With his successful collaboration effort with Kanye, countless business ventures and sold-out concerts, one half of the Throne takes the numero six spot on MTV‘s Hottest MCs. YN demands a recount.
“If you talk about the Throne, yeah, top five, no question. But Jay himself? From January to August, what was going on?” asked Rahman Dukes, MTV News’ director of hip-hop news, pointing out Jigga’s inactivity apart from WTT. “Kanye was moving.”
Previously: #10 Wale l #9 Wiz Khalifa l #8 Big Sean l #7 Meek Mill

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
We might as well call it a day, we all knw Kanye is gonna be at number 1.

no if they put ross before jay z its lights out
This list is shit. I agree Jay was low the first half of the year…… SO HE COULD DESTROY THE SECOND HALF. I’d rather have a HUGE album, WORLD TOUR, Grammy nods off of 6 months of buzz than a mediocre album ( Wiz, Wale, Big Sean) and spread it out over the year. Jay 6 months > The Lists whole year. …… And if Cole ain’t in the top 5 this ” Brain Trust ” is a ” Brain Fuck “
so jay-z is only 1 spot ahead of Meek?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I officially cant fuck with this list anymore
wow top five doa well i guess easier said then done
1. Ross
2. Drake
3. Kanye
4. Nicki
5. Lil Wayne
like i said yesterday. no jeezy smh @ mtv
THIS LIST CAN OFFICIALLY GO FUCK ITSELF.
only one question if em was 1 last year and not going to make the list this year does that mean big sean and wale are better then him?….im confused
lmao@If they put William, Little Aubrey, Nicki, Mrs. Wayne Williams(Birdman’s wife). Ahead of Jay-Z. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
lil b should be on this list I’m serious I can even defend that statement
this list is ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass….
lmfao
This list ain’t shit…..1st J. Cole doesn’t even make the list, he’s better than sean, wale, wiz and meek and then Jay at 6….These niggas all need to be fired. He’s easily top 3 period.
This is pure bullshit!!!!! How he not in the top 5?? Weezy DID not have a better year than Hov. Watch Drake, Weezy & Nicki make the top 3…smfh
HOVA
Do they release a new mc everyday?!?!
Even not on my Stan shit they bugging with this. To me personally the list goes
1) Drake – Album sales, features, tour, impact
2) Kanye – 2 Albums, movie accompanying solo album, tour, impact
3) Jay-Z – Album, tour, impact <== His impact is still greater than anyone else on this list – The craziness surrounding his babies birth has more impact than some of the rest of this list alone
4) Ross – Mogul moves, compilation album, mixtapes, impact, features
5) Wayne – Sales (although I don't really believe them), Album was underwhelming a bunch of rehash beats and weak lyrics, Mogul Moves, Impact <== Carter 1-3 made me a believer I now don't know what to think since he's sober.
6) Nicki – Sales, Impact <== If you can get some of the other hottest acts in other genres doing youtube's singing your records you have impact (i.e. Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift doing Super Bass)
7) Wale – #NoDaysOff & #Ambition literally (2 mixtapes, solid album, compilation album, freestyles, mini mogul moves with BOA), ubiquitous singles all year – it was a straight hustle game
8) Cole – More albums sold than Wale, Sean or Khalifa although they had bigger singles and more singles. Still under the radar in comparison to those 3 but their fans didn't go to the store and cop 2-5 copies apiece in a recession to assure he won. Grind Game + Friday Night Lights and winning with Underdog status
9) Sean – Big singles, didn't quite pan out in album sales but his impact with the singles and features is undeniable and the album was solid
10) Wiz – Sales wise I believe he's behind the 3 I put on the list above him but he's relevant although I think it's more for Amber at this point than any music he's dropping, mini mogul moves with Juicy J signing, movie/movie soundtrack, album is not my favorite and he admits it wasn't his normal effort but it had an impact if for nothing else Black and Yellow
I can't give you a spot if you didn't drop an album so Meek Mill and 2Chainz can't get a spot in my opinion but they are picking up crazy momentum for next year if they can drop something solid in 2012.
No jeezy Wht the fuck is this list kill all of these niggas this has to be the worst list i ever seen in my fuckin life jayz number 6 wtf
If Hov was number 5,4,3,2 or 1 y’all would still complain… Just make ur own list and be happy
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW…. Really MTV???????
InB4TheNext100Comments
I dont get it J.COLE sucks!!! Hasnt had one dope record, has no buzz, maybe his mixtapes were dope before he got signed?? Why do you all lick his ass!! Jeezy and j.Cole fuckin blow and put out lame albums. Jay is my fav rapper alive but he doesnt deserve to even be on this list WTT is an absolutely terrible album. The Throne put out a bunch of club type electro pop songs following the current trend of music, they did it to stay relevant!!!! MBDTF was years ago almost. I dont care what anyone says, wheather hes a complete liar… ROSS DESERVES #1.
dumb list… ppl dont get caught up into this bullshit….
i dont kno wut order but tha top 5 gonna be: ro$$,wayne,drake,nicki,and kanye or maybe jeezy might slip in but i doubt it…
Hov doesn’t have to be ‘moving’ to be hot. He’s playing chess from the throne.
mtv is trolling
Hold oN…. they really gonna put Nicki ahead of Jay-Z?????
Kanye should be #1 then. He’s the only person with 2 Grammy nominated albums AND he’s been progressive. Ross, Nicki, Drake, Wayne. The rest of the top 5 in order.
JAY Z number 6? Ok this is pretty real, I respect this list.
i think we should all write MTV and tell them to stop doing the list, cuz its obvious that nobody wants it, if jay z is number 6 im scared to see who’s number 1
JAY Z being the greatest MC all-time isn’t even debatable anymore. He’s lasted through generations and today is still a top 10 MC. HOVA is #1 best MC all-time by far, who ever is at #2, there is a huge gap.
TBH I wish we could exclude Nicki from the Hip Hop category entirely, she was big off sub-par pop stuff. Superbass was my song, but that was her only decent song last year. She hasn’t been lyrically hot since Monster, Hello Good Morning remix.
Wow, I’m very surpised at this one. I’m also guessing this means jeezy didn’t make the list which is some bullshit. The fact TM 103 dropped alone should have gotten him on this list. As far as music he put in more work than ross last year. I mean did ross even drop a mixtape last year? And do I even need to mention sales? And no i’m not a jeezy stan/ ross hater, just callin it like i see it. The ATL got snubbed, as always. smh
Now I know this is straight bs. How are dudes who haven’t even had HALF the career Jay has had, or even half the skill as an MC gonna be higher on the list then him? MTV, face it, hip hop left you guys when you cancelled yo MTV raps. The rest of this list will be all wack young money artists. BS.
wow! number 6… MTV U LOST!
i bet they move jay higher during 1-5. Cause they gonna come back to it and say “WTF”
BS
Jay-Z at number 6…?????? WTF is this!!! Hov is the greatest rapper alive. He has been in this game for over 15 years and continues to remain relevant. Jay should be number 1 and Rick Ro$$ number 2..- Rich Forever is a dope mixtape and GFID should be one of the best albums of 2012!
So far……except for Jay-Z…I dont see how Cole didnt make the list.
this is pure garbage. fuck mtv
Um jay z knew he had a baby on the way . This list is fukin just opinions eminem is the goat. Highest selling artist of the decade and he wasnt even rapping for 4 years of that decade. I went to ems concert in Sydney and lil Wayne was his opener. That shows eminens status. No homo just stating facts. Fuk rick Ross fake fat nigga fuk Mmg
Ahaaaa why you mad? Elliott wilson
Yeah- Like everyone else said (or should of said), Jay-Z became a dad. He’s arguably one of the greatest on the mic so lets not worry about him being number 6. I seriously doubt he gives a shit.
Also, I really wonder if lyrical ability counts as being hot now.
Hot means two million shit freestyles over one mixtape or album you’ll still be listening to in five years.
I doubt KRIT and Danny Brown will be on this.
Ahh why am I even commenting on this bullshit.
Nicki should not be on there…b/c she is too new
1. Jay Z
2.Eminem
3.Ross
4. Royce Da 5 9
5 Drake
^
bahhahahaahaa ROYCE
Outside of WTT. Jay-z hasnt done shit
How the hell can Lil wayne be higher than jay? with his crap album and horrible features. FOH.
Ok help me if I’m wrong cuz this is getting confusing as fuck. I thought this was supposed to be the top 10 Hottest MC’s In The Game. They pick the 10 rappers from a perticular year in this case 2011. So they should be judging only of what an artist did in 2011 no other year right? If this is true how the fuck is Jay-Z at #6? WTT was the most talk about album the year, I’m glad they didn’t put The Throne at 1 spot but Hov should be top 5. J. COLE BELONGS ON THE FUCKING LIST. MTV WTF…
@Suck it.. Lil wayne had a bigger year than Hov by far. You can hide behind Kanye but we will find you.
