Let the uproar begin…
Why He’s Hot: It’s been in the air for a couple of years now. Gucci Mane’s name has been bubbling — no, boiling over — in the underground scene, and he’s been inching his way closer and closer to cracking into the top 10 Hottest MCs in the Game since ‘07. The Gucc didn’t just break through this year; he’s been able to leapfrog all the to way to the middle of the pack by having a cult following of pavement dwellers in the ‘hood and charming Middle America with a gold-tooth grin and a gaggle of guest spots on high-charting pop hits.
In all his flamboyant splendor, Gucci has accrued a die-hard core following that devours everything he puts out with extreme delight. The mode of attack for La Flare — as he calls himself — has been spending sleepless nights in the studio recording literally hundreds of records. As soon as a song is done — or a hefty amount of them, anyway — he puts it out. Gucc has almost replaced Lil Wayne as the street-CD poster child.
The Atlanta native will never get spoken about in the conversation of great wordsmiths, like a Royce Da 5′9″ or a Jadakiss. His subject matter is great, but his wordplay is sometimes criticized for being elementary. So if it isn’t his rhyme schemes that have been winning him new fans and accolades and keeping his core satisfied, what is it? Simply put, Gucci is a character.
The best part? His “co-signer” is Mariah Carey. I can’t deny Gucci being on this list though. Despite my distaste for his music, he’s been “hot”. And if ya’ll doubt that… you haterz got him wrong haha.
PREVIOUS: #7: Young Jeezy | #8: Fabolous | #9: 50 Cent | #10: Raekwon
why dont they just call it whos hot right now list
i lol’d at the co-sign… she actually compared Gucci to ODB
“why dont they just call it whos hot right now list”
thats basically what it is. they do it every year so its obvious they mean for that year who is “hot”
i agree with gucci being pretty high. i couldnt go a day without someone trying to “put me on” to his music.
i think we can all agree on one thing…
These mawfuckers don’t know hip-hop from a hole in the wall
again.. it ain’t that he the best rapper.. they even say that when speaking on jada and royce. gucci is jus hot. the dude makin big moves in the game right now (features, music videos, mixtapes). i mean he hot. he’ll never be a great lyricist but dude is hot.
i mean the sun is hot as fuck, it don’t mean i like it. but god damn that shit is hot
dahhhhhh whattt? *lemon face*
I cant even type as quickly as I want because this shit is fuckin stupid. It’s best RAPPER, not swagger, business man, internet thug etc…. If you have a best CHEF contest, would you measure the chef on cooking? Yes. Would you measure them on how they spent their money? Or how well the shopped? Or how many websites they have? NO FUCKIN WAY! Start measuring these fags on lyrics. DONE
hey shake have u seen this clip of HOV filming the video to “empire state of mind”…
it looks dope as hell…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gQSqo4D_5w&feature=player_embedded#
^^ive seen it. THAT clip looks hot? jay-z sitting down is hot now? haha
sky better be on this mtv list hes easily best in the game right now
we all know the top 4 will be some variation of jay-z, eminem, kanye and drake… MTV is a retarded media outlet though (IMO).
knowing this mtv groups history, its gonna be Drake #1, Jay-Z #2, prolly Wayne #3. Time to do a different format.
-”I cant even type as quickly as”
at the start of #10 Raekwon clip they tell u how they grade them, not only by lyrics.
The title = HOTTEST MC in the game. NOT BEST Rapper. You can’t get mad at this list cuz it is what it is. So somewhere, somebody with some kinda platform should be countering this one with the BEST RAPPER in the game list based on lyricism, flow, skills, etc.
i was waitin for him to show up on this list sooner or later
Ur stupid if u take this list seriously. First we need to kill off all these bichazzniguhz n these punk ass gangs. Then kill the cops. THEN KILL WACK RAPPERS THAT IDIOTS CONFUSE 4 MC’s!!!!!!!!!
