Shout out to all the people at MTV that check this site out, but I’m not feeling the list at all. I don’t know how you define, “Hot.” Record sales? Street Buzz? Exposure? I don’t understand how The Game is hotter than 50 Cent & Kanye West, his album didn’t do as well as expected and he doesn’t have a song or video out getting major play(for a while). I’m an Andre 3000 fan, but what singles or videos does he have of his own that’s been popping as of late? I’m not a fan of a, “hot list,” but this would be my top 10:

1. Kanye West (Album Anticipation, Radio/Video Play, Internet Reaction)
2. 50 Cent (Album Anticipation, Radio/Video Play, Internet Reaction)
3. Lil Wayne (Internet Reaction, Exposure, Peer Opinions)
4. T.I. (Album Success, Radio/Video Play)
5. Young Jeezy (Always Moving Units)
6. Common (Album Buzz)
7. Jay-Z (Guest Appearances)
8. Fabolous (Album Success, Singles)
9. Insert Southern Artist With New Hot Single
10. Andre 3000 (Features on Tracks)

  5. OLA Says:

    its not bout the greatest of all time, it’s bout who has the latest hotest record or w/e so this list doesnt really matter cuz 6 months from now, it’ll be totally different, the hottest is always who has the latest CD, mixtape, song, verse, w/e.

  20. wezzyboy Says:

    1.NAS (Best Rappper Of All The time)
    2.JAY-Z(its Hov, he got money, top 3 best rapper alive, n hes bangin beyonce lol)
    3.Lil Wayne(he be killin for the last 2years, from the mixtape, collabos… h his lyrics skillz n flow)
    4.Fabolous(He had a nice album this year, its Loso)
    5.Cassidy (His nice, best punch line rapper in the game)
    6.Common (hes nice, the niggas deep too!)
    7.Jadakiss (The game needs him)
    8.50 Cent ( i dont like the nigga but, he had a couple of nice tracks this year, we gon see how the album gon sound…)
    9.Kanye West (Big track “Cant Tell Me Nothing)
    10. T.I. (Aint really like his album T.I. vs. TIP, but the niggas runnin shit n he had big sells)

    CANT FORGET ABOUT YOUNG JEEZY!

  21. glock Says:

    WTF are you tlaking about?? Nas released his album just after Hov, and hov hasnt come out with any new albums or singles since Hip Hop is dead. He was on Rihannas shit but what else?? If Hov is on the list then nas should be on the list, if not take them both out cause they both aint come out with no relevant shit since their albums lil nigga. Take Hov dick out ya mouth and give it back to beyonce.

    You wanna talk hottest. then its like this

    1.50 Cent (I get money is hot in the streets)
    2.Kanye (his singles are hot, anticipation is strong)
    3.Lil Wayne (every track thats in the streets he’s on)
    4.Fabolous

    You people can think of the rest. See, some of the people on this site are just stans or fucking illiterate. Theres a difference between hottest and good rapper. Hottest means your getting crazy airplay and hype in the streets, radio, and TV. This is top 10 best mc’s right now, its hottest.

  22. glock Says:

    this ISNT BEST MC’S ITS HOTTEST MC’S, THIS IS ABOUT BUZZ, AIRPLAY, RADIO, SONGS ON BET SONGS ON MTV.

    SO ANYONE WITH JOE BUDDEN aka MY ALBUM DOESNT COME OUT TILL 3019, AND I HAVENT HAD A VIDEO SINCE THE STONE AGE. GO KILL YASELF FOR PUTTING BUDDEN ON THE LIST, SOME NIGGAS IN THE HOOD DONT EVEN REMEMBER BUDDEN, NO MAINSTREAM TRACKS, NO SINGLES OR VIDEOS OR BUZZ, HE’S 12323 ON THE LIST.

    jay z IS NOT HOT IN THE HOOD RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE ANY VIDEOS OF HIS OWN, HE DOESNT HAVE ANY SINGLES OF HIS OWN, NO BUZZ, AND NO ALBUMS COMING OUT. NIGGAS JUST PUT HIM ON THE LIST FOR PURE DICKRIDING PURPOSES.

  23. glock Says:

    NAS IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER AND WAY BETTER THAN ANYONE ON THE LISTS EXCEPT JAY Z, BUT GET HIM OFF THE LIST. HE HAS NO VIDEOS OUT NOW, NO NEW SINGLES, NO VIDEOS ON BET OR MTV, AND NO BUZZ. HIS BUZZ IN THE HOOD IS ZZZZZZZ.

  24. glock Says:

    COMMON IS NICE, ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE RAPPERS, BUT SORRY, HIS ALBUM ISNT GOING TO SELL SHIT, HE DOESNT HAVE BUZZ ON BET OR MTV, AND 95% OF NIGGAS IN THE HOOD WONT BUY A COMMON ALBUM BECAUSE THEY ARE IGNORANT AND DON’T WANNA HERE THAT SHIT.

  25. yikes Says:

    people aint feelin Eminem?

  26. RealTalkNY Says:

    Well Jay-Z is on one of the most played songs of the summer with Umbrella. He had the Amy Winehouse remix, a verse on Ne-Yo’s album, and just did Big Spender.

  27. blanco montana Says:

  28. fuckyocouch Says:

    co-sign with #7, mtv does not support hip hop period, no point of hating on their list b/c their opinion carries no weight, they only support alternative/punk rock shit, for all they care avril lavigne can be #1…….Currrrrtttissssss sept.11th

  29. P-Millz Says:

    1)Al-Queda Jada
    2)S.P. The Phantom
    3)Marshall Mathers
    4)Kanye West
    5)Weezy F. Baby
    6)Ludacris
    7)Hurricane Game
    8)T.I. or T.I.P.
    9)Fabolous
    10)The Broad Street Bully

    The only reason y Jay isnt on here is because i dont consider him a rapper no more, he’s done it all, he’s retired, he’s an enterpreneur now. Nas is like Shaq in basketball, old and washed up. He’s in the top 5 of all-time but as far as now, he’s finished. I dont consider 50 an MC. He doesnt give a fuck about hip-hop. He’s not legendary, he’s for the moment. He’s about his money. I respect that. Now my nigga Cassidy, Papoose, Saigon and all those young guys, they are the future, not now.

