I definielty see the problem with this whole "debate". The first thing the table need to do is nail down what definition of HOT they will apply to this discussion. Is it the charts, the country, hottest talent, most current buzz? They all make valid statments but are arguing different bottom lines.

cmonn drake at #3 when this is based on flow and lyrics.. this is a joke. jay-z, fabolouz and Raekwon are the only 3 that belong on this list... wtf happened 2 rap... GO LISTEN TO: Big l, Big pun, AZ, Nas, Cormega tell me how these rappers on the list even compare to the flow and lyrics of those listed here.. i dont care about what 9 ppl who have never sold an album have to say about the top mc's, have hip hop/ rap veterians to host this let them judge it. 2 people from ea. generation of hip-hop can all put their input in

Although my opinion may be a bit bias being that I'm in love with Jadakiss...I believe it's total BS that he didn't even make the list. He is by far one of the sickest, most talented, and HOTTEST MC's in the game. Perhaps not the most popular but if your going to rate an MC by the "hottness" of their lyrics...then he most definitely not only belongs on the list, but should also be in the top 5. Love you JP!!!! Jada Mhuah is sick wit it!!!!!

Ludacris is pure genious, not having him on the list at all is some crap.

I am mad as hell about this list. Soulja Boy should have been number 10 and TI should have been higher on this list. Who the hell cares if TI been in jail, he is one of the hottest rappers alive. I am not at all happy with this list. 50 cent shouldnt have been on the list at all this year. He album barely sold anything it was straight trash. This list is trash

To start things off first. I like all of the artists who made the list and have great respect for them. But there's one rapper who's not on the list that deserves to be there and that's Ludacris. The guy is a LYRICAL ASSASSIN, he has that southern flow along with that midwest touch along with it. I understand he hasn't really been out there alot on cameo and mixtapes like other rappers. He's busy making that actor $$$ too! I can't see how ya'll forgot about him. It seems like he doesn't get any respect. He didn't make it on the list last year when he should have (Release Therapy ppl!) besides being in the Honorable Mention list. Next year, I think ya'll should let the rappers and producers cast their vote as well.

First off you have Directors from XXL, and MTV and who knows where else they found these people.. What we need is people that were/are involved in the culture ex. legendary MCs and Graff Writers, True school B Boys or REAL DJS, NOT DIRECTORS AND CEOs that choose what is seen on MTV anyway.... I lost respect for SWAY for endorsing this, i thought he had his head on right.... ASK SWAY off the books and Crooked I would be on his top list.. WHat About IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE??? MTV aint tryin to promote Revolution...... NONE OF THESE "JUDGES" are credible to me..... Look in the streets... but then again the streets dont tune in to MTV.. I had to come up from the subterrain to write this message....

Blahhh (6/12/2008 1:02:48 AM)

And I Don't Think T.I. Should've Been Under 3000. That's Just Unthinkable If I Heard Something Maybe I'll Change My Mind Soulja Boy Has Good Songs.

Blahhh (6/12/2008 1:00:38 AM)

This list is dumb. I'm not saying Soulja Boy hot but based off the definition of success, swagger, impact, flow, and lyrics yea Soulja Boy dosen't have lyrics but he is NOT a fad. He has success, swag, impact, and his flow is what got him where he is now! T.I and Andre 3000 wtf? I just don't understand they don't have ****. I haven't heard anything from them if they going off success what have they put out? People like Busta, Fat Joe, The Game why haven't people I have actually heard something from been considered??

IgotthishereLISTEN (6/8/2008 5:10:14 PM)

LISTEN This needs to be REDONE Tuesday June 10th AFTER you hear Tha Carter III Which I have heard and all of you should have by now... Forget calling Styles P the Zero Rapper cuz it's Wayne, he should be above Number 1 you people can't get it together enough to hear his mixtapes? Those alone put Lil Wayne at Number 1. But this list is fake and everybody knows it Wayne Kanye Jay-z 50 Rick Ross

jcl2222 (6/3/2008 3:14:13 PM)

jcl2222 (6/3/2008 3:12:21 PM)

SVENCOUCNIL (5/28/2008 1:04:39 PM)

lil weezy should have been number one the kanya then rick ross the lupe then jay-z i dont know y they got people who aint even in the rap game judging this they should have actual mc and not people who favor one person because they grow up listen to him hint jay-z he should have been number five

notoriousmc (5/28/2008 12:31:32 PM)

whats wrong with these people. Soulja is whack. One hit wonder with a bs fruity loops produced song. A SAMPLED song too. This dude is whack. How can you even compare him to someone like T.I. Fire everyone sittin in that circle right now.

actionbastard (5/20/2008 1:17:33 AM)

soulja boy is good an terrible he made a dance move that lil kids loved and kids at school dances enjoyed but lyrically he is comedy no real cometition

va.... (5/19/2008 11:36:20 AM)

Fans r really passionate about Wayne and Souja presence on the list. WOW! Seriously, u have 2 show respect 2 them for their grindin. Nobody has moved around like these two. And consequently, Souja and Wayne r similiar--Hold On--the only difference is in rhymin styles-Wayne is lyrical--Souja is just da opposite--Think about it! They both are out there. I think MTV made a big mistake by not puting Souja on the list-- u may have alienated many fans with that move. And what about UGK--they hit real hard last year with Underground Kings-Hmmmm! Just a thought! Knowledge is Power--VA!
