Rick Ross: #5 Hottest MC In The Game

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3562015&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dvid%253D442545%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A442545%2526startUri%3D%7BstartUri%7D]

The Officer couldn’t be stopped! So wait Hov, Em, Wayne, Kanye (in whatever order). Drake got dissed? Wow. If it was last April, he woulda won!

Why He’s Hot: How did Rick Ross make it to the Hottest MC List’s top five in back-to-back years? Because this top-tier word assassin released what seven of Roundtable members consider the preeminent hip-hop release of the year, Deeper Than Rap. Deeper ceaselessly and seamlessly did its job, entertaining throughout with Ross’ lithe lyrical delivery, which forms a mesmeric marriage with soulfully melodic tracks that play like the score to an Oscar-winning film.

    Lyrically Officer Ross is garbage.. His album was hot because of hooks and beats.. He doesnt have anything thought provoking or make you say “Ohh what he said was hot”.. Drake couldnt have got dissed because he’s still the most talked about MC besides Hov..

  2. john macabee says:

    mtv you lost credibility when you called dtr a classic … not that you had any to begin with but wtf leaving a nigga confused *no david brown*

  3. Copastetik says:

    Yeah I just heard the word Classic.. LMFAO.. & dude said hes a lyricist.. Come on man..

  4. llll says:

    whahahaahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!becuae of deeper than rap!!!lyrical he got no skills he does the same damn boring flow in every song!!!!and the beats were garbage because dj khaled was not in his best this year!!!and he wasn’t that popular this year!!!!i just got one q! to mtv, how u explain this list, it stands on what??i’m prayin to god to not put kanye on the list!!and i’m also praying to see eminem number 1

  5. Polobear718 says:

    @ YN, maybe Kanye is the one that gets dissed. Not Drake.

  6. donell0223 says:

    thats bullshit that fat ass 5-0 wanksta in the top five proves why mtv should stop doing this

  7. hotbox says:

    i find it funny that most of the rappers on this list are 30+. . .rae and jay z are 40

    i remember when chuck d was considered the old rapper because he was 30

  8. hotbox says:

    and deeper than rap is #2 of the year imo. . .rae has the #1 2009 album hands down

  9. B.Dot says:

    i love mtv, but dis list is on some bullsheeeet (c) Arab voice

  10. Dman says:

    oh lord the lord the list just gets worse whos next soulja girl HA!

  11. mike says:

    CLASSIC LIKE C3
    NOWADAYS
    DTR WAS DOPE
    PRODUCTIONS SUPA CLEAN
    RICK ROSS DID A GREAT JOB !

    NOT CLASSIC IN THE SENSE OF ILLMATIC, REASONABLE DOUBT, READY TO DIE OR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, ETC

  12. mike says:

    KANYE WILL BE PROBABLY NOT ON THE LIST
    OR MAYBE EMINEM

    BUT I CANT SEE JAY OR WEEZY DISSED

    SO YEAH MAYBE ITS DRAKE

    BUT STRANGE !!!!

    let we see that soon

  13. mike says:

    NOT MY LIST BUT
    PROBABLY ITS
    drake first
    Wayne 2
    Jayz 3
    Em 4
    Kanye…not but he is on the bp3, principal producer thus

  14. Brick says:

    As much as I feel Officer Ricky and Gucci SHOULD NOT be on this list and that 50 should have been hired, you gotta remember: this is MTV we’re talking about people. Let’s face it, MTV isn’t exactly known for playing music, they’re known for reality shows like The Hills or scripted dating shows. Now if it was BET (or even VH1 for that matter), a channel that actually plays music videos and aims towards the black community, doing the list, then it would be a different story. So as easy as it is to get heated over their decisions, just remember that MTV doesn’t have expertise in music, at least not any more. I’ll give you an example: when was the last time you saw a music video played on MTV?…I rest my case

  15. B-WIZZY says:

    FAKE ASS RICK ROSS = CB4 OF 2009!!

    GTFOH!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON SON!!
    GET THAT FAKE BS OUTTA HERE!

  16. AJB4 says:

    I think a group of bloggers and some old school MC’s should make their own list cuz this one is not credible

  17. mimi says:

    i was over this list ever since 50 came thru on number nine

    and no drake?? wow im surprised

    my PERSONAL (dont hate) list woulda been

    1. Em
    2. Banks
    3. 50
    4. Kid Cudi
    5. Jay-Z
    6. Slaughterhouse (all of em!)
    7. Fabolous
    8. Yayo (yeah ! what?)
    9. Drake
    10. Rae

    maybe its a lil disorganized but 1-5 is what it is!!