  30. blanco montana Says:

    8 THE SOUTH NETHING N EVRTHING FROM DOWN THER IS SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES
    9 CASSIDY THE STREETS IS WATCHIN N EVEN MTV AND BET IS FOLOOWING DOUBT HELL SELL BUT HES SHOWED UP ON BIG THINGS POPPIN REMIX N EVRY1 IS WAITING TA C WAT HE DOES

  34. Southern Soverign Says:

    I co-sign P-millz list just in a different order.

  35. Hater radar Says:

    if you talk about being hot you have to go by record sales or current music being played
    1.50
    2.kanye
    3.wayne
    that is the 3 hottest and that is the truth, who else is being talked about right now?

  36. truth Says:

    co-sign #21

  37. www Says:

    Wow you have it down pat compared to MTV – those suckers are an absolute joke.

  38. magic jones Says:

    lmao if jay aint number 1 then fuck yall niggas!!! naw but nigga got tha best song in tha country with rhianna 4 like 11 r 12 weeks now…wayne had lloyd and that shit was koo but jays shit is still being played…

  39. John Doe Says:

    It’s crazy that Weezy can go from kissing Baby on da mouth to being the number 1 rapper in the game like its nothing…
    That whole list is funny
    But who cares really?
    It really doesn’t matter who MTV puts on that list because somewhere out there there is some emcee who’s nice just for the sake of being nice that will murder everybody on MTV’s top ten list but will never get a fair shot in the game because he’s too much of a man to change his whole shit up to appeal to 14 white girls…

  40. The Kid Says:

    They did alright for the most part. I would definitely have some changes on my own list though.
    10 Chamillionaire
    9 Cormega
    8 Cassidy
    7 Kweli
    6 Fab
    5 Kiss
    4 50
    3 Common
    2 Kanye
    1 Wayne

  41. perplex tongue Says:

    NAS IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER AND WAY BETTER THAN ANYONE ON THE LISTS EXCEPT JAY Z, BUT GET HIM OFF THE LIST. HE HAS NO VIDEOS OUT NOW, NO NEW SINGLES, NO VIDEOS ON BET OR MTV, AND NO BUZZ. HIS BUZZ IN THE HOOD IS ZZZZZZZ.

    ^^ u say that but..common has hood buzz? what the fuck has jim jones done lately..

    nas atleast been on a nice new cd…a hott ass single with game…one of the best songs of the yr in with jay-z

    still has more buzz then any of these dudes..common and jim jones

    should be atleast 9-10

  42. glock Says:

    Well Jay-Z is on one of the most played songs of the summer with Umbrella. He had the Amy Winehouse remix, a verse on Ne-Yo’s album, and just did Big Spender.

    ^^^^^^^^^^

    Please, Don’t try to put Rihanna’s success on Jay Z. He spit a few bars at the start of the record, thats all. I don’t believe that a few words on a Rihanna verse can qualify Jay Z in the top 10. If Umbrella is the most played song, its Rihanna’s song and her success, Jay spit a average short verse, and niggas think he back…on a Rihanna song..LMAO

    Amy Winhouse song….never heard it

    Big Spender, I don’t even hear it on the radio.

    SO your telling me if Lil wayne hadnt been on any shit but a Rihanna song for 15 seconds he’d be on the list?

  43. glock Says:

    Jim jones aint had nothing since BALLLLIINNN!!

    And that was like 2 monthes ago, seriously niggas aint even talking about Jones no more, he had his single, now its dead and so is the buzz, get him off the list.

  44. Dat Dude Says:

    Chamillionaire should be on that list instead of Game. I can see why Jones is at 10, he’s staying out there by hopping on at least 2 remixes a month. Wayne, 50, and Kanye should be top 3 for the obvious reasons. Andre hasn’t even did a guest spot since what, Devin the Dude’s song? Andre would’ve made the list 2 months ago, but NOW? Nah..

    List is suspect. Jeezy has buzz, but not enough to keep that U.S.D.A. shit poppin’. He shouldn’t be higher than 50 and Jay-Z. Fabolous is missing from the list, too.

  45. Mas Says:

    MTV DONT KNOW SHYT…jIM jOnes? top 10? wtf? jones over lupe? cassidy? luda? jeezy over hov??
    MA LIST

    1)WEEZY (even though i dont like him. on every track)
    2)KANYE (album buzz, hot singles)
    3)50 (album buzz, “I GET MONEY”
    4)HOV (would be #1 if we were talkin bout best in the game)
    5)FABOLOUS (real good album, underrated)
    5)Common (album buzz, spit real shyt)

  46. Yuu serious?! Says:

    this is a list of best mc’s for the moment..not ever..

    but not liking the list..very obvious and not empressed by most of those artists.

    whats andre 3000 doing there…guys a great mc but he hasn’t done any albums he’s only bin on remixs

  47. Ciara Says:

    Like I said somewhere else….where the hell was Nas on this list. The dude straight had everyone checking themselves when he was saying that Hip Hop is dead and people still are. Game at 3 is stupid too…but hey, they created this list for people to debate and banter and that is what they got lol

  48. piffpusher Says:

    i cosign everything glock said except for jay not been on the top 10,ya are dumb az hell,its not who iz the best its who iz the hottest at this momment the list will keep changing,lmao at niggas sayin cormega,lupe and shit,good rappers but not hot right now,dudes gotta have sum kinda commercial or underground buzz,and jones should be at least 10 on the list cuz he do be every commercial remix,sexy lady,wipe me down,aye bay bay,i get money,party like a rockstar, i don’t even wanna name any more too much but u get the point,top five right now iz
    1.weezy
    spots 2 and 3 iz either way kanye or 50,probably kanye at 2 cuz he got a bigger buzz i prefer 50 tho
    4.ti (sellin records)
    5.fab
    those just who hot right now,not my fav.my real list would be jay,cass,weezy,banks,fab and nas

  49. piffpusher Says:

    oh forgot my nigga jada on the second list

  50. funeral muzik Says:

    WASH HEIGHTS STAND UP,THE HOTTEST MOST ALL AROUND RAPPERS RIGHT NOW ARE#1.50 CENT(IGET MONEY)#2T.I(BIG THINGS POPPIN)#3.JAY-Z(BEYONCE,WHUT MORE CAN I SAY)AFTER THAT IS HARD TO DEBATE,BASED ON FACTS OF STREET CREDIBILITY,FACTS IN THEY RAPS(UNLESS YOU LIKE ACTOR RAPPERS,A MOVIE)RECORD SALES,MAKING OTHERS RICHER,ETC.

