J.Cole not making it was probably the biggest crock of shit about this list. Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa were completely disposable. And yes, Nicki Perry shouldnt make the list off Pop records but take those and what did she have? Leaving off for that would have been the “controversy”. But what they did wasnt controversial, it was just poor judgement.
I see this list going the way of the 5 mic Source rating very soon.
Man, its quite obvious that you don’t listen to rap that well. Like my man Rwizzle said , rick ross has been killing it the past 2 years, He started his own label, Which he signed Meek Millz too.(Also Millz is hot}But my point is Ross is at the top of the rap game aat this current moment by far. He got lyrics, bangers, and which is really impressive is his clever hooks. as far as hooks, i got him with -jay z, 50. eminem, kanye,lil wayne.
Forgot to say, i do think that list is horrible though by the way, its the worst list ive seen from mtv since they beeen doing it. Shows not many hot artists out there anymore.
i made an account just to comment on this shit, its such HORSE SHIT what the fuck kind of list is that. how about nas, eminem, pac, big pun and biggie for you fake hoes that listen to nicki and rihannas cupcake remix wit the nigga that beat her on the same track and they back together THATS WHATS WRONG WITH SOCIETY THESE DAYS.. now imma go ham the reason why nicki shouldnt be above wayne is because wayne OWNS her literally. does not make sense. and wayne sold more than her. same way JCOLE sold more than wiz but everybody cockrides wiz even though HE STRAIGHT CHEEKS
Maaaaane, fuk the bullshit….There is no way J. Cole is not on this list. Dare to compare…Cole’s album bumps from front to back. Put that mufukka in and let it ride. And, peep the album jacket, niccas….Written by, performed by, produced by J Cole…Fuk what you heard. Minimal features….Jay-Z gave yo boy chance, but let the nicca handle his own bizz and he held his own, gold first time out….And I fux with Cole, because he let’s the folks know that he STILL finished college on they azz
I see, I said, jealousy, I said
Got the whole industry mad at me, I said,
Then B.I. said, Cole remind yourself,
Nobody built like you, you designed yourself
I agree, I said, my one of kind self,
Gets stoned everyday like Jesus did,
What he said, I said, has been said before,
Just keep doing yo thing, Cole, say no more….
Here’s what the list should of been
1. Kanye West- MBDTF n WTT were amazing albums n plus the tours to match
2. Drake- Album did really good, a lil bit too RnB. Crazy success with I’m on one.
3. Lil Wayne- numbers don’t lie weezy still did his thing
4. Rick Ross-even though his album was pushed back. He came back harder with rich forever. Which Nigel himself said it can be considered an album.
5. Jay-Z- The success of WTT was too crazy including the tour.
6. J. Cole- Album did pretty well. Had some great singles too. Became a little quiet towards the end of the year.
7. Wiz Khalifa- Album sold well but it wasn’t that great of an album. He did get more of a mainstream fan base now.
8. Big Sean- Finally released his album n it did ok. Singles are really popular
9. Wale- Album did pretty good n lotus flower bomb is tearing up the charts.
10. Young Jeezy- Album did pretty good and grinded madd hard with the mixtapes. I paid attention to that. Plus the freestyles
Honorable Mentions: (no particular order)
Meek Mill
T.I.
2 Chainz
Fabolous
Lloyd Banks
Kendrick Lamar
Asap Rocky
French Montana
Etc..
Nicki Minaj didn’t make my list because she is too pop now. Wayyy too pop now. If that’s what she wants to do than coo but let’s not acknowledge her for something she’s not.
