I don’t feel this list at all, Lil Wayne is hot but he’s not number (at least not yet). If we talking about being the hottest Mc right now 50 Cent has to be higher than 8, he still holds the title as the number one selling artist (who has has out sold 50 since 2004), not to mention the amount of air play this guy gets. Where the hell is fabulous at. Jay-Z is one of the greatest of all time but he’s not hot right this minute. Common should be at least number 6 just for the simple fact that he’s buzzing right now without drugs and guns B.S. in his rhymes which is hard in this climate. Jim Jones……..no comment. T.I. 2 two spot is solid.
whats your opinion?……..
7-30-2007
switch T.I. and lil wayne, jim jones is a piece of shit, he shouldnt be on the list
7-30-2007
Lil Wayne is 4 sho the hottest right now. Da Drought 3 was crazy and so were all the guest appearances he did this year and last from Chris Brown to DJ Khaled. As far as the rest of the list 3 through 10 are completely out of order. Jim Jones does not deserve a spot on the list cuz the only song he had was ballin’. His dress influenced a lot of people but that doesn’t buy him a spot on the list. They need a do over.
7-30-2007
[Hottest MC's right now]

Lil ‘Wayne, T.I., Game, Fabulous, Kanye West, Common, Cassidy, 50 Cent, Young Jeezy, Lupe Fiasco

7-31-2007
1. Dis year and the years b fore Jay Z has been a lyrical phenom. I don’t giv a fuk. He hasn’t fallen off just grown.
2. After saying hip hop is dead Nas had all these clown ass nigas listening to tupac for guidance. The album did talk about a lot of tru shit.
3.Lupe came out sk8tin havin nigas down his shit. The greatest new rapper.If u listened u would feel me.
4.Finally Lil Wayne. Mixtape game is the best right now. However all tese dick ridin niggas seem to hav forgot he was in the game how many years now before everyon started feelin.
5. TI. One of the greatest flows ever.
6. Camron. I’m just fukin wit u. Jeezy is taking this spot.
7. Game’s lyrical content is up there.
8. Diddy did sell a lot.
9. Didnt lik the massacre but 50 creates the best.
10. I guess R Kelley becam sumwat of a rapper.
7-31-2007
i agree with trill
except the game wouldnt be on the list and 50 cent would be in the top 5. TI WOULD NOT BE ON MY LIST THIS LAST ALBUM SUCKED AND I AM A TI FAN. AND YES LUDA IS UNDERRATED BUT NOT AS MUCH AS DRAG-ON AND DMX
7-31-2007
I DONT LIKE THE GAME BECAUSE HE IS AN OPPORTUNIST. WHAT EVER HE THINKS WILL GET HIM MORE SELLS HE WILL DO I DONT LIKE HIS BIPOLAR ATTITUDE. IT WAS EVIDENT THAT 50 HELPED THE GAME ITS ALL OVER THE CD ALL YOU HAVE 2 DO IS LOOK. HE HAD BEEN OUT FOR YEARS DID NOT GET BIG UNTIL 50 GOT ON TRACK. ONE DAY HE LIKE 50 AND GUNIT THE NEXT HE DOING A DISS RECORD. SAME THING WITH JAYZ ONE DAY THE GAME LIKES HIM THE NEXT HE DOING A DISS RECORD. THE OTHER THING IS THAT IF HE HAD A BEEF W/50 WHY HE DOG OLIVIA/DRE/EMINEM/LLOYD BANK$/AND YOUNG BUCK THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY
7-31-2007
damn…hip hop is dead point blank period, its all about bullshit now, flossin and money, what happened to the struggle and poverty? these niggas wasnt born rich maybe the world forgot where the fuck hip hop came from
7-31-2007
dis list is all types of fuked up! JIM JONES SUCKS! I dont like 50 but if u talking bout hot right now, he deserves to be higher den 8. Common is da nicest lyricist on da list…… but really, was he ever hot? …. feature Jayz on a track and people wanna listen, feature da game or jeezy on a track den u know its about drugs, violence or some cliche gay sh!t. ery body else is kool on da list i guess. but really though, WAT DA FUK IS JIM JONES DOING ON DAT LIST!!!!
