Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.Jay-Z’s Hottest MC In The Game Acceptance Speech

Speeech:
“MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation. Although I don’t strive to be ‘hot’ for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term ‘best rapper alive’ as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I’ve allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that’s why I continue to push myself until exhaustion … salute.
“Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may … Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission. As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year . (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)”
Smartest thing Jay has said in his life
Mtv takes a L
…and thats why jay IS the Best rapper alive…..and when its all said and done, he should be the greatest EVER based on longevity and product….good $hit
Hov spoke honestly.
Nicely done.. class act. No Beyonce needed.
Not really worried abotu Eminem or the MTV list.. because they got #1 right… I couldn’t care less about the “best” losers 2-10.
[...] MTV / RR [...]
hov knows what he’s talking about. how did em not make the list? just doesn’t make sense
Billy Bone just said the stupidest thing ever. Everyone jump on Jays dick because he said something that the whole world is saying? Fuck that everyone knows Em should be on this wack list but who really cares? MTV proved they know nothing just look at there top 5 its embarrassing
so cute. hovy hov you so deserve to be number one. even if you not the number one for beyonce, for your fans you will always be.
Eminem is overrated because he’s White. He sold 600,000 but the buzz wasn’t there & the verse on forever was good but c’mon son
[...] to RapRadar for this. Nice to see Hov discuss Eminem’s omission which immediately makes the MTV list [...]
hov knows politics…
Eminem is better than Jay in my book
u know what…i think it’s obvious now that MTV didn’t put eminem on the list just for the controversy. did u guys listen to the interview that green lantern did with shaheem from mtv? he was dodgin’ the question…jay is the hottest MC, but not putting Em is a crime MTV.
And, Eminem murdered you on your own shit
You a dick-riding faggot, you love the attention – Nas
Hov deserves tha top spot no doubt that NY concert was ridiculous and em aint performin like he used to…But Em shoulda been in the top 5… them westwood freestyles and mariah diss were shittin lyrically..But I know EM could give a fuck less about this list…Dope shit with that Jay z co sign…
i dont think em really gives a shit about the list either, but knowing him, it’s just gunna make him work even harder in the lab to produce such a great product that will be Relapse 2.
No surprise…he’s just confirming what everyone else already knows. But good to hear.
Jay-z deserved the top 1, but he’s right eminem should’ve been atleast on top 5
lol..confirming what everyone knows????what is the guy confirming????that Em is the best rapper alive….You guys got your ass blasted when Eminem won the Best Rapper Ever Contest on Vibe
like i said he should b there but i quote “in this industry im a cause of alot of envy so when im not put on this list this shit does not offend me”
em is better than Jay but you gotta respect the love from Hov Man shit If i was him and the position he would be in i wouldnt say nothing becuz at this point all Jay-Z fans think em is number 2 to Jay and he is the only acceptable competition in a debate of whos the best alive and for him 2 lose to em damn near 4 times with 2 of them being fans polls and also losing in that 1st week battle for him to say naw That aint rite you gotta applaud shawn for his respect for the Game my only question is why didnt he speak up on that year when Nas wasnt on the list and why he didnt speak up about them not having Kid Cudi on that list
But yea to all them Jay Fans even Jay is a Stan I couldnt even imagine Jay having a Kanye moment and he just did and thru the internet at that
…..So Yea Em>Jay
*also sidebar they said the reason he wasnt on there is becuz he left the scene after relapse came out
to refute that claim how did he go into hiding when he performed at Both MTV awards at the VMAs and at The MTV Movie Awards like MTV did this to spark controversy and shit like this make the lil mama and Kanye Stunt look staged I was watching real world challenegs the other day man that shit is so scripted its funny they got people changing tones and everything
MTV loses alot of credibilty this year if this is the case becuz them saying hes not relevent but him being at both of their award shows and winning all of their awards is very contradictory to what they are saying I mean he is the headliner for the Voodoo festival he performed at MTv VMAs and that MTV movie thing his return was so powerful that he bought bacc RapCity not just RapCity but RapCity with Big Tigger LOL Come on MTV give cuz a Number that shit could be 10 but give him a number
Respect Jay
Eminem is #1
While I agree with what I think you’re trying to say, I think what you said suggests – in part – that sales figures speak directly to Eminem’s skill. But I’m sure you’d agree if Em only sold one record he should still be in that list. I just think your wording throws your message off a bit.
That is all.
look at all these suckaaas get emotionnal!!!
Damn get over it! You should look up the definition of “hot” before posting stupid comments.