I just shit my pants… you have to be fucking kidding me. This is everything wrong with America today. wooooooooooooooooooow not in a good way… zero credibility
the whole video I was laughing my ass off cause the “list” has gotten worse and worse as it progressed now even Gucci is number 6 cause he HOT off of 2 or 3 songs why is 50 so low I aint saying 50 a lyrical genius but everything they at the table said tells me he should be higher than Gucci and even Fabolous
Gucci Gucci. If we’re putting Gucci at number seven, I better see O.J. at #6…..Aye! Aye!
I MISS THE REAL MTV RAPS AND CHRIS THE MAYOR RAP CITY THIS NEW SHIT WITH GROWN MEN WEARING COLORFUL CLOTHING DRESSING LIKE THEY 18 IS LOOKING DUMB FUCK EVERYBODY THAT KILLED REAL AND SALUTE THE NIGGAS THAT STAYED IN THEY LANE AND KEPT THE HOPE IN ME
he belongs on the list but he sucks i my opinion. but tha south loves him (im 4rm tha south)
Coochie Coochie. Grrrrrr.
just call it hottest rappers….because for some reason seeing MC in the title makes people assume lyricism is something that factors into this list where its obvious its not…and fuck outta here with that bullshit panel of “experts” and co-signers…im glad im not watching this shit on mtv jams
while the list is getting worse lets put the game, rick ross, fat joe, nas and soulja boi in the remaining spaces
MTV is trying to kill hip hop. “Hottest MC” – Get the fuck outta here.
the worlds comin to an end
MTV can suck a cock
its the ” Hottest MC” not most ” Lyrical MC” you can’t deny Gucci’s buzz has been big this year. I swear hip hop fans are sooo fucking sensitive it’s ridiculous.
at least we all know joe budden has gotta be top 5……RIGHTTT????
i wonder if this gucci dude would be as hot as he is without those zaytoven beats
GUCCI #6 GOOD JOB HERE I DON’T LIKE THE MEN MUSIC BUT THE BUZZ IS THERE RIGHT NOW, NOT LIKE JEEZY AND 50 CENT, JEEZY WAS HOT IN LATER 08, 50 CENT ONLY WORK IS 2 MIX TAPE
PEOPLE STILL DON’T KNOW THIS IS HOTTERS RAPPER RIGHT NOW WHO EVER IS HOT IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS, BET SOME PEOPLE GOING TO SAY LUPE,NAS, RAKIM SHOULD BE ON THE LIST WITH NO MUSIC,NEWZ OR BUZZ FROM THEN IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS
how in the FUCK is this man hotter then the previous 4… seriously! mtv YOU FUCKIN SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry but ugly mane doesn’t even count as an “mc” he is a nursery rhymer with a hideous face, grill, and some of the most basic, shittiest lyrics ever known to man. “Shorty said I’m fired, I’m no longer hired” — really?!!!! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKING UGLY TARBALL!!!
they should take out the “MC” part of the title if there going to put scrubs.
WHAT THE FUCK
MTV IS A JOKE
People are wasting their time flaming MTV for this. I told yall yesterday that they let the listeners vote. Check yourselves.
This slave negro is as hot as Satan’s shit on a summer day in hell. He’s not a fucking emcee. Do these niggaz at MTV even know the definition of emcee? This slave negro is a rapper, if that even.