  51. S.Mc Says:

    yall jus puttin fab on there cuz of his swag and his coolness hes not the same fab he used to be his album is trash and he dont even work wit clue and duro no more so he dont even have that sound no more. but he still got the potential to be half as good as he used to be. o yea did i mention 50 should be NUMBER ONE!!!

  52. S.Mc Says:

    WORD CIARA THEY JUST MADE THIS LIST FOR CONTROVERSY

  53. T.R.E.Y. Says:

    decent list. take Andre 3000 down some notches and put T.I. at the top (sorry, i like Wayne but dude can’t be at the top when he hasn’t had an album out in two years and his popularity’s more among mixtape/Internet nerds than anything)

  54. kenya Says:

    I didn’t watch the show and im glad. I know everybody is not going to agree on the same list but this is some bullshit right here. Why is Jim Jones on anybody’s list? Jeezy over Jay-z? Where did Andre come from? Even if they meant Hottest RAPPER(a MC and a rapper is two different things) out it still wouldn’t make sense.

  55. bitch please! Says:

    1. jay
    2. wayne
    3. west
    4. 3stacks
    5. cass

  56. Ciara Says:

    I just watched the clips online and Jim Jones at number 10 is very suspect. Yes dude had one of the hottest joints of the year with “We Fly High” plus the remix…then he got on some remixes but other than that…nothing. What kept his name out there was the apparent issue he had with Cam…Nas on the other hand, should be 10…I can’t put him ahead of Jay, Jeezy or even 50 for that matter (which hurts but nonetheless lol) but this dude can “disappear” and still be one of the most talked about MCs right now. People want to hear what Nas is going to spit or talk about. Everyone knows that Nas doesn’t do the whole super promotion thing and he respected because of that…

    50 at seven is right to me only because his first two single went wood in the street and people are against him more than I have ever seen. But because he’s 50, he’s forever going to be anticipate and people are going to buy his album…so he’s in the right spot at seven

    They were right about not putting Luda on the list because Luda has absolutely NO buzz right now…

    1) Wayne
    2) T.I.
    3) Kanye

    …are my top 3

  57. BACE fuuukkkkk B.E.T Says:

    Man TOP

    WEEZY
    JUELZ
    GAME

    STOP RIDIN JAIGGAS FAT CAMEL ASS LIPS!!!

  58. BACE fuuukkkkk B.E.T Says:

    Man TOP 3!!!

    WEEZY
    JUELZ
    GAME

    STOP RIDIN JAIGGAS FAT CAMEL ASS LIPS!!!
    HE WAS A NR 1 NOT ANYMORE!!!

  59. Ali From Cali Says:

    rtny, you know u my dude, you know this man! but any list of mcs… i dont give a damn if its “hottest” or “ever” or what the hell ever… if nasty esco nas is not on it… i disagree 100%. why is it that every and i mean every single interview, some1 asks, “what do you think about the state of hip hop right now?” the title of nas’ last album is on every1’s tip of the tongue. he sold alot of albums in 2007 and he’s been touring ever since. Yes weezy is the hottest cuz its been his year, but Nas is on the damn list no matter what. Maybe not on the top of the list but in it fo sho! I mean the buzz of him and hova getting together was all the talk at first (an MTV special) then it was his wedding on abc, his album tittle, his mtv reality show, his appearance on Doctor’s advocate on “why you hate the game” his so called beef with 50, jim jones and cam. ask any1 over the age of 21 who they would want to listen to right now and see what % would list nas on the top 10 right now. and if you are under 21, you dont count, so dont botter with this hip hop conversation, sorry!, some of you might know but the majority wants to “snap yo’ fingaz” and step somewhere. I speak of lyrics, beats and the ability to destroy lyrically. u know who should make a top 10? all the mcs in the game, who would they not fuck with? yes he would be on that list as well. 1!

  66. pup Says:

    i would put outkast as a whole before andre 3000

  67. pup Says:

    1. T.I. (Album Success, Radio/Video Play, arena tour)

    2. Lil Wayne (Internet Reaction, Exposure, Peer Opinions, but being on everyone’s record w/o an album in 2 years prevents him from getting the #1 spot)

    3. 50 Cent (Album Anticipation, Radio/Video Play, Internet Reaction, ‘i get money’ hardest single this year by far, interview make headlines, rumored relationships, competition with kanye)

    4. Kanye West (Album Anticipation, Radio/Video Play, Internet Reaction, although his singles aren’t buzzing he still remains relevant, pluss competition with 50)

    5. Jeezy (dude uses the same words to rhyme but even though he has no lyrical ability, he has a movement, that USDA/christina aguillera song is a monster and the south loves him)

    6. Jay-Z (Guest Appearances. dating beyonce. even though last album sucked major you know what and noone’s talking about him in the streets. this is on the strength of him being on eof the best and still putting out material…basically out of respect)

    1)Nas
    2)Big L
    3)Big Pun
    4)Common
    5)Rakim

  69. Ms. O Says:

    How NaS don’t make the list?????

  70. vonnievonn65 Says:

    All you stoopid people who dont know the difference between hottest and your favorite rapper need not comment. Dont get mad because the knobs you enjoy slobbin aint make the list. And stop hatin on The Game. For one he might not have a video out now, but the nukkas album was hot. He also dropped some nice mixtapes that a lot of peeps were anticipating with a lot of news and internet buzz. He has also been featured on a lot of peeps music spitting some hot verses like Streets, Colors, Ay Bay Bay, Throws some D’s, he had one of the longest remixes with the most artist featured in rap history. Stop Hatin on him and actually listen to his music. You folks are beginning to get on my nerves with your opinions LMAO..Anyway 50 cent has buzz…because he creates it….can you say ‘beef’, but he aint the hottest out there nor can he spit, but he do have a lot of buzz and should be at the very bottom of the list….peace Weezy is definitely #1 with his features and verses….We takin ova….and you can feel in the rest of the blanks fool…..

