queerest mcees
HAHAHAAH WORD FUUKN WACK RAPPERS
Solja boy would suit this top 10 and gucci mane and waka fakakaka hahahhaha fukn
HIP HOP IS DEAD…..
http://www.youtube.com/user/cedpooh38
yes hip-hop is dead because of cunts like them and this faggot’s youtube channel
WHAT? officer ricky is still alive? 50 finished this clown ass fool already
@ricky rozay stan, ricky cant sell 1mil records, now can he?
GRODT>any rozay album
Nigga you lame. Most rappers dont even go platinum now. Where 50 at? I aint heard nuttin from that nigga cuz Ross ended his career. That nigga cant even get a solid album released. Oh by the way his last 2 albums flopped.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shut up fat bawse
I think wiz khalifa had a hotter year then Big Sean. Also why the hell is Wale on that list he doesn’t even sell records. Lupe Fiasco had a good year last year. He should atleast be number 10.
wale sold more than big sean fool!!
I don’t even know why MTV does this list every year, they have absolutely no clout. I don’t want to live on the same planet with people who would put Rick Ross, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj and Wiz Khalifa on a list of “Hottest MCs”.
MTV should not make that list ever again. they know nothing. look at this fucking faggot

I hate MTV. Shows to much pop, takes bribes (4 out of top 5 are YM, no Eminem, no J. Cole, no SLAUUUUGHTERHOOUUSE!

agreed
go download thhttp://theverbalist.bandcamp.com/is mixtape
**News Flash** All the hating is not working. Ross has made his mark so get over it and go listen to your favorite rappper!I cant believe Rozay got so many dudes panties in a bunch, please pull your skirts down people. These comments are hilarious
there’s this faggot on YT who is overjoyed by this. his username is cedpooh38. he is 35 years old and is a southerner who currently lives in florida. he’s the biggest fuckin dickrider for the following reasons:
he dickrides young money, gucci mane, waka flocka, rick ross, etc like nobody you’ve ever seen before. this cunt is worse than all the justin bieber, lady gaga and twilight fans COMBINED! he only dickrides these faggots due to their record sales and popularity. he thinks nas has accomplished nothing and that illmatic is only a classic in NY and he doesnt consider it a classic cuz it didnt sell a million units in the first week. to him, lil wayne is perfect and can do no wrong. he is worse than YESSIR (or maybe it is him)
“Did shit get lifeless

They need to put Danny Brown and Mr Mutherfuckin Xquire on this list cause they had one hell of a year from an underground perspective.
You really want to tell me Wiz, Wale, Meek, Big Sean….all had a better year than Eminem ?? Em paved the way for Hip hop with Recovery. Before his comeback, Rap sales was nearly 50% down. He came back and rap sales went up nearly 15%. These clowns better be glad their albums sold 200k copies.
really shit list hey…wake the fuck up
Biggest crock of shit ever! Ross is a poor imitation of 50 Cent, and he has one of the worst voices in rap history. Pathetic list, and I would expect more from this site.
Ross raps in slow motion, and he has no business on this list.
Ross relies on image and marketing, not mic skills. He is NOT, repeat, NOT, HIP-HOP!!! FUCK!!!!
Real list-
1-Eminem
2- Kanye West
3- J cole
4- Kendrick Lamar
5- Wale
6-Meek Mill
7-Big sean
8- Slaughterhouse
9-Lupe Fiasco
10- Drake
haha not the real list.. the list is on the news asshole. RICK ROSS THE BAWSE
Hey Mikkel, I guess you believe eveything you’re told on the news, HAHAHAHA! Fucking sheep!!
I would say the hottest mc’s of 2011 were:
Kendrick Lamar (Section.80)
Freddie Gibbs (blew up with his mixtape, hooked up with Madlib)
Evidence (made kinda a comeback with Cats & Dogs)
Common (Comeback of the Year)
ASAP Rocky
Yelawolf (made a dope, original album)
Big Sean (he finally famous)
fuck a top ten, I’m stopping
Dumb fool !!!!
Second anon, fuck yo momma!
I find it funny that the hottest MC can only sell tickets for a concert at the small Hammerstein Ballroom. Concerts are an indication of how well your doing and who is listening to your music. Rick Ross can’t sell a place like Madison Square Garden. Why, because he’s not interesting enough.
Ross can’t sell out 2,000 capacity. I won’t pay 10 bucks to see ross perform.
good rap music ain’t dead, it’s just underground…for some reason the mainstream is all about deploying the wack shit right now…many unknown reasons like: labels pressuring artists to drop repetitive “dumb downed” songs (big sean anyone?), targeted demographics like specifically young single women (looking at you, drake), payolas, death of the CD causing artist to have albums work driven by singles/chart toppers for the sake of accumulating maximum number of digital downloads, etc etc
remember the good old days when you impatiently ripped through all the plastic and sealed tape to open the CD cover, popped in the new shiny CD into the player, volume full blast, and the first words you hear are, “this is another public service announcement brought to you in part by…”
i miss those days
Yeah….I really miss those days as well.
Those were the days my friend and we thought they would never end… Damn I miss HipHop
out of all the new cats out today, Yelawolf was the best, I actually went to the store and bought his album. It was something original, too many features but its a solid album…
waitin on the new WU & DMX REAL HIP HOP!
does any1 on here even care wat MTV says??? we dont even listen to 80% of what they play.
Kendrick J-cole Crooked-I T*U*A MFDOOM Madlib ect All Day oh and 3stacks ofcourse
yo this dude is right Mtv can is gay as fuck mf doom and T*U*A selective retention all day
what is the lst made on be-half of’???
what is most bangin’ song j.cole aint in the list’ jay-z did his thing ’em did his thing’
kanyezee did his thing’ even wayne made some songs to listen to even though’ he sounds dumber sometimes’ bt. ricky ross man wtf

