After last year’s hotly debated ‘Hottest MCs In The Game’ countdown, MTV aired the 2008 edition of the special yesterday. Check out the list below of who the network’s panel (MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust) consider to be the top 10 MCs right now. The main criteria when compling the list was simply MCs who have been prominent within the last year. The list… 10. T.I. (#2 in 2007)
9. André 3000 (#4 in 2007)
8. Young Jeezy (#6 in 2007)
7. Lupe Fiasco (not on 2007’s list)
6. 50 Cent (#8 in 2007)
5. Snoop Dogg (not on 2007’s list)
4. Rick Ross (not on 2007’s list)
3. Lil Wayne (#1 in 2007)
2. Jay-Z (#7 in 2007)
1. Kanye West (#5 in 2007)
9. André 3000 (#4 in 2007)

7. Lupe Fiasco (not on 2007’s list)
6. 50 Cent (#8 in 2007)

3. Lil Wayne (#1 in 2007)
2. Jay-Z (#7 in 2007)
1. Kanye West (#5 in 2007)
Hmm…I personally feel they generally have the right(ish) set of names on the list, however the individual charting of the MCs is definitely questionable…
What do you think of the list?

how is 50 cent in from of Lupe and TI…wtf have they been smoking?
Where is Ludacris? Luda is the man.
What the f***, Rick Ross? Who is he? LOL
EXACTLY WHO IS RICK ROSS, I MEAN BOSS IS HOT BUT NOT CUZ THE BEAT IS ILL F*** DAT DUDE, REAL SHYT SLOPPY ASS H**, HIS PART ON DK’S ECSTASY IS WACCCCCCCK!!! AND NOOOOO LUDA, F*** THAT LIST!!
I reakon Lil wayne is still num 1 he’s so hot right now but i understand why kanye is num 1 and for those dissing rick ross you need to listen to his album and then you will know why he’s there pretty good list.
Real talk, they are missing Luda. I’d trade him for Rick Ross any day.
common wasnt on there and 50 cent was??…das disgusting man….and forget lil wayne hes whack to me…lupe fiasco is great tho..and wheres talib kweli?…
i wouldn’t put 50 on the 1st spot but he makes good music. i think the top three should have had weezy, TIP and Lupe fiasco. jay-z is also good but his beats are too noisy and i find it difficult to understand what he is saying. rosss and jeezy i don regard u guys as mcees. and yeah where is common?
the fact that lil wayne isn’t #1 on that list makes it invalid…seriously….if he is not THAT DUDE right now, i dont know who is……
just check billboard for the past 2+ years…..done.
Where the f***’z Luda? u gon make a top 10 and dont put Luda on?.. what the f*** is these people smokin’.. i mean seriously… u put on Rick Ross and Luda aint on the list? They put on Snoop dogg.. don’t yáll know his last album was wack.. that fruity pop ass gaylord piece of crap.. mannnn i’m out before i really get started…
How is Rick Ross on the list and Luda was left off?! Snoop needs to drop down to number 8..he playing out! Wake up! And 50 cent should Definately be listed before Rick Ross and Snoop! what a joke! He is at least No.4.!!! Not too sure why Andre 3000 still gets honorable mention..i say be respectful and replace him with Luda. Who would you call up to drop a verse on your track..Luda or Andre 3000?