  71. BUSHWICK PURE Says:

    i dont know what ya see but here how the list should be no favoritism

    1.50 cent(i get money hottest shit out right now killing clubs n car radios)and the fact his post generate 200 and more post on realtalkny.
    2.kanye west(cant tell me nothing is the shit)
    3.lil wayne(u just got niggaz that like dumb lyrics)
    4.ti(album is moving them units despite it being garbage)
    5.jay-z(cuz niggaz always checkn for hov him n 50is the biggest artist in hiphop)
    6.common(got that hot single album dropping)
    7.fabolous(had a great album despite it feature heavy)
    8.young jeezy(if u can sell with slick pulla and blood raw u gotta be on the top ten hottest)…lol
    9.Game(had a wack album sucks nas off now trying to flow like him,beef with vida,beef with gunit,saying hes gonna retire after this next album)
    10.nas(album had 3 good songs on it, making peace with jay-z gettn soned,saying hiphop is dead cuz no 1 was looking 4 him tell he went to def jam under hov,fuckn with ugly wack ass kelis and hes nas u gotta put him up there)

    and thats how the list should go for the hottest now best rappers of all time is something totaly diff

  72. MIC SORC Says:

    yo, where is talib kweli, mos def, Nasir Jones, lupe fiasco, black thought from the roots…? who comes up with this biased shit? this is why hip hop is dead. come on, Jeezy? Jeezy, people? Jim Jones? does anyone remember a hot line from Jim Jones? i’ll wait while u come up with the answer…. are we seriously that disillusioned? half of these rappers dont even deserve the right to be called “emcees”. listen to KRS-ONE’s “The MC” and get back at me. i know cornerstore off-the-block MCs that would rip 50, TI, the Game, Jeezy and Jim Jones the fuck up. i’m surprised Hurricane Chris didnt make this wack ass list up. and we all know MTV isnt the first home for hiphop music, but i doubt BET’s list would be any better. we need VH1 Soul to come up with this list maybe….

  73. Emissary Says:

    Nas should have been on the list because everyone has had something to say about him…. T.I. tired to challenge Nas’ album concept on his album….Ludacris did that same thing with the t-shirt at the BET awards….Jim Jones said he would do a record with Nas, Jeezy came out his face on the radio about Nas, Curtis metioned Nas in his interview…Nas is hot because all of these dummy rappers keep his name in them mouth.

  74. Marq Says:

    HOTTEST IN THE GAME

    #1 Hova

    “Hip hop is so fucking dead”.

  86. UNX Says:

    HERE IS THE OFFICIAL LIST:
    1.WEZZY
    2.JAY Z
    3.NAS
    4.Kanye West
    5.TI

  87. Black Genius Says:

    1.)Lil Wayne
    T.I.
    50
    Fab
    J.Jones
    Jeezy
    k.West
    Jay
    3000
    10.)Common

    Think about it, if your “NOW” you make what ever you do for the crowd 15-28. I made my list off apperance wise and hot music right now. If Wanye went anywhere everyone 15-28 would be there. T.I. not my fav but at the funkflex car show last week everybody was lovin him. 50 I get money is crazy right now and when he did I get money at the funk flex show he shut the building down. Fab album is crack if he and neyo do that sond anywhere ladies love it and the song is hot. Jones he could jump on somethin and get a buzz or do his own thing an u enjoy it cuz its dipset. The verse may not be as hot but u love the swag an most likely u have on a wallet chain an a skull. W/ jeezy u love the way he thugz it and you feel his music. West his swag is crazy and u cant tell me nothin is hot right now the new rmx w/ jeezy star off if i had a billion $ crack. Jay the best ledgend out now still rapping but not the best rapper right now. if Jay had a concert today everybody 17 and up would go, what about 15 & 16 yr olds. 3000 for a min has been spitin hot verses but not everyon reconizes it. Common is hot but if you under 24 you’d say hes wack but you have to listen to what he says and you’ll enjoy his style music.

  88. Jaygetsbusy Says:

    Whats good Real Talk. Now I NEVER leave any comments on blogs, however I do enjoy reading them, plus I am a fan of this site. But I knew this was going to be a topic for discussion and I feel compelled to say something. Now, I think the thing that people don’t understand is that MTV are not trying to judge the greatest MC of all time, they are going by who’s hot RIGHT NOW and with that comes consistency. Now everyone will agree to disagree as to who should be number 1, or number 10 for that matter. And I dont necessarily agree with the lists, as to the ORDER but I think they have it almost on point. Now some folks are saying “well what about eminem, what about dre, papoose, saigon, styles P” or putting folks in the category like Big L, Pun (god rest their souls)….not to take anything away from these dudes…some of the best to EVER do it…but yall are missing the point. Those guys – dre, em, pun…they are indeed hot, but no way are any of them hot right now! One of the things I would change is bringing Game further down and moving kanye up. other than that I think its fair to say that this list is pretty accurate, as to WHO’S HOT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!! Most, if not all of these dudes are consistent…but none of this is factual…its all opinion based and its up to YOOOOU to form your own opinion! lol

    and thats Real Talk….

  89. Jaygetsbusy Says:

    oh yeah…when I say dre..I meant Dr. Dre, I’ve always said that Andre 3000 was underrated…this dude is NICE!!

    Since everyone is endorsing a celebs album…make sure you go cop that new Lindsay Lohan album…hittin the stores 4th quarter ‘07..LMAO!

  90. Iloverealhiphop Says:

    where the hell is nas and why is jim jones and 50 cent up there, because they have good beats

  91. ET Says:

    MTV is retarded!!!

  92. So7-4 Says:

    im just glad game is rated hotter than 50 and 50 bout to drop. And i hope yall aint puttin Game on ya list cuz he doesnt have an album comin this year

  93. Reconize A Playa Says:

    they puttin a list of hot MCs in the game right now!! yall putting HOV, NAS, Cassidy in there!! they didnt shit for the last year goddmanit!!!!!

    Weezy has the right to be number one!!! after in the list you must have: 50 Cent, T.I., Fabolous, Young Jeezy, Snoop Dogg, The Game, maybe Jay-Z, Kanye fo’ sure and u can add any rapper who has a on hit wonder…

    Remember folks they are talkin about the game right now!!! by putting Nas and Cassidy and Jadakiss is like if im putting Tupac, B.I.G., NWA!!! the question is who is hot RIGHT NOW!!!!

  94. homie Says:

    lol how you gon put uncle murda on the list

  95. Black Genius Says:

    cassidy only got out 2 or 3 new radio songs out now the rest are freestyles. Jada aint been out in a min, the rmx he on is hot. Nas aint relivent as of 7-30-2007 on the radio, parties, or TV. The list was made for top rapper as of NOW on tv, radio, and parties.