Why is it so hard to understand the list is base on rappers the are hot right now he you have a good buzz you on the list gucci mane in the last 9 months 150 songs all on he’s mix tape and other dj mixtape 150 song that more music the 50 cent, jeezy, fab nad reakwon,
HOTTERS RAPPERS RIGHT NOW why is that so hard to UNDERSTAND nas, rakim, krs-one, scarface, andre 3000, t.i, luda are all great mcs but they are not hotter right hell they don’t have any work right now
This is pretty much MTV’s “Who’s DIck are we riding this year” list. I don’t agree to the list because it contradicts itself…Reakwon is a Hot lyricist but wasn’t really HOT this year..true he dropped a good album but he wasn’t crazy buzzing everywhere and neither was 50. And where does T.I fit in???? He was all over the place this year. I knw drake, kanye, eminem, weezy and Jay will be top 5. Cmon MTV if you gonna do a list do it the right way..on ALBUMS and lyricism
@ IOU
It don’t matter if Gucci does all that shit right now. He still garbage. That’s like people saying Wayne’s the best rapper alive just cause he says the shit Smfh…..I rather take the previous work that all those people you’ve mentioned did before I start listening to Gucci. At the end of the day, the list is hottest MC, not hottest piece of shit mixed with MCs. Gucci belongs in another list but according to dumbed down listeners, he’s the #6 hottest MC Smfh…..
http://screwheadsonly.blogspot.com
Like him or not, Gucci’s elementary rhyming ass is still one of the hottest out. Deal wit it and quit crying. Don’t like him? Don’t listen and keep it movin.
yall internet cats is wildin. is yall that dense you can’t comprehend the title? folk it say HOTTEST MC in the game. HOTTEST equates to how often you hearin them on the radio, how many spins they gettin on BET/MTV how often they talked about, AKA they buzz. it ain’t no gucci more lyrical than RAE. thats bull shit. but gucci damn sure hotter than rae. you know in the real world no on yo lil computer bull shit.
I’s about the hottest MC, cucci mane in NOT a MC. And if you say he is you have no business commenting on hip hop. Fuck off.
cudi hella has to be on the list
fuck mtv and that whole table there is a difference between rapper and mc joe budden should have made the list on some real shit no matter what you think of him or slaughterhouse as a group now top 5 gone be wayne drake kanye em and jay
How The Fuck Does He Beat Jeezy & Them, If Anything He Should Be 10 At Highist If That SMH
50 cent vs Kid Cudi in 2009
Kid Cudi
2 mix tapes
1 album
4 bet nominees
was in the mtv vma
Day n nite video- 20 million views (in 2009)
50 cent
2 mixtape
0 albums
0 bet nomines
was not on the mtv vma
ok ok video- 3 million video (in 2009)
now tell me why is 50 cent on the list??
cuz niggas like you bring him up when he not even the topic of discussion..
^^^
Kid Cudi doesn’t even rap
this shit is all politics if i see a indie artists on this list then ill be suprised im sure these major labels are pulling some strings behind the scenes but it is what it is everyone is not on the computer checking music blogs everyone doesnt have an ipod/zune/mp3 players they go by whats on the radio and tv.
HERE IS THE TOP 5 HOTTERS IN 2009
1) Jay-Z
Fabolous
2) Eminem
3) Drake
4) Lil Wayne
5) Kayne West
6) Gucci Mane
7) Young Jeezy***
9) 50 Cent***
10) Reakwon
*** Shouldn’t Not Be On The List
……”yall internet cats is wildin. is yall that dense you can’t comprehend the title? folk it say HOTTEST MC in the game. HOTTEST equates to how often you hearin them on the radio, how many spins they gettin on BET/MTV how often they talked about, AKA they buzz. it ain’t no gucci more lyrical than RAE. thats bull shit. but gucci damn sure hotter than rae. you know in the real world no on yo lil computer bull shit.”…. If that’s the case Rae shdnt be on that list, I sure don’t here Raekwon records on heavy rotation on radio down south. Bullshit the want to make it about lyricism but can’t cus they have dicks to suck. And if Drake is in there, kid cudi definately needs to bee there…and yes he shd be considered an mcee if gucci is. END OF STORY!
cudi a fuckin singer. that nigga sing. he had a solid album for wat it was but it wasnt a rap album.
^ Agree, I didn’t see MotM as a Rap album.
FYI, this shit is wack now. they can’t rebound with this.
Yeah Cudi is not a rapper.
