  3. budgefkuhgewf says:

    Obviously Em will on the list. #1 album for months + new videos coming out frequently + collabs + freestyles. That makes you relevant all year round.

  4. mrak says:

    Pusha will be on it somewhere, probably 8 or 9.

  5. Damn Homie.... says:

  10. Chex says:

    These lists don’t matter honestly. Nor do Grammys, Forbes List rankings, etc. It’s all about the music.

  20. A Chick says:

  21. CapricornReligion says:

    Hmmmmm…. Well, this is My top 5 right now for the list… 1)Eminem 2)Kanye 3)Nicki 4)Jay-Z and 5)Drake… The rest I can care less about because, I know B.O.B or Whiz Khaifa isnt going to make the list.. Even tho B.O.B had one of the best albums of this year, and Whiz has a NICE buzz right now… But anyway as long as Em is in the Top 2, Im cool.. Because I cant lie, Nicki is killing shit right now, and Kanye is killing shit right now.. Drake is doing good but, AT THE MOMENT Nothing is really going on with him…. I cant wait, even tho I doubt I will be Complaining again like I did last year… Lol

    LMAO CO-F*CKIN-SIGN!!!

  23. jdot says:

    If i don’t see Banks on the list..

  24. Yousef says:

    Hottest MC’s list? well drake, wayne, nicki, rick, waka, these chumps are not MC’S!!!! When will MTV get it? fuck outta here.

  25. Let My Nigga Live says:

    Rick Ross
    Gucci
    Drake
    Kanye West
    Lil Wayne
    NIkki Manaj
    Eminem
    Jay Z
    Plies
    Wakka

    Maybe 2 of these are in my top ten but Im guessing this is where MTV will be headed if Sucker Free Sundays are of any relavence.

  26. D-manded says:

    co sign chris..i dont give two fucks who and who doesnt make the list because a round table of niggaz aint gonna change my perspective on whos my favourite

  27. wyewy says:

    whats so funny about Banks making it?

    He had a hit (BBB), and an even bigger one is out right now (Start It Up)

    All his Blue Fridays tracks are fire.

  28. Delejayn says:

    1. Eminem (Biggest year out of any artist in terms of billboard sales and Number #1 Records)
    2. Drake (TML sold well, signed to sprite and kodak…one hell of a year…two major tours
    3. Nicki Minaj ( What Else can Be Said….single handledly taking over mainstream rap
    4. Rick Ross (Album of the Year in Teflon Don, Summer Smash records)
    5. Lil Wayne ( No ceilings mixtape, IANAHB, what hasnt this guy done except release a classic album)
    6. Kanye West (Good Fridays, Powerful first single, Return to the pennacle of Rap)
    7. Lloyd Banks ( Return to Rap forefront, great year for him)
    8. J Cole (wouldve been higher but needs to deliver that Album, most consistent rapper today)
    9. Jay Z ( Dope Verses but he hasnt really rapped by himself much this year…he stayed relevant business wise and by being featured on dope records)
    10. Pusha T ( snuck in the latter part of the year, really giving us G.O.O.D music….)

  29. datdude4life says:

    All i’m gonna say is they can’t have a top 10 list and not include Wiz Khalifa. Dude doing a national tour off a mixtape. who got a bigger buzz on the internet than Wiz? I think J. Cole will eventually make it but not this year. He hasn’t done enough to make it. Nicki will definitely make it. She single handily bought the female MC back to prominence. Ross should make the list because he had the hottest single of the year with BMF. Em will definitely take the #1 spot just based on sales. Wayne will make the list he definitely did his thing with Rebirth and his new joint. Jay will make the list again. anytime you make 63 million in one year you deserve to make the list. Drake will also make the list because he’s the only other rapper besides Em to go platinum. B.O.B will make the list hes dope and did numbers too. the test i can’t call. waka flocka or gucci should make the list. the killing the streets right now. a guy that I think should make it but won’t is Big K.R.I.T. Next to Kush and Orange Juice K.R.I.T. Wuz Here was the hottest mixtape of the year. Should be interesting though!!!!

  30. A Chick says:

    The list ain’t long enough for Banks to be on it.

  31. wyewy says:

    anyways.

    Eminem
    Drake
    Kanye
    Ross
    Gucci
    Wayne
    Nicki
    Banks
    BoB

    not the best.

  32. KingWonder says:

    Maaaaan I bet Gucci will make #1 and he’s not even a fucking MC!!!!!!!
    fuck MTV.
    they dont know how to make lists for shiiiiiiiiiiiiit
    how the fuck is Jay $1 last year when he didnt even make a dope line in his whole album!?
    they judge on singles….they dont even take time to listen to the whole album.