If Jay didn’t said what he said, these same cocksuckers would be here callin’ him a hater.
And one question for jay haters, Why R U on this page in the first place??? Be relevant!
i just read their excuse for not putting em on its the lamest shit they have put andree 3000 on for less i remember they used to put him on for doing 2 or 3 verses in the entire year
LOL @ em EVER being better than jay… this aint true on any planet…
Salute you Jay…you really is the best rapper alive !
I think that way too many people are giving this topic too much hype! Who cares what the 10 people in the Hip-Hop Brain Trust thinks? Who are these, “10 passionate, informed and opinionated people”, that I should care what THEY think is the hottest MC’s in the game? GTFOH!!!
Rapradar loses credibility in this Eminem/Hottest discussion because Em(or at least his camp) has equity in the site…What happened to full disclosure/journalistic integrity? C’mon Son
^ HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS
Whoever wrote that last C’mon Son comment (a fake) is a closet cocksucker (not the first commenter)
^ HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS
I’m only half those things!
All the same poster, and I suck cocks out in the open.
I AM NOT AFRAID OF SOCIAL PERSECUTION!
Not same poster, thats some poser…and Yes, I am not afraid of shit! Especially bitches
^ HAHAHA DISREGARD HALF OF THAT, I STILL SUCK COCKS
Same person. And of course I’m not afraid of bitches.
LAWL WOULDN’T IT BE SILLY TO BE AFRAID OF MYSELF!?!?
Duh. So no autophobia here.
You dickriding faggot you love the attention, Sean Carter the Gay-Z you’ll get gunned up and clapped quick.. Remember, Eminem murdered you on your own shit.
The rappers in the running to be the best ever are not trying to be the ‘hottest right now’ by being all in the spolight. Eminem, Nas, Rakim, Andre 3000, & others don’t care what the media says. MTV left Eminem off that list & he doesn’t even care. It’s only an issue because the big elephant in the room shows that Eminem is a better lyricist than Jay-Z while not even trying. None of the guys in the running to be the best ever are NOT even trying! Jay-Z is the only one seeking the accolades & attention.
@ASID…confirming what everyone knows – that Em should be on the list!
for the jay vs eminem opinions…..
one word
RENEGADE
out 1
LMAO at some cunt below, saying Em is overrated because he’s white.
Shut the fuck up with that, everyone was done with that in 01 after MMLP dropped.
Overrated my ass, you hear Em slaughter Redman? or anniliate mr #1 here on Renegade even though Jay had a chance to hear them verses! because Em’s were old (originally with Royce) and he still couldn’t top them!
Name one rapper that comes close to the lyricism / flow of “Stay Wide Awake”.
Whether he’s black or white – White America, Till I Collapse, The Way I Am, Renegade, Soldier, Square Dance, Get U Mad… On and on – His skin color doesn’t matter.
He changes every album, he’s produced the best of his own shit (including “Lose Yourself”) and he slaughters any rapper who gets on a track with or challenges him.
Eminem = GOAT.
Let me tell yall something! All these rap list are fake and fony popularity contest to who image is the best. You really going to tell me that Eminem is a better rapper than Ice Cube,Twista and Scarface. If you know true hip-hop you will know its about Delivery, Timing, Passion, Lyrical Content, and Swagger. If you have any sense you would know that Eminem(Elvis) fan base is probably majority white. That means that white people are the majority so he’s going to sell alot of records. To be truthful his not even average. His content is Korny and his passion will never be real because his not from the hood. My real hip=hop fans no what I’m talkin about. Don’t get me wrong there are white rappers with passion like Paul Wall so I’m not discriminating because he is white. So all of these who is the best rapper right now is in the eye of the beholder. To be honest with you I have bought a DMX album before I have bought a Jay Z album. I have respect for Jay he is very talented but don’t have the delivery and timing of a Ice Cube. 111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To tell you how messed up this popularity contest who the hottest rapper is. I have always been a hip-hop fan since I was a kid rappers delight T3 and I never have bought a Jay Z album and he has suppose to have beat out Elvis for 11 #1 record releases. Don’t get me wrong he has had some nice popular songs and put the hood up front. Can I say I can understand his lyrics like a 2Pac or Big no. Real recognize real I’m just saying. We need to let go of these popularity rapper ratings. Because they are legit rappers out there they can’t sale because the media has stifled they images in today’s young teen generation popularity contest. Have you ever notice 106 audience is about 15-20. I’m just saying we need to cover all rappers more equally.1111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!REAL TALK
