Closing out Al Lindstrom‘s end of the year awards are Most Valuable Player and Label Of The Year. Once again, YN and the usual suspects weigh in on the Internet’s most talked-about topics.
Previously: Most Improved MC | Rookie Of The Year; 6th Man | Album
how is jay-z even in the mvp conversation? just cause he’s jay-z? don’t get me wrong jay’s a great mc (or at least he used to be) but what did he do in 2010? he had a few concerts with em and was featured on other artists songs. he didn’t even drop an album, just a few of bp3 singles carried over into 2010. in my opinion jay has no place in the mvp 2010 conversation, he didn’t do enough
Was this even a debate….Artist of the year has to go to Eminem…nigga still selling 60k a week with Recovery with 2 number one single and 10 grammy nods…..Kanye Had the better album but not the better year….
And Young Money this year saw 3 Gold Albums and 2 platinums albums…plus a shit load of number one singles and 4 grammy nods……Carter IV, Take Care and Tyga project next year they gonna keep the strangle hold on the Rap game..
Everytime i hear rosenberg talk about eminem i want to slit my wrists. he uses words like “obviously” way too much. Rosenberg, this is a hip hop conversation not a come back conversation or a charts conversation. stop it.
actually i take that back. since this is an mvp conversation i guess charts do come into play. but still.
Kanye hands down.
No shit, how come Mr. Morales & Ms. Yee say Eminem again. I can’t believe they picked him! Who would’ve thought?
For label of the year are we going by total sales or number of artist that had a good year.
Young money has 3 good artist(wayne, drake and nicki) , but they also have a lot of brutal artists like birdman, tyga, mack maine, bow wow, dj khaled, jae millz and etc.
If were going by sales then shady because one artist sold more than the rest of hip hop combined.
Label of the year? Young Money and it ain’t even close. Drake platinum, Nicki on the verge, Wayne put out a album full of wack ass songs and went gold with not a human being, rebrith is on many worst album of the year list and still went gold, the young money album went gold and that was trash. Its obviously YM based on sales even tho none of them are putting out quality music.
If you can put out that much music with that many wack songs and still sell a collective 3-4 mil? That’s a successful label. Expect more wack ass music with no thought, cuz that’s the formula and YM the only niggas without the dignity to keep making music like that.
As far as MVP, based on sales of course And general intangibles. Its Em And here’s why. Ems one album sold as much as the whole YM label almost. Home and Home tour was highly successful. Features on LOUD, Pink Friday, No Mercy, HFM2 and so on? Great MVP-ish year.
SPEAKNG OF MVP I THINK MICHAEL VICK LOSING THAT GAME LAST NIGHT SEALED IT FOR TOM BRADY. WHITE PEOPLE.WIN AGAIN, MY MAN VICK COULDNT DO IT. HE AINT NEVER GONNA HAVE A YEAR LIKE THIS HE ALREADY THROWING HELLA PICKS AND THATS GONNA CARRY OVER
Eminem hands down, the numbers he did shows the strong fan base he has and label of the year….Interscope
^LOL @ INTERSCOPE
YMCMB OBVIOUSLY THE LABEL OF THE YEAR… AND NEXT…. AND THE YEAR AFTER THAT
WHEN YOU GOT THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE FOLLOWED BY 2 OF THE BIGGEST IN THE GAME AND SOME OTHERS SOON TO BLOW UP YOU WINNING
EMINEM IS OBVIOUSLY MVP FOLLOWED BY DRAKE OR NICKI
MICHAEL JORDAN WAS MVP BECAUSE HE MADE EVERYONE AROUND HIM BETTER.
EMINEM DOES NOT DO THAT.
yeah yeah yeah.
Aftermath/Shadyrecords/Interscope wins
Recovery 27 week =137 k
total = +3million
@THEREALSHIFT AGREE THIS SITE BARELY HAVE ANY MUSIC ALL I SEE IS VIDEOS LIKE THIS

IN REGARDS TO THE FIGURES EMINEM SHOWED GROWTH…BUT I THINK KANYE DONE IT FOR ME!
Eminem “Cocaine”… Full song just leaked.. Was going to be “Relaspe 2” First single(Rumor)
@MATIC: YOU TELL THE TRUTH
CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE ASK THESE QUESTIONS WHO DON’T HAVE ANY DICK THAT NEED TO BE RHODE…PETER ALWAYS SAYS EM IN EVERYTHING!WHOS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER…EM..SHUT UP. DRAKE,NICKI,JAY, AND EM CAN’T BE IN THIS TO ME…I THINK ITS KANYE. NUMBERS AREN’T EVERYTHING…EM DID NUMBERS AND THATS IT..AND I LOVE EM. AND JAY DOESN’T COUNT..THAT ALBUM IS OFFICIAL OLD. #ANDTHATSTHEDOUBLETRUTH…RUTH!
Let’s make this clear Jay-Z DOES NOT belong in this conversation….can’t be the MVP of the rap game by coming out with a book
MVP Kanye West
Label Young Money Cash Money
@zoomzoom
Yeahh, now people be posting the real exclusives in the comments lol!!!
yea dominate label is young money / cash money ………. no wonder hiphop sucks rii now
Other than his album sales, wut has eminem done this yr to IMPACT THE GAME wutsoever like the way Jay, Kanye, or shit, even Wayne or drake?
I’ll wait…. Valid arguments only plz, and remember I said other than album sales
Oh and I saw somebody say features, but bein featured on songs no one will care about or remember nxt yr doesn’t count as impacting the game. But a feature like jay on so appalled that will b remembered and droppin a top sellin book that helped define hip hop does count. Comin out wit the g.o.o.d Friday series bringin so many artists that wouldn’t otherwise collab does count. Bein associated to nothin but hits like drake does count. Bein relevant in the game while bein locked up does count.
I could go on, but y’all get the point
M.V.P=Eminem!!!Hands down!!!You can ride Kanyes nuts like enuff all you want but,2010 was Ems year!!!Men lie women lie #sDON’T!!!Shady Motherfuckers!!!14 years and still relevant!!!
