Who Is The ‘Hottest MC In The Game’? Cast Your Vote Right Here!

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.

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.

  1. whooa.... what the heck is this ???? people are putting out artist that dont have nada out or got one single or just a lil something something. Its about people who are hot now putting out stuff just like last year i read one good review above about comparing wayne and game thats it every other list is trash. Now this is a list playa's
    pretty much these are gonna be the ten everyone else not going to be on it. The only thing diffrent will probally be the order am i lying ??? u be the judge

    5. Lupe
    6. Snoop dogg
    7. Ludacris
    8.jay-z
    9.Nas
    10.50 cent
  2. Lil wayne is the most overhyped MC ever. His slow dope fiend style is trash. All he has is a few punch lines.
  3. lil Wayne sucks, and I'm from the south so I aint hating on the south, what is he spitting that's so hot. The carter 3 will suck as well. T.I. we miss you dude.

    Lupe, Kanye, T.I, Jay-z, Talib, That' my starting five

    soulja boy, ewwww how did he make the list
  4. Nas is the greatest

    Waynes is overrated

    Lupe Kanye Jay Nas all hold it


    Why is Solja boi on the list??? I know 10 year olds who can put lines together better then him

    niggas who create dances shouldn't even be mentioned
  5. the way the voting is going I have no complaints,

    real hip hop heads know that on Styles P.'s worst day he's better than about half of this list

    and who can deny that Game is one of the top lyricist in the game, besides a Lil Wayne fan...

    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
  12. BLACK THOUGHT!!! COME THE F*** ON PEOPLE THIS GUY HAS BEEN SPITTING LYRICAL PROWESS UNDER YOUR NOSE FOR 20 YEARS NOW!! GIVE HIM HIS JUST!! HE'S NOT EVEN ON THE LIST! AND THIS LIST CONTRADICTS EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE ARTICLE? PLIES IS AN MC?
    SOULJA BOY? REALLY MTV?
  13. Jo lupe got G and if Lil wayne was to retire from bein the best rapper alive...I say lupe should get it...Caz he can freestyle and can rap..plus he don't talk bout "just" money,cars,and s*** like that. Hiz album had a mean 2 it
  14. Right now, The Game, Nas, Lupe, Rick Ross, Wayne,But whatch out 4 them Bone Thugs!!
  15. sickest MC and this is why
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=UZ530KsL1cw
  16. where's common's name? if you'd put 50 cent's name on the list (i don't know what people like about his rhyming- some of the beats to his songs are nice, but his rhyming is less than impressive), then common should be on the list. at least common likes the music he's making while 50 cent is just trying to get paid. heck, he should get a desk job if all he wants is money. there's nothing in his music that makes me feel like he gives a rats behind about anything... i digress. without making this a popularity contest (popularity doesn't equal talent)... i think no one can really touch andre 3000, lil wayne, common, nas and talib kweli. i think jay-z is impressive too, but i'm not particularly a fan of his songs. i think their lyrical delivery and composition are unparalleled. plus, they actually sound like they enjoy rhyming, like they enjoy the music they're making. they put thought into it and it makes me feel their music. it's like comparing britney spears to jill scott- britney's more popular, but jill's delivery means something. one of the hottest rap songs i've heard recently was lil wayne's "i'm me." i wasn't really a lil wayne fan before i heard that song... that was really an impressive record and it made me look at him differently. i got chills when i listened to the passion in his voice- mcs now aren't willing to go there with their delivery. i love nas, but he loses a few points for me somewhat, because it comes across like he's trying too hard to be provocative. just be nas and that provocation would come across without effort. he's done it before!
  17. All dis mess bout who da best is comes down to who done put out da realest s***. Who done said some s*** dat make yu think. All des s****y ppl gettin included in na list of who on top. Webbie...50 cent...Florida...Ghostface...mughaf***as from Clipse....AND SOULJABOY!!!!!!! God damn ppl crazy. Wat typa impact has he mad on ppl? None except teach ah couple mughaf***as how ta dance. All mentioned ant doin s*** an its plenty mo dat ant mentioned dat ant doin s*** either. Who done said some s*** dat made yu think? Wayne, Lupe, Game, Talib, Santana, Kanye, Luda, Common, Rocko, Jay, T.I. an too many ppl sleepin on cass an papoose. An plies doin to. I cant sleep on em. Doin sompin different...supposedly bein ah goon...even though er ona his songs released bout gettin some p****...i guess... but he hot. An ta get ah public opinion ona issue, go walk around an ask ppl da question an wat dey gon say? Somebody dat ant on top. But if dey really listenin na wat dey hearin rappers say, who dey gon say Wayne. Cant nobody top him. Go walk around an listen na wat verses ppl repeatin. Wayne or Gucci or somebody das makin ah impact. An fa real Gucci a**. Heon talk bout s*** cept pillz, dope an bulls***. I mean all dat is included in hip hop an is cool toa certain extent but wen it come down to it...wat da f*** it mean?! S*** das wat. Hella mughaf***as think he da s*** or wateva but he cant compare ta Wayne. Nobody can. But ta me ion really think bout it as who on top, i see it as who say da realest s*** an make yu feel it an be real wit it. I cant really even put em in order cuz dey all makin s*** dat mean sompin so im jus throwin em out der...Lupe, Wayne, Jay, Common, T.I., Talib, Kanye, Cass, Papoose, Santana, Plies. To all otha mughaf***as...dey must not be doin s*** fa real or makin ah impact...an most ppl done voted fa game?! Damn...ant heard s*** from him ina minute...he must be da s*** underground...which ant s*** cuz it ant doin much ta get his a** recognized lik otha mughaf***as. Is he called da best rapper alive....nope...was his album considered ah classic lik Lupe...not ta ma knowledge. Don get me wrong he hot but he ant gettin recognition lik otha ppl. I ant hear his name ina list of conscious rappers wen dey was mentioned. So personally da ones on top is da ones i listed. Im out. DUECES
  18. GAME is the ILLEST RAPPER SINCE TUPAC ARE U PPL ON crack sayin WAYNE is the BEST RAPPER?

    LAX is gonna be the BEST album in f***in years

    u Wayne lovers just wait till the s*** drops
  19. i guess if i turned my list into a top 10, it would look like this:

    1. andre 3000
    2. talib kweli
    3. common
    4. nas
    5. lil wayne
    6. jay-z
    7. ludacris
    8. t.i.
    9. kanye west
    10. snoop dogg
  20. Lupe Fiasco all the way!

    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!
  21. BEST
    1.kanye
    2.lupe fiasco
    3.andre3000
    4.thegame

    worst
    1.souljaboytellem
    2.webbie
    3.plies
    4.shawtylo
  22. who is styles p? how is he 2nd in the voting? game is the hotest in the game. lupe is behind. but come on lil wayne? he is an overrated b*tch. he kissed birdman and people still enjoy him? fat joe blows but i'd take him over 50 Cent. 50's career went downhill after the game left g-unit and when kanye west beat him in the showdown of 07 last. plus the game took apart g-unit and ruined their careers, so if that doesnt mean anything where has music gone wrong.

    GAME ALL THE WAY.
  23. Yo its The Game hands down!!!!!!
    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
  24. with all due respect to the people who put this together, this Hottest MC list is bulls***. I understand that its each person's opinion, but there is no opinionating when it comes to what an MC is. MTV might want to consider calling it the "Hottest Urban Entertainer List" because it seems that those are the artists you're including in this list. MTV isn't concerned with what the MC is saying, etc. If that were the case, Black Thought would've been taking it year after year.

    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.
  25. Eminem! Why is he not on the list? Oh wait... because MTV can't stomach his brilliant lyrics.

    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.
  26. this list is so fake!

    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!
  27. --$$%%/. hip hops comment hees/shees dunb.
    Lupe is the best.or kanye. or flo rida.lil wayne maybe.
  28. If nobody else notices, on peoples own lists of top mcs, you can notice the main few, but it needs to come down to who sends a message in their ryhmes. Thats what a Mc is known to do. Now the only people that do that is Nas and Lupe Fiasco. Now wayne is hot to, but only because he killed "da drought 3." other than that he can't Mc. Now if we are talking about rappers than it changes the list, but come on now Think, Top Mcs. I choose Lupe for Top
  29. at some point, can you please do a " best lyricist " instead of hottest. the majority of these cats are garbage on the %?%.

