For 2012, life was certainly good for Nasir. And with one of the top Rap albums of last year, Esco holds the numero 4 spot on MTV‘s Hottest MCs List.
Not only did Nas drop potent stick-to-your-rib singles like “Daughters,” “The Don” and “Bye Baby,” he went to great lengths to craft memorable story-driven videos to match. ” ‘The Don’ was a great visual, ‘Daughters’ was a great visual, ‘Nasty’ was great and I think with this record coming off of Distant Relatives, nobody expected this,” pointed out MTV Programming VP Yomi Desalu while referencing the mixed reviews surrounding Nas’ Damien Marley collaboration album in 2010.
I Agree fuck u if u don’t
mtv is a joke
the only right and deserved placing, couldve been at #3 tho, they put that KFC nigga ross at #3.. I BET 2 chainz is #2 and K. Dot is #1.. Goons judgin hottest MCs, Wow.
?
DRAKE WON A GRAMMY FOR BEST RAP ALBUM >>>>> NAS DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT A GRAMMY LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HA !
DRAKE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So there’s the first MC on the list.
NIGGA FUCK NAS
Yup… If u think drake album is better than nas album. Stop smoking whatever it is ur putting in your pipe bro
Damn, wasn’t expecting this. I feel like they put nas on here to keep some credibility
How did SR get a job at MTV? First he said future should be #1 now is Nas doesn’t belong on the list??? You’re an idiot duke. Everyone know LIG was better than TC. His album came second to GKMC.
That dude with the stripe black and white shirt is a fucking hater.
so kendrick drake or 2 chains aint there with two spots left uh oh its bout to get real
okay, i was scared nas was gonna get left off. good spot for him
Who is that clown wearing the footlocker shirt?
Being the confident EMCEE that he is…Nas doesn’t need a list to state his GREATNESS! Nas has longevity & a legendary career and that’s more important than being HOT for a moment. With that said, I bet his position on this list pisses his haters off.
He’s wearing a Juventus jersey. But nevertheless he’s a clown.
Who is that clown wearing the footlocker shirt?
^^
LOL
*cries for a hunnid nights*
Thats questionable yeah i think he do better on this list..but it sales an as a whole in general so im glad he up there
Nas aint hot, no airplay, mediocre sales. Little exposure
he shouldnt have even been on this list
@LJ
footlocker shirt !!! this Juventus (italian football club), one of the greatest football club in the world
Im Suprised. I thought he would of got the 5 slot. But I aint Mad. IMO he put out the best album in 2012 and that > beats a couple features that got on the radio. ANd we all know he was snubbed for the Gramy. Drakes album was good but face it man that shit was an RNB album with some rap.
SO Kendrick is 1 and 2 Chainz 2.
Nas is the last of the titans. I guess he will take the stones. Well Deserved!
And Drakes Album came out the end of 2011 so it doesnt count for this years list
Good job Kendrick, you deserved the 1st spot homje !!!!!!!
Yes! nas deserved this
Fuck yes. Very very dope.
SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK CITY, ELLIOTT “NAS HATER #1” WILSON IS THROWIN’ A CHAIR OUT A WINDOW!!!!
……..HA!!!! EAT IT UP HATERS!!!! QUEENS WINS AGAIN!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Asap, Ye, Drake, Kendrick, and Nas: the only MC’s on the list. Let’s start with that.
This feels forced.
Dude in the suspect referee shirt needs to off himself. The nerve of this guy to talk like Nas ain’t put in his work in 2012. 8th MTV list and this is his 1st appearance though?! That’s crazy. And for the losers on here talking about he doesn’t deserve his slot…how is an album that was pretty much favored to win album of the year at the grammys not hot?! granted Drake won it but no one else was in the conversation. Everyone knew it was a toss up between Life is Good and Take Care. Take Care for its more commercial success and LiG for being what it was. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YALL HEARD EMINEM IN THE FUCKING CLUB?! Yet he usually makes it on this list every year. NOT EVERY RECORD IS MEANT FOR THE CLUB! as a matter of fact…. Kendrick Lamar ain’t made for the club and I bet he’ll get the top slot (well deserved). If it wasnt for A$AP’s Fucking Problems you wouldn’t hear him in the clubs. Nothing on GKMC is for the club except for maybe Poetic Justice but thats not a hype record either. This is what happens when people let radio and club music dictate what is “hot”. Not all music is meant to be heard at 3am banging in a club. Thats all good but again I ask, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD EMINEM BANGING AT YOUR LOCAL CLUB. Stop being dick riders and applying rules to an artist like Nas cuz this referee hasnt heard him in the clubs when this same fool would be sucking off Eminem if he was at all active in 2012.
Nas is the greatest and deserves everthing he gets.
Going by MTV credentials NAS shouldn’t be that high but its what ever. All i know is Kendrick Lamar better be #1.
Dude in the striped jersey is a dickhead. “I ain’t hear Nas in the club…I ain’t hear Nas on the radio.” This is why hip-hop….scratch that, RAP is trash truck juice in 2013. This list is caca.

GOTDAMN! SAME SHYT I WAS THINKING PRETTY MUCH!! AND THAT DUSTY LOOKIN NICCA IN THE JERSEY A CLOWN! NASIR DA GOD !
FUCK THAT FAGGOT HATER IN THE JUVENTUS JERSEY
Tho I’m happy that Nas made the list but, dude w/ the footlocker shirt had a point, Drake still had the bigger yr. Drake should be #1 than K.Dot…
That triple beam verse is enough to make Nas #1, let alone his verse on khaled’s hip hop and his own album
Dude is right about Nas. Just think about it. Don’t get all riled up. Think! It has nothing to do w/his album and how fire it was! He had summer on lock. But this isn’t the hottest (pick whatever word you feel fits) of the summer. #4 is too high, given their criteria.
This gotta be a fuckin joke right? Nas ain’t been hot since Gods Son. This list is like the nfl networks top 100 players, it goes of past achievements!!!
for once damn let dude live it would even be better if he was number1.. he been robbed by grammys all day.. fuck its just a MTV LIST… no one cares about that he might aswell have been number 1

Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a weblog soon but have no coding expertise so I required to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