    FUCK MTV……….FUCK MTV……………..FUCK MTV

  33. Truth says:

    Nobody cares who our tops are. Just to be honest. Its about who they want the public to see as relevant and on top so those ppl keep sellin

  34. jpilk293 says:

    no order
    eminem
    jay z
    kanye west
    lil wayne
    drake
    nicki minaj
    gucci mane
    rick ross
    b.o.b
    lloyd banks
    its not about who can rap the best its about who the hottest is!

  35. mistafab says:

    1.)Eminem
    2.)Jay Z
    3.)Drake
    4.)Nikki Minaj
    5.)Kanye West
    6.)Lloyd Banks

  36. Citylivin' says:

    this will be the list
    1.Drake
    2.Drake
    3.Drake
    4.Drake
    5.Drake
    6.Drake
    7.Drake
    8.Drake
    9.Drake
    10.Drake
    and MOST definitely NOT my choices, that’s what it’s gonna be tho HA!

  37. Jacky Pan says:

    @Zone6 you missed out one part Hottest “Mc’s” and Waka flocka aint a muthafuckin mc you idiot just some commericial abc rapping bitch

  38. JOeyzz says:

    Banks should be on the list but there I dont expect mtv to put him on they love nicki minaj and drake types to much u no there gonna put lupe and b.o.b. on the list kanye will be number 1
    i think Lloyd Banks is a top 10 hottest right now there is no way he will be on the list
    last year the fans voted and they did not put any of the input in there

  39. Toya says:

    Unless they find some reason to exempt him, Eminem should make the list.

  40. Mr. October says:

    Black people say Jay is the greatest and white people say Em is the greatest. NOW when you’re electing who the HOTTEST is, that’s a different story. It’s undeniably Eminem who has a crazy buzz, still at the top of the charts, is predicted to sweep the grammys and is the highest selling artist this year in any genre. It’s a no brainer whether you like it or not

  41. Black Shady says:

    Em is definitely #1

    if Banks doesnt make the list and some wack ass rapper like Wacka or Gucci makes it, its FUCK MTV FOR LIFE

  42. Mr. October says:

    @Delejayn your list is legit even though I hate about 4 people on there. You can’t deny that they are hot right now…..

  43. Jacky Pan says:

    i gotta sick feeling in the pit of my stomach they going to put either nicki or drake as #1 and im telling you if lil wayne makes the fucking lists thats it im going to boycott this mtv list bullshit and form a petition to shut it down muthafucker been in jail for a year Rebirth was wack, IANAHB was wack.. Celings Mixtape ok its was ite and doing a video with em.. which was done before he went to prison so its not relevant now

  44. WindyCityG says:

    If Banks not up there and Em is not # 1 or 2 , MTV loses all credibility which is not much to begin with

  45. WindyCityG says:

    J . Cole also needs to be there even tho no album def. hottest underground

  46. Skye says:

    i agree with @delejayn. thats exactly how the list SHOULD be. But mtv is gonna be on some bullshit again. IMO Jay shouldn’t even be on the list. If Em wasn’t hot enough to make it last year, then Jay isn’t this year. Yeah he did stuff but hotness level is equal to em last year so he SHOULD NOT make the list. and they are for sure gonna have waka flocka flame.

  47. GREG says:

    RICK ROSS IS HANDS DOWN NUMBER 1

  48. Soulja hurricane cris says:

    Airbody love me
    You ain’t fuking wit my dougie

  49. Soulja hurricane cris says:

    Soulja boy tell them should be namb 2
    And namb one goto the big homie yg toot it and boot it

  50. Motor City says:

    drake its gonna be the #1 ..all the mtv interviews , behind the scenes and shit must have a reward or something . jay its not #1 right now ..maybe kanye or eminem … but crazy things happen (ross)

  51. ??? says:

  54. DopeOnARope says:

    J-Cole?? LMFAO dude fell off already. Raekwon got the most features of any other rapper in the last year so he might make the list again.

  55. Android says:

  79. Thank Me Hater says:

    @ready? That’s the best list I’ve seen so far except for the placement of Jay-Z He’s def gonna get points for being on the forbes list and having meetings with Warren Buffet and such. Plus he DID do those sold out concerts with Em.