Sorry…
Specially when 85% of ALL your song content has to do with you harmonizing..
I actually thought Gucci would be higher,he has been hitting the streets so hard !!!
and now hes attacking mainstream
Relly Gucci in front of Jezzy ?
Fuck that i was gana ask someone to shoot me nvm ill do it myself
Hsuahsuhauaha Hes in front od loso and Chef LOLLLL
Its Mtv what you guys want ?
SEEING THIS MTV FUCKERY MAKES (AND MAYBE EVEN PROVES) NAS LOOK LIKE A PROPHET WHEN HE STARTED THE WHOLE “HIP-HOP IS DEAD” THEME!
I QUIT THIS HIPHOP/MUSIC IF THIS IS WHAT OUR BAR OF TALENT IS! THIS MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND LOSE FAITH AND DESPISE HIPHOP ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I LITERALLY FEEL LIKE I LOST A RELATIVE WHEN I SAW THIS. THIS IS SICKENING. OMG!… NEVERTHELESS THANK GOODNESS THERE ARE GOOD HIPHOP MC’S STILL AROUND, BUT NOT ENOUGH!
I can’t deny the “hotness” of Gucci Maine but clearly everyone at MTV has forgot what an MC actually is.
LET’S BE REAL. This list is the about the 10 hottest emcees. How can I take this seriously when you have “Gucci Man” being co-signed by an R’n'B singer? GTFOH! Who cares what Mariah Carey approves. We’re talking hiphop and emcees. It’s official, MTV just lost all credibility…
how in the world gucci higher than fab and jeezy?? that shits just crazy…
The sad thing was that you couldn’t even vote for Lupe to be on that list. His name wasn’t on it Smfh…..
gucci is hot and I can’t deny that. everty kid in my school expect myself bums this guy. I’m not mad at him either. niggas talking about true hip hop and shit must not realize that people don’t give a fuck about lyrics anymore. they want music that yanks in the system and ladies want something to shake their ass to. I’m not saying it’s right, but that is reality. I can listen to gucci when I’m with someone else and some of his “beats” do go in. people just need to stop getting mad that people actually love this guy. let people listen to what they want. to each their own.
yeah if hes so hot then cudi and drake would be up on this list too.but that aint happening, lil wayne, kanye, jay-z, and eminem are top 4.number 5 is a toss up of t.i. and drake
LOLLlL
REMEMBER THAT VIDEO OF THE WHITE BRODS SAYING THEYD LET GUCCI HIT IT RAW?…
NOW WE ALL KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED
THATS THE FORMULA.
since when does MTV know anything about music?
That bitch compared him to ODB…oh my god. No matter how “Hot” he is, dude is still trash. And as for being “real” the dude was a computer designer in college till he got thrown out for drug possession. When he was locked up he got hit in the face with a brick, and we all know he probably got ass raped too.
Nas? Lupe? T.I.? ODB? You People Do Kwon Is Hotter In 2009 Right, I don’t know what jeezy and 50 cent are doing in these list?????
WAT DA F*KKKKKKKKKKKK is wrong wit mtv…omg…he is da definition of garbage
cosign the dude who said that this is still a list of MCS…..i can put out 35 mixtapes but if they all trash will i get on this list…..thats what most people are sayin when they dont wanna see gucci on this list….no one is denying his quantity of material..its just the quality that sucks…real bad
If buddens aint on this fuckin list then you cant even claim its hottest now….dude had 2 eps this year plus a solo album and the slaughterhouse jumpoff….shit was all wellll above average material
rofl how do u come up with ODB nigga bin passed for 6 yrs that aint hot
these niggas don’t know nuffin bout hiphop /// where the real niggas at..
Who cares, Mtv has no authority to declare anything. PEACE
Gucci Mane Songs To Hit The Mixtape Circuit This Year: Around 150
5 solo mixtape, feature in 40 mixtape in the last 9 months that more music the nas, 50cent, jeezy, reakwon, fabolous, t.i all together in 2009 and you people talking baout he should not be over who?? young who??