  96. Real Says:

    what the fuckkkkk,no Nas and no Snoop man i know Nas isnt the most popular rappers but definately in the top ten now and snoop, he is everywhere too and they but legends,but if you talk about hot,then its all good except for jim jones that nigga still alive and common is grest but ist hotter tham nas or snoop mtv is full of ignorant people and andre is dope too but not hot like to be there

  121. TRE Says:

    y the fuck is the game on any of these lists he shoudnt even been in this conversation at all. this is the best list posted guaranteed.
    1.T.I-not the best rapper but is consistent and wanted by everbody 4 calabos.
    2.WAYNE- he is crushing street wise buts he is falling down the list how long does it take u 2 make CARTER 3 if u call ur self the best rapper alive it wouldve been out 2 years ago.
    3.JAY-Z- he is the inspiration behind just about everybody on evryone else list. he had more business 2 take care of and still the number one person u would call 2 calab on ur hit.
    4.50- he is doing evrything right besides the beef shit
    5.KANYE-rapping/producing wateva he touch its platinum
    6.JEEZY- not the best rapper but gets respect from all coasts and every single he has can be played from the car to the club.
    7.LUDACRIS- he coudlve been before jeezy buts he is terribly underated lyrical wise and lost all his street cred a long time ago.
    8.FAB/JADA- calab wise these are the guys u would call for a cheap price and a guranteed hot 16.
    9.CASSIDY- he is back and expectations are very high.
    there is not 10 because u woudlnt put niggas like dr. dre on here he cant rap at all. eminem was but does he even rap anymore? joel ortiz doesnt belong because half of the world doesnt even kno who he is. nobody from dipset is close on this list. jim jones had 2 good hits his whole career. i give respect to juelz but this list is out of his league.i dont give nas credit because he only had 3 decent albums his entire carreer and for those who argue that look at album sales he is way over rated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  122. KEITH SPENCER Says:

    LIL WAYNE IS NOT THE HOTTEST RAPPER.CAUSE HE ONLY SAYS ONE HOT LINE.EVERYBODY THINKS HE’S THE NUMBER 1 RAPPER.TI IS WAY BETTER THAN LIL WAYNE.ONE LINE DOESN’T MAKE YOU THE HOTTEST RAPPER.ONE HOOK DOESN’T MEAN YOUR THE HOTTES.LIL WAYNE CAN’T EVEN CRACK THE TOP 50 HOTTES RAPPERS.

  123. g-money Says:

    1) lil wayne hands down(real king of the south)2)KANYE 3)JAY Z 4)50 CENTS 5)LUDACRIS)6)NAS 7)JADA 8)COMMON)9)JEEZY)10)T.I(HE CAN BOW DOWN TO WEEZY)

  124. Dj Cokneeto Says:

  125. Cleo Says:

    I’m kind of liking this list. I dont think its really accurate but im liking it. Its not like its the top 10 greatest rappers ever,though. Its kind of like a reality check. Weezys head is gonna get big (has the most hype and is hot right now). And Hov is gonna step up and pop that shi* wit a needle if they every really* start beefin.

  126. Tanish Says:

    1,LiL WAYNE[ IS THE BEST RAPPER OUT HANDS DOWN DONT HATE APPRECIATE]

  127. funk b spazzin Says:

    1. Lil Wayne – WEEZY F BABY PLEASE KISS THE BABY SHOULD BE NUMBER 2 BUT HIS PUNCHLINES IS NUMBER 1.
    2. T.I. – KING OF THE SOUTH SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 BECAUSE WAYNE IS KILLIN OTHER RAPPERS TRACKS AND HE GOT BIG THINGS POPPIN ON HIS OWN.
    3. The Game – I WOULD PUT KANYE AT NUMBER 3
    4. Andre 3000 – I AGREE BUT U GOTTA HAVE BIG BOI WITH HIM

HE IS DONE AND BEEN DONE SINCE G- UNIT LEFT HIM ON THE CURB! mr 3000 is hot but he is just gettin back on his grind but his buzz is def growing but the last outkast album was not so good i dont think kanye cares about being hot as long as the cake keeps comen in and he keeps killen beats he just wants to be the flyest dressed rapper jezzy’s last album was ok not a good follow up to his first joint but he stays on his grind mix tapes heavy in the street and swag is one point as for jim jones hes in the streets heavy in the clubs heavy & me being from nyc i really see that dude on the streets & in the clubs mix tapes is heavy he can round up the top 10 not a bad pick… 50 we all kno we hate his guts but the man haves a gift to give the hip – hop game what thay need at the right time(i get money) and curits will sell millions jay z will alwaise be a the god of ny but i would not say hes hot right now music is not hes top grind its running def jam and pushing his lable dudes to be hot and people need to realize that and common well the man is hot but he is humble and makes you lisin to what hes sayen in his music the new joint will be FIRE! but everyone will have ther own thought of who’s hot and who’s not everyone just has to respect it .. this is hip – hop and the compatiton is only getting bigger & better (no homo) lol

  132. mz.know it all Says:

    first of all everybody should know that before any rapper alive biggie and tupac is first then you can make a big deal out of it saying that there is a beef between lil wayne and jay-z common since should tell yall that lil wayne is the type of rapper that is hot for so long you don’t hear from him in 10 years after that he haven’t been hot before why would he be hot now all of a sudden because he make a new callabo with somebody everyday and he say one line that make everybody just wanna die. but anyway f yall readin this jay-z would be after biggie and tupac if u know what being a true rapper really mean. Oh yeah i don’t get me wrong i like lil wayne it’s just that sometimes he make so many songs in one week i have hard time understanding his lil language he speak of which throws him off the list cuz that juz weird.

  133. funk b spazzin Says:

    please leave Pac and Big out of this….they been gone for 10 years man please let them go….they are dead but they legend lives on….but pleaseeeeeeeeeeee leave them out of this.

    Wayne is #1 already who is hotter fuck TI he is the king of the mothafuckin south and how did game and common make the list what the hell.

  136. Lateasha tha beast ya digg Says:

    I think that alot ppl dislike wayne cause in tha rap game ppl overrate Jayz. Not to say he cant spit but in my opinion there are alot of rappers who I think got Jayz beat and cause they all ass kissers they aint goin step on toes and say he not Lil Wayne is a real nigga been doin his thing and I think nobody but Tupac comes above him. runnerup for sho is T.I. all ya niggaz up state jus mad cause at one time southern rappers wuz tha underdogz but now we taking ova like tha song go ya digg Lil wayne all wayz 4 eva tha best rapper alive that nigga come from tha haredaet city ya kno fuvk wat ur heard N.O. in this bitch

  137. JO Says:

    LIL’ WAYNE?? HIP HOP IS DEAD !
    I LIKE HIS MUSIC AND ALL BUT HE DONT TALK ABOUT SHIT. HOW CAN YOU PUT HIM ABOVE NAS, JAY-Z ANS 2000 ?

