Cause I’m At The End Of My Wits With Half This Sh!t That Gets In...

So a few days ago, MTV did their annual Hottest MC's [pause] special. Their top 10 was okay, but kinda iffy: Gucci Mane? Rick Ross?. I know it's hard to make a list so I won't hate. But Gucci Mane!? lol. I know he's on like every song, but still. I dislike his music; personally think it's just weakk...

If you have Raekwon present on the list, why not other lyrical rappers who released albums this year with decent buzz, like; Mos Def, Meth/Red, Joey/Joel/Nickle/Crook, Eminem, Cudi???

Obviously I'll give a list of my own on the bases of hot = recent buzz, lyrical, push boundaries, mainstream appeal...

10) KiD CuDi: not an 'MC' per-say, not super lyrical per-say, but who can mess with the music and innovation he puts into his music. I'll label it hip-hop because it is hip-hop. Hip Hop is innovation and evolution, and he brings that.

9) Raekwon: sequel-ed a classic this year and brought back the Wu rawness in one of the best albums of the year.

8) Mos Def: The Ecstatic was solid Mos. Not a lot of mainstream buzz, but he's on his form--don't sleep!

7) Fabolous: released the most 'successful' album of his career to date, and is still one of the most underrated.

6) Lil' Wayne: no album, but pumping out features with higher credibility then most of the game.

5) Joe Budden (+ Slaughterhouse): supergroup uprise + decent Padded Room+ 1/4 of the most lyrically mind-blowing album of the year

4) Eminem: made a comeback from drug addiction and released one of the rawest, most honest and lyrical albums of the year--no one can touch his flow. Close 3rd.

3) Kanye West: a bunch of singles this year from 808's, and his features are pretty on point.

2) Drake: most buzzed rapper in a long while (Snoop/50), every track he released is accepted in the mainstream, and as well by hip hoppers. His lyrical game is just right to be accepted and he can still go raw when he wants to [pause].

(Personally, listening to more Drizzy, I'm starting to feel the word 'overrated' MILDLY approaching just a tadddd--*gasp* *cast stones*. Maybe it's the mainstream love that he gets by everyone? Fear was ill though, we need an album to accompany all this buzz Jimmy!)

1) Jay-Z: self-explanatory. Most buzzed album of the year. Most looked-up to. Not the most lyrical this year, but still has a hard flow. Most well-known. He's like a president in hip hop.

Strictly IMO, everybodies got an opinion.

I'm out like Eminem from MTV's 10...
