Wale: #10 Hottest MC In The Game

[vodpod id=Video.16081610&w=540&h=350&fv=]

MTV kicks off their Hottest MCs In The Game list today. And beating out J.Cole for the number 10 spot is Wale. Wait, they said Cole ain’t hot? You believe that shit?!

The Washington D.C. rapper reinvented himself in 2011, claiming a new space in the hip-hop stratosphere after a sound, but commercially disappointing, debut two years earlier. Wale’s tireless work ethic, along with a deal from Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group, were the keys to his success and his #10 slot on MTV News’ Hottest MCs in the Game VII list.

  11. Steve says:

    Still not hotter than Cole. Wale’s album is not even gold. Cole got a gold album, platinum single, and the Grammy nod. Not to mention better album reviews.

  12. RyanSean says:

    WTF beat out J. Cole its a frigid world

  13. Highlight says:

    You talkin bout a MC flowing over beats by Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Swizz Beatz, etc, etc on one cohesive, well put together mixtape….if you checking 4 lyrics and original flows n concepts, I GOT YOU!! Download my FREE mixtape Scattered Abroad at http://www.hardheadglobal.com!!

  14. Man says:

    J cole has female fans also.who do you think workout was aimed for? How about in the morning?if you dont like this decision than make your own hottest mc list and quit wining.

  15. 202Xdps says:

    @ZoomzoomDad… go tell your mommie thats MTV is breaking your heart and hurting your feelings.. tell her they left our your big brother J. Cole. Go now pussy

  16. Finally says:

    J Cole a cool dude, i have a feeling he is getting black balled by his own Jay Z. Jay doesnt really feel that dude, it might a way to get him off contract. Hip hop is full of shit, you never know who is who.

  17. Word says:

    Wale my nigga and deserves to be on this list but, over Cole? And Cole not on the list? These niggas are RETARDED. This whole list is just one big hoax. Artist buying spots on this list for sure. I really dont get how you leave dude off the list.

  20. B says:

    I don’t parlay with a crew nigga, I don’t Wale or them new niggas…

  21. Anon DCPL says:

    These lists are dumb. Who even considers these as a legit? MTV is just another TMZ.

  22. COLD DEATH says:

    ^YOUR MOTHER’S ANOTHER TMZ!

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  23. 1for1 says:

    Man its HOTTEST MC list. Wale in my opinion had a hotter year than J Cole because he had waaaaay more charting singles in regular radio rotation ( That way, Flower bomb, Bait etc) He signed a big deal in 2011 and dropped 2 albums Self Made and Ambition a mixtape 11.1.11 and killed it on Ashes to Ashes mixtape too along with being on a winning cohesive group MMG… Its more than obvious Wale had a great year. If you’re on twitter you would even notice he had kids going wild over Ambition tatting all over them and had shawtys tatting Flower Bomb. Wale definitely carved out his own lane in 2011.. I say Cole should probably be on this list too but I still say Wale had a better all around year just not off 1 albums record sales like cole.

  24. HOVA says:

    They should have posted the confused Bill Cosby pic back up. Wale 10th hottest MC in the game? LMFAO!!!

  25. BrentGin says:

    Even tho i figured he in the bottom of tha list Im glad Wale made tha list his album Ambition is bangin

  26. COLD DEATH is a bitch ass old nigga!

    Nas had one hot album in 17years hahahahha

    Nas career 1994-2000 lol

  27. STINKMEANER says:

    yup, this list just demonstrates there are millions of people listening to hip hop with no fucking taste.

  28. Joeycrack says:

    J Cole isn’t on the list drake isn’t gonna be number one…so with that said this list is shit and I’m not even gonna pay attention to it…I guess the people buying singles and buying albums doesn’t mean hottest..

