At number eight on MTV’s Hottest MC In The Game list is, Waka Flocka Flame. Stop with your boo-hooin’ already and let’s do it!
…On top of all that, the singles “Hard in Da Paint” and “No Hands,” from his debut LP Flockaveli (released October 5), garnered him enough buzz and attention to be voted the #8 Hottest MC in the Game, his first time making the list.
Previously: B.o.B
Flocka! …i know yall MAD!?
This list this year went to shit!
Bullshit!
I think he is wak (see what I did there) but he does have a huge buzz.
Flocka
the people complaining must not go outside….or have a social life. Waka! Waka! Waka!
he clearly doesn’t have a larger buzz than BOB
Obviously this list is based purely on buzz in the US because nobody over here in europe has ever even heard of this guy.
cant front on the dude.he owns the streets!
if we talking buzz and sales alone, BOB shudve beat this dude. I think whitey over mtv is just trynna make u negroes mad for controversy, which then leads to higher ratings. don’t fall for it. change the channel
@B.Dot mostly people on here internet nerds ..and whats hot to them is based on the web and whats hot on the radio and tv clubs, they dnt know about
WTF?!?!?!
i agree that he´s hot and has been working hard …but where i m from MC is a big word
change the name of the list !
He´s not an MC !!!!
I like Flocka, but he shouldn’t be above B.o.B. Either way, congrats Flockaveli. I guess.
Fuck bein hot in the street hood niggas aren’t buyin his shit. I respect his buzz but, this nigga is not a mc, he’s not lyrical fuck! He even said he’s not. You hear waka in certain clubs and on certain radio stations. If your in the top ten you gotta be gettin play any and every where. Real talk fuck bein hot in the hood cuz all we do is download and burn cds. If he was that hot he would’ve moved a 100k units ASAP. Lol fuck this list
@bmo414 tell MTV that …you niggas some cry babys its just a list its not gonna change your life or make you richer …want yall all get together and boycott MTV! ….cry baby azz niggas
Waka should be 9. Banks should be 10. B.O.B should be 8. There really is no way Waka should be higher than B.O.B. He’s performing for the President and has hit records all over the radio and in commercials..
Here’s what the rest of the list should look like.
7. Wayne
6. Nicki
5. Jay-z
4. Drake
3. Rick Ross
2. Eminem
1. Kanye
But this list aint about talen so Waka does deserve a spot just based on buzz.
@bmo414
is nigga is not a mc
^
He is a mc…not necessarily a good one, but a MC nonetheless.
he shoudnt b on there thats crazy
Hey Mac when did Europe get to have an opinion about Hip Hop?
This list is irrelevant.
*shrug* “NO HANDS” DO GO HARD…LOL!
waka flocka flame is hotter than B.o.B and Ludacris???……….SMH yeah right………….. this list is not cool…… eminem had the biggest record outr with relapse and didnt even make the list….. and waka is on the list b/c of two cornball songs and an album that got released less than two weeks ago………… this is all politics I mean Luda is at no. 10 he should be above both bob and waka if u ask me
Thats bullshit. 2 singels and he is on the list?? EM didnt make the list last year,although he sold most albums,won a grammy for best album and inducted run dmc at the Rock Hall Of Fame.
Em should def win this year,with kanye and drake at nr 2 and 3
last yrs list im talkin about in relation to eminem and relapse
Here’s my rationale.
7. Wayne – in jail so buzz has died down from last year, but still managed to be on big records (“No Love”) and release a successful album. Still somehow hotter than artists like Game, Jeezy, T.I who have been releasing new material all year. The Cartter IV might be the most anticipated album of ’11 (Detox don’t count)
6. Nicki – Killing features all year (“Monster” “My Chick Bad”), a lot of buzz off “Your Love” Has the second most anticipated album of the year.