  138. Imahiphopbaby Says:

    the list was wack. What was the criteria? and none of them must never heard Juelez last album. Every song was fire and his new single with, yes WEEZY, is da sh*t. like the title of his last album- he’s what the games been missing

  139. W1LL Says:

    I think wayne has been underrated for his whole career now ever since he has been gettin himself noticed an things he been spittin like its no tomorrow so now he feels hes better than jigga…hov…jay….JAY Z ian i agree cuz for one people keep kissin his ass an suckin up to’em instead of tryin to take his spot like or just snatchin it like T.I. an wayne did…dont get me wrong its comp out there for wayne to but since he flys wit the bird gang he not gonna step to santana……but T.I. got wayne for sureim talkin bout T.I.P. not T.I.

  140. nasey Says:

    i agree wit xoxo91 baout nas being # 1 then hov. but come on now. 50 shouldnt be on dat list. he dont rap about nothing except sexin a ho. and weezy #1, what???? he rap bout some alright stuff wat be gettin me is dat blood mess. come on now why be in a gang??? so young kids taht look up to you can go and join and get themselves killed or kill others? and i think andre 3000, kanye west, jay-z, and common should be before the game. o yea jim jones wack too and shouldnt be on the list.

  141. Tasir Says:

    Whoa, MTV list is a joke. Ya’ll f**k up the list…. Top list are:

    Nas ( always rapping about something that get u thinking and also best MC in the game.)
    Jay-Z ( Rap best hustler, richest in the game and have one of the best flow in the game)
    Lil Wayne ( even though he kiss baby on the lips and that don’t rock in NYC but he is consistant with his lyrics and he is also improving with his flow)
    Common( are u serious, listen to him flow and listen to wat he raps about hottest in the game)
    Ludacris ( who from the south can F*** with Luda? He get wiser has he gets older. Tells u in his lyrics after lyrics)
    T.I ( always coming out with a those catchy hooks and banging beats hard to understand him but he swagger is sick)
    Andree 3000 ( Ya not listening. His is comfotable with him self, who u know can rock his outfits, get mad respect from other artist and with the best group in the south)

  142. Al Says:

    That list is bull weezy ain’t even nice like that. The list should go like this
    1.)Jay-Z or Nas
    2.)Jay-Z or Nas
    3.)Andre 3000
    4.)Papoose
    5.)Common
    6.)T.I.P
    7.)50 Cent
    8.)Big Boi
    9.)Kanye West
    10.)Talib Kweli
    Weezy would be in the 20’s, Game would not even be in this he straight up sucks. But all I have to say is we wouldn’t even have this whole subject come up if Biggie, Pac, Pun, and Big L were still alive. Alot of these guys would be flippin burgers at burger king, and Weezy would still be out in the streets or New Orleans struggling for a meal.

  143. had o Says:

    Yo.. kiss is the Best Rapper alive… do u hear what he is spititng no one on that list besides andre3000 has been spitting better bars on anything than kiss… the hip hop game is mesed up

  144. slasshh Says:

  145. Al Says:

    kiss is aight but wut i wanna kno where is J-Hood

  146. Dat Dude Says:

    i think mtv didn’t do to bad but dis is my opinio

    1. Jay-z{cuase this dude older than dirt and still making young dude moves and he’s just a lyrical monster people might not agree but its true and some people aren’t smart enough too catch his slick rhymes and his swagg is just untouchable i tell he is the greatest rapper }

    2. Young Jeezy{give it up for dis dude not lyrical are you stupid also dis dude says some slick stuff and he makes the best remix ever and he’s just so sweet who you kno start a clothing line his first couple of years in the game com’on dog dis dude is to sweet and he’s jay-z’s prodigy how could he go wrong. U.S.D.A }

    3. T.I.{dis guy is just killin it he’s been on fire for atleast 3 consecutive album’s his the altime rubberband man got and endorsment with chevy wow dis dude and his swagg is untouchable he is da king of the south. }

    4. Snoop Dogg{he comes in at # 3 simply becuase he’s an og in the game came out young, he had a lot riding on his carrer and came out on top and still is threw all of the bullsh*t. S.N.oo.P D.O.gg }

    5. Kanye West{he’s diffrent and he’s not trying to be like the other and he sweet as sh*t and address issue’s then tell’s use wat he’s going to do about it in a funny manner and when he first came out he had everybody around the world wearing book bagg’s and who you know can survive a fatal accident and come out on top. }

    6. Plies{he’s a newcomer and he’s doing everything except half stepping and he’s geting right down to it no pussy footing around here and plus dat dude made the hottest song of the summer. }

    7. Rick Ross{he came out and is album was one of the best and still people don’t speak on it and he’s in every body remix and he’s just a g. }

    8. lil boosie{boosie dats the underground king he’s been on his grind for years for people who don’t know dis dude is street as it gets his jus a real a*s dude and he has two hit song’s everyone like’s the songd he’s made are possibly hood anthems. }

    9. Rich Boy{he’s hood nothing is fake about him all his song were club bangers and his album was a succes and he definately but mobile,alabama on the mappppppppppppppp ya digg. }

    10. Cassidy{he is the best freestyler but he’s been locked up and he has a lot of competition the game ain’t like it used to be it’s way more complex and i think cassidy could manage to strive his way into the top five. }

    Don’t get me wrong this was only my opinion they’re are many other great rappers but i think these are the top ten and if there was a top twenty there would be many more great rappers init

    t-pain is great but unnfortunately he’s and supposed to be r&b singer

  163. 'Dub Says:

    Wow! Ya’ll know the hottest tracks are downloaded, ripped or burned! Survey a “hip hop” fan’s cd player or MP3 player. You can track downloads and sales all you want but you won’t get the real numbers. That’s how we do. Unfortunately the real…the underground (hip hop) can’t be tracked correctly which leads to all this c’RAP music being listed as hot! MTV never represented hip hop the right way from the start. If you have to come to these sites and base decisions from these types of lists, you’re lost already. Hip hop recognizes hip hop (real recognizes real). No worries though, I’ll teach my children what hip hop was and can be. The underground is underground for a reason, just like you have to dig to find GOLD! That way you always can find it without it being tainted. “Kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet…”

    This is the real list, Mtv don’t know what they are talking about. Let BET put out a list of who’s hot in the rap game and it won’t be no where close to Mtv’s list.

