Lil Wayne = Hottest MC in the Game?

10. Jim Jones
9. Common
8. 50 Cent
7. Jay-Z
6. Young Jeezy
5. Kanye West
4. Andre 3000
3. The Game
2. T.I.
1. Lil Wayne

tblanx Says:
throughout the entire piece on MTV2 you could tell that Sway was ashamed to be hosting this… he kept having to clear his name and also emphasize “Hottest in the Game, RIGHT NOW” and “Swag counts just as much as lyrics today for you to be hot”

Big Homie Says:
Big moves with the new move. Added ya to my blog roll.
I have to say this list is pretty much okay with who is hot in the game right now. MTV is known to have a busted list and the ordering of this one is off a lil. Where is Fab, Snoop, and Luda though?

esbee Says:
congrats riz..
dunno what ppl expected from an mtv list. but Sean P on an Mtv list would be unprecedented.
I agree with their #1 choice though mainstream-wise…Nas however should’ve been on the list..

J to the AAP Says:
Don’t wanna sound like a Stan excluding Nas on a list like this invalidates the whole thing. I’m honestly not even surprised by this list though. Welcome to hiphop in the ‘07, who needs lyrics?
We as an audience should be harder on dudes like Sway, here’s a dude that you know knows better but rides along with the shitty circus. Stop accepting crap. There is no excuse for mediocrity or anything less (well, maybe there was one time for NORE, he was sorry, but his pops just died). Anyway, I gotta log off now on before I start getting my Pimp C on.

Nice move btw, good look.

esbee Says:
well J, Sway can’t afford to lose his job and him and Tech still got their show out in Cali where they support the stuff we like no?

Johnblizzo Says:
WOW!!!! lol……hilarious! what a disgrace to hip hop……what is swag???? something to cover up the lack of mc credibility? If we’re talking mainstream then why isnt Nas on this list? Hell Busta rhymes at least!!!

Trev Dolla Says:
this list is stupid as soon as they put jim jones on the top 10…everyone else deserves to be there but they gotta reorder like crazy

J to the AAP Says:
@esbee: that’s true. I tend to forget that since Tech & Sway don’t broadcast over here in Europe so I only see/hear him when crap like this comes up. But that sure is a crappy job when you have to comprimise yourself on that level, I’d be searching the wanted ads.

Gezzius Christ Says:
WTF?!?! I feel for Common just being associated with this in-credible list - it’s like they asked some random teenage girl who listens to this music only to annoy her parents, who she thinks is the hottest in the game right now, and this what she came up with!!! Jokes!
J to the AAP Says: “There is no excuse for mediocrity or anything less (well, maybe there was one time for NORE, he was sorry, but his pops just died).”—>HAHAHAHA!!!

esbee Says:
@ Belize: truss’ I too would want more substance from MTV, but I think we honestly cannot hope for Viacom to bring balance back to hip hop. I think that really rests on us, the fans, audience and artists involved.

esbee Says:
LOL @ J…I wouldn’t want to be Sway doing/putting that list out.

Rim Says:
Big ups to Wayne but sorry b. This list is a big JOKE! I mean four out of ten i can see. Wayne, Jay, Andre 3K, 50 on a good day; the rest is ridiculus! What ever happened to Fabolous. Hip Hop needs to come back just alittle bit to the lyrics. We might mess around and find Soulja Boy in the next list. WTF!!!

Donny F Says:
Sad thing is there are a gang of people who deep in their jedi-mined hearts think Jim Jones should’ve placed higher.

Dont get me started on Jimmy

Viacom is satan’s lil midget

ZalesOne Says:
Sway went from hosting a dope radio show to becoming the pissed off host of a show where a bunch of numb skulls gas up whack rappers. Ghostface got a honorable mention? He kills that whole list. Sean P and Joell Ortiz have been doing it among many other and they ain’t even getting play.

Raj T Says:
I think its fair to say, this is strictly for the commercial audiences, the mtv and bet audiences. i feel bad for common to be mentioned in the name of those “MCs”. The real hip hop heads know, that this is all b.s. Make hip hop, not bullshit.

moses the satire of a legend Says:
B. Davis ure a retard Kanye west, Lupe and u hav ethe audacity to talk about MTV. And all yall whiners, Lil wayne is sick he is prolly going to end up in the top best three lyricist ever if you took his verses and compared it to all the greats, punch lines and all. I personally thought Nas was the greatest MC ever, but i think its loyalty more than anything, JayZ shouldnt be on the list, if he werent jayzhe wouldnt be on tha list for all his garbage remixes, T.I is like a nelly hell be gone in a couple more years….

C, the King. Says:
10. Jim Jones (fuck no)
9. Common (sure)
8. 50 Cent (….)
7. Jay-Z (only #7?)
6. Young Jeezy (da fuck?)
5. Kanye West (okay)
4. Andre 3000 (should be higher)
3. The Game (should be lower)
2. T.I. (should be way lower)
1. Lil Wayne (I agree)
50 cent, Jimmy, and Jeezy shouldn’t be on the list at all. Well, Jeezy should be #10 at least. But really now, where’s the fuck is Snoop? Big Boi is better then half the people on the list and Chamillionaire should be number 2 (or #1 for that matter).
