  6. Black Shady says:

    Kanye is crazy for that Wayne statement. Jay and Em ..best of all time like he said I agree. BUT…Wayne on that list? FUCK.OUT.TA.HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMH

  7. TK says:

    neither do we care about no nickelodeon ye! fuck dat shit.. it bothers me that he said wayne nr 1 rapper.. he’s just being humble n shit.. you know damn well kanye belongs in the top 2 jay first kanye second or the other way.. I know everybody agree’s and if you don’t suck lil B’s dick.. don’t judge some of ya’ll muhfuckaz be camping outside to get the new yeezy.. you damn we’ll what I’m talking about!

  8. 2 cents says:

    Wayne is the most versatile/diverse rapper/artist of ALL TIME.
    “Man I got so many styles, I am a group” Check his catalogue. There’s Go DJ, then there’s hustla musik, a milli, lollipop, how to love…amongst a shitload of other songs. No other rapper can switch it up like he does and that’s a fact.

  9. boojoo says:

    everyone know wayne is a monster thats why your favorite rapper (JAY-Z) wanted to sign

  10. boojoo says:

    sign him**

  11. LikeJordan45 says:

    Ye used to make CLASSICS and think Hov was the GOAT.

    Now he gives us an album even he’s disappointed in and thinks Wayne is the greatest.

    I get it now.

  12. HOVA says:

    You can tell Ye is about to drop some shit soon. He’s been all over the tube lately and when’s the last time he did an interview?

  13. Real Talk says:

    seriously, since when does MTV know about rap music and they can say who’s the hottest rapper ? Rap Music can only been judged by Rap knowers

  14. Hannibal Lecture says:

    Kanye wont say that a Pusha T is the best rapper and thats his artist. All these sensitive ass Clipse fans.

  15. R says:

    Kanye is right again and he gave bitch ass Sway his first TV lmfao

  16. corey says:

    say ‘ye say ‘ye

    KIM K MAKES YOU LOOK CRAY CRAY EVERYDAY DAY

  17. Superlyricalryhmespitter says:

    Obvious attempt to get more buzz. This rap game is so full of shit I almost want to stop supporting it.

  18. The Other P says:

    Fuck Wayne & his ignorant ass Emmett Till line in the “Karate Chop” remix. Rappers need to call that coon out for that instead of praising him.

  19. boojoo says:

    kanye is a big fan of wayne

    he recycled one of waynes lines KICKING BITCHES OUT THE CONDO LIKE PAM

    just like jayz recycles biggies lines all the time

  20. boojoo says:

    kanye has an emitt till line too @ the other p

  21. DMVinyourchick says:

    I just called to say I gave sway his 1st tv? What’s wrong with this nigga

  22. Gretsky says:

    Keep losing Kanye.

  23. damone says:

    Anybody that thinks Wayne is great has to be on crack!

  24. Gretsky says:

    I just called to say I gave sway his 1st tv? What’s wrong with this nigga
    ^^^^^^
    Lol.
    That nigga tripping.
    Kardashian puss will do that to u tho…..

  25. Real Talk says:

    Kanye is really overhyped to the fullest.

  26. mac DIESEL says:

    PETTY LIL KANYE BUGGIN’ OUT OVER AN MTV LIST??? THIS NIGGA SAID WAYNE IS THE BEST RAPPER??? I DON’T KNOW IF I SHOULD LAUGH OR SLAP THE SHIT OUTTA OF ‘EM!!!

    ……….HA!!!! YE’S WORLD!!!! SMH!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  27. zooey says:

    Wayne stop being in the same category as Jay & Em a few years ago, Carter 3 was his last ounce of greatness, Hes an artificial version of himself now…

  28. mac DIESEL says:

    I just called to say I gave sway his 1st tv

    ^

    ……….*DEAD*!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  29. realfan says:

    Wayne is relevant and manages to go platinum every album he puts out, and can put out whatever the fuck he wants and still kill it. He’s been in the game since he was 12, I dont think anyone on here can name someone who has that longevity… stop hatin on his newer shit and realize he was referring to wayne as a whole…Ye is 100% correct MTV is retarded.

  30. Realshyt says:

    Wayne doesn’t even write and has better bars than most

  31. Gretsky says:

    I didn’t really wanna like even call to talk about the number seven list, I just wanna tell everybody I gave Sway his first TV. And he need to remember that.
    ^^^^^^^
    *Dives into Volcano*

  32. Marko-V says:

    This interview will live forever due to the line “I gave Sway his first T.V.!” Lol
    From now on I will say that to anyone I feel underappreciates me.