So cool! anyway I said i would prefer to appreciate some hot white ladies shaking their body with nothing dressing up and big bxxbs among hundreds of black guys in community called ” BlackWhiteFriends.?0M “woow so nice, i’ve got one place where gathers those hot interracial video and i will put it out to share. ” BlackWhiteFriends.?0M “my username is Derci there.so sexy.free to join C’MON NOW!!!
the list is bullshit because you have too much criteria for most of these mc’s. nicki is pop..jayz at 6..com’on son..lol. j.cole not on the list…com’on son. meek mills doesnt have an album out, so who did he outsell…com’on son. Rick ross was hot, but of course he didnt have the album sales. So once you make the criteria “just the hottest of that year with buzz radio play…you’ll have a much better list of mc’s. Having money as a criteria…jayz should be #1 for that alone….album sales lil wayne should be #1 for that alone. So cut out the other bullshit criteria and make it about being hot. Young jeezy not on the list…COM’ON SON!!!!! OHhh yea…DETROIT IS IN THE FUCKIN BUILDING!!!
The only problem I have with this list is Wiz being on it. He even admitted that his album was trash. Put J. Cole in his spot and replace Nicki Gaga with Kendrick Lamar (Section.80 was album of the year but most of you probably didn’t even hear it) and the list is fine.
meek millie made da list cuz he bringing dat real shit bakk too hip hop and da media recognize it, meek a real ass nigga, ya mean u hear da pain n dis nigga voice when he spit dat real shit coming from da struggle, dats wat dat real hip hop is all about, yall niggas into dat fuckin ringtone rap, jus by reading yall comments i can tell yall dont know bout dat real hip hop, where da fuck is yall niggas from lol, meek being on da list is fuckin great, yall niggas can stick too dat pop hip hop yall like n kick rocks, philly in dis bitch n we taking dis rap shit ova!! #215mmg
god damn yall niggas complain too fuckin much jesus christ why the fuck would u expect a room full of ppl to come up wit a list that is exactly like the one in your own fuckin head its impossible to please all of yall.
if u hate this shit so much would u rather mtv stop doing all together then there will be no list at all.
then u get ppl like @fuck that making ridiculous statements that have nothing to do with nothing, or the other 40ppl that will post their own 1-10 list that nobody will fuckin read.
just becasue nicki and drake are on young money doesnt mean they cant be hotter than wayne.
i love the fact that mtv makes it clear its only a 1yr hot mc list not lifetime, not most lyrical.
nobody else is doin this. if u dont like it, get the webcam get some RESPECTED ppl to sit down and chop it up and make the RTNY hottest 10mcs of 2011 list. i’m available if u need me on that panel also
my only issue is wiz and wale over jcole. everything else wasnt perfect but i can live wit it
lol u must be slow y the fuck r u even on here bitchin if our debate bothers u that much. If u read the headline it clearly says DEBATE retard. There’s a reason y there’s a comment section for people to express their opinions about the topic. U did the same thing like everyone else with ur comment at the end. So y the fuck r u crying? If u don’t like something simply don’t look at it dumbass smh
Agreed. They need to get off YMCMB and MM’s jock already. I love Meek Mill, but ask the average radio listener who he is, and they will have no idea who the eff he is, but I’m pretty sure they all know who Cole, Big Sean, and Wiz are.
This List is Fine, But Nicki Should Have been Placed Wayyyy lower, and Millz Should of Been Replaced with Cole, But Wiz is Fine Where he’s at Considering that he is the ONLY Rap Artist Who Topped The Hot 100 Charts
My whole thing is this: Why even entertain these things? We all know this “panel” fails to deliver anything close to a good list every year and we all know these people have no real knowledge of what makes a hot mc (some of these people shouldn’t even be considered one.) But really if we just ignore those retarded behind the scenes mtv producers or source magazine writers then this mtv list bullshit will fade away and will save us the unnecessary agitation.
Wayne should’ve been #2 because he sold a mill the first week. NOBODY else has done that shit. And I only put Drake as #1 because Wayne’s album dissapointed some, while Drake sold 700K and was applauded by his fans. Plus, dude is all over the radoo.
Ross is a badd mf, but he hasn’t yet had a big selling album.
And though I’m not a Cole fan, he should’ve at least made the list.
Also, where is Mac Miller? Dude had the biggest selling independent album since Dogg Pound. Granted, I can’t name a song by this cat, but that should be acknowledged.
