With Meek Mill, Future, A$AP Rocky, Kanye West and Big Sean all seeded, Drake comes in at the 5 spot on MTV’s Hottest MCs in the Game list. Despite not releasing a new project in 2012, the YMCMB rapper stayed hot with appearances on some of 2012′s biggest hits: 2 Chainz’s “No Lie,” French Montana’s “Pop That” and A$AP Rocky’s “F**kin’ Problems” to name just a few. Coupled with his polarizing new single, “Started From The Bottom,” it’s no surprise that Drizzy gets the nod for another year running.

remember Hip-Hop heads this is “MTV’s” top 10 MC’s in the game and MTV stands for Music TeleVision so if you don’t have music on “their” television your not “hot”.
Here’s MY list (remember we are talking about M.C’s)
1. NAS (Life Is Good)
2. KENDRICK LAMAR (Good Kid, M.A.A.D city)
3. Lupe Fiasco (Food and Liquor 2)
4. JOEY BADA$$ (1999 mixtape)
5. FABOLOUS (The S.O.U.L Tape 2)
6. MEEK MILL (Dream Chasers 2, Dream and Nightmares)
7. Styles P (The Worlds Most Hardest MC Project)
8. 50 CENT (5 Murder By Numbers)
9. Jadakiss (Consignment mixtape)
10. Lloyd Banks (V6 mixtape)
Agree or argue amongst yourselves.
Matter of fact make your own list…YOU the listener defines the culture not MTV.
PEACE

Curren$y (Stoned Immaculate)
Freddie Gibbs (Baby Face Killa)

Yea I was sorta thinking the same thing! 5 is too low for that kid at least 2 if not 1… the next 4 names will be interesting..Wayne cant be hotter than drake without dropping an album in 2yrs..Jay-Z not hotter than Kanye so he shouldnt be on the list that high, tip’s troubled man was hot but didnt move the way drakes moved,,, its going to be interesting..

This list is bullshit by default. Drake should at least be in the top 3.

The joker card will be Trinidad James, top 3. Don’t believe me? Jus watch.
If he gets higher than KDot or Nas MTV needs a kick in the nuts.

So with 4 spots left, and arguably 6-8 guys, who gets in?
2Chainz, Kendrick,Pusha, and Wayne?
Does Hov get a look? TI? Jeezy?
Will Ross inexplicably be included?

Drake would’ve been number 1 had it not been for the Chris Brown incident I guarantee you. He was on a roll with his gangster flow (which yielded funny results eg. Common)