8-1-2007
i dont understand how jim jones on the list and not ludacris or dmx
and lyrically the best mc is not lil wayne it is cassidy or ludacris
ludacris does not get the respect he deserve
why didnt snoop make the list to me he is one of the hottest people
out he on everybody’s cd the top people not in a particular order
50 cent ( he make tight ass songs he prob the realest rapper out)
lil wayne
snoop
ludacris (very underated
jayz (still run shit)
Juelz santana
cassidy (he could prob eat any mc up in a freestyle listen at that cat)
ti (not counting this last album)
common
lloyd banks (punch lines is sick)
didn’t put nas because hip hop is dead was not a very good cd
8-1-2007
the fuk is yall thinkin……lil wayne is da best rapper alive, nobody give no fuk bout no sales (fuk 50 cent) ya dig……..this list is decent but change young jeezy to 4 or 5 cus he desirve it….ya dig…..cassidy is not a song maker…….he is a freestyle rappa and thats it……..that muthuf is not hot……(i no he raw in freestyle)…………….
Fuk dis gad dam it…………………………….
Fuk bidges n get money………ya dig
8-1-2007
take 50 off of there, he may get a lot of media attention but hes lost it big time. straight to the bank, amusement park, and i get money all suck and failed on the radio. 50 also be makin stupid ass beef wit every1, even wit nas now because apparently 50 thinks nas reads too much. dumbass bitch. jim jones should definately not be there. id replace these 2 with jay-z and lupe fiasco cuz that got some real shit to rap about.
8-1-2007
i meant to say put lupe and luda up there. jay-z alrdy there
8-1-2007
YO I’M DISSAPOINTED DONT GET ME WRONG I LUV LIL’ WAYNE BUT HE CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT B NUMBER 1.LIKE THE OTHERS STATED JIM JONES SHOULD BE OFF THE LIST,KANYE SHOULD BE HIGHER ON THE LIST BCUZ HIS LYRICS ARE SICK,AND THE GAME SHOULD BE LOWER(WAY LOWER).AND COME ON NOW JAY-Z AT NUMBER 7 ALL THE RAPPERS ABOVE JAY-Z LOOK UP 2 HIM N ESPECIALLY LIL’WAYNE.
8-1-2007
N YEA I AGREE WITH SHOMPED LUDA CRIS SHOULD DEFINATELY BE UP THERE
8-2-2007
50 DO DESERVE TO BE UP THERE LUPE IS TIGHT BUT CASSIDY IS MORE THAN A FREESTYLE RAPPER. AND 50 GOTTA A LOT OF RADIO PLAY ESPECIALLY STRAIGHT TO THE BANK. AND NAS DID SOMETHING TO 50 WHILE THEY WERE ON TOUR THEY ARE COOL NOW AND AS FAR AS STUPID BEEFS CAM’RON AND THE GAME IS THE WORST. CAM’RON JUMPED IN A BEEF BETWEEN JAYZ AND DASH . I WOULD PUT TALIB KWELI BEFORE LUPE OR MAYBE EVEN PAPOOSE. I LISTEN TO LYRICS NO BEATS. LIL WAYNE IS ONLY TIGHT (BESIDES LIKE FATHER AND SON) ON MIX TAPES. WHEN IT COME TO LYRICS. THE GAME USED TO BE A STRIPPER AT A ALL MALE BAR. AND HE WAS ON SOME DATING SHOW MAN THAT DUDE JUST LOOKING FOR FAME ANY WAY HE CAN GET IT. AS FAR AS 50 GO THERE IS NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO IS AS REAL AS HE IS. HE REPRESENTED GUNIT WAY BEFORE ANY BODY KNEW HIM. THE GAME JUST REJOINED GUNIT
8-2-2007
AY KILLA I LIKE LIL WAYNE TOO BUT KEEP IT 100 ISNT LIL WAYNE’S MIX CD WAY BETTER THAN HIS ALBUMS AND HE CANT MESS WITH LUDA REAL TALK. WHO ELSE WOULD BE ON YOUR LIST THEN I KNOW LIL WAYNE BUT WHO ELSE
SHOMPED HOW IS 50 FALLIN OFF HE DONT NEED TO MAKE MUSIC HE RICH HE JUST SIGNED A 400 MILLION DOLLARS OFF OF A DRINK. SO THE GAME DESERVES TO BE UP THERE EVEN THOUGH 50 WROTE ALOT OF SONGS FOR HIM. HAVE YOU LISTENED TO HIS LYRICS YOU GOTTA GIVE FIF SOMETHIN ON THAT. FULLY LOADED CLIP/FUNERAL MUSIC. PLUS WHEN YOU ON TOP OF THE GAME PEOPLE TRY TO START BEEFS WITH YOU JUST LIKE JAY HE WAS ON TOP NOW LOOK PEOPLE TAKIN SHOTS AT HIM. WATCH LIL WAYNE’S NEXT. LAST YEAR IT WAS TI.
