Last night Nicki was in my neck of the woods for the D.C. leg of her Pink Friday tour. Above she makes her entrance reciting verses off your favorite radio tunes. Hey, the bass was high, but her verses turned me on and her pants were mighty fitted, uh, damn!

This year’s Hottest MC In The Game is none other than Eminem. Can’t front, Fire Marshall has been a sizzling for nearly all year long. Read up below: Em got back in the swing of things this year, first by ripping the all-star posse cut “Forever,” which, despite being released in September 2009, had enough momentum to keep playing all the way into 2010. Then he guested on the Lil Wayne single “Drop the World,” […]

Two is not a winner, but in this case, everyone will still remember. On to the next one. “There’s nobody in the game that’s even coming close to spitting how Jay is doing,” MTV News’ Shaheem Reid said. “When you talk about Hottest MCs, that’s the very foundation … and Jay is just murdering everything in hip-hop right now, lyrically.” mtv Previously: Kanye

G.O.O.D. call, guys. “He’s basically putting out a mixtape on the radio,” MTV News supervising producer Sean Lee said during the Hottest MCs roundtable discussion. “These songs are throwaways for his album. He’s taking this beat from here, this feature on here, let me get this person on here, and putting them out to the public. And the public is […]

Initially, he was a spot higher but eventually fell down a notch. Congrats, nonetheless. Drake was a staple on radio all year, whether it was “Bedrock” with Young Money, “Money to Blow” with Baby and Lil Wayne, “Forever” with Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem, or any one of the songs from So Far Gone that stayed in rotation. “He’s been on the […]

Here’s why: “Teflon Don, that’s the album of the year right now, I don’t care what it sold,” MTV News’ Shaheem Reid said during the Hottest MCs roundtable. “From ‘I’m Not a Star’ down to [‘All the Money in the World’], ‘Tears of Joy,’ it just really grips your soul when you hear him having the foresight to bring Cee-Lo back. Cee-Lo was singing his […]
