    @ddave

    How can he be on this list? He’s a dope MC no doubt, but c’mon he’s gotta have material out. 1/4 of a project and a mixtape ain’t cuttin’ it. He did his thing on the BET Cypher tho.

    1.) Bawse
    2.) Canada Dry
    3.) Em
    4.) Tunechi
    4.) Hov
    5.) Yeezy
    6.) Meek
    7.) Waka
    8) Tyler The Creator
    9.) K. Dot
    10) 2 Chainz or Mac Miller

  5. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    1. Drake 2. Kanye West 3. Jay-Z 4. J. Cole 5. Eminem 6. Nicki Minaj 7. Wiz Khalifia 8. Kendrick Lamar 9. Big Sean 10. Lil’ Wayne (I wish he wasn’t on the list but the motherfucker sold 1 Mill in a week & MTV eats that shit up.)

  6. My Word says:

    People are always arguing about who’s the best rapper in Hip Hop. It it irks me when I see something like hottest( popular/commercial ) rapper at the moment. If Hip Hop is really competitive then we need something like a lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight championship mic. Who ever thinks he or she is the best has to enter the ring and battle for that mic. Then we know who is really the best MC. Not by popularity but by skills. Who is with me?

  7. firealarm says:

    I’m sure it will be as full of bullshit as the lists on this site are

  8. Brooklyn says:

    ^Yea MTV does go by album sales there little debat don’t mean shit.

  9. JAY-Z YEEZY ROSS DRAKE WEEZY TIE-J COLE AND BIG SEAN MEEK JEEZY 2 CHAINZ WIZ NICKI…DON’T KNOW THE ORDER.

  10. Kunta Kunte says:

    @my word… Just shut the fuck up you sond like a clown.

  11. Nahh says:

    Wale should be above Kendrick Lamar, tity boi,big Sean and meek mill if they Want to be considered fair/consistent. He had a bigger 2011 than any of them.

  12. BiG says:

    I see nobody puttin Common on there list. Thank you for coming to your senses becuz that album was extremly overrated.

  13. DJ 1Mic says:

    By no means is this a list of my favs or who i think is the best… this is just how i see MTV doing the list

    01. Rick Ross… i think this is a lock, he had a gigantic year, was featured on every song, killer singles, mixtape work, good lyrics, best beat selection
    02. Jay-Z… hes Jay-Z
    03. Eminem… didn’t put out a ton of material, but the shit he put out was crazy, sorta an andre 3000 year
    04. Kanye West… kinda similar year to eminem
    05. T.I…. came out of prison on FIRE, new music is bananas
    06. Lil Wayne… down year but still productive, carter 4 was pretty disappointing but still better than alot of other efforts
    07. Drake… maybe he should be higher on the list, but really as an MC he only had a handful of verses on the year
    08. Nicki Minaj…. shes a beast, had a ton of hits, she should be ahead of drake and wayne just dunno if mtv has the balls
    09. Young Jeezy… finally dropped 103, had 2 mixtapes that were hot, hes a solid #9
    10. B.O.B..i guess…. honestly after the first 9, this spot could go to anyone, game had the best whole album, j cole and meek had hits, anyone in slaughterhouse can make a case for mc of the year, wale my dude, common had a good album but no one was talking about him before the drake beef, mac miller sold some albums and has a nice fan base, busta had the verse of the year but nothing else, i dunno who to put here really

  14. Junior says:

    Fuck Wale! That coon better not be no where on this list.

  15. The Truth says:

    MTV loves Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye, Nicki Minaj, Mac Miller, Drake, and Tyler, The Creator so expect them to have gurantee spots.

  16. Nigger hater says:

    Bunch of niggers debating shitting ear noise passing as music. Fuck you!

  17. King says:

    Tech N9ne better not be on here because the Lil’ Wayne co sign. And the RED Album was garbage so Game won’t make top 50 of 2011.

  18. M.T says:

    the mtv hottest mc list is irrelevant.

  19. DJ 1Mic says:

    what was garbage about the game album? just curious… i thought there was alot of good music on there similar to the documentary his first album

    Now this is what i think the list will be based on the dumbass standards they go by every year.
    Below is a list i made Based on Musical Quality in no particular Order

    1.Kanye
    2.Jay-z
    3.Kendrick Lamar
    4.J.cole
    5.Wale
    6.Big Sean
    7.Rick Ross
    8.Wiz Khalifa(dissapointed about Rolling papers though)
    9.Tyler the Creator(not a huge fan but you cant fake hes doing his thing)
    10.2Chainz,Also been doing his thing

  30. Yooo says:

    oh look, i cant view it outside the US..