954 YOU HAVE THAT WRONG LIL WAYNE LOOKED UP TO JAYZ HE DID EVERY THING JUST LIKE JAYZ. COME ON “THE CARTER. VS. JAYZ (S.CARTER) WHEN HE FOUND OUT THAT JAYZ DONT TAKE A NOTE PAD IN THE BOOTH HE STOPPED TAKING A PAD IN THE BOOTH.
AND JEEZY IS TIGHT BUT HE ONLY RAPS ABOUT ONE THING (SNOW) HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE TOP TEN
8-2-2007
Damn! What the hell is that list! I really disagree! Lil’Wayne is great but I don’t think he is the #1, and take 50 cent off tha list.
8-4-2007
for all the LIL WAYNE FANS BEFORE YOU DISS 50 AND JAYZ AND CROWN LIL WAYNE AS THE GREATEST RAPPER CHECK OUT GILLA DA KID ON YOU TUBE 1ST THEN GET AT ME
8-5-2007
LUDACRIS IS THE GREATEST!!!!! Hands down ludacris is the best. Lil’ wayne might be good but you have to consider that gillie the kidd used to write for him and you never know. maybe he is ghostwriting off of somebody else. COME ON DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT ALL THAT DROUGHT 3 STUFF IS FREESTYLE? He wrote it and rapped it. besides nobody has footage of him freestyling it out loud. JIM JONES SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS HORRIBLE. HE CAN’T RAP WORTH OF CRAP AND HIS ADD LIBS ARE HORRIBLE. he shouldn’t be on the list neither should jay-z. jay-z might be good but he is not the hottest out right now. The game not be on the list either. And I am a Young jeezy fan and it is true that he talks about crack a lot but you have to give him his credit because he’s the one who started this whole voice in the background/ addlib thing.
If you ask me here’s the real list.
1. Ludacris,(so underated and he actually raps about real topics. example runnaway love)
2. T.I
3.Andre 3000
4. Lil’ Wayne
5. Juelz Santana,(he has the sickest metaphors, just listen to him
6. Big Boi
7. Young Jeezy
8. Common,(I don’t like him but he actually raps about positive things and his metaphors are better than everybody else’s but he gets kind of annoying because most people don’t wanna hear about the struggle. But he is still good)
9. Snoop dogg,( i think he sucks but you have to give him his props because he stays consistent and he puts a new video out like every 2 months)
10. 50 cent ,( he’s the most consistent seller besides outkast because outkast sold 10 million with one album. but 50 HAS SOLD 16 MILLION RECORDS IN THE U.S ALONE WITH 2 ALBUMS. THAT’S CRAZY
That’s my opinion on the list. Atlanta is owning the game. it’s nice to see that a southern city has taken over hip hop for at least 6 years.
8-5-2007
Dat top 10 hottest MC list on MTV da otha day was bogus
dis here is tha real list
1. Weezy (hands down)
2. T.I. (he is the king)
3. Jeezy (he rap about crack all tha time but its always lyrical)
4. Juelz (just listen 2 wat he be say’n
5. Juvenile
6. BG
7. Kanye
8. Twista
9. Andre 3000
10. Ludacris
Dis da real 10
8-5-2007
i agree with you atownsfinest gillie the kid airs lil wayne out big time. if you look at you tube in weezy’s video lil wayne is wearing gillie the kids chain.. you also have to consider that weezy’s lyrical content change alot all of a sudden. i know people be talking about fif but one thing for sure he lived what he rapped about. even smurf said fif ran shit. he always rep southside jamacia queens and gunit. why you think people was mad at fif because he was airing stuff out in his raps. ay when dipset got ran up on by junior mafia they ran like some punks when gunit got ran up on niggaz got stabbed on TV fif paid for the whole thing it went away. same with yayo. when ya talk about 50 like that look at the whole pic.LUDACRIS AND CASSIDY IS THE HOTTEST OUT RIGHT NOW THEN EVERYBODY ELSE LIKE JUELZ, 50, JAYZ
8-5-2007
This List is based on lyrics, flow, and versatility…not money, ablum sales or what they do in there personal life…it’s music people…not Hollywood!!!!!!!