    @remarkoble1

  33. Hello walking comas
    or as you like to be known
    Ye Stans

    BREAKING NEWS:
    YE USED HIS PHONE
    Film at 11

    Remember in “Goodfellas” when Henry Hill’s girl/future wife took his hands, looked at them, felt how soft they were and said “THEY DON’T FEEL LIKE YOU’RE IN CONSTRUCTION “?
    Henry Hill paused and said ” Ah, I’m a union delegate”

    Well, we listen to Kanye rant like a man of the people. Someone who shares our suffering of the corporate logos appearing everywhere (even painted on the back of Boxers).
    His anger, bitterness seeps through those grainy youtube videos as he addresses “brands” & “corporate” etc…………………………………..
    but then Kanye dropped his demon seed in a female who created a BRAND off a sex tape.

    We get what Kanye claims to be , what hip hop is; of the street
    Yet he doesn’t live up to it unless it’s to remind everyone in a manner that would make Liberace blush of his importance.
    Kanye sticks his head out of his shell to remind of us how great his life is or how much we all fucked it up by not shaping the world in whatever warped way he thinks it should be

    Hip hop has an edge that we want in our music and in our artists. The credibility of this “edge” by each artist is how/why certain artists will always carry a question mark on them like the Scarlet letter if their story is suspect.
    Rick Ross for example

    For Kanye, 13 years removed from “making beats in Chicago” to call up a radio station to let the world know that he doesn’t like his placement (or Big Sean, tho no mention of Pusha T) on MTV’s “hottest MC” list and to share how he “GAVE SWAY A TV”
    HAS THE “EDGE” OF A DEFLATED PARTY BALLOON

    Hey, the Ye Stans have their capes on to SAVE A HOish-Rapper
    Yeezy taught them

    @p0is0nedkoola on twitter
    Lester Bangs of hip hop
    Hey Hip hop, Kanye left your ass for a white girlllllllllll

  34. Donn says:

    #DEAD

    I JUST CALLED TO TELL SWAY I GAVE HIM HIS FIRST TV AND HE AIN’T EVEN REMEMBER THAT (Hangs Up)

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  35. JustMyOpinion says:

    If I was Yeezy I wouldn’t be mad. The gatekeepers of this rap ish just trying to keep the lights on. They CAN’T embrace the “real” music. Think Not? RapRadar’s top guy think the hottest MC is a guy that uses the AUTO-TUNE device to assist him on records.

    So, there’s no need to TRY anymore.

  36. sealey says:

    HAAAAAAAA

  37. NYCown says:

    Over the last 10 years there hasnt been a rapper greater than T.I…. Wanye is creative but has fictional raps… Kanye is great but emotions control him… New rappers haven’t been tested by time Drake, Big Sean, ASAP, etc

  38. Polo says:

    And Kim K gave him his first STD this nigga ye is out.

  39. Black Chalk says:

    LEGEND.

    need beats?

    ^the first beat on there is EXACTLY what YOU are looking for
    @dndamien

  40. ... says:

    Wow i cant beleive kanye is with me on this one..i do beleive wayne is top 3 all time atleased
    Em jay an wayne

  41. Evil says:

    Jay z EM and Nas are the best MCs in the game.FACT.
    Wayne is a lame straight up,he fell off after Carter 3.
    Kanye is just an attention seeking little whore.

  42. D Twice says:

    Kanye calling Wayne the best is probably the most “humble” thing I’ve ever heard him say. He know dam well dude fell off and couldn’t make an album that matches Dark Fantasy to save his life. I would say dude was being sarcastic but I truly think he’s lost his motherfucking mind. If Pusha album don’t come out this year that nigga leaving good music and will start doing Clipse again.

  43. Joao says:

    Sway just got shitted on

  44. ... says:

    Lets not forget kanye understands that wayne doesnt get gis just due so he felt he had to say somethin..in totally with that ..nuggas hate on waynr not knowing all the greatness he did

  45. gbaby says:

    Diamonds remix verse is an underated verse…. gesh!

  46. JustMyOpinion says:

    “I just called up to tell everybody I gave Sway his first TV and he need to remember that.”

    ^ Kanye doesn’t care about what people THINK of music, he understand a lot (emphasis) of people don’t know what is quality music, not just rap, but an actual orchestra of music (think: Dark Fantasy). Think not? he said the only reason he called up was to talk about the tv. He’s clowning Hip-Hop’s gatekeeper.

  47. 50cent ‏@50cent Your a punk @ElliottWilson and you will always be a punk. says:

    I THINK KANYE IS JUST TROLLING THE MEDIA AND THE INDUSTRY LMFAO

    N IF HE IS…HES DOING A GREAT JOB

  48. big steve says:

    Ye knows his shit hes in the room when the greats are making their lyrics and spitting their flows so he know first hand how creative these people are none of you know what hes talking about cause your not there, i hope he continues to do press tho and calling out sway was hialrious

  49. loch121 says:

    Wayne does run rap hate it or love it.he’s a mega star and to many outside of hip hop he’s one of the few they know.

    My vote is kendrick though

  50. just wondering says:
