All hands on deck! Once again, the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust members are picking, sorting and battling over their choices for the top 10 Hottest MCs in the Game. They are considering everyone who has been active from the time of the highly controversial first “Hottest MCs in the Game” — which published in July of last year — up until now.
The artists are being judged on lyrics, flow, swagger and overall impact. You’ll get to see the Brain Trust go at it again on Friday, May 16, at 10 p.m. ET on MTV, when MTV News Presents the second edition of “The Hottest MCs in the Game.”
Obviously, true hip-hop fans will have more than a mouthful to say after the results are in — but why wait? We’re giving you the chance to have your say right now: While we encourage you to send in your full top 10, right now we want you to participate in this poll and tell us your pick for the #1 Hottest MC in the Game right now.
Please note: This audience poll will have no impact on the Brain Trust’s final top 10, but the results will be included in our coverage.

Now i know you all are thinking no andre 3k and jay-z and nas are low, but they are really are falling off, and as 4 andre he be saying some borderline retarded stuff.Eminem haven't came out with nothing but he is still 1 of the best lyrically. Lupe is the best alive i say the best ever but thats my opinion i cant believe cass not on here he way better then most of them. Lil Wayne very overrated he say stupid stuff also.But i guarentee i have the most versatile list and the closest to the best, but if you dont agree with it u cud comment about it, but its my opinion and ur not gnna change it
SOULJA BOY? REALLY MTV?

Over 1/2 of these people are jokes. The only thing good about them are the beats they didn't even produce. This list says best MC not who rappers over club bangers or who has this arbitrary swagger. MTV needs to look at some MCs that aren't mainstream and even those that are like Black Thought. C'mon people!

2.lupe fiasco

GAME ALL THE WAY.
Nas is the illest on the East, s****y cent needs to stick to promoting vitamin drinks before he gets his chain snatched up AGAIN
BWS 4 Life!!!!!!!!!!g-Unot!!!!!!!!
ToneofMurdacopa TERRAZONA~BWS
rocko? are you serious? this kat is horrible. plies? what? what substance are they bringing to hip-hop. NONE!!! come on. please don't continue to blemish the word MC with this nonsense. Its not good for the culture, but i guess that doesn't matter much to MTV.
So since Eminem is not on this list, nobody else deserves my vote.
I loved Lil Wayne in the first 2 Hot Boys albums, Tha Block is Hot, and How You Luv That Vol.1 and 2, but now... bleh. His voice is still unique, but he needs to go back to writing lyrics instead of free styling everything. For example, "I miss my Dawgs" - that's his probably best lyrical piece ever, but he wrote that long before Carter dropped. Look at his lyrics now... no meaning, and no sense.
Eminem is hands down the best around.
most peolple that really knows and feel Rap/hip hop music dont check mtv.com daily to get the chance to see and vote here, most people that vote are just mtv fans, some may really now the game, but most I dont think they do, and there“s people that vote all day 1000 times 4 they favorite rapper or just for f**k another one, ANYWAY!! everybody is gonna watch the TV show, real people will know if the hottest mc in the list, is the hottest 4 real!
Lupe is the best.or kanye. or flo rida.lil wayne maybe.
the criteria should be who can give you the hottest 16 bars period. 50 Cent on this list? are you serious? good business man. terrible lyricist. he's not even the best mc, excuse me, rapper in his crew, much les in the world. are record sales your criteria? then 50 and soldier boy are peers. most talked about? get arrested and you're part of the conversation.
based on skills you have to go with wayne, luda, hova, kanye, etc. but since you won't, i will always take issue with the list. until the ONLY criteria is who would win mc to mc & %?% to %?%, then the" braintrust " is wating their time.
true lyricists have names like Rakim, Canibus, Black Thought, Redman, Big Pun, Big L, Jay-Z, Eminem, Andre 3000, Common, Camp Lo, Cassidy, Jadakiss, B.I.G., etc. you can't put half of the wack rappers that will headline your list in the room with true lyricists that will be inevitably left off of the list.
When you want to put together a meaningful list, and not the politically correct one, holla at me. Your braintrust has NO credibilty in the eyes of true hip hop fans. If your life depended on a hot 16, who would you want to write it?
Ludacris
Snoop Dogg
Nas
F*** the rest
you won't money. Yes. so if i hear get ya money duffle bag boy that what motativate me. Not no dumbing down a dang song. Rap=motatvation

I agree with the first guy about Weezy and Baby bein wanna be gangstas n s***. Eminem is tied for first can't tell me I aint right. Any problems meet me in detroit n****s
2. The Game-Gets better and better everytime out
3. Lupe Fiasco- Breath of fresh air of new artists with all the trash that has come out the last few years.
4. Snoop- The only real old g left in the game.
5. Kanye-3 solid ass albums
6. Outkast- Best group to ever come out of the south.
7. Wu-Tang- Greatest Group period, but didnt stay on top as long as outkast did.
8. Jay-z- Just cause hes been around so long, and has had some good stuff. Still the most overrated mc ever, besides 50 cent who definitely wont be on this list
9. Lil' Wayne- Used to be a hater, but he does come out with some good stuff, still isnt better than any of the dudes i put b4 him tho.
10.Clipse- Both dudes spit fire and both their cds have been good ass cds