    My top ten hottest MC’s, fuck MTV

    1. Eminem (Recovery record sales were unreal)
    2. Kanye (Good fridays, Power, Runaway)
    3. Nas (Distant Relatives is way too slept on)
    4. Rick Ross (BMF, Free Mason, Aston Martin Music were all top 25 songs for me in 2010)
    5. Big Boi (Sir Lucious was the third best album imo behind Recovery & Distant Relatives)
    6. Bun B (Trill OG was dope)
    7. Drake (TML didn’t live up to my expectations, but it was still nice)
    8. J. Cole (Who Dat, Higher, The Blow Up unofficial mixtape)
    9. Lil Wayne (I’m Not A Human Being was decent)
    10. B.o.B (My favorite album of the year, but don’t consider most of the songs hip hop)

  93. Certifiedone. says:

    MTV sucks, even if Em is at #1 MTV still sucks ass.
    Em, and Big Boi better be high high high up on the list, fuck Jay, just because you made it on the forbes list doesn’t mean you are a hot MC. Jay should be excluded from the list, no hate I like Jay, but he hasn’t done any good shit musically this year. Except for a concert but that’s it.

  94. mrak says:

    1) Em (Relapse, enough said)
    2) Kanye (GOOD Fridays are the best thing in music right now)
    3) Ricky (TD was….awesome)
    4) Jay (the man sells out stadiums, come on now)
    5) BoB (So many singles off that album, he’s the next Kanye)
    6) Drizzy (If only for that Aston Martin verse, verse of the year)
    7) Nikki (A lot of buzz for a girl without an album or a consistent mixtape)
    8) Pusha (He’s finally making a move, lotsa exposure over the past month)
    9) Lil Wayne (This junky stays in the news even from rikers)
    10) J. Cole (finish your damn album, son)

  95. RECOVERY says:

    If Eminem ain’t number 1…

  96. HOOD says:

    MTV is a joke, but ill keep an eye out on this

  97. Pop a Pill says:

    OK FOOLS THE REAL LIST:

    1. NICK CANNON
    2. T.I.’S LIFE
    3. WACKA FLOPA
    4. GUCCI MANE
    5. KID CUDI VS. WALE

    10. Pusha T ( snuck in the latter part of the year, really giving us G.O.O.D music….)

    this seems to be the most accurate of them all.

    but T.I. & Bun B would trump Pusha T and J Cole.

    Bun B = 5 mics. damn near classic LP with Trill OG. he killed the internet 1st with the song a day/song a week earlier this year.

    T.I = Fuck a mixtape, Takers. came home and got busy..too bad he gotta do it all over again Next Year.

    sometimes i think he likes being in the system.

    J cole is maintaining but he ain’t hot. he like the new bleek. one hit away, he just gotta get on the radio heavy.

    pusha t did sneak in at the end with the G.O.O.D. friday tracks but what happen to 09/14 mixtape?

    not a fan of these “Industry” generated list. i feel the people are the “experts” since we are the biggest supporters of the music, wether its bought or downloaded, but at the end of the day it is the music that stands firm on whos the hottest. NOV 23. get em all!

  99. EMoney says:

    If I may…. Ppl must keep in mind this list is just the opinions of so call “influential people” in the industry. I would like to know is what are they baseing these MC’s own because if its flow the its only right you include
    FABOLOUS ( the funeral music mix tape was CRAZZY)
    if its album sales the the crown goes to Em ( Most sold records of 2010 for a rap artist).
    The Biggest Buzz would have to go to Nikki or BANKS (HFM2 cant wait!!!)
    The most underratted MC would have to be B.O.B, Vado or Tyga ( let the HATE Start…lol)
    Drake had a successful year
    Rick Ross had the streets buzzed for a min ( but not worthy of best album sway)
    The Most entertaining MC is no other then 50 cent ( and he even stepped his bars up as a featured artist on several R/B songs)
    You cant add Lil Wayne cuz the man as been locked up for most of the Year ( so please dont try)
    T.I has been occupied with the movie business and his new conviction ( Damn T.I)
    and last but not least the most improved MC would be no other then Maino. (he really caught my attention this year…BROOKLYN!!!!!)

    Special aknowlegment to Kanye West ( just to many features for my taste…one or two is cool but DAMN)

  100. sirdouglas says:

    I agree with @delejayn for the most part except for order and the fact that you believe Pusha would be on the list after 1 significant feature and 2 regular ones and Waka flocka who had 2 Semi Hits on his own wont be and Gucci mane who is pretty much the hottest in the south won’t be. Im not a fan of Waka or Gucci in no shape form or fashion and I am a fan of Pusha and the Clipse from Day 1 but this is Mtv were talking bout and keep in mind this a Hottest List not Nicest. i think the order will be…

    1. Eminem
    2. Drake
    3. Nicki Minaj
    4. Rick Ross
    5. Kanye West
    6. Lil Wayne
    7. Jay-Z
    8. Waka Flocka
    9. Gucci mane
    10. Lloyd Banks

  101. EMoney says:

    J Cole just doesnt do it for me…I need to hear more material i guess

  102. EMoney says:

    Gucci and waka is nice sirdouglas but not better then banks

  103. EMoney says:

    Shout out to Wiz Khalifa and Donnis……

  104. teejay says:

    I dont know about ross, he kinda came and went after the album dropped.

