MTV’s Hottest MCs In The Game : The Top 10

After "The Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time," "The Greatest MCs ofAll Time" and "The Greatest Hip-Hop Groups Of All Time," the MTV News hip-hop brain trust — hate ’em or love ’em — went back to the infamous round table and decided upon another list.

Yes, the same type of list that our pick for the #1 MC of all time, Jay-Z, told you not to get mad at him about in Beyoncé’s "Deja Vu" ! This time is way different from the previous adventures : Rather than analyzing the "Greatest of All Time," we decided to break down what’s going on today — as in not now, but right now ! We looked at the work of the most prominent MCs of the past year or so and factored in the following : straight-up skills, success (both musical and entrepreneurial), impact on the game and — new to our decision-making — swagger : an MC’s cool factor and how they carry themselves on and off recordings.

MTV’s panel has released their top 10 list again this year :

01. Kanye West is #1 this year after his successful Graduation album and Grow In The Dark Tour

02. Jay-Z Might Not Care, But He’s Still on the top hottest MCs in the game

03. Lil Wayne Didn’t Reclaim The ’Hottest MCs In The Game’ Crown, But Checks In At A Respectable #3

04. Rick Ross Bosses Up To #4

05. Snoop Dogg’s Widespread Appeal Makes Him the #5 ’Hottest MC In The Game’

06. 50 Cent gets Money And The List’s #6 Spot

07. Lupe Fiasco Rises From Nowhere On Last Year’s List To This Year’s #7

08. The List Rolls On With Young Jeezy At #8

09. The List Heats Up With the #9 Selection, Outkast’s Andre 3000

10. Even After T.I.’s Tough Year, He’s Still in the top 10 Hottest MCs In The Game

the game isnt on the list because hes not doin anything big right now, and hes kinda some trash, maybe if he stops name droppin in every song he can be considered a decent MC. he was only hot because 50 brought him up and then because of his beefs with people, besides his certified gangsta cameo he never been noticed for his rapping
