Chamillionaire needs to be on that list.

"Chamillionaire needs to be on that list." What makes him hot right now? So who comes off the list for Chamillionaire? Jim Jones?  I can't see it.

Jay-Z or the Game can easily come off that list...DA undersold and there's going to be much less anticipation for Game's next album without the whole "will he work with or without Dre" appeal. Chamillionaire on the other hand has been droppin knowledge lately, is coming off a successful album, and I think he'll have one of the most anticipated releases. As for Jay-Z...sure kingdom Come went Plat..but it wasnt received well critically and the sales of the album were down compared to his previous releases, plus you can see him losing his fanbase a little. He's at the point in his career where we can expect to see a downard trend in album sales..and that doesnt constitute a "hot" MC.

Well I don't agree with that list!
But haing seen the attention Lil wayne & T.I get , it's no wonder they are listed there as the hottest rappers out there!
Which they are.
I'm not a big fan of both, but i have to look at it objectively, with what is happening currently in the hip hop game, them two aforementioned artsit are hot!

The Game, will it's nice to see him listed there!!

Repping the West!
I would have laighed if 50 was not incldued i there! I guess he is Hot cuz of perhaps his investment in that Deal,or becuase he has an album coming i don't know..Guess when his album dropps, we'll see if he really deserves that Spot!!

As for who i would like to be on that List??

mmm..Nah i'll pass on that!!

[Lunatic]

Yea, how Chamillionaire isn't on that list is beyond me

his last album outsold that of the game, common, jim jones, and maybe even jeezy

[Eddie G.]

I don't agree with that list at all.  Still don't see the hype about Wayne, Jim Jones is absolute trash, and even though Andre 3000 is a great MC, what has he dropped recently aside from a few guest appearances that would make him one of the hottest "in the game right now?"  What about Bun B and Pimp C?  Both of them absolutely deserve to be on that list.

considering MTV's track record for this type of thing, that's a great fucking list.

Hahaha..sad but very, very true. I was half-expecting Eminem on their list

I guess this is hard to measure. Because from what I read some of the responses view album sales as being hot. There is no problem with seeing it that way, but I don't think that it holds a lot of weight in terms of: skills (lyrics, word play, rhyme patterns, flow), swag (trendsetting, confidence, style, originality, believability). Lil Wayne put the Carter 2 in Dec of O5, his first CD without Mannie Fresh, and it was cool (I thought it woulda been better because he was forced to work with other producers). But he had momentum leading up to the that album because of the mixtapes. And he got a lot better after the album with more mixtapes and guest apperances. I agree with number 1. But spots 2-10 are anybody's guess. I still can't put Chamillionaire on the list I just don't think he is more relevant that the others.

Oh there is no question about that....I was making fun of MTV riding the mainstream crowd by still picking Eminem as a "hot" artist when he's been nowhere to be seen for a while.

I'm not a huge Eminem fan by any means....BUT Eminem from 98-03 could spit as well as anyone out right now....doesnt matter if he's white, black, or pink. I would never hate on the mans skills on the mic and I hate when people do.