  29. LMFAO says:

    this is exactly why all them niggaz sittin at that table are a fuckin joke. This WACK fuck has one radio single and he makes the 10th spot????!! I bet 2chainz is gonna make top 3 too ! They know nothing about hip-hop …

  30. CK says:

    LMAO! Cole genrated a huge buzz, technically only hova can fuck with him, he destroyed every mc in his featurings, and produced his own beats, with a platinum single. WHAT DO YOU WAT MORE????? I PROMISE TE GUY IS NOT ON TE LIST JUST BECAUSE HE’S HUMBLE. GTFO MTV AND YOUR IGNORANT TEENAGERS.

  34. Kunta Kente says:

    This nigga is too dark to be a rapper. You have to be white or light skin to make it in today’s market.

  35. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    J. Cole should be at least top 5. Meek Mill better than Wale. Wale luke warm, he tries too hard.

  36. Micah says:

    man wale had a great run this year but if cole not on the list then wale shouldnt be on it either, and if they goin off those things what ross had 1 compilation this year and a couple features, he shouldnt be no higher than 5 behind jay ye drake wayne THEN ross then Jeezy big sean wiz and j cole

  37. TiMz says:

  41. PAP says:

    Wale n J Cole BOTH deserve to be on that list!!! WTF is wrong with mtv?!?! smh

  42. Dell says:

    Nigga said J Cole got a industry push? Wale piggy backed on Rick Ross’s and Meek Millz’s buzz and thats more push then Jay who lets Cole do his own thing? Bullshit

    list is BS btw

  48. Collar Cali says:

    Beat out Cole?
    They both should be on the list. Coke should place a LIL higher but still… Both should be on, but I still can’t hate. MMG did in 2011 what I predicted way back in 2010…
    That’s alright, they’re gonna get enough of snubbing Cole.

  49. Ben_Dover says:

    MMG wasnt nominated for anything Grammy related? But i thought they are the hottest label right now…….

    #RapRadarLiedToMe

  50. polofrmpg says:

    @Dell you sound dumb as shit, wale was signed before meek and had a bigger buzz so what are you talking about ? wale never piggy backed on anybody..he was always on his own..even when he was with interscope you dumb fuck

  51. polofrmpg says:

    anybody saying wale doesnt deserve this is dumb as hell…he had a wayyyyyyyyyyyy hotter year than cole. wale put out 2 albums and one mixtape…every mixtape he comes out with is always hottest of the summer… lotus flower bomb still number one to this day…and lyrically wale is killing cole

  52. Jaymalls says:

  54. Swiss on 107th says:

    -SPOILER FOR TOP 5-
    1- Lil Wayne
    2- Drake
    3- Kanye West
    4- Jay Z
    5- Young Jeezy

  61. umad bro? says:

    BAHAHAHA T.I AIN’T MAKE THE LIST TOLD YOU JEEZY IS NOW THE KING OF ATLANTA!

  62. le says:

    people sleep on wale ..j. cole cant touch him he deserves to be there

  63. dmv1up says:

    wale deserves it. he came back from a record label that was a flop came bck n sold units. and the only reason why he was wit beyonce on tht aong is cuz rocnation had a huge budget cuz cole produced most of his songs so really u dont hve to pay for producers. yes roc nation is jayz n their married but its a business move more money back into the household. wale had no hands ft, that way, lfb, n he would habe made the grammys if he made the cut off date

  64. Black Shady says:

    COLE >>>>>>>>>>>

  65. Chris says:

    I dont get it, first J. Cole wasnt even on the finalists list and now he just misses out the top 10…soooo he was a finalist?

    Anyways, he should be in the top 10, his album turned out to be a decent hit. I can certainly say he’s hotter than Wale.

  66. JIgga's evil cuzzo says:

    anyone who is mad that wale made the list over j. cole need to be mad at Jay-z for acting like j cole doesnt exist. he would be hotter if it actually seemed like he was on the roc . jay-z barley acknowledges his existance and thats why he aint hot. and if we are looking at sales then B.O.B needs to be over bothe cole and wale, but its obviously not about that.

