@ Blu, Am not sure what your askin me but I went with the hot MC’s who I listen to and who give me that fire.

As for Lil Wayne he’s put out so much material that I can pick songs from his catalogue and make a classic album.

I think it takes talent to create a project and talent to bring song to life.

Plus Jim Jones would have been on that list for swagger and hood classics such as “Certified Gangsters” “We Fly High” “Summer wit’ Miami” “Weatherman” “Emotionless” I dnt care if he’s got beef wit Jay or Cam I listen to all 3 dudes.

Ugh….why does MTV bother. Funny thing is, no one woulda gave to sh*ts about this list had 50 not said anything. So on that alone fif should move up the list. LOL Plus fif’s mixtapes have been fire. And I agree, if Gucci Mane or Soulja Boy are on that list I’ll join you in the glass of drano. Oh and Wayne altho has all the buzz right now, has not put out an album yet and should not be #1 again. He should be at least bumped to #2. I think Ye is gonna be #1 based on his album sales last year, even tho Lupe is actually the better MC than him imo.

These clowns on the panel are not capable of picking the top 10 hip hop artist. Get some real talent on the panel, they sound like nerds and metro sexuals. Hip Hop is and will forever be the voice of the streets, and those dudes are not from or are far removed from the streets. This list is trash, How can u even mention solda boy lol. MTV get a new panel, your list is trash.

What is this based on singles or albums? Live concerts? Dress code? Swagger, interviews? Radio spins realistically it should be all.

Out of that list:

1.Lil Wayne (Bars for days,crazy mixtapes hot music)Carter III is gonna be fire. Classic BET debut for Gossip+Dufflebag boy

2.Jay-Z (Yup! We The DopeBoys of the Year!)American Gangster plus Heart of the City tour.Helicopter Swag

3.50 Cent ( I get money, plus Both mixtapes, business man)5 Borough tour.Pontiac venture, vitamin water.

4.Styles P aka The Phantom(Hard body lyrics all the time)Classic album Gangster & a Gentleman.Crazy mixtapes Angie Interviews always crazy legendary Akon collabo’s

5.Rick Ross (Trilla adds to my Maybach music collection)Port of Miami + Trilla plus DJ Khaled mixtapes = Fire

6.Fabolous (Diamonds on my chain, Make me better)Unique flow, fresh music all the time.

7. Prodigy HNIC2 is crazy,The mixtape game before that Return of the Mac, Hood music nuthin commercial about him.

8.Game Crazy mixtapes, especially collabo with Snoop Dogg, Snoop could have been hire but the last project was a bit out there.

9.Snoop Dogg holdin down the West Coast and still being relevant every year.

10.Kanye West. because I can put his music on in the car with my moms and not panic that someone is gonna get shot or called a whore.

Webbie, Rocko,Shawty Lo, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane hahahhahah ahhh mann? Whut? My stomach hurts, I need air!!

Lupe fiasco, Andre 3000 are dope but will never make an album i can rock to plus their dress code is out there too especially Andre 3000.

A lot of ya’ll don’t understand the difference between what’s “hot” and who’s the “best”. Yes, guys like Andre 3000, Joe Budden, Common, Lupe, etc. are gonna be over looked but that cuz they’re not “hot” right now. These lists are going by who’s getting more air play, whats selling, and whats popular at the moment (i.e. Hot). I mean if you look at MTV’s G.O.A.T. list and they’re who’s the hottest list, they’re completely different. I’m not defending MTV I’m just stating the obvious.
