Sa prize!! King Kendrick Lamar takes the crown. Well deserved. Congrats.
“K-Dot earned the #1 spot in a unanimous decision, while 2 Chainz landed in the #2 slot. While both MCs made indelible marks in the last year, it was Kendrick’s artistry and commercial appeal that helped him earn the title. Lyrically, Lamar is an expert spitter who weaves complex rhyme patterns around soul-drenched beats, with as unique a style as rap has seen in years. And while verbal depth isn’t usually a marker for rap success, the Compton rapper moved major units when he dropped his debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city”
The hottest in the game himself closes out the debate with “Poetic Justice” below.

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.
Probably the only number that was right on the whole list

Kendrick Lamar is cool but y’all stans OVERRATE him so much….GKMC was cool but that album is overhyped to the max.

He had the best year and gkmc is the only classic of the decade with MBDTF

But even with all of the metrics, it’s Kendrick’s impact on the game that he’ll be most remembered for when the hip-hop community looks back on the year. Artistically, good kid was the album with which all albums were measured by in 2012. Not only did it resonate with fans, it was also a commercial success in an era where albums don’t thrive like they used to.
Rightfully so!
K.DOT ON THE FUKIN RISE … STEP UR GAME UP FAKKITS
CONGRATS TO THE NEW KING
he is the one who saved hip hop
he made me forget about tupac, Nas & Biggie
I’m 45 and he is probably one of the best rappers I have ever heard in my entire life

So many retards here.
perfect choice MTV, kendrick was the only one to deserve the top spot