    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?
  30. Jigga & Nas Is The best, cant nobody take that away from them
  31. haha are you serious these rap niggaz like plies and rick ross cant compare to the game weezy and t.i.p. what is wrong with these stupid mufuphukaz today they dont know whats real and wait aint
  32. G-UUUNNNNNOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  33. The Game
    Ludacris
    Snoop Dogg
    Nas
    F*** the rest
  34. THE GAME IS ON TOP LIL WAYNE IS HELLA TIGHT TO BUT THE GAME IS A HELLA REAL PERSON AND HE TALKS ABOUT THE REAL S*** AND HES LIKE THE ONLY RAPPER (RIGHT NOW) WHOS DOING THAT. THE GAMES ON TOP! THE GAME IS THE REALEST BEST M.C./ RAPPER OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!
  35. I VOTE LIL WAYNE ALL HIS S*** STRAIGHT FIRE HE'S DA BEST AND GUCCI MANE I LIKE HIM TO BUT LIL WAYNE OVER GUCCI MANE ANY DAY
  36. THE GAME hands down. Lil wayne is garbage yall should get off his nuts! ANd all these other commercial rappers have the beats 2 save them cause they sure dont have the lyrics
  37. wow this is garbage...Game cannot be the hottest MC. yall are wack. MTV's wack.
  38. THE GAME IS THE BEST MC THAT THE WESCOAST HAS EVER HAD. THIS DUDE HAS ONLY DROPPED 2 ALBUMS AND HE'S ALREADY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS OF ALL TIME. YALL HATERS GOTTA LISTEN 2 HIS S*** AND IF YOU SAY HE AINT GOT LYRICS YOU KNOW YOU LYING
  39. is so funny how ya saying lupe did ya by lupe album did ya support him if ya think he the best. I don't think so. ya think lupe the best just because he use big words. That's not hip hop. half of that s*** don't make since. Ya gone read this and say im just dumb cause i can understand it, no that s*** don't make since. how you can make a song about dumbing down a song. who cares about that and how is that helping me. then people get mad when people rap about money, don't
    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
  40. ok im seeing alot of people ask, "where is common". Hes not on the list cuz hes more into RnB, hes got the hip hop vibe, and he is an ill MC with his rhymes, but nowadays, he doesnt get the respect nor airtime he deserves along with Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Etc. now i agree with what some people are saying. First off, MTV, change this to who is the hottest RAPPER, most of these artists on this list arent even MC's. I guess anyone mainstream is an "MC" nowadays. too bad no one knows that MC'S and RAPPERS are 2 totally different things, Rappers represent the garbage that is nothing but hype and a waste of airtime. But MC'S are the truth that no one seems to listen to because they're too busy listening to garbage rappers like Soulja. And again, why on earth is soulja boy on this list? He is one of the most pathetic artists out in mainstream, I myself could come out with music better than him and still make more money. Soulja boy is an utter disgrace to everything Hip Hop & Rap. In conclusion this lame election of "whos the hottest MC" is a complete joke. 2/3 of the people who watch MTV, BET, etc, cant even tell you want M.C. stands for. Hell i bet you 2 out of 10 people can tell you what Hip Hop actually is. Everyone is simply brainwashed by the corporate mainstream so they take in whatever is spoon fed to them. Maybe 1 day hip hop will be what it used to be. Bboying in the clubs without getting kicked out, Dj's spinning the REAL s***. And Mc's actually gettin their rhymes out there and stayin true to what Hip Hop was/is. im out

    PyRo
  41. in ma opinion i would say:
    1. The Game (best westcoast rapper now n ma favorite not who i think is best)
    2.Jay-Z
    3.Lil Wayne
    4.T.I.
    5.Kanye West
    6.Rick Ross
    7.Fabolous
    8.Young Jeezy
    9.Ludacris ( he's underated but he's a good rapper)
    10.Rocko (ma favorite new artist)
  42. Honestly Wayne gets Baby to pay for his raps. Game is the #1 MC Right now and for the next ten years like Dr. Dre was. Had Eazy, Pac, Big.... ect. been around we would've said Weezy who???
    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
  43. THE GAME IS THE BEST MC THAT THE WESCOAST HAS EVER HAD.THIS DUDE HAS ONLY DROPPED 2 ALBUMS AND HE'S ALREADY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS EVER. LISTEN 2 HIS S*** AND IF YOU SAY HE AINT GOT LYRICS YOU KNOW YOU LYING
  44. No Eminem??? He's the hottest whether he's active or not.
  45. man were the game at he the best
  46. What about Crooked I? Hip Hop Weekly flipped the rap industry onto its ass. Even if he doesn't have the recognition of a lot of the rappers on the list to vote from, doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it. He is undoubtedly one of the most talented and strongest MC's in the game, and needs a spot on that list
  47. 1. Nas-best rapper alive..by far, jay is the most overhyped machin besides 50
    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
    8
  48. The Game is on a whole different level to rest of you L.A.X. is going straight to 1
    G unit will struggle to sell 10
    Lil Wayne will be number 2
    Lupe And Kanye And Nas rap off for 3rd
  49. Mannn a listen to a millie like 3x n i still dnt get that shit........to me lil wayne talks about the same thing in almost every track.....so its The Game hands down
  50. Black Thought. there's only 4-5 real MCs on this otherwise b**ch list by MTV. Hot for the dollars, not for the cause.