    If eminem isn’t number 1, I have no idea what the fuck he would need to do to make it. Almost 3 million sold in 4 months, giant stadium shows, 2 #1 hot 100 singles, and most importantly, his music is still on point. He’s one of the most respected in the game. What else can he do to be a better rapper than get re-vitiligo and turn black.

  105. sirdouglas says:

    this aint a list about Nicest its the hottest. i dont even like Gucci and Waka but they Buzzing hard. Banks just started bubbling again

  106. jay jenkins says:

    1)Eminem
    2)Drake
    3)Rick Ross
    4)BOB
    5)Wiz khalifa

  107. Eric Lee says:

    did anybody else seee that wayne is at #8?

  108. Sin says:

    Ain’t that yellow nigga on that panel

  109. AF1Colt45 says:

    lol , i can’t imagine how full list will look like , of course i think em gonna be #1 , and im glad about it , but its MTV HOTTEST MC LIST!!! look how fucked up last years list was. If somehow all mtv drop dead and motherfuckers like them with lists like this too , then old school rap would be able to come back , cause mtv is for suckers who is rating music not by its content but about how hot it is .

  110. Fuck america says:

    1-Eminem
    2-Slim shady
    3-Marshal Mathers
    4-jay-z
    5-kanye west

  112. Comedyjunkie06 says:

    You guys are nuts kanye should easily take this! New amazing album blowing away music for free every Friday. Lol at anyone else takin this

  113. AF1Colt45 says:

    btw , fuck sway for saying bullshit like , em wasn’t hot enough … and how can teflon don be album of the year ??? diddy probably paying mtv suckas , for saying shit like this .

  114. Rozay's left ball says:

    @JOeyzz not saying this in a bad way but why would they put lupe in for? has hasn’t done much he I swear he wasn’t even in that list last year or year before. So why they would put him in this year without an album god knows. Just saying………its just gonna be ur usual people top 10 with few changes who gives a flying f*** what MTV think they can suck Rozay’s Cojones….The right one preferably.

  115. Truth23 says:

    Before anybody goes all crazy on me, if this was really about emceeing, most those pple wouldnt be on there. But since it’s all industry, and about who’s HOT, here’s who i think will be on that list, in no particular order :

    – Jay-Z (MOST relevant, makes the MOST moves, his verse are the MOST anicipated and the most dissected, sells out stadiums, has a hand in pretty much everything, he’s almost 41, and just the fact alone that he’s considered for the HOT list at that age is beyond bonkers. He probably influenced anybody that will be on that list in some shape or form. He’s really an MC)

    – Eminem (Crazy numbers, his omission from last year’s list was illogical, solid album, also sold out stadiums, comeback of the year. And like Jay, he’s really an MC)

    – Drake (Very anticipated, very prolific, album did well, great transition from the mixtape game to the industry, a lot of touring, was pretty much on every record that came out, or at least it felt that way. Co-signed by the great ones (Jay, Em, etc)

    – Rick Ross (Album of the year, relevant beats, guest verses, arguably had the most celebrated song/club banger of the summer)

    – Kanye West (The MOST prolific, GOOD Fridays songs, the love for the game, a great comeback year from the Taylor Swift gate, a very anticipated solo album and collabo album with Jay)

    – Nicki Minaj (Created a cult of followers, the MOST important rap artist of the moment – apart from Jay, Em and Kanye -, innovative, stood her own on a track with 2 of the most celebrated rappers of the past decade, a very anticipated solo album, kept YM afloat with Drake while Wayne served time)

    – Lil’ Wayne (Created buzz even while in jail, gets credit in a way for Nicki and Drake’s success, has the most important rap label/movement of the moment, very prolific even while in jail)

    – Fabolous (Mixtape of the year, a myriad of brilliant guest verses, the MOST sought after rapper for r&b remixes)

    – Young Jeezy (A lot of touring, had one of the best club bangers of the year, a lot of guest verses)

    – J. Cole (ROOKIE of the year, the MOST anticipated upcoming release, a lot of co-signs)

  116. jaybee32 says:

    who put ross and gucci on the list? them faggots suck dick.

