The fact that eminem sold the most records should no matter what make him on the list, Mtv said if it was back in may he would be on the list because his album came out and it would have been recent, well rick is on there and his album came out way earlier than ems, em even was on "forever" great song its a hit w/ ppl like drake wayne kanye - thats recent, it just doesnt make sense to not put him on the list and + they relied a lot on fan response for the 10 it just doesnt make any sense cause em prob had a lotta fan response they just didnt even consider him

WTF it is 422am in the morning where i am and i just got finished watching the so called Hottest MCs in the game and had to literally get up get out of bed to come complain with everyone else on the site. Where the HELL is Em at? Are you kidding me, that dude on the show had the nerve to cmopare Waynes verse to eminems on the forever song? Em tore up that song and ripped everyone on it, showed every guys true colors in ONE verse!! Ive never been more upset, im a JayZ fan the blueprint 3 is in my car right now but even i know em is the best rapper alive and def the hottest MC right now! Im pissed off and dissapointed in MTV and this stupid show and everyone on that panel were racist idiots!! Em will end anyones career and we all know the truth so its all good! Gucci mann at #6 and rick ross at #5 what the hell is this world coming too! Em is number 1 hoes, deal with it!!

That's an ignorant comment, JayZ wrote a letter to the heads of the list explaining why he thinks Em should be on the list and how the list has lost credibility by ranking artists like Gucci above Em. Lil Wayne wrote a letter to the same effect. As much as I love Gucci, I'm surprised he got the list before Em

i think Drakes overrated for one(Didn't he say he was better than Tupac and Biggie? R u Serious?). And Eminem should definitely be on this list considering he murked everyone on Forever. Drake, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West all got murked by Em. (Not to mention Em also murked Jay on Renegade... this might be an old reference but I think it's a legitimate reference when considering the people on the list) And how isn't that summer beef with Nick Cannon and Mariah not buzz worthy? The Warning is Em at his best...Em also won that Best Rapper EVER Vibe poll(beating out Tupac). I'm not an Eminem d***rider but I just think this list is garbage and i hope that whoever got snubbed in it murks the people that put it together...

emerald596 (10/10/2009 4:42:57 PM)

it said em had the most votes how come hes not here!?!?!

Sean (10/10/2009 2:54:09 AM)

em should have without a doubt at least been number #2 (if not #1), much less making top 10 in the the list, this is just MTV trying to save face after omitting one of the greatest artists ever to grace rap/hiphop, from album sales to ground breaking hits, all the artists on there are great but honestly, to say that you are judging from the "now" and "present" activities and name jay #1 cuz of ALL he has done throughout his career and his mile stones is whack losos way (awesome album barely scratched 100k sales and he made it, how long ago did kanye drop 808s, or did he make the list based on colabs? in short, in IMO em is #1 but after making such a ******** list, i dnt care what kind of list MTV wants to compile about anything anymore........ not even a mention for cudi, or asher roth and talking about current events

realrAp (10/8/2009 4:00:27 PM)

so funny how Em murdered each of those ******* on that "forever" song

DansDla4 (10/7/2009 11:01:05 PM)

First- Em does deserve 2 be onda list but most of you are exagerating saying that he should be #1, He did not have a buzz like that this year, Jay deserve 2 be #1. Second- I dont understand how jada aint make this list, His album was crazy, Plenty of mixtapes and with plenty of hood bangas. Third- How is gucci on this list, not only that how is he ranked higher than Fab. Fabs album was crazy. Nonstop airplay, all you hear is Fab right now, he should of been at least # 5. Last- whut happend to Kid Cudi, Wale, Joe Budden, and T.I.

Sean (10/7/2009 11:35:57 AM)

SO wtf!!! RICK ROSS makes the ******* list but eminem doesnt even crack the top 10! are u kidding me! im not even being partial im just saying what has "the boss" done lately i mean seriously i think Rick Ross should b out and eminem in. pisses me off

realrAp (10/7/2009 10:59:19 AM)

RELAPSE 2 CANT WAIT!!

realrAp (10/7/2009 10:56:59 AM)

Not only is it clear that MTV does not care what fans or the public think (they ignored their own poll where fans voted Eminem #1), but they are trying to stay relevant with the youth by voting rappers who don’t even an album out yet, to the top (Sorry Drake, we will be happy to take this back once you drop a debut album that does well). Oh and we forgot that Eminem also released his own video game (with Jay-Z), is headlining the Voo-Doo Festival and is currently working on his 2nd album in a year, Dr Dre's "Detox," 50 Cent's "Before I Self Destruct" and possibly signing Slaughterhouse. It Seems that MTV wants to USE Eminem to help their ratings, web hits, video plays and exposure but they aren't willing to give credit, where credit is do. Last year and the year before Eminem did not make the list either. We aren't saying that Eminem should always be #1 but maybe next year the most popular and biggest hip hop artist of all time could break their top ten.

MTV: No Longer A Music Authority Monday, 05 October 2009 | Written by Jason When I awoke this morning and saw MTV’s complete “Hottest MCs In The Game” list, I thought I found a misprint.... There was one name that was missing from the top ten... A guy named Eminem. MTV says the list is based on current achievements, rhyme skill, flow, buzz, impact, commercial success (sales, airplay, web presence, and helping to spawn other artist careers). So lets look at this closer shall we... 1. Achievements: Just this year, Eminem won “Best Hip Hop Video” at MTV’s Own Award Show. His “Relapse” album has gone over the Platinum status and he just happen to be the biggest artist in the world. 2. Rhyme Skill: Is there any question that Eminem is one of, if not the best rhyming rapper, period? On the new “Forever” track which features three artists in the top 5 Drake (#3), Lil Wayne (#2) and Kanye West (#4), Eminem clearly came with the most lyrical verse, even winning a fan poll over who had the best verse. 3. Influence: Not considering the face that Eminem is the most sot-after artist, but Lil Wayne himself has gone public many times practically begging Eminem to do a song with him oh and Eminem inducted Run-DMC into the Hall Of Fame. 4. Web Presence: Besides winning MTV’s own “Hottest MCs” Poll by far with over 38% of the votes (2nd place only had 18%), news stories, websites or any item containing Eminem’s name quickly becomes the number one trafficked item online. Let's not forget to mention that if you go to MTV.com, they list Eminem #6 on the "Hot Artists" list, but I guess that doesn't mean MCs. 5. Sales: That’s a Joke. Eminem is Hip Hop’s number one selling artist of all time, period. His new “Relapse” album went platinum easily in an environment where albums are considered great sellers if they go gold. 6. Buzz: Eminem’s “Relapse” album was by far the most anticipated album of 2009 and now his “Relapse 2” album is beyond the next most anticipated. Let's not forget that MTV itself used Eminem to boost ratings of their Movie Awards by staging a stunt with Bruno or getting him to do Shorts/Skits with Tracy Morgan for the recent Video Music Awards 7. Building Other Artists Careers: Really? Anyone ever heard of 50 Cent? G-Unit, D-12, Obie Trice etc. etc.

These MTV dude don't know ****...who gives?? It doesn't even matter what they say because they are just payed to make **** like wayne drake and kanye look good. Its all about the moneyyyyyy. Anyway, Eminem best ever

sil3ntm0s (10/7/2009 12:09:56 AM)

MTV sucks *** for that BS list. Rick Ross? Are you serious? The guy that beefed with 50 and lost? Rick Ross, who has sold 200,000( April 21-now) while Eminem has sold 1,500,000(May 19-now) to date.....are you SERIOUS? psh, get the f*** out of here MTV. You've lost all credibility.
