Wale Is #10 on MTV’s ‘Hottest MCs In the Game VII’ List
Posted by Mr.North under headcrack , hmmm....? , interview[10] Comments
Coming back better and even more hungrier in 2010, Wale carried that same drive into 2011. His focus and relentless grind worked, signing with Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group, and his sophomore album Ambition debuting at #2 on the charts. Those notable feats plus successful singles on the charts lands Wale at #10 on MTV’s “Hottest MCs in the Game VII” list. Watch the panel make their case for Wale above, and read their criteria breakdown below.
The criteria to be considered a Hottest MC are based on a combination of impact, buzz, sales, lyrics, swag and the intangibles

I dont think so.. J.Cole came out with some classic cuts but his process was so fucking disregulated due to Jazzy’s bullshit that it diidnt have the full effect it should have…
I like Wale but his shit dont really do nothing for me.. So J.Cole gets the nod over that other shit!

You have to seperate hottest now from just the biggest most active names now..If you do that then at this moment..
1. Drake
2. Rick Ross
3. Meek Millz
4. 2 Chains
5. Lil Wayne
6. Wiz
7. ASAP Rocky
8. Kanye
9. J. Cole
10. Lloyd Banks
11. French Montana
Now if its who are the most popular semi active rappers in the world right now the list looks like this..
Eminem
Kanye West
Lil Wayne
Jay-Z
50 Cent
Rick Ross
Drake
T.I.
J. Cole
Meek Millz
2 Chains
But they always fuck it up so lets see what they figure it out..

if you go hottest know you have to go kanye and jay-z
there was nothing with big impact than wtt
it made wanye change his mind about doing cd with drake
and made every other rapper talking about doing something like
the tour was like nothing seeing in hiphop
and kanye took every awards at the Grammy
his album was the top ratted album of the year
and let not talk about all moves they have made outside of music

This list is going to be garbage. I think its just used to stir controversy and get people on the forums talking. Make it a real list and bring in 10 judges (former or elder artists) 2 from the South, 2 from the East coast, 2 from the West Coast, 2 from middle America, and 2 from Overseas then pick a real list.

I agree Wale should be on the list…no opinion as yet what number he should be…however I also think J Cole rightfully deserves to be on this list..
Jay Z gave him minimal push and he has managed to have a gold album with a platinum single..also has many features plus currently two songs in heavy rotation from his album…
At the end of the day..you take this list with a grain of salt because the same reason these fools make for putting someone on the list will be the same reason they make to keep someone off…
I bet u meek mills will place high as hell on this list with no album out..however someone who proves they are stong in the mixtape game and sold a successful album gets left off the list…
now dont get me wrong..I think meek should make the list as well..because he is definately hot…just dont think he deserves to be as high as they are going to place him.
