MTV has been losing cred as far as their opinion on music quality for a while now. The fact that Em and T.I. didn’t make this list just solidifies that. MTV has no pull on the block. I see why!

I bet a million dollars that they just saw the list of most downloaded hip hop ringtones and put it as “The Hottest MC’s”.
This disgusts me, and it shows how much MTV truly pays attention to Hip Hop.

Based on the criteria, the list is inconsistent. First they have raekwon (gr8 mc and put out a gr8 album).I don’t consider him one of the hottest today cuz his album sales weren’t that gr8, I never hear him on the radio, never see his vids on tv, and most of the newer generation of rap fans don’t knw who he is. If they have rae there, they shuldve also put mcs like busta,jada,budden,method,mos,redman but they didn’t so that’s just inconsistent. Second they counted carter 3 as material to be considered even thou it came last year. So if they count that,they shouldve aknowledged ti’s paper trail album cuz that album was both critically aclaimed and a huge commercial success. Third they have Ross who became a joke after wat 50 did to him, I’m not gonna deny the buzz he had but most of the buzz was negative. Fourth they gucci who has horrible lyrical skills. Fifth they forgot to mention em who had the most anticipated album of the year along wit blueprint 3 & carter 3, he also had arguably the best verse in the #1 rap song at the moment “forever” he also won the MTV award for best rap video. His album sold more than most mcs on the list, and it was also a very good album. He shuldve made the top 5 but the worst part is that he wasn’t on the list at all. Sixth they have drake and don’t get me wrong he definately deserves a spot, but if they are gonna put newcomers with a buzz and good material, they shuldve also put cudi & Asher Roth in there. I also think Luda shuld b there instead of fab or 50.

That list is completly fucked. MTV needs to get over Jay Z. Lil Wayne can eat a big fat dick. Kanye can eat a big fat dick. Rick Ross can eat a big fat dick. How are all those punks ahead of Eminem? Fuck them.

Yeah this is the worse hottest mc list of all time but i got to let it go cause its just an option and people have a right to it. BUT STILL HOW DO ANYONE LEAVE EMINEM OFF ANY HOOTTEST MC LIST. But like i said they have a right to a option.

Hun maybe next year we all will see eye to eye. Well conpared to this year i just hope we all get the first three right
EMINEM
LIL WAYNE
JAY-Z
In no certain order. we can disagree about the number 2 & 3 spot next year but that #1 will always be Eminem to me

mtv farked up read this from mtv
“Eminem is one of the best ever on the mic. His track record is undeniable. The Hottest list deals with right now, though. If the Brain Trust had compiled the Hottest list back in May, there’s no doubt Eminem would have made the Top 10.”

so what their really saying is this is not the hottest mc of 2009 its the hottest mc of the month and they cant denie that beacause its thier statement so MTV never do a hottest mc list of any year ever again and never get your fans to vote who they think should be the hottest beacause our votes dont count 1 bit as you say we r the 11th judge WRONG we should be the number 1 judge because we are the people who buy and listing to thier music

R.I.P MTV

This rediculous
First of all are u serious
Rick ross? and raekwon
like ur kidding
this list cant be correct
Lets start off my saying I agree with the first 2
But seriously, Im not a hip hop grat on this but,
If had put my 2 sense in it would be
1. jay z- Bluebrint 3 , Def. A great album
2. Lil Wayne-lil wayne need i say more
3. Drake- crazy consistent, lyrically good
4. Kanye west- does everything, so hot
5. Gucci maine- even if u dont like him, he is hot right now
6. Young jeazy- he could go higher because honestly he doesnt just rap, he can make a story as well
7. Fabolous - he can rab, lryically nice as shit
8. Eminem- He can rap, he came out and was anticiapted, u can hate him all u want but mc, he will eat u up
9.
9. 50 cent- he delivers
10. Jadaciss- How dare this list speak about mcs and not mention jadakiss
\But then again this is just my oppinion