  117. LUCIFER says:

    wtf has some black people got against eminem? he aint fucking pop just because he aint talking about bitches, cars, hood and bling and drugs guns all the fucking time.. no1 wants to hear that shit anymore it dont sell gangster rap is over you just got these fake gangster puppets spitting so soft that a 3 year old could understand.. nothing tough about it trust me soon you gonner have gucci, waka focker making pop videos just to sell so FUCK YOU DONT HATE ON MY OPINION!!

  118. mac DIESEL says:

    BE ANOTHER WACK ASS LIST FROM MTV… THE ONLY LIST I WOULD PUT DRAKE, GUCCI & NICKI ON IS MOST OVERRATED NIGGAS OF ALL TIME

    DONT HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  119. Uh-oh says:

    Eminem is the obvious #1, the other possible candidates are as is:

    Jay-Z
    Kanye
    Nicki Minaj
    Drake
    Rick Ross
    Ludacris (dude had his fourth #1 album and was on EVERY SONG as well as having his own hits)
    Gucci Mane (eh)
    Fabolous
    Lil wayne (though he’s locked up, I think he may land between 6-10).

  120. killyou says:

    EMINEM will be 1

  121. dainventah says:

    IMO if they really wanted to make this list legitimate they would make it like the Golden Globes were only industry niggas, including artists are allowed to vote and the voting is anynomous…that would be awesome….they wacka flocka and all those other cats would finally get the picture…when every talented person/peer in your industry thinks you are 6000 on a list of 6002 then maybe that will motivate you to STEP YOUR GAME UP!!

    just a thought…

  122. Just real says:

    What about YELAWOLF?

  123. 3's UP says:

    1 – Em
    2 – Dolla
    3 – Jay-Z
    4 – J. Cole
    5 – Drake

  124. ATLien says:

    @Kidd Billion@aire….

    You have no idea about hip hop at all. Stick to listening to your commercial radio shit with no concept, little boy.

  125. ATLien says:

    You kids do realise that hottest doesn’t mean best. It just means who’s more commercial and played on the radio for little kids. The best MC’s don’t even make this list, because the people who do the list have no idea at all about the music. Andre 3000, Nas, Black Thought and Big Boi don’t even get a look in on these lists yet they are 4 of the best MC’s around.

    The list should be called the “commercial pop artist list.”

  126. fuck boyy says:

    mtv hates eminem they didnt even put shady as people that meant the most to hip hop now there realizing that hes the best rapper to ever live clearly hes number one and they spelled mc wrong its EMcee

  127. rus says:

    1. eminem (obviously)
    2. Kanye (his singles arent all dat, but his anticipation for his new work is crazy right now)
    3. Drake (hate dude..but people seem to like him)
    4. nicki minaj ( only cuz she the only female working right now)
    5.ludacris (dude on everybody shit, had the 5 biggest songs of the year- how low, my chick bad, baby, break your heart, and all i do is win)
    6. BoB ( his singles r all top 10 material)
    7. rick ross ( dat BMF track got him a lot of attention)
    8. jay-z ( still puttin down so good verses since BP3)
    9. T.I. ( mixtape was fire, album anticipation, and his prison problems)
    10. Nelly (having a good comeback think people really miss dude, i do)

  128. Android says:

    But I take this shit as a grain of salt. What does mtv know?

  138. The Return Of= ZoomZoom says:

    BUT 2011 THE LIST IS JUST GOING TO CONSIST OF LIL WAYNE FROM 1-10 NO OTHER RAPPER HAHA!!!!!

    C4 x D4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> YOUR MOM!

    THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE WEEZY WEE!

  139. Thang X says:

    MTV doesn’t have the merits to release a top 10 MC list. It’ll be a Hip POP list.

  140. Young Mo Fo says:

    Cosign @Kidd Billion@ire
    Im a fan of J.Cole but I dont think hes gonna make the list for some reason. Instead it might be Waka or Wiz.. they have a helluva buzz. Especially Wiz, his followers be hammering nails onto their genitalia LOL

  141. DJ Game says:

    these people should not have any right to have a say of who is hot and who is not. to not include eminem on last years list, you have got to be out of your mind. he was one of the most talked about mc’s and you didn’t even have a sticker of his name to put him atleast number 10. instead you had the young jeezy’s and gucci mane’s. pathetic. this is why mtv and bet are retards.

  142. Jordan says:

    it goes like this

    1)Eminem
    2)Drake
    3)Kanye
    4)Rick Ross
    5)Nicki Minaj
    6)Wiz Khalifa
    7)B.O.B
    8)Jay-Z
    9)Lloyd Banks
    10)Ludacris

  143. Sleepy says:
