Rick Ross: #3 Hottest MC In The Game

With solid guest appearances and his album God Forgives, I Don’t under his belt, it was only right that the hardest working man takes the number three spot. Only two left.

“When you talk about some of these cats, it’s a quantity-versus-quality thing, and that’s not the case with Ross — he has both,” said MTV‘s VP of Music & Talent Programming Strategy, Yomi Desalu. “Ross is out there putting in work.” Not only did Rozay drop his gold-selling, #1 Billboard album God Forgives, I Don’t, he also rallied his Maybach Music troops to release the compilation Self Made, Vol. 2. Of course, who can forget that he gave out a pair of mixtapes for free: Rich Forever, at the top of 2012, and the jacking-for-beats-style tape The Black Bar Mitzvah, in October. Combine all of that with a string of features on hit records like Usher’s “Lemme See” and French Montana’s “Pop That” and it becomes increasingly difficult to deny the MMG mastermind.

  15. it's the roc says:

    can’t knock it, although sometimes i wonder if rick ross is hot or if he’s just flooding the game with so much shit (songs, visuals, vlogs, etc) that it just seems like he’s hot. his level of visibility and the numbers he does never seem to match up, unless you’re talking about mixtapes

  16. stuart scotts eye says:

    Please tell me lil wayne will not end up 2nd…his verses are hella weak…2 chainz deserves 2nd more so than wayne…this list is not very accurate…either way k dot is the top mc