-Stop crying- this guy said MC’s that are better than Rick Ross. not who’s Hot. fuck MTV and there shit list.
I’m surprised Wale made this list
I’m sure MTV’s criteria was based on commercial success, in that vain this could never be a list of the hottest MC’s
this nigga aint even a mc
the list is ok considering what has been put out in the last couple years… ross has been killing the game lately. i am glad to see that wayne or eminem aint number 1 and number 2… MTV did a good job but i still wanted to see the game and cole on that list tho
Yeah so I just put all of my thoughts on this year’s list right here >> http://gentlemanredux.com/blog/2012/02/21/mtvs-hottest-mcs-in-the-game-list-over-the-years/
It’s not all bad… It just isn’t all that good either.

Rick Ross will never be as good an MC as Nas, Game, Ghostface (infact most the WU), Techn9, Common, J.Cole, T.I. Jada etc etc so who cares if he gets called hot.
He was a probation officer, which he lied about. And he has mini heart attacks in his mid 30s lol #FAIL
Truth… How I live off residuals? Cuz right now the game is PITIFUL #Jada
Nas, Eminem, ANYONE from WTC… this list is for 13 year old girls

Tyler, the Creator & Odd future
J.Cole
even Lil’ B
I bet once Ross gets the new album out they’ll be alot of people co-signing MTV’s list. Other than Em, Wayne, Jay and maybe T.I., what other rapper is everywhere you look? Someone like J. Cole may have more lyrical ability, but will he be around five albums from now? Probably not.
Not in order
1.Lupe Fiasco
2.Nas
3.Common
4.Immortal technique
5.Last emperor
6.Andre 300
7.Q-tip
8.Jean Grae
9.Mos def
10.Brother Ali
And this is just in America! ^ the some of the few rapper staying to hip hops true roots!
fuck out of here. the only one ill salute to is Nas cause i liked his 08 and 10 alum for a while. everything he produced before that is garbage including that old ass hip hop scripture called illmatic. and Nas did a song with Rozay and it was hot !! those under ground artist i never heard of garbage especially common and immortal technique. yall can keep listening to that bullshit but Im on that Base world shit.
Truth, it sounds like you’re a sheep
Also, how can tyou fucking call the artist you’ve never heard or listened to garbage you dumb motherfucker!? Andre 3000 is a legend you dumb fuck!
Dumb as fuck! Fuck your generation, there are a few who are smart and arent sheep but ones like you, fuck yall!
If this is a list for this year then none of the people bar common deserve to be on the list
2 Chainz should be number 8
2 Chainz over Wiz Khalifa
that list is accurate. im bumping all that shit, except nicki minaj and meek mill. put J.Cole and Lil B for those 2 and thats a %100 accurate list. if u are not bumping that shit u are a fggot. str8 up.
YOU GUYS ARE FRAUDS !! ALL OF YOUR SHITTY UNDERGROUND RAPPERS WOULD CROSS OVER IN A HEART BEAT. J.COLE IS THE MAN BUT FOR ALL U DRAKE HATERS HE DID A SONG WITH HIM #JUSTSAYING. AND J.COLE IS COOL WITH EVERYONE ON THAT LIST. BASEDGOD SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 THOUGH. GET HIS NEW GODFATHER MIXTAPE #SWAG #WHOOP.

No Gibbs, Kendrick, Cole, or Krit, yet they include fuckin Mill and Wale. Fuck MTV
FUK MTV traitorous asswholes. For a music channel they have no taste in music. all these artists are waste, just because you make things that sound good doesnt mean it deserves a place. As for kids these dont know real music is they supporting these fags. If your seeing Rick Ross on the top of a 10 list you know there is something wrong. If you like sellouts, this is best list for you.
The only way Rick Ross is close to being a top 10 MC is that he sounds a little bit like Scarface.
This list is retarded
nigors who still think 50 cent is better rapper than rozay i think u got ur answer.