    And for the record wale is about 100k from gold and he is still on the charts so its not like he sold that much less. and the j. cole album been out longer so thats more time to chart sales.

  67. phraynkhp says:

    wale goes hard def deserves this… cole deserve a spot 2 though… cole, wale, kendrick, wiz, big sean, curren$y, OF, ASAP, dom kennedy, casey veggies, asher roth…

  68. CoolC says:

    J cole album just went Gold while Wale shit still copper but he not hotter then him WTF

  69. phraynkhp says:

    the new ppl the only ones making sense TI ahahahaha u r obviously joking go to a highshool n ask whos hot they gonna say cole, wale period. (and of course their gonna say ross, drake, wayne and nikki),

  70. Based says:

    Based God anyone? lol

  71. HK says:

    the MMG affiliation did for Wale. He IS the hottest MC RIGHT NOW out of the three of them

  72. hip hop is dead says:

    this list is already garbage if j.cole’s now where on the list

  73. ultrakid says:

    @BYN you got the right names on that list but WRONG order. I would put Drake above lil wayne, and Jay-Z above Kanye, unless you going by records sales ( WAYNE ) or grammy nominations (KANYE) -also, even though jeezy hot right now I would switch him for either Big Sean or Rick ross
    ……….buzz

  74. Abe says:

    With J Cole and T.I. out and Wale accounted for, I’m assuming there list is comprised of these 10 rappers… Anybody think of anyone I missed? (disregard the order as much as the names… not confident about Wiz or Jeezy, but hell, who knows with this group of judges)

    1. Jay-Z
    2. Lil Wayne
    3. Kanye
    4. Drake
    5. Ross
    6. Nicki Minaj
    7. Meek Mill
    8. Wiz Kahlifa
    9. Young Jeezy
    10. Wale

  75. steems says:

    Wale, that dude could spit…Cole is cool but not that cool………Steems

  76. colewalemeekkendrick says:

    anyone who says wale doesn’t deserve to be on the list doesnt know music with that being said wale deserved like 8 and cole should be like 9 tip didn,t do enuff due to jail time #truth

  77. colewalemeekkendrick says:

    didn’t*

  78. biggiesmalls says:

    j.cole is as hot as Nelly. Hes “platinum single” sucks donkey balls.

  79. congrats says:

    wale had a good year.

    yall forget how interscope left this nigga for dead after he failed to do projected numbers?

  80. BrownHornet704 says:

    the game is bought and paid for, any good new MC (as Cole and Lupe said) is told to dumb it down and play to the generic female b/c that’s who’s paying your bills. if you telling me chart numbers and sales makes you a good MC or Lyricist then somebody forgot to crown Vanilla Ice and Hammer.

    Call ’em entertainers, call ’em vocalist, hell I’ll even give you the title of rapper but outta respect for dudes past and present that can actually write shit that won’t fit on a napkin, that can “M”ove the “C”rowd w/o superior production or even a beat, that make you press rewind to get the meaning of carefully arranged complex metaphors and do more than rhyme Nigga with Nigga, the title of MC is for true spitters.

    Every now and then I check in on commercial HipHop but fuck it….back to Pandora

  81. Jaye says:

    already out of touch…

  82. uuuhhhh says:

    MTV IS TRASH….SWAY IM DISAPPOINTED DAWG

  83. Jcudderlife says:

    I feel wale should’ve been higher on the list. I guess a number one record don’t mean anything these days.

  84. SRockstar says:

    HEll yeh J.cole aint got no Flow .. COngrat Wale .

    # 1 album, Grammy Nomination, classic mixtape, sold the 4th most of any artist this year, how is J Cole not on the list? Wale should be higher on the list to because I can say the same about him really good album, great mixtape, album sold really well, did his thing on the MMG album, but MTV is trash to me, all those people on there is what is wrong with hip hop…
