MTV's Hottest MCs In The Game 2009
The Top 10 List
#10- Raekwon
#9- 50 Cent
#8- Fabolous
#7- Young Jeezy
#6- Gucci Mane
#5- Rick Ross
#4- ??
#3- ??
#2- ??
#1- ??
So we got 4 spots left. If it was me I'd like to put Kid Cudi up
there somewhere but I highly doubt MTV would grant him
such a thing. I can see #4 Eminem, #3 Kanye West/Lil Wayne,
#2 Drake, #1 Jay-Z.
Those are not my personal picks but I can definitely see it happening.
I can't believe [actually everybody can't believe] Rick Ross is
in top 5. I think Loso should've been #5.
This is what MTV is judging them on:
From MTV:
The criteria is based on a combination of rhyme skill, flow and how those things are implemented musically as the main factors. The Brain Trust also considers buzz, impact, commercial success — sales, airplay, business ventures, Web presence, endorsements and helping to spawn other artists' careers — and the intangible, impact: Can an artist not only contribute to the rap game but influence cultural shifts? Are they trendsetters? All of these factors — and the results of our audience poll, which closed last week and gets a vote at the Round Table during the Brain Trust's debate — contribute to deciding who is the Hottest MC in the Game.