  166. nasey Says:

    fa real i think they made this list from how much the rappers are in demand. really i think its the quality of the music not the quantity of record sales. weezy # 1 cus alot of people hop on the band wagon cus they following someone cus they think its cool like a person that barely rap about anything. nas will always be #1. he rap about ‘real’ stuff and he versatile now being versatile is what really get me liking rappers.

    andre 3000? u gotta like the guy but top 10? no way, top 20? still questionable..kanye as low as he is? WHAT?! even if ya dont like the guy..his album is the most anticipated, he has the most buzz, great music..kanye definately 1

  168. jw Says:

    This list is pure garbage. I mean really these people pay their way to be on top of lists, countdowns and to get radio airplay. Back in the day, Tone Loc was on every radio station and his video was on every video show but every one knew Rakim was #1 even though main stream didn’t have a clue. (No offense meant to Tone Loc)How do you even have a list about today’s mc without NAS!!!!Are these people smoking? This is the reason why I can not take MTV or BET seriously. They have the nerve to put LIL WAYNE as #1 this is foolishness. Jay-Z’s “show me what you got” was hotter than lil wayne’s whole album!!!It’s true, what do they define as hot “street buzz or record sales”. Why not get really hip hop spokespeople to judge these things. Nah, they won’t do that cause no one will get paid.

  169. Mic G. Says:

    OK THIS IS WHAT PISSES ME OFF. IF HIP HOP IS DEAD THEN IT’S BECAUSE OF U PEOPLE: THE FANS! Y’ALL BE SUPPORTING WACK ASS MUTHAFUCKAS (i.e. BOOSIE, WEBBIE, HURRICANE CHRIS etc.) AND YA’LL DON’T SUPPORT THE ONES THAT CAN ACTUALLY FUCKIN RAP (i.e. COMMON, JADAKISS, NAS, LUPE FIASCO etc.). AND ANYWAY, THIS IS MTV! WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT THEY THINK. THEY HAVEN’T REALLY SHOWN LOVE TO HIP HOP SINCE “YO! MTV RAPS”. I CAN SEE IF IT WAS BET OR SOMEBODY. SO AIN’T NO NEED 4 DEBATING OVER THIS SHIT. AND I’M OUT.

    BY THE WAY, I LIKE LIL’ WAYNE JUST AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON, BUT DON’T BE TRYIN TO JUMP ON THE WEEZY BANDWAGON SINCE THIS “CARTER” ERA STARTED. IF U A TRUE FAN OF WEEZY, U BEEN BUMPING HIS SHIT SHINCE THA BLOCK IS HOT. PERIOD.

  171. chris Says:

    First of all if you watched the program the question that was ask was “Who was the hottest MC in the game right now. First of Jay-z is not that damn hot because all he does is a hook on someone else record and then when he publishes his own album you have one or two songs that are hot. So lets keep it real. We as people don’t know how to let go and move on NAS(HOT), The Game (HOT), 50 cent (HOT)however Lil Wayne the dude not only does spot appearance on another fellow artist record but the dude is constantly on his game and the key word reinventing himself and not afraid to do it either. Jay stay that same (just like his girlfriend). Can he rap? Yes he can however can he be original without stealing other rappers lines and trying to make them his own.

  172. Mr. Faciane Says:

    1)Lil Wayne (Wayne is B.R.A. all day)

    ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT ANYONE WHO HAS LIL WAYNE THE SAME LIL WAYNE WHO GOT HIS FLOW FROM ANOTHER RAPPER AND KISSED ANOTHER MAN AS A TOP 10 RAPPER DOSENT KNOW ANYHTING ABOUT MUSIC PERIOD! BEST RAPPER IN THE GAME?! HARDLY

    1.50-CENT- JUST BECAUSE HE RUNS RAP RIGHT NOW CHECK THE BOOKS 400 MILLION OFF OF 10% OF OWNER SHIP THATS CRAZY!

    2.NAS- THE BEST PURE RAPPER IN THE GAME

    3.Jay-z- THE SECOND BEST RAPPER IN THE GAME MAYBE THE BEST COMBINATION OF A RAPPER AND BUISNESS MAN

    4.BLACK THOUGHT- IF YOU DONT KNOW BLACK THOUGHT YOU DONT KNOW MUSIC

    5.COMMON- JUST GOOD MUSIC HAS A MESSAGE FOR THE PEOPLE

    6. BEANIE SEAGIL- THE BEST HARDCORE MC IN THE GAME HE IS A COMBINATION OF JADA AND STYLES P PUNCHLINES LYRICS WITH HARD RYHMES

    7.STYLES P- THE HARDEST POINT BLANK PERIOD

    8. Jada Kiss- BEEN KILLING IT FOR HOW LONG HE’S THE PROTOTYPE OF THE MODERN RAPPER

    9.Marshal Mathers- I probably should have him higher this dude is one of the best lyricist I have ever herd I cant think of anybody who might be able to beat him in a battle.

    10.CASSIDY- THE BEST UP AND COMING RAPPER IN THE GAME HOW THE HELL CAN YOU CALL WAYNE THE BEST WITH THIS CAT RAPPING HE WOULD RAP CIRCLE’S AROUND WAYNE

    . IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC AND HIP HOP NAMES LIKE LIL WAYNE AND YOUNG JEEZY AND THE GAME WOULD NEVER ENTER THE DISSCUSSION AS THE BEST RAPPERS IN THE GAME ANYBODY WHO SAYS THEY DO SHOULD BE SMACKED AND THERE MOTHERS SHOULD BE SMACKED FOR HAVING YOU.