5. Jay-z – Continues to put out hits and make big business moves, Blueprint 3 was his biggest album in years, Home and Home concert with Em, Yankees caps deal, impressive features (“So Appalled” “Monster”)
4. Drake – Album spawned successful radio hits (“Over” “Find Your Love”) features, Unthinkable, penning songs for Rihanna, A. Keys,
3. Rick Ross – Biggest street song of the year with BMF, best hip hop album of the year in Teflon Don,
2. Eminem – Finally made the comeback official this year with Recovery with monster singles “Not Afraid” “Love The Way You Lie” and “No Love”, Home and Home concert with Jay
1. Kanye – Disappeared and came back and managed to bethe mos sought after artist to work with. Created buzz/controversy with “Power” video and has managed to get the biggest artists in the game to collaborate with him. His co-signs havr even blown up other artists (i.e. Pusha T, Lloyd Banks, Nicki). Has the most anticipated album of the year.
BullshiT..! There’s athin line between “sparking debate” and just being plain stupid! Anyway its MTV, what they know?
I swear every year no one Understand that they are not talking about BEST, but hottest. There won’t be Jay Electronica, J.Cole, Mos Def, Sean Price, Black Milk, anyone from Slaughterhouse on the list because it’s about who’s hottest, who’s got the MOST BUZZ.. Once you realize that and look at what other people, besides you, are listening to you realize that Waka Flocka absolutely deserves to be on this list. And I don’t like or listen to dude AT ALL.
At the end of the day, it’s just hip hop. The list means nothing. Hip hop means very little. It’s just music. Enjoy it or don’t. Don’t take it too seriously.
they wont put kanye number one eminem had comeback of the year and actually had an album out that sold like the old days. plus like u said the home and home with jay. kanye has put out a lot of material lately but his album not out before the list so he cant be number 1 over em especially when em wasnt on the list last year but thats fair because em didnt have an album out before the list came so his presence wasnt out there like it is now.
he shuld be no.10 at most. I don’t like any of his music but he has grown a huge fan base
@dagooch, yeah I think that could go either way. They might make Em #1 and Ye #2, but I think either order it’s got to be those 2. Buzzwise though, Kanye’s got it right now. Em, maybe like 4 months ago. I won’t be mad either way though.
Honestly, I don’t even focus on these list because they will NEVER be right. Each person has their own opinion, with that being said, Waka shouldn’t be on the list at all. I have a lot of respect for Waka though. Waka isn’t the most lyrical or talented rapper but he’s doing his thing and I respect his grind and music. The reason why I respect Waka’s music is because he took a chance and came into this industry with a style of his own, when all the other rappers were doing the same thing because they were afraid to be different. On top of that, Waka really took a risk with his career by putting out his type of music in a time when artists aren’t selling records and the music industry is facing a downfall.http://yodonbleekraps.com/
i had a feelin they were gonna put this retard in the list. how you gonna say that wacka flacka faggot is a hotter mc than luda and b.o.b? first of all luda be using the compund syllable rhymes that actually take talent to do (only rappers doin it now are Em, luda, Jay, and J. Cole. B.o.b) Bob has gotten comparisons to andre 3 stacks for the way he rhymes so that alone should have put him above this idiot. i dunno i think the people workin at mtv or that are getting hired to do this shit dont even like hiphop as their favorite type of music. cause this shit is sad. they’ll put wacka in here but you wont see dudes like J. Cole on here who are actual MC’s
P.s. my bad for the long comment but this shit jus set me off
Lord have mercy
onpoint again mtv,you cant deny those club bangers.. next up weezy
Luda’s first time being on the list ?
BULLSHIT listen to his 2008 album Theatre of mind
and he wasnt even in the list of 2008 WTF Go Suck BALLS MTV
agree with the dude who said this guy ain’t a MC..he’s a rapper not a god damn MC. check KRS-ONE’s definition on “classic”
i understand the rationale behind the choice… but…damn… if waka flocka is makin the list, there must be a disturbance in the force haha.
MTV has been long ago been deemed a DISCREDIBLE source! no one cares what they say or think, they are no longer relevant!!! seriously……..?!?!?!?!?
@B.Dot
So just because a song gets played in the club, radio, etc that makes it a hit?
There are too many MC’s not enough MC’s. – Redman ‘I’ll Bee Dat’
@Harlmite.. We get an opinion because we buy it and listen to it just like yous.. Only difference is, we tend to favour raw talent like eminem over marketing scams like Drake..