    MTV stayin in the 90’s

  31. Nahh says:

    Why would Tyler the creator be on here? No ones checking for him. All he had was the feature on games album. Big Sean shouldn’t be up here. Wale should be tho

  32. Yooo says:

    p.s. cornball drake for the obvious win this yr

  33. NasDaq says:

    Drake
    HOV
    Mr.west
    Ross
    Meek
    Wale
    Lil jeggings
    Cole
    Wiz
    Fab

  34. Jaymalls says:

    You can argue that Big Sean had a bigger year that J. Cole, Wale, Meek Mill, Mac Miller, etc. He had hit after hit… I.e “My Last” “Marin Gaye & Chardonnay” “A$$ (Remix)” the only thing is that his overal album sales were low… But dude did have his own little tour and is currently touring with Trey… #justsayin

    1. Kanye West
    2. Jay-Z
    3. Rick Ross (he is not at 1 because his first to singles tanked)
    4. Drake (Could be higher, but he a singing nigga and really an emcee)
    5. Lil Wayne (even though his last album sucked orangatang tits, it was certified 2x platinum)
    6. Nicki Minaj (Should be higher than Wayne, but her last to singles sucked and her fan base is starting to turn on her for the next gimmick)
    7. Eminem (Dropped a forgettable EP with Royce that will not be listened to again pass this summer)
    8. Young Jeezy (Even though TM103 nas zero replay value, I’m glad he got a chance to release it)
    9.
    10.

    Toss up between Wiz Khalifa, Wale, J. Cole, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Mac Miller, French Montana, etc.

  35. The Is Real! says:

    Nas!
    Nasir Jones!
    Esco!
    Nasty Nas!
    God’s Son!
    Nasir Olu Dara Jones!
    The Goat
    Most Hated on Emcee in Hop Hop!

  36. DJ 1Mic says:

    jaymills i just dunno if mtv is gonna put an up and comer on the list, they’ve really stayed away from them in the past… i think common & ti end up getting that 9 or 10 spot, and j cole/meek get hosed

  37. mac DIESEL says:

    U CAN’T PUT MTV AND MC IN THE SAME SENTENCE!!!! THIS IS MY THE SAMEFUCKIN’ NETWORK THAT BANNED KANYE’S “MONSTER” BUT PLAY MARILYN MANSON VIDEOS!!!! DON’T INVEST YA TIME ON MTV!!!! THEY DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIP-HOP CULTURE OR BLACK MUSIC PERIOD!!!!

  54. Collar Cali says:

    Just know that The Throne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne & Rick Ross will make up the top 5-6…. I don’t like Nicki’s newer music, but she is going to probably be in the top 3 based off the strength of what’s she did last year… I mean the chick collab with every one… on her 5th top 10 hot 100 on billboard, doing half-time at the Superbowl with MADONNA & probably will walk away with 1 or more Grammys this year off her FIRST album. Whose doing that? She toured with both Wayne AND Britney Spears. I feel like she’s getting watered down at this moment but she had one of the overall biggest singles of 2011 with “Superbass”. Drake came in at the last quarter with a quality smash album & a few hot guest appearances… while dropping a few HOT singles that is ridding threw the year & may be #1 by next week. Wayne sales was the ONLY good thing about his year & The Throne …well they had the #1 hot track in hip hop 2011 with “N*ggas In Paris” sold out legendary tour that even the haters paid MAJOR $$$ to be at & dropped a solid platinum album to say the least.

    But Rick Ross….

    He came and made HIS mark as a mogul & as an artist. Not only did he KILL, but his whole team KILLED! Meek Mill kills everything he touches & gave us one of 2011’s hottest hip hop tracks “I’m A Boss” all while Wale (whose currently sitting at #1 on Billboard for the 3rd straight week) went from no Billboard charters & selling 25,000 in a week, to selling a little over 200,000 in a week with several guest appearances and a handful of charting appearances on Billboard (including 2 top 10’s RIGHT NOW! off his own album). MMG is an INFANT company & stood tall in the mist of all these other companies..YMCMB included. they haven’t pushed close to what YMCMB has pushed …YET…but they are on 1 hell of a start & Ross should get top pick off of this alone.

  57. ZePequeno says:

    -Kanye got a #3 in 2010 because that list was on October and they based it on the G.O.O.D. Friday’s, his Power and Runaway videos, and a Grammy nod. They’re gonna be evaluating Kanye on MBDTF and WTT. If he isn’t #1, the whole list is invalid.

    -Tyler really has created a movement. He had the dopest video of the year and had amazing verses on Pusha’s and Game’s shit. He WILL be creeping up on the bottom 5.

    -I really wanted Cole to be #1 on this list this year, but his shit was subpar. Another bottom 5.

    -Canada Dry had a dope album, and 2 monster hits with I’m On One and Stay Schemin’, but nothing is bigger than WTT. It’s Ye, Jay, Ross and Aubrey for top 4.

    -Wayne will only get a spot for that platinum shit, his line about Jay and being on I’m On One and Look At Me Now (Yes, he had a verse after Busta).

    -Fuck sales, that Eminem shit they pulled where they left him off was completely justified. He had 0 buzz, just like Wayne now.