  18. Toya says:

    Man, yesterday I thought this list was messed up. Now I think it’s royally f***ed up. Thinking that Kanye might beat Jay-Z is quite possible now. But if Drake or Souja Boy comes out of nowhere and beats Eminem and everyone else, I’m through.

  19. teejay says:

    i would understand if drake beats eminem because its not who is the better rapper, its who is the hottest right now, and this year has been drakes. but rick ross beating 50? thats just ridiculous, every 50 mixtape was better than deeper than rap and officer ricky is just a clown. I dont know how he gets taken seriously, I couldn’t even before the 50 cent shit. 50 is way hotter right now than rick ross.

  20. Tysonz says:

    Why is Fabolous on this list again????? I think Guccci Mane shoudla been number 5 just cuz he owns the streets. Fabolous been wack for a while now, and Throw it in the bag doesnt earn him a spot….

  21. I got 4 albums this year that are better than Deeper than Rap…..Man on the Moon, The Estactic, The Blueprint 3, OB4CLII….MTV is fuckin tripping…..that shit is not fucking classic….what the fuck are they listening to these days….seriously!!! And for them to diss either Wayne, Kanye, or Eminem they are fucking foul….the fans are stupid too, bunch of teens listening to shit they don’t fuckin understand. Ross was hot in the spring……so you meaning to tell me right now that nigga is hotter than Fabolous, Rae, Gucci, Jeezy, or either Cudi or Wale (who didn’t make the fuckin list)? Get the fuck out of here…..bullshit never dies, and MTV just added life to that bitch….and for whoever the fuck Mimi is above me, to put Yayo in your fuckin top 10….shoot your big toe as if you played in Harlem Nights…Ya (here we go now!!) Yo??….can’t be serious….

  22. Hisho says:

    if Eminem is not number 1 , he should at least be Number 2 and the only person is ok to be above him is Jay Z,, no one else

  23. Dark Skinned Jermaine says:

    im’ done so heres whos left

    kanye
    hov
    wayne
    em
    drake

    someone got jerked royally

  24. bk maarten says:

    this list is a joke and stupid bandwagon hip hop fans that only get their view on what hot hip hop music is from what mtv and rest tell them. will run with this to justify their idiotic view. there is no way in hell Gucci or Ricky should be on this list.

  25. kingill89 says:

    come on how you going to have a list without Drake or Kid Cudi niggas talking number 1 albums kid cudi just had a recent top ten album and drake is sellin like 125 k off some shit that was FREE! I mean this nigga Drizzy is on like 4 joints on 106 and park at once he in the top 20 for 3 different songs Uptown is the song of the Motherfuccing year come on Successful MTV shouldnt even do this show after this year becuz top 5 is suppose to be between Jay-Z Wayne Drake Em and Kanye each has put alotta work in but me personally i dont think wayne should be there becuz of Prom Queen but if niggas like Gucci at 6 then yea he suppose 2 be there

    I mean come on man Gucci dont even have a disc out right now and Kid Cudi dont make the list this list would be total disrespect if em is after 3 and jay is after 2 then MTV should fire all these motherfuccas sitting at that table

    these motherfuccas going off of shit that was released last year no disrespect but aint nobody still bumping Deeper Than Rap or The Recession I mean its been a full Year since Jeezy Album Came out and its been about half of a year for Deeper Than Rap and to be honest Ludacris Album was better and sold more than Both Them Shits

    and everytime they put somebody on the list they like o he took over the streets man Niggas Like 50 is taken over the world overseas performing in front of thousands of foreign people and this nigga at number 9 becuz a nigga like Gucci got Street Cred Raekwon got old ass people coming to his autograph signings bringing the original purple tape and he at number 10 becuz Jeezy got the Streets on Locc what the fucc does that mean cuz Jeezy got the streets on locc only in the south he gets top ranking and an Artist like 50 Cent and Raekwon got the Streets in motherfuccin United States and fuccin Panama and Angola barely make it

    these niggas is out they fuccin minds

  26. Mark says:

    i officially hate mtv and whoever voted on this list.

  27. console says:

    I thought it was the top ten hottest MC’S list? At least 4 of those guys don’t belong on there and they’re about to diss somebody who does deserve to be on there.

    There has to be a tie for #1, or else Wayne or Ye is gonna get screwed. MTV will not have a list without Em, and Jay and Drake just can’t be denied this year.
