MTV 2009 Hottest MCs In The Game (Full List)
October 5th, 2009 at 1:26 PM

mtv-hottest-mcsThe 2009 Hottest MCs in the Game rollout is now complete! As in 2007 and 2008, the list, determined by the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust, is based on an MC’s achievements right now, rather than an entire career.

The criteria is based on a combination of rhyme skill, flow and how those things are implemented musically as the main factors. The Brain Trust also considered buzz, impact, commercial success sales, airplay, business ventures, Web presence, endorsements and helping to spawn other artists’ careers and the intangible, impact: Can an artist not only contribute to the rap game but influence cultural shifts? Are they trendsetters?

All of these factors and the results of our audience poll, which closed last week and got a vote at the Round Table during the Brain Trust’s debate contributed to deciding who is the Hottest MC in the Game.

The Full List
10. Raekwon
9. 50 Cent
8. Fabolous
7. Young Jeezy
6. Gucci Mane
5. Rick Ross
4.Kanye West
3. Drake
2. Lil Wayne
1. Jay-Z

    WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HIP HOP? HIP HOP IS DEAD BECAUSE OF MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE YOU. WAS THIS LIST JUST PULLING NAMES OUT OF A HAT? THIS LIST BASED ON THE CURRENT CRITERIA, THIS NAME MAKES SENSE- BUT ONLY BECAUSE BITCHES LISTEN TO SHIT. SUPPORTING GUCCI MANE? ENDORSING VITAMIN WATER FOR 50? ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIST IN ORDER THE TOP BEST MCS IN HIP HOP RIGHT NOW. BUT ONLY ABOUT 3 OR 4 OF THE NAMES LISTED ARE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING ON THE ORIGINAL LIST.

  6. HawkmaticA says:

    There’s a couple a may sawp, like throwing Mos Def and Talib in there somewhere’s but not quite sure where. . .or just put them as a very close 11 and 12

  7. HawkmaticA says:

    Ya’ll are fucking stupid. Number 1, Lil Wayne has no business being on that list, as he isn’t even a real emcee.(Doesn’t write his own shit). Number 2, Eminem, clearly, is far and away the hottest emcee. Number 3, Anyone that thinks The Lame should be on this list if a fucking shit nugget and needs some sense bitch slapped into them. Number 4, Drake doesn’t even have a fucking album out LMFAO.

    Numbers 2 through 8 should be taken off the list completely. Kanye sucks, Wayne sucks, Gucci if fucking TERRIBLE, Jeezy is meh but in no way is in the top 10, Rick Ross? Are you fucking kidding me? Fabolous? WOW I really wanna know who the genius is that made this list.

    I don’t know what their criteria for “hottest emcee” is but if we were to make a list that doesn’t just include mainstream rappers and was based emcee skills of active rappers, a real list would look something like

    1. Eminem
    2. Tech N9ne
    3. Ludacris
    4. Immortal Technique
    5. Nas
    6. Jay-Z(even though I don’t even like Jay)
    7. T.I.
    8. Lupe Fiasco
    9. Llyod Banks
    10.Obie Trice

    T.I. is the best period. The realest with the best album seen in the last 4 years period. Paper trail kicked Carter 3′s Azz. Jay should be 3 with shady 2 and tip 1. Wow mtv has no idea. Because he’s in prison, whats that. His stuff is still hotter than that fake drake stuff. MTV is terrible Like Kanye I hate them