That dude with the NY hat made complete sense. HIP HOP IS BIGGER THAN “WHAT’S HOT IN THE STREETS?” People in Cambodia are fucking listening to hip hop!! Stop trying to confine this type of music to just your block!!
Too many rappers, not enough MC’s.
So he’s in front of B.o.B? Hey MTV stick to making programming for lazy retards like Skeezy Shore.
My social life doesn’t include any Wack Fake Flamer.
This list should be called hottest mc’s in the club then after hearing that discussion. I’m sorry but if you’re getting played on country stations, pop stations, rock stations you might not be “hot in the streets” (whatever that bullshit means) but you are definitely HOT nationally and reaching a bigger demographic!!
is lil B based God going 2 make the list too since Waka made it?
I have no problem with Waka being on this list cause he is hot….he just shouldn’t be higher than B.o.b. in my opinion
Im convinced ELI PORTER is number one on this list.
Oh fuck off. This guy sucks dick and we all know it.
Wtf this nigga can’t even count
@Reasy F
So just because a song gets played in the club, radio, etc that makes it a hit?
^
uh, last time i checked, yes. *checks rule book*
@B.Dot but do you really feel he should be ahead of B.o.b. though?!
so basically these motherfuccers are going off of Club Music I mean there are more than Just Hood Clubs No way waka flocka flame should be ahead of a nigga who had a number 1 record at the end of the day Mainstream controls hiphop thats why you niggas come on this site and clown niggas on record sales and them two bitches shouldnt even be there Im sry if neither one of them niggas got lyrics you gotta go with who’s more popular waka is not touching no top 40 BoB had the number 1 and number 5 spot simultaneously smh and Wiz nor Banks is on this list watch Wayne going be like number 4 and Jay going to be like Number 2 altho them niggas aint really did shit this year
and SN: How many of you guys listen to original Hard in The Paint or are yall Bumping Curren$y’s or Tyga’s or Ross Version if they going to do that Snoop Shouldve made the list Last Year For Wanna Rocc
OH YOU FUCKING CUNTS. YOU FUCKING CUNTS. FUCK MTV AND FUK THESE MOTHERFUCKING SELL OUTS!
Bullshit who cares if drunk people like his songs. If you wack you wack and you shouldn’t be on no mc list. He fading away wont be no next year for this clown.
If it were hottest MC’S in the game these complaints would have merit but it’s not. He had a big year, it’s not my favorite shit but i like hearing hard in the Paint on my speakers. Stop being so uppity about something as trivial as Mtv’s opinion.
lol upon second look they did call him an MC…Foot meet mouth! Let the hate continue
the top 3 should be
3. Nicki Minaj
2. Kanye West
1. Eminem
2 and 3 can be reversed but aint nobody hotter than them 3 right now Altho I dont listen to her shit she everywhere so honestly you can put her at 2 but Em has to take number 1 dude album entered number 1 and the shit still in the top 10 that shit starting to look like the black eye peas last album like what 50 k motherfuccas still dont have this cd after 6 months LOL but knowing these mofos they going to leave one of those 3 out and they probably looking for controversy so its most likely going to be Kanye Knowing Kanye hates MTV and swears to never perform or come to award show like twice already but he always come bacc LOL o Yea anybody notice that Buttaman the nigga that was hating on 50 on last couple of lists isnt there
so the first 3 mentioned are from @tlanta huh? What a surprise. Bet more than half of that panel are people who are from the north and have relocated to the south. SMFH
Is this guy really hot in America, I’m in Canada and I’ve never heard a song by him played anywhere. Ever.
“Im convinced ELI PORTER is number one on this list.”
BAHAHAHAH
WOW…….The world is coming to an end!When a total bullshit rapper like this motherfucker gets on a list like this you know Hip Hop is just settling for less!Wow man………
Thank Me Hater
^
yeah, its a tough call. it can go either way. i think more people can identify with Waka’s music’s and know it’s him. As opposed to when u hear bob’s song and people say “i like this song, who is this?”
Wacka over Banks & Fab? LOL BIGGEST FUCKERY IN HIP HOP
^^^ I See alot of mad people
^ Fab got recognition, next year banks will make the list if he keep going like he is.
