ONCE again MTV is looking for the 10 Hottest MC's of the year. As you recall last year's list left more than a few sensative thugs with their feelings hurt."To the people of 2007 for leaving me off the list: F--- y'all," Snoop Dogg said after an MTV News interview in February.
50 Cent, who made the list, was probably the artist most vocally displeased with his placement. "[Wayne's] #1 and I'm #8? And I got a CD going on sale. F--- MTV," 50 said last year during an interview on Sirius Satellite Radio.
Jay-Z went on the radio and told the masses that since he was already crowned Greatest MC of All Time by the Brain Trust (which still stands), he shouldn't be compared to some of the newer flamethrowers such as T.I. and Wayne.
And Lupe Fiasco was so hurt by not even getting an honorable mention that he told us he doesn't even want to be considered for the new list.
"I was looking like, 'Yo, I ain't make the top 10, I could understand that, because I was, like, in between albums," said Fiasco, who admitted that our 2007 top 10 was "dead on." "Then I wasn't on the 'Honorable Mention' list. Then there's was a ['Future Shock Four' below] that list, and I wasn't on that either. Hold on, hold on — nothing? F---!
"It's love — I still got love, love, 100-, thousand-percent love for MTV," he clarified, "but I want nothing to do with the [2008] list. I don't even care! How about that? I don't even care that I am not on the list! I've been the underdog my whole career. I always been in the shadow of this dude, or I been over here. I've always been underdog."
In fact the ONLY ONE not complining was the cat who claimed the top prize, Weezy himself. But with a highly-anticipated album out, a number 1 single and what seems like his magical gift to make errbody else's song hot; will that make Lil Wayne a shoe in for a repeat title? Not necessarily.
The 2008 version of "Hottest MCs in the Game" airs Friday, May 16, on MTV at 10 p.m — and you can also hit MTVNews.com directly once the program is over to read more in depth about the Brain Trust's choices.