Its a damn popularity contest , plain and simple .. I guess MTV’s definition of “hot” is different then mines, because they just listed the artist who was buzzing the most in 11 , not lyrical ability, substance, style none of that , that’s my definition of” hot”..
This is dumb. No disrespect. You’re JUST talking how good rappers sre lyrically. Did you forget that MTV’s list was based on a number of things? It’s not all about album sales. Rick Ross is number one not just because of his rap skills but also because of what he ha accomplished: hit songs, mix tape, a record lablel, making millions, etc.
Nicki minaj should have been under Lil Wayne. But she flea deserve to on that list because of how much she has accomplished: songs with lady gaga, Madonna, etc. plus she has held down her spot for number one female hip hop artist.
Kane west number 1? What else has he done besides the album? And besides his clothing line? Better yet, what has done more than Drake or Lil Wayne or Rick Ross in 2011? REMEMBER its not all about lyrics and sales.
I’m not saying the list is 1000% correct but it’s pretty accurate.
What else has he done? How about the albums, the tours, the radio play. Watch the throne was one of the most talked about albums of the year including MBTDF. This list is garbage because the writers are not independently thinking they have their favorites but their favorites are not hip-hops favorite in correct order. Why not let the people vote. We are the one’s who buy the albums, go to the tours, give them their fame or popularity. MTV doesn’t even play their music anyway!
First off Kanye and Jay-Z are automatically number one and two (respectively) for the success for WTT. The tour, the album, them just being them made those spots owned!! Like Rick Ross and Young Money are not up there with them, be real! Looking at sales, lyricism, and fan bases, of course the ones in the game for longest are always going to win. MTV doesn’t even focus on music anymore so I don’t know what made them think they could get away with this shit. Like seriously it was like a huge dick-riding fest.
So my list goes:
1. Kanye for WTT and MBDTF
2. Jay-Z for WTT; even though the really good songs don’t get play because it doesn’t relate to “urban” music. (Murder to Excellence, New Day, etc.)
3. Common for the Dreamer but then again real hip-hop is never really mentioned the whole “urban” thing.
4. Lil Wayne for the carter 4 well anticipated but not really worth the hype or praise if you ask me.
5. Rick Ross, he deserves props because he was no where on the map and then just blew up in a year and stayed up but not that up.
6. Young Jeezy, he really fell off the grid for a moment and then he album dropped and once again everyone was on his tip.
7. J. Cole for sideline story. So many good ass songs way better than what they decide to play on the radio from it.
8. Wale, I’ve always been a fan of wale but for some reason his album didn’t live up for me but it was still a good ass album.
9. Big Sean his album is way more than ASS and Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay but the good stuff never gets radio play.
10. Kendrick Lamar, he just speaks the truth and he deserves his spot way more than the commercialized “rappers” that are out.
04.12.12 at 12:41 pm
Realist
DUMMIES on this site, man. It’s called, “MTV’s HOTTEST….HOTTEST ” (not best) MCS. With that being said Nicki Minaj was one of the HOTTEST. J cole was one of the hottest, too but his buzz kinda died down with his album. Calm down. It’s just a list. Y’all get so caught up on titles and list y’all forget to enjoy the music.

