Kanye West Responds To Being #7 On MTV's Hottest MC's List


After years of controversy surrounding the choices for MTV's Hottest MCs list, it's no surprise that this year is no different.

With the lineup currently listing Meek Mill as #10, Future as #9, A$AP Rocky as #8, Big Sean at #6, and Drake at #5, people and rappers alike have already taken to Twitter and interviews to air their opinions on the rankings.

None were more vocal than Kanye West, however who uncharacteristically called into Angie Martinez's Hot 97 to speak with DJ Enuff about being listed as #7.

Listen below as Kanye lists of reasons why he should be a top contender, states Lil Wayne is his #1 emcee, calls out Sway for a lack of loyalty, only to hang up the phone on DJ Enuff in typical "drop the mic" fashion:


Hit the jump to catch Weezy and Sway's response to Ye's rant:



Does Kanye have a right to be angry over the list? Hit the comments and tell me what you think.

MTV Crowns Rick Ross As The #1 Hottest MC [VIDEO]


How did we even get here? After a week of controversial, and in my opinion, terrible selections, Rick Ross was crowned MTV's #1 Hottest MC in the game.  Last night on an MTV2 televised special, they announced the top 5, which included Drake at #2, Kanye West at #3, Nicki Minaj at #4 and Lil Wayne at #5.

I definitely respect Rick Ross and I think he deserves a top spot on the list, but I think that Kanye West should have been number 1. He brought back the weekly installment back to Hip Hop with Good Fridays, released an amazing album in My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and changed the game with Jay-Z on Watch The Throne.

Watch the "Brain Trust" debate between Drake and Rozay for the top spot, and hit the jump to view MTV's full list and deliberation for #3-5.

Drake Names His Picks For The Hottest MCs Of The Year [VIDEO]


I'm not sure if the list was completely fabricated or if MTV made a mistake, but the list that leaked of MTV's 2011 Hottest MC's doesn't seem to be correct. Thank God.

The official announcements dont begin online until Monday the 13th, but contenders on the list, like Drake, are quick to give their opinions. Watch below as Drizzy lays down his pics for Hottest MC and hit up the comments with your picks!
