News Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Drake Celebrate Their Hottest MCs Rankings

I Got It MADE · 10-08-2009, 04:28 PM

From Drake to Diddy to New York Governor David Paterson, there has been high praise for Jay-Z being named MTV News' 2009 Hottest MC in the Game.

Jay wrote a letter to MTV News, reacting to his latest accolade of Hottest MC in the Game.

"MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation," Jay wrote. "Although I don't strive to be 'hot' for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term 'best rapper alive' as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I've allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that's why I continue to push myself until exhaustion ... salute.

"Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may ... Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don't thoroughly explain his omission," Jay continued. "As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best 'posse' cut of the year . (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift ... and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)"

(Editor's note: Eminem's absence from the Top 10 is explained right here.)

Rick Ross, who finished at #5, said no one is more deserving of the top spot than Jay.

"I most definitely agree with Jay-Z being the Hottest MC," Ross said. "He's affected the top five directly or indirectly. He signed Kanye West. He signed me to Def Jam. He influenced Lil Wayne and co-signed Drake. Jay most definitely has had the biggest impact on the game and the culture."

Ross was extremely pleased with his own ranking. "It's an honor to be in the top five," he said. "It's a monumental moment. I remember always watching 'Yo! MTV Raps' and seeing Fab Five Freddy. The Hottest MCs list carries on in the tradition of representing real hip-hop. I think the list was great. Everybody on there is real competitive. It's always great to get recognized for your accomplishments. Each year, I sit down and watch the debates and the rankings. MTV is really on point."

On Sunday, Drake said being #3 was an extreme honor. "I'm at such an early stage in my career," Drizzy said via phone. "I'm still learning from all these MCs that are on the list. Personally, I'm honored to be anywhere. There's no number where I think I should be. I'm not gonna sit here and be like '3!' It's just an honor for MTV to even bring up my name. That's crazy. That's really crazy, man. That's something to celebrate. We gotta celebrate tonight. I don't mind being #3."

Raekwon the Chef, 50 Cent, Fabolous, Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Kanye West and Lil Wayne round out this year's Hottest MCs in the Game list.

Even Jay said its bullshit that Em aint on the list. But its clear the only reason why Jay is number 1 is cause of the timing of the list, his album, had the list dropped 2 months ago, would Jay be 1? But since he just dropped his album, compared to everyone else, Rae isnt big enough, Fifty no album, Ross dropped long time ago, Gucci/Jeezy no albums, Kanye hsant dropped in a long time, Drake has a mixtape that came out in Feb, no album, Wayne hasnt dropped in over a year, so Jay is the only one on the list with an album that just came out, other than Rae, but Rae isnt in Jays league popularity wise, thats why Jay is at the top, cause of timing, but it is what it is.

What makse MTVs response a joke is what are you just taking it by whose hot this month? I would assume its this year, I mean Ross album dropped long ago, tell me what he has done since then? Honestly? I havent heard him on shit, atleast Em was on the biggest posse record of the year and killed it, MTV fucked up, and there response is even worse.