  182. JO Says:

    THis list that was made is straight up garbage. Firstly, to be a hot rapper, 3 main things should be token in consideration and that is Lyrics, credility for the rhyms(No Ghost Writers) and Appeal. What is the purpose of being a rapper if you pay for your lyrics, thus my main issue with Wayne being on the list, yes he has Currency and the rest of Young Money on his lyric parole(..cough Gilly the Kid). Plus half of Wayne’s fan do not even listen to what he is actually saying. Come on, my cousins love wayne, but when asked what was tigh about his rhyme, they can’t say shit but sang hooks.Basically the top 5 is:

    1:Kanye-Proven to shine through record sales, aight lyrics
    2:Jay-Z-Rapping betta than 99.9% of the younger weaker rappers, lyrical genius, Poor selection of songs on KIngdom
    Come.
    3:Bun B-Honestly the true King of the South, kills whomever track that he is on. Not a lot of Appeal
    4:Andre 3000-show that lyrics do matter, killed the Unk “Walk it Out” remix, high appeal but low street cred.
    5:Nas-had one of the best albums of the year, made younger rapper what lyrics is all about, step your game up

    Note: Currency should have some place on the top ten since he do write for Wayne, Baby, and his himself. He is talented. T.I is in their just becasue he has a higher apeal then LUda, but luda is a better rapper hands down. Yong Joc, I guess since he do make club banger, but has no lyrics.

  183. JO Says:

    The list should include Cassidy, Lupe, Common, Jadakis, and the Clipses, at least they have true coo ass lyrics and puchlines. But since they are not in the media like that and singing about Crack(well.. not the Clipses) then the radio is going to constantly be garbage like that 50 cent bullshit or some person trying to dance instead of rap.

  184. Q Says:

    1. UGK- in 20 years NEVER had a wack album, nuff said.

    2. Scarface- Undesputed King of the South.

    3. Outkast- cutting edge innovators of the Rap industry.

    4. Project Pat- can get high and take out any rapper in the game today, but is too thugged out to care to do so.

    5. Lil’ Wayne- gaining more respect and fan base as each album drops.

    6. Nas- the only rapper to go verse for verse on a cameo with the super lyricist Kool G Rap and not look stupid. Also the King of NY.

    7. Twista- still living off sucess of Adreneline Rush, and not many rappers quick to challenge his tongue-twisting skills.

    8. Eightball & MJG- were sittin on top of the world until Puff Daddy got ahold of them.

    9.Eminem- deadly white boy

    10. 50- Dr. Dre’s tracks cover up 50’s Dr. Suess rhyming ablity.

    #4. Andree 3000 (No one more creative in tha game)

    #5. Luda (One of the smartest rappers out)

  190. Donny Braz Says:

    …..By the way..50 cent & Young Jeezy have no business on a “best rapper” list. If marketing was gonna be factored in, we could just put Pharrell & Master P & Puffy on tha list!!!

  195. 2behonest Says:

    theres a difference bewteen “hip-hop” & “rap” ..2pac, B.I.G.,Common,Nas,HIP-HOP…T.i.,Wayne,Cassidy,Game,50 RAP I think people are confused.

  196. Dyno Says:

    Jay Z is garbage. Overated.We do not listen to that BS in Texas. He just happen to have a few hits with smaples as the hooks after Pac and Biggy left eh game. The fans made him.
    I wil buy everything Wayne put out.
    I wil buy everything 50 put out. 50 juast tells the truth too much
    TI is okay, but his hooks suck and he tries to hard to be hard.
    Ludicris is underated . Eminem is nothing but a white Ludicrs. I think ludiris battle or beef wise will eat most up. The dude is intelligent.

    Nas is wining too much because DK UNK gets more play than he does.

    Kanye is more of a POP rapper( Overated). Bought his first almum and never will buy another.

    Gamer is OK, He is a blood and thst’d what get him by. Like hsi first almbu althogh it seems a little to programed.

    Go and buy Webbie’s album. The younger will eat Cassidy up if he needs too. He is gutta.

    Most of the rappers are not gutta. I like common cause he does what is him the same Webbie.

    Most are lucky Mr. Mike formerly of suave house records is not Mainstream.
    Again Jay Z is BS.”Your Boy is Wack) with all of those god damn samples as hooks. Be innovative.

  197. J.O.S.H Says:

    I THINK MTV IS WRONG TOO… JIM JONES IS NOT HOT JUELZ IS WAY HOTTER AND THE LYRICS R CRAZY!!!!
    BUT THIS MY TOP 5 NOT 10 BECAUSE 5 ARE NOT HOT

    1. LIL WAYNE-UNDISPUTED KING
    2.TI-(KING AND TI VS TIP SOUND THE SAME)
    3.KANYE WEST- CRAZY LYRICS AND CRAZY BEATS
    4.JAY-Z – OLD AS HELL BUT STILL CRAZY LYRICS
    5.CASSIDY- WHEN HE COME OUT NIGGAS BETTER STEP BACK
    (CASSIDY AND LIL WAYNE= DREAM MIXTAPE ALBUM)

  198. J.O.S.H Says:

    AND LUDACRIS SHOULD HAVE BN ON THE TOP 5 ON MTV NO ONE CAN TOUCH HIM LYRICALLY EXCEPT WEEZY. AND ONLY WEEZY THATS IT.. PERIOD

  199. Big Chris aka Face Says:

    Jay Z is #1 by far noone can touch him, lil wayne is hot but what does he rap about, he will never be on the level of hov , he can go outside of the box and still do great music,and jim jones is not a rapper.

  200. Stank Funk Music Says:

    This whole top 10 is a joke, and was done beause they had not a damn thing to do. “Real Hip Hop Fans” know that as long as Rakim is still breathing he’s # 1, and it’s not even close! As long as LL is breathing… he’s right there! Look at that top 10 & tell me how many of them talk about being in a club, and drinking Patron. Or… talk about a 64 Impala. Hip Hop was based on being versatile, having fun. Not with everyone talking about the same damn thing. You can hate Jay-Z all you want, but the boy is wicked. Ice Cube (come on now… who made you wanna get on a record & cuss?)! There’s way too many & that list is sorry.

  203. LOL Says:

    Yo Wayne is the hottest dude in the game right now, that is hands down. If he was marketed right he would sell double plat easy. Now what really erks me is that Common, Jay-z and Andre 3000 made this list. Not only do none of them have a rap image, for the most part they have not put out any thing consistently within the last year. I think some good replacement for them would be Mike Jones, Young Buck and Fabulous. Now I’m just throwing those dudes out there. I sure that you could make an argument of others, but those three. NO WAY.

  204. Loosefoot333 Says:

    all I gotta say is that these dudes are paid. Regardless of what order you put them in. It also depends on the mood they put you in so i don’t see rank. rank is sooo over rated. I am the type and so are my people that listen to lots and lots of music not just one type. Our variety gives us opportunity to examine what we like and learn the words if we fuks with the beat. An you know we don’t listen to a wacked song. So having these guys in order ain’t fair. I like them all