Well, even with this weather, the fihnsig is still great. So get out, dress warm and stay dry, you will be surprised what you might stick. The Lower Sac is where it’s at right now. Big rainbows, a lot of bugs and with the flows at 4000cfs, the river is in perfect condition. Most of the fish being landed are 14-18 , but being that it is the lower sac, there have been some piggy’s in the 20-22 class landed too, with a few hooked in the mid 20s as well. While most of the big fish are all about the stones, the smaller guys are keying in on caddis and mayflys, but also glo bugs and unreal eggs the higher up you get in the river. As far as equipment goes I like to use my Redington CPX 10’6” 6wt switch with Rio’s 6/7 Switch line, but a 10ft 5wt or 9’6” 6wt rods would do just as good and don’t forget about tippet, 2-4x fluoro is the way to go with the clear water. What’s nice about this time of year is that there are a lot of big fish in the system and hooking one in the mid 20 s is not uncommon. Again the Lower Sac is where it’s at. The American River is fihnsig fair. The winter fish are still in either spawning or are down runners aka post spawn. Please watch were you wade, and please don’t step on the redds. These down runners are just that, all done spawning and heading back down river to head to the ocean to get ready for next year’s run. But while heading back they are easily persuaded to eat whatever you throw, whether it’s swung or drifted in their direction. Please land and release these fish ASAP. With these past few storms, the fihnsig has really picked up. We have seen some fresh winter/spring run steelhead come in, and it will only get better as the days go by and with the rain still coming down in the weeks to follow. If you like to swing, well get out and do it. It’s that time to swing for those BLUEBACKS. Swinging slim black patterns have been producing nicely for me, while others are doing well with egg sucking leeches, I do know personally that tradition black spey patterns are working well too. If you like to nymph, find areas that steelhead will hold before or after a chute that has some depth and be ready. Using glo bugs, unreal eggs, mayflys, caddis and steelhead nymph patters are working well. Again I love using my 10’6” Redington 6wt switch, but 10ft 6wt and 10ft 7wt rods will work too, and tippet again 2-4x fluoro is the way to go. Bluebacks are in, and it’s time to get out and hunt them down. The Feather River is slow right now, with a fish or 2 landed each outing. But don’t be discouraged, it can pop off at anytime with some of the best steelhead fihnsig in the valley. March is when it starts and doesn’t die down until almost June. Fishing for these guys is a bit different than your normal steelhead, where you are using bright steelhead patterns and nymphs. These guys are just like big trout, so your smaller mayflys, caddis, san juans, Montana princes, fast water princes and stones work the best. But having a few drys in these patterns and a few glo bugs and unreal eggs in your box won’t hurt either. I know it sounds like a broken record, but I like my 10’6” Redington 6wt switch, but a 10ft 6wt or 7wt is all you need for this river, and again 2-4x fluoro tippet is best on this clear water. These fish are hot, and will test your abilities to fight fresh fish. Be ready for some drag smoking runs and some aerial acrobatics. These fish are awesome, and again they are HOT HOT HOT! The Yuba River was fihnsig great until these storms came in. Even thought the Yuba is at 2000cfs, it’s Deer Creek that’s giving the Yuba some trouble and that chocolate milk color, its flowing at 3000cfs. We will need almost 2 weeks without rain for the Yuba to come back into fishable shape. The good thing about the chocolate milk is that it’s giving the trout and steelhead time and cover to spawn without being harassed by fisherman or predators. Once the water clarity comes back to normal, expect it to be time for skwala stones, march browns, mayflys, small red copper johns and san juan worms to be the go to bugs, and having a glo bug or unreal egg would be a good choice to have in your box too. On this river I like to use my 10’6” Redington 5wt switch, and feel that a 10ft 5wt is awesome on this river, and when this river is gin clear the only tippet I use is fluoro 2x-4x. This fish are hot and probably pound for pound the best fighting trout in the state, so be ready. The average fish on the Yuba is 14-17” with many pushing the 20” mark, and an occasional fish over 20”. But again these fish are hot to trot, and it’s one of my favorite rivers in the state. All these flys that I have mentioned can all be purchased at Mosquito Creek, as well as tippet, indicators, shot and anything else needed for your fly fihnsig excursion. And if you need a new set up for one of these rivers they have exactly what you need. If you are looking to book either a drift trip or a walk and wade trip, and you book it through Mosquito Creek Outfitters or call me or email me and state that you read this post you will receive a $50 discount on a full day or $25 on a half day. Book your trip now before it’s too late. FYI to all, from June till October I will be guiding in Alaska. Even though I will be out of state you can still book a trip for when I get back. October is a great time on all Sac Valley Rivers, all those stated in this post will be on fire when I get back. If you are looking to book a trip with me after I get back, don’t worry you will still have that opportunity. I will leave the proper contact information with Mosquito Creek Outfitters, as well as on my website under my contact info.