Waka’s buzz is huge, im in london and hard in the paint got mad play in the clubs, and i’d probly say i listen to b.o.b over him, but like that bitch said airplanes come on in the club… wait.. it don’t come on in the club.
Man fuck MTV, that bias ass list. That list based off what? I can’t knock no nigga for trying to eat, but I don’t have to be a fan of bullshit. Hot MC’s consist of consistency, not two damn songs. The capability of putting out hits after hits, just cause them shits gettin radio play don’t mean shit. Mainstream pump wack shit into your brain and Ppl think it’s a hit. Keep gringin Waka but we all know MTV don’t give two shits about our music. Why they don’t do this competition shit with all the other forms of music that be on MTV, only rap cause they know it’s filled with ignorance. Who the fuck cares what MTV think, they just jealous rappers gettin all this fame and fortune off Hip Hop. FUCK MTV, that’s why they cancelled Yo MTV Raps and ain’t had a real Hip Hop show since, MTV2 don’t count!!!!
If this is about buzz then I 100% understand waka being up there. All his singles bang real hard.
But the MTV round table kind of contradicts thereselves in this one.
With ludacris and BoB they talked about how they were able to release main stream
Hits and still be credible. Now yes waka owns the streets with his tracks, but go ask a white girl who waka flocka is and no one will know. He’s not crossed over, the only people who know him are people who follow rap.
Also the round table talks about lyrical content being weighed into the discussion. Enough said.
this is bull shitt that list is lame as hell waka flaka aint no mc
thisis50 has the scoope…
LIL WAYNE is #7…
MTV whack list who they want to be hot
Its funny that niggas getting mad now about this Hottest MC list cause they decided to put his wack ass at number 8 but niggas been saying this list was shit and has no relevance anyway just a way to boost people ego’s and have fans something to complain about.
Yeah, because his “buzz” sold him a whopping 37,000 records. The “Brain-Dead, Trust” strikes again!
@Naughty “Who the fuck cares what MTV think” ….obvious you do …another reason why Waka hot you haters stay saying his name ..more hate = more popular
LISTEN,, HIP HOP IS FOR ALL YOU YOUNG BUCKS .. SO ALL THESE COUNT DOWNS AND MOST OF THESE SITES ,, ARE FOR YOU YOUNG BUCKS.. SO WHEN DUDES LIKE ME COME HERE AND TRY TO SHINE LIGHT ON ALL THE WACK SHIT YA HEAR.. I COME OFF BITTER AND SHIT.. CAUSE YA DONT HEAR ME.. YA ON THIS DUMB MESS.. SO IF WACKA AND I SAID WACKA ISON THE LIST .. THEN DIGGY SIMMONS SHOULD BE ON THE LIST.. AND WILLIOW SMITH SHOULD BE HERE TOO,, WHY NOT PUT JUSTIN BIEBER ON THIS LIST AS WELL.. LETS JUST PUT UM ALL UP ON THESE LIST.. NUMBER ONE EMCEE NICKI MINAJ .. I MEAN JUST DO IT ALREADY .. THIS SHIT DONT MEAN NOTHIN .. I CARE LESS FOR THIS SHIT.. WACKA NUMBER EIGHT AND THEY WERE DECIDING OVER LLOYD BANKS AND LUDA FOR NUMBER 10… THESE GUYS ARE GREAT.. THIS AINT MY HIP HOP.. SHOUT OUT TO ERYKA BADU ..
well its “hottest mc” not “best mc” so i can see how waka is higher than b.o.b
but this guy gets on the list after a couple hits and luda is just making his debut on it..doesn’t seem right
R.I.P. HIP HOP.
LIKE I GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THIS GAY LIST BY MTV. FUCK THIS SHIT.
some of you niggas are online way too much
smh at niggas saying luda and bob have a bigger buzz than waka gtfoh
waka is whats hot in the streets right now
most of niggas is nerds that stay on the computer all day
You have to be kidding me with this fucking ignorant 3’rd Grader……..B. Dot, and all the rest of you Rap Radar pussies are fucking faggots that take it up the ass to digrace hip hop with this list……i will 178% co- sign Yooo
You all are Idiots…..you couldve put Phonte’ on the list over this ignorant piece of shit…..and he barely puts shit out…
Well, I think this much ends the argument that hot should equate to lyrically good..
