With solid guest appearances and his album God Forgives, I Don’t under his belt, it was only right that the hardest working man takes the number three spot. Only two left.
“When you talk about some of these cats, it’s a quantity-versus-quality thing, and that’s not the case with Ross — he has both,” said MTV‘s VP of Music & Talent Programming Strategy, Yomi Desalu. “Ross is out there putting in work.” Not only did Rozay drop his gold-selling, #1 Billboard album God Forgives, I Don’t, he also rallied his Maybach Music troops to release the compilation Self Made, Vol. 2. Of course, who can forget that he gave out a pair of mixtapes for free: Rich Forever, at the top of 2012, and the jacking-for-beats-style tape The Black Bar Mitzvah, in October. Combine all of that with a string of features on hit records like Usher’s “Lemme See” and French Montana’s “Pop That” and it becomes increasingly difficult to deny the MMG mastermind.





Getting arrested three times in one day? That's the shit we don't like. Getting a feature placement on Kanye West's new album is a great look—Being behind bars isn't. Haven't we seen this movie before? This Chiraq MC and trouble are synomnous. Drive slow, young homie.
The whole 2 Chainz robbery fiasco. The culprits. Tit for initially denying it and you fuck boys on the Internet who made him feel like he should. Ain't no shame in defending yourself by fists or by feet. It ain't safe in these streets.
#2: 2 Chainz
#1: Kendrick Lamar.
THOSE GOONS! what a hilariously wack list haha.. glad they included Nas tho
These niggas can’t hold me back…….but he in NY with a curfew smh
I came on this blog to hear a new guest verse from Method Man, and see a DMX trailer, and this is at the top of the page, seriously….whoever is responsible for this list and put ross on it and at #3, just do the culture a favor and go kill yourself, you’re just dumbing down the gene pool at this point.
My Ass
So T.I. Doesn’t make the list. When tip got out of jail he hopped on two tracks a blew those artists up. (Magic by Future and Spend it by 2 chainz) look at those artist now. Where’s the love?
watch 2 chainz be #1 tho
Why do I get the feeling def jam sent MTV a check for this list.
haha what a fucking joke!
no wonder ye is mad!
this fat fuck gets 3?
thought last year was his last time on the list!
kanye put in wayyyy more work for his music this year compared to this guy.
Word i bet they put 2 chainz number 1…sad but predictable lol…
DEF JAM OWNED 2012
This list is all wrong.
There’s either about to be angry
Wayne fans
2 chains fans
Or
kdot fans
1&2 has to be Kendrick and Drake

Ya niggas act like Sosa ain’t put in that work this year.
Cheif Keef #2
Titty Boi #1
Bang! Bang!
YOUR LIST IS PURE BULLSHIT!!!!!! LOL
can’t knock it, although sometimes i wonder if rick ross is hot or if he’s just flooding the game with so much shit (songs, visuals, vlogs, etc) that it just seems like he’s hot. his level of visibility and the numbers he does never seem to match up, unless you’re talking about mixtapes
Please tell me lil wayne will not end up 2nd…his verses are hella weak…2 chainz deserves 2nd more so than wayne…this list is not very accurate…either way k dot is the top mc
Would have preferred Nas at number 3,interesting list so far tho
lmfaooooooooooo

ROSS IS A SITUATION OF HOW OVER SATURATION OF MUSIC CAN WORK AND MAKE U SEEM LIKE YOUR BIGGER THAN YOU REALLY ARE ( NO PUN ) ( NOT BIG PUN INTENDED EITHER )
GFID STILL AINT SELL 500K YET…BUT IT JUST SHIPPED 500K
KANYE IS HOTTER THAN ROSS, WAYNE HOTTER THAN ROSS

ROSS IS WACK… FACT.
Can someone explain to me how Jeezy, T.I orJ.Cole dont even get mentioned and all three of their albums was better than Ross and just about everyone else in this top ten list.

Fat joe is the illest fuck Dat
Can’t believe Lil wayne wont make this list!!!!!!!!!!!