J.Cole not making it was probably the biggest crock of shit about this list. Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa were completely disposable. And yes, Nicki Perry shouldnt make the list off Pop records but take those and what did she have? Leaving off for that would have been the “controversy”. But what they did wasnt controversial, it was just poor judgement.
I see this list going the way of the 5 mic Source rating very soon.
Too much dick riding as usual from MTV. And
J cole not being on the list was bullshit.
MTV keeps disappointing.. Starting your own hottest mc list might be a good idea.
Meek Mills shit slaps, although lyrically not the best. By the way, how in the FUCK did Rick Ross get number 1. He fucking sucks at rapping.
I disagree…ross can rap his ass off, he just doesn’t sell like he should. he’s been putting out some heat for at least 2yrs now.
Man, its quite obvious that you don’t listen to rap that well. Like my man Rwizzle said , rick ross has been killing it the past 2 years, He started his own label, Which he signed Meek Millz too.(Also Millz is hot}But my point is Ross is at the top of the rap game aat this current moment by far.

Forgot to say, i do think that list is horrible though by the way, its the worst list ive seen from mtv since they beeen doing it. Shows not many hot artists out there anymore.
Agreed with everything you said Nigel, this list is just as irrelevant as the source 5 mics are now! Already knew MTV was gonna dick ride Ross to #1
i made an account just to comment on this shit, its such HORSE SHIT what the fuck kind of list is that. how about nas, eminem, pac, big pun and biggie for you fake hoes that listen to nicki and rihannas cupcake remix wit the nigga that beat her on the same track and they back together THATS WHATS WRONG WITH SOCIETY THESE DAYS.. now imma go ham the reason why nicki shouldnt be above wayne is because wayne OWNS her literally. does not make sense. and wayne sold more than her. same way JCOLE sold more than wiz but everybody cockrides wiz even though HE STRAIGHT CHEEKS
and fuck rick ross, he gets good beats for me to shit on
Maaaaane, fuk the bullshit….There is no way J. Cole is not on this list. Dare to compare…Cole’s album bumps from front to back. Put that mufukka in and let it ride. And, peep the album jacket, niccas….Written by, performed by, produced by J Cole…Fuk what you heard.

Somebody call the brinks truck the boss back
thank you for making this list. if cole did not make this list with the year that he had, it’s just stupid
Here’s what the list should of been
1. Kanye West- MBDTF n WTT were amazing albums n plus the tours to match
2. Drake- Album did really good, a lil bit too RnB. Crazy success with I’m on one.

3. Common for the Dreamer but then again real hip-hop is never really mentioned the whole “urban” thing.
4. Lil Wayne for the carter 4 well anticipated but not really worth the hype or praise if you ask me.
5. Rick Ross, he deserves props because he was no where on the map and then just blew up in a year and stayed up but not that up.
6. Young Jeezy, he really fell off the grid for a moment and then he album dropped and once again everyone was on his tip.
7. J. Cole for sideline story. So many good ass songs way better than what they decide to play on the radio from it.
8. Wale, I’ve always been a fan of wale but for some reason his album didn’t live up for me but it was still a good ass album.
9. Big Sean his album is way more than ASS and Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay but the good stuff never gets radio play.
10. Kendrick Lamar, he just speaks the truth and he deserves his spot way more than the commercialized “rappers” that are out.
DUMMIES on this site, man. It’s called, “MTV’s HOTTEST….HOTTEST ” (not best) MCS. With that being said Nicki Minaj was one of the HOTTEST. J cole was one of the hottest, too but his buzz kinda died down with his album. Calm down. It’s just a list. Y’all get so caught up on titles and list y’all forget to enjoy the music.
Well, even with this weather, the fihnsig is still great. So get out, dress warm and stay dry, you will be surprised what you might stick. The Lower Sac is where it’s at right now. Big rainbows, a lot of bugs and with the flows at 4000cfs, the river is in perfect condition. Most of the fish being landed are 14-18 , but being that it is the lower sac, there have been some piggy’s in the 20-22 class landed too, with a few hooked in the mid 20s as well. While most of the big fish are all about the stones, the smaller guys are keying in on caddis and mayflys, but also glo bugs and unreal eggs the higher up you get in the river. As far as equipment goes I like to use my Redington CPX 10’6” 6wt switch with Rio’s 6/7 Switch line, but a 10ft 5wt or 9’6” 6wt rods would do just as good and don’t forget about tippet, 2-4x fluoro is the way to go with the clear water. What’s nice about this time of year is that there are a lot of big fish in the system and hooking one in the mid 20 s is not uncommon. Again the Lower Sac is where it’s at. The American River is fihnsig fair. The winter fish are still in either spawning or are down runners aka post spawn. Please watch were you wade, and please don’t step on the redds. These down runners are just that, all done spawning and heading back down river to head to the ocean to get ready for next year’s run. But while heading back they are easily persuaded to eat whatever you throw, whether it’s swung or drifted in their direction. Please land and release these fish ASAP. With these past few storms, the fihnsig has really picked up. We have seen some fresh winter/spring run steelhead come in, and it will only get better as the days go by and with the rain still coming down in the weeks to follow. If you like to swing, well get out and do it. It’s that time to swing for those BLUEBACKS. Swinging slim black patterns have been producing nicely for me, while others are doing well with egg sucking leeches, I do know personally that tradition black spey patterns are working well too. If you like to nymph, find areas that steelhead will hold before or after a chute that has some depth and be ready. Using glo bugs, unreal eggs, mayflys, caddis and steelhead nymph patters are working well. Again I love using my 10’6” Redington 6wt switch, but 10ft 6wt and 10ft 7wt rods will work too, and tippet again 2-4x fluoro is the way to go. Bluebacks are in, and it’s time to get out and hunt them down. The Feather River is slow right now, with a fish or 2 landed each outing. But don’t be discouraged, it can pop off at anytime with some of the best steelhead fihnsig in the valley. March is when it starts and doesn’t die down until almost June. Fishing for these guys is a bit different than your normal steelhead, where you are using bright steelhead patterns and nymphs. These guys are just like big trout, so your smaller mayflys, caddis, san juans, Montana princes, fast water princes and stones work the best. But having a few drys in these patterns and a few glo bugs and unreal eggs in your box won’t hurt either. I know it sounds like a broken record, but I like my 10’6” Redington 6wt switch, but a 10ft 6wt or 7wt is all you need for this river, and again 2-4x fluoro tippet is best on this clear water. These fish are hot, and will test your abilities to fight fresh fish. Be ready for some drag smoking runs and some aerial acrobatics. These fish are awesome, and again they are HOT HOT HOT! The Yuba River was fihnsig great until these storms came in. Even thought the Yuba is at 2000cfs, it’s Deer Creek that’s giving the Yuba some trouble and that chocolate milk color, its flowing at 3000cfs. We will need almost 2 weeks without rain for the Yuba to come back into fishable shape. The good thing about the chocolate milk is that it’s giving the trout and steelhead time and cover to spawn without being harassed by fisherman or predators. Once the water clarity comes back to normal, expect it to be time for skwala stones, march browns, mayflys, small red copper johns and san juan worms to be the go to bugs, and having a glo bug or unreal egg would be a good choice to have in your box too. On this river I like to use my 10’6” Redington 5wt switch, and feel that a 10ft 5wt is awesome on this river, and when this river is gin clear the only tippet I use is fluoro 2x-4x. This fish are hot and probably pound for pound the best fighting trout in the state, so be ready. The average fish on the Yuba is 14-17” with many pushing the 20” mark, and an occasional fish over 20”. But again these fish are hot to trot, and it’s one of my favorite rivers in the state. All these flys that I have mentioned can all be purchased at Mosquito Creek, as well as tippet, indicators, shot and anything else needed for your fly fihnsig excursion.