I mean Nipsey Hot in the Streets he aint making no lists that logic is stupid wtf does any of them motherfuccas know about the streets
haha ive never herd 1 song from this dude,never wanted to, unless it was on the radio.and since i live in the middle of nowhere im thankful…..lol
just listened to No Hands and waka is far from the reason that song is good, this list smells like corruption.
this fool is hotter than Banks or Fab….and im seeing a regional bias already.
i was being sarcastic…he isnt hotter than banks or fab
*goes to listen to “Illmatic” and cry about the future of “Hip-Hop”* smh
people seem 2 4get this list is based on who was hot this year! waka has a buzz. b.o.b has a buzz but to college kids waka has the streets. he’s garbage by far but he kills for 2010. lloyd banks will have get either get the 7 or 6 or else cause he’s not top 5 ross, drake, nicki, kanye & em!
There is SERIOUSLY no way Wack ass Faggot aka Wocka Socka aka Wacky Cock sucka is in the TOP 500 MC’s list.
Im literally done with the internet or TV until this fucking NON SENSE is dead and gone.
Fuck all you morons who are ruining Hip Hop with that kinda fucking trash. Fucking snap ya fingers, Hifey, all that god damn club garbage made for alchoholic losers who are just killing time until they knock some skank up and do there first stint in the clink.
They need to replace evertbody on that fukin panel with artist or DJs none of these cats produce or have ever recorded an album so how the fuck do they have the right to judge the nerve of these bastards puttin a waka flooka fukup in a hip hop category i’d rather see a fat joe in that spot….WTF!!
FUCK THIS. GET THIS SHIT LIST OFF HERE RR!
@so icy boi Lmao are mad that niggas(fans) who support and like rap get slightly irritated with list that come out and send the wrong message to people who hate rap/hip-hop man stop bitchn about everybody else bitchn man cry yaself a river than cross that bitch and get over it. Yo @Bdot I see what you sayin but, he ain’t a MC man he a rapper when you say MC you think common, nas, jay-z, talib kweli, and more lol not waka I respect waka and his hustle but to say he’s a MC is spit in the face to every true MC’s that made the game today. Lol fuck i could’ve lived with Gucci at number 8.
BETTER THEN B.O.B OHHHHH HELLLLLLLLLL NAHHHHHH ! SHAWT BUS SHAWTY
I would rather listen to 50 Tyson and Eli Porter than Waka Flocka Bitch.
I don’t know about him making the list. But what I do know is, he will sell your club the fuck out. He will bring the Bitches out. And they will also tear a club the fuck up. You speaking of sells, you have to admit that half of his targeted audience are from ages 14-25 and don’t work. Unless they pitching, then you got the neighborhood bootlegger. B.O.B alright. Luda too. But they not popping like this Wack ass Waka as I hear him called. And why so much HATE? We can all scream who we thought should be on it. But it’s whatever. Props to all the comments. It’s good to see some good arguements. I hadn’t even thought about it some of the ways you guys put it. Good Look B Dot.
Waka is so bad “ohhh how we do it”…..Cudi better be on this list then, and Wiz who actually have flow and rap with words instead of slurrs
they were right, as much as i hate it. he will never be the most lyrical but he does have a hold on the club/street/ghetto baby scene.
Yelawolf should be on this list
The sad part is that J. Cole probably won’t be on this list. His beats alone sh^t on Flocka’s career. Ahh well.
cant take anything mtv says or does about hip hop to heart
You guys over at MTV have absolutely no credibility left. Not that you ever had any after last year.
I swear the evolutionary process has begun to reverse over at MTV.
SMH @ humanity. BoB lower the Waka? LOL. Pure LOL.
If Lil B is not on this list.
HOW?????????
B.o.B. & Luda both >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this piece of shit joke.
LMAOOO!!! HOWWWW??!!!!ahaha
How Tha FUCK He Make It Over Banks And Fab.What Is Tha World Comin Too.