1. Weezy F. BaBy
2. Kanye West
3. T.I.P
4. Jadakiss
5. Cory Gunz
6. Stack Bundles *RIP*
7. Juelz Santana

LUDA FUCKIN WIT ALL DESE NIGGAS CEPT WAYNE AND HE NOT EVEN ON THE LIST WTF!! WAYNE SHOULD BE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! JAY Z NEED TO SIT DOWN SOME WHERE JIM JONES SHOULDNT BE THEIR young jeezy should be 10
8-8-2007
1.tell you like this Jay name can rest he had his shine he moved on to bigger and better things.
2. Like one person said Lil wayne been out for 10 fucken years and now people say that nigga is hard.
3.Jim jones and dip set is weak period so Jim already know he aint nothing.
4. as far as the list go if it talked about hip hop and not rappers, then here it is:
1.Common
2.Kanye West( just cause Kanye state facts not Bull)
3. Lupe Fiasco( kick push bitch)
4. Chamillionaire( man this nigga here is smart man. he’s hip hop)
5.TI ( hard for me to understand but cool)
6.50 cent.( just cause 50 mostly complaines about others and don’t worry bout his damn self)
7.Cassidy
8.Fabolous( really not a fan but shit he graduated from spellen his name out for people)
9.Rick Ross( Ricky might not be out as much but who put MIA on the map harder)
10. The Game
5. Artist today is either winning these blind bats of people called fans over with the same lyrics. I heared a song talking about ( sexing your girl, or my money is big, or dance so many ways , or my car and house)I heared from the other artist 2 minutes ago.
6.What lil wayne the top dog?? answer that question and I’lkl say he is the legend. Because noone knows all you gonna tell me is he be on er track he got alot of mixtapes. I see that good for him but where is the back to back classics CD’s if he’s the greatest rapper. You can put out numerous mixtapes and songs but can’t make a CD. all tose mix tapes he could’ve had classics if people message his dick like they doing right. So what make him the best.
7. last comment for the White guy from washington,dc the radio host to say he’s better than PAC. u not a radio host u a host. Let Pac name move on fine he was a legend in his time and a legend now so no one will be better besides biggie. but anyways Wayne and pacs lyrics is way diffrent. wayne more about Punch lines now and I love u Baby aka birdman and i’ll fuck your girl and send her back. pac on the other hand was more about us black people and whites and the way the world and goverment is treating us. shit a nigga can relate to. its alot of yung bucks out here and people my age 23 i’m yung that is mixed up in wrong entertainment and the right. if you listen to people like Mos Def, Talieb Kwahlie, Common, Kanye, Lupe, Pappoose and any other in that category then you’ll see true hip hop and not rapping with entertainment. Get at me
8-8-2007
on the record for my spelling errors.
6. What makes lil wayne the top dog??
thats the question and sorry bout the other errors
8-8-2007
im with you che it amazes me that people are like LIL WAYNE THE HARDEST why dont poeple want to get on this niggas album a whole bunch of people turned him down. and for che you are so right lil wayne put out mix tapes because there selling his albums wasnt
8-9-2007
Dont even hate on wayne plzz im sick of the shit yall kno damn welll lyrically!! he crushin almost any body and err body yall just dont like the fact that people are finnally realizing that
8-9-2007
and keke
plzzz stop riding gillie da kids nuts cmon now!!!
nigga just wanted a lil spotlight
8-9-2007
U know people say other are haten if they don’t ride another person dick and say they’re hard. I never said the nigga was weak at all. I listen to him not much because i can’t take alot of wayne. if Pac was to come back out, if he was alive and say fuck wayne and spit against him then all the hype will be back on that nigga. So basically my whole model to this number one concept is who knows what the fuck they want now. I mean come on. If wayne wasn’t to do all these mix tapes and other crap who dick would be the bus. TI. just for the simple fact he came out self claiming himself as the KING of the south. So if TI is the king of the south and Wayne is from the south then that mean TI is better than Wayne. I mean best rapper alive means ” a rapper who is gifted lyrically and metaphorically”. where the KING of the S,E,W means ” that person rules his part of the coast and no one can take it”. So if wayne is as lyrically as erbody put him then that makes him KING not TI because the best rapper alive should be the king of where there from right? If wayne lyrics is the dopest then he runs the king seat not TI. This topic of MTV bringing up the number one spot is the biggest right now. People not liken what MTV put out. Like I said he or none of those niggas is payen for me to debate against them but I will state facts and not friction, thats another thing rap artist dwell on.
8-12-2007
Ran$om i respect your opinion about lil wayne but if any body’s ridings dicks here its you you ALL OVER LIL WAYNES NUTS .. I didnt way he wasnt wasnt good i was just saying that i didnt think fif deserved all those bad comments.fif is not my fav rapper but he in the top 5 personally i like luda cassidy juelz and fif better . cassidy would eat lil wayne for lunch and so w juelz
8-17-2007
It’s funny to me how everybody on here is going back n forth on who is the greatest. It’s called “having an opinion”…can we all agree on that. MTV is basically not all that intuned to true hip hop if they put Game overtop nigga’s like Fif anyway. To tell you the truth, Fif should be #1…then Kanye(philosophical nigga)….Nas…Jada(if going on talent)….Jay Z…Common(did yall forget that this dude has been in the game since yall were in diapers–probably still are that’s why yall stay talking shit)–Luda…T.I…Wayne(don’t let the dreads fool yall–he’s no rasta)…and Beanz. I put this nigga on here because he creates the shit that’s in everybody’s mind–”what’s my next hustle and how do I stay from self-destructing.” If everyone that reads this are true hip hop fans, then yall would know that the flow and lyrics of the beat is what 1st moves us. Not a nigga rolling around after a few good shots, then proclaiming he’s the best! Educate yourselves because these dudes on my list speak the truth. MTV–know your shit …don’t “lie” in it.
8-20-2007
you know what tee you are absolutely correct. the game should not be that high up on the list or over fif if he wrote some of his lyrics and brought him out
8-25-2007
These cats should be shot for not putting LUDA on this list. Five albums with four of them going multi platnium and the latest Release Therapy going 1.8 million, and he doesn’t even make the list. Please !
9-2-2007
Hawk is absolutely right.
9-9-2007
ay have yall heard 50 cent cd this is my favorit one from 50
10-26-2007
That list is bullshyt. Wayne dont deserve that #1 spot. Jay z, Lil wayne, and 50 belong in there but not in that order that MTV put up. #1 is Eminem No matter if you like him or hate him everytime he drops something it stay up at #1 forever and his lyrical talent is undeniable. Fabolous,Luda n Cassidy also deserve a spot. Maybe Lloyd banks n Jada, Nas too.
11-15-2007
1.T.I.
2.Weezy
3.Jeezy
4. Kanye
5.Juelz
6.Fabo
7.Jay-z
8. Luda
9.Jones
10.Twista
10-2-2009
I dont think the game is at the right stop,he should be replaced with ludacris or cassidy,and the name jim jones should be erased on the rap list and should be added to wackest mc’s not hot mc’s and should be replaced by Fabolous ,not speaking on drag-on .i think this should be re-done not the right place for people period
7-9-2010
BkDon is the only one who’s right. I can’t believe you guys didn’t put eminem in, no wonder he made “25 to life” and he says
“But when you spoke of people who meant
The most to you, you left me off your list
Fuck you, hip hop! I’m leaving you — my life sentence is served, bitch”
Marshall mathers LP has the world record for fastest selling album of all time, dumbasses.
10-20-2012
WHAT THE FUCK! How are you gonna leave Eminem Out you dumbasses! BkDon and ethan are the only ones who’s right. Then your gonna wonder why the fuck “25 to life” was made in which this line is spit:
“But when you spoke of people who meant
The most to you, you left me off your list
Fuck you, hip hop! I’m leaving you — my life sentence is served, bitch”
Marshall mathers LP has the world record for fastest selling album of all time MOTHERFUCKER! This shit is fucked up if Eminem isn’t gonna be changed to be Number 1. You fucked up by that, 2Pac “died” and all his listeners started listening to Em. He is the white 2Pac you stupid fuck! He has spent his WHOLE LIFE on this shit and people like MTV are just gonna throw him away! So what he wants to see his fucking family for a month. He leaves for one month alone and he is forgotten by you all! Eminem, I know how fucked up your life is now. :reallypissed: :reallypissed:
