MTV’s Hottest MCs In The Game 2009 [Video]

Even though MTV dropped the full list on Sunday, I’m still playing catch up (As you can tell from the lack of posts I been kinda busy). Of course Eminem not making the list jumps out at most people; Relapse sold 600,000 in it’s first week, I think that probably should be considered hot (Em is definitely hotter that Raekwon). Here’s the full list and the videos. What do you think? Sidenote: I told you idiots Jay-Z would top the list!

1. Jay-Z

2. Lil’ Wayne

3. Drake

4. Kanye West

5. Rick Ross

6. Gucci Mane

7. Young Jeezy

8. Fabolous

9. 50 Cent

10. Raekwon

  1. MTV List = BS, period. I knew this list was off when I saw Gucci Mane placed above Raekwon. I mean, the only one comparable to The Chef is Jigga. This list cannot just be based off of successful albums either when you think about it; OB4CL2 is definitely a banger but there really has been no commercial promotion for the album. Drake hasn’t even released an album so this list cannot logically be based on success in the game. I hope they are not going by lyrics either because this list is just ridiculous. It’s like they threw some rappers’ names in a hat and reached in and pulled out some of the names. Crazy

  2. No T.I. and no Em is bullshit. Ross at 5, Wayne at 2, and Jeezy on the list is ridiculous. Jeezy hasn’t done shit all year, Wayne has barley did anything, and Ross should be 9 at best.

    1. TI isnt on the list cus hes locked up…he aint do nuthin but sit on house arrest and maaaaaad hrs of community service.

      1. T.I. is still hotter than the majority of the list even though he is locked up. This list is suppose to be from the past year. T.I. had the best album in that time span, sold a lot, had super high charting singles, and laid heat on another people’s tracks. “Ain’t I,” “day dreaming,” “wish you would,” “just like me,” “hi hater remix,” etc. He even had mixtapes. Before the list came out, I would have been shocked to not see T.I. in the top 3 but him not being on it at all is just plain bs.

  3. Man just because Em dropped a hot verse on “Forever” doesn’t mean we should forget he dropped a pile of shit for an album. As for the list, mtv just sucks

    1. I liked Relapse but, the list wasn’t even about lyrics, it was about “hotness” and when you’ve got the highest selling album of the year you deserve to be on the list.

  4. 1. Jay-Z, deserves got 3 hit singles album could sell more than any other this year
    2. Lil Wayne, fake ass cunt rock star-wannabees shouldnt even be considered, especially when they stop making rap songs
    3. Drake, biggest new thing in any genre of music
    4. Kanye West, went R&B for an album, but had some big features, should go lower
    5. Rick Ross, are you fuckin kidding? album wont go gold, got exposed as being a fake ass fag, and had one significant charting song
    6. Gucci Mane, might as well put Soulja Boy and OJ da Juiceman on here
    7. Young Jeezy, had a great ’08, but that shouldn’t put him on the list this year where he hasn’t done much
    8. Fabolous, couple of hit songs, deserving of low spot
    9. 50 cent, biggest thing he’s done has put Ross on blast, and had couple flopped singles shouldn’t be here
    10. Raekwon, if your list is based off of commercial hype then why are you putting a guy with a critically acclaimed album on here that won’t sell much?

    where the fuck is Eminem and his currently highest selling rap album of the year?

    Kid Cudi had a ground breaking album and 2 big hits

    Jadakiss had a strong album without releasing anything in 5 years

    Busta Rhymes wasn’t big but is more deserving of Ross and Gucci and Raekwon if based off of popularity

    if your gonna put someone who sucks like Gucci Mane put Soulja Boy on instead who’s just as bad and has had more hype this year

  5. Relapse was bad, are you fucking stupid
    You prob got the gucci mane cd on right now this list is wack
    If they’re talking bout now they should have eminem, hov, raekwon, skyzoo, drake, kanye, not weezy unless its dedication 2 weezy, like id put asher on there if your talking about who’s hot now, currency tearin shit up, niggas is really fucking up

    1. Relapse was good and it ainnt even about that, its about success so your fuckin stupid,and Relapse is the highest selling rap album of the year so far
      and u r a fuckin dumb shit, skyzoo? he’s so underground this is about who’s hot and has had influence and comercial success, same with currensy

  6. Well they did say “Hot” MCs so the problem I have with this list is the MCs that aren’t hot. Jeezy isn’t hot right now, 50 DEFINITELY isn’t hot right now, Ye aint hot at all, and Fabolous is lukewarm right now. Everybody else is blazing right now.

  7. The list should be:

    1. Jay-Z
    2. T.I.
    3. Fabolous
    4. Eminem
    5. Kanye West
    6. Drake
    7. Jadakiss
    8. 50 Cent
    9. Gucci Mane
    10. Reakwon

    1. Or

      1. Macho Man Randy Savage
      2. Macho Man Randy Savage
      3. Macho Man Randy Savage
      4. Macho Man Randy Savage
      5. Macho Man Randy Savage
      6. Macho Man Randy Savage
      7. Macho Man Randy Savage
      8. Macho Man Randy Savage
      9. Kurtis Blow
      10. John Cena

  8. OK, here’s my list where you’ll all agree…

    Jay-Z – The king, stayin at that status, but Blueprint 3 was not at his level
    Drake – Hottest new artist in Forever…pun intended
    Kanye – Killin features and dropped 808’s and Heartbreak, that’s a good album
    Raekwon – OBFCLP2 is FIRE, Raekwon still got it
    Ludacris – Let’s not forget Theater of the Mind, that’s some good shit
    Eminem – Could be higher up, but his album was lacking, CRACK verse though!
    T.I. – In jail, but still had good tracks come out
    Fabolous – Loso’s Way had some of the year’s best production and lines
    Lil’ Wayne – Every Girl? Always Strapped? Salute? DAMN, not many hits, but…
    Busta Rhymes – OK, back on my BS was nice, and you KNOW Arab Money was nice

  9. yall know gucci one of the hottest artists this year. dudes been puttin in work. as for 50 and jeezy on that list? fuck that shit. that lists all fucked up. why is ross there? deeper then rap was a damn good album but since that he aint doin much.

    1. Nobody is really sure what this list is based on so I’m thinking this was some MTV emplyee’s personal favorites.

  10. Hov! But seriously Tip and Slim did get done dirty. Jeezy being on the list more than confirms that they are not basing it off the right this second now. Tip had a hot album, good success in the charts, and was everywhere between fall 08 winter 09. And Em currently has the highest selling rap album. I disagree, Ye is pretty hot right now (pause). And how bout Ye and Jada not being on Def Jam’s new cover? Roc Nation??

    1. How’s it going Zodiac? Still slanging homosexual terms huh? You trying to throw me a hint or something? OH NO!

  11. Not to sound redundant cuz im always talkin bout this nigga but Curren$y is someone who should be in consideration for this. The dude dropped 2 albums and around 4 mixtapes I believe….not to mention hes workin on another mixtape with Don Cannon comin soon. JETS FOOOOL!! And cant forget KiD CuDi!! Agree with Gucci gettin a spot tho…the dudes hot right now cant deny that..

    1. Buys The Jet Files and breaks ‘digital’ copy

      Curren$y drops all these digital albums that nobody buys…that’s why he’s not on the list.

  12. 1. JayZ Most #1 hit singles
    2. Lil Wayne a beast plus with crossover to ROCK big move….
    3. T.I spits FIRE err time no tats, no golds @ll da way thug
    4. Eminem How do he do it
    5. Ludacris lyrics R ridiculous
    6. Drake hot new artist
    7. Trick Daddy
    8. Lil Boosie he’s @ B@d@ss…..
    9. Gucci Mane ” GUCCI…………….”
    10. Kanye only cuz Yall Like em

    1. Fun fact, Jay-Z’s never had a #1 single. Run this town is his closest. No shots at Trick but he’s not hot right now. Neither is Luda even though his last album was very underrated.