Key Guest Appearances (All In The Last 9 Months): Mariah Carey’s “Obsessed” remix, Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow” remix, Trey Songz’s “LOL
” (also featuring Soulja Boy Tell’em), Soulja Boy Tell’em’s “Gucci Bandana” (also featuring Shawty Lo), Mario’s “Break Up” (also featuring Sean Garrett), OJ Da Juiceman’s “Make the Trap Say Aye,” DJ Drama’s “Ridiculous,” Busta Rhymes’ “Hustla’s Anthem” remix, Omarion’s “I Get It In”
Although (obviously) not lyrical… he is the definition of the ATL streets. He runs shit in Atlanta. SO ICEY ENT all fuckin day. Most people don’t even know his good shit like “Pillz,” “Pyrex Pot,” “16 Fever,” “Trap House”… could go on all day. If you don’t like him, just don’t listen. ‘Nuff said.
how about all the niggas bitching about this list make their own damn list and give it to MTV. the mainstream people don’t give a fuck so get over yourselves.
1259 said it the best. i mean gucci went from a career of underground mixtapes after his fallout wit jeezy to doin songs wit big name artists being on mtv and having a mixtape series wit DJ drama. i mean who the FUCK else besides gucci mane can name a mixtape The Movie 2: The Sequel. i mean what the fuck?? gucci not lyrical he’ll never be. but he hot as fuck
@ P’cola
But his material is garbage though. You’re contradicting yourself saying he’s not lyrical but hot as fuck. It don’t matter of his quantity. The quality is what is being presented. If not then I need to make a bunch of bullshit songs and mixtapes so I can get on that list too.
I wanna how Nas never makes the list in any year!! He’s been featured like crazy (On Jada, Jeezy, Ross, and Luda’s albums to name a few) and he dropped a classic (The Nigger Album).
I would rather shoot myself in both feet in the middle of nowhere and crawl home than listen to this nigga. I don’t care if he’s one of the hottest in the game, he shouldn’t even be listened to in the first place to get there!
Call it hating if you will but when this man is “hotter” than people like Elzhi, Royce, Rae and others it just goes to show Hip Hop is on it’s last dying legs in terms of audience recognition.
I love how people try to justify this fuckery. So amusing. Shows what kind of taste they have in music.
yall need to get over it.
^^ lol, unlike some i actually care about hip hop, can’t get over it.
I SEE IS STILL HARD FOR YOU PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN HOTTER RAPPERS AND THE BEST RAPPERS OK HERE IT IS..
BEST RAPPERS
NAS, JAY-Z, 2PAC, BIG, RAKIM, ICE CUBE, T.I, LUDA, SCARFACE. ANDRE 3000, REAKWON, JOE BUDDEN, ROYCE, ELZHI, ECT
NOW ALL THE RAPPER I JUST NAME ^^^^ DO ANY OF THEN HAVE 150 SONGS (BASE ON FREESTYLE, FEATS, REMIXS, ALL FULL SONGS) IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS OF HIP HOP??
GUCCI MANE HADS 150 JOINT IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS.. WHEN MTV MAKE THE BEST MC’S LIST THAT A DIFFERENT STORY THIS IS HOTTER RIGHT NOW, HOTTER RIGHT NOW
JEEZY- 1 MIX TAPE IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS??
50 CENT- 2 MIX TAPE IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS??
YET YOU GUY ARE NOT SAYING ANY THING ABOUT THEN BE IN THE HOTTERS OF 09 WITH SO LITTLE WORK????
marlymarr, im saying, get over the fact that this MTV special will NEVER recognize who has been the best emcee over the past year. This is who the HOTTEST is, meaning who has the most buzz, meaning whose label has paid the most people off to keep these wack muthafuckas in rotation. It’s like a popularity contest. I use to get mad, but I get it, it’s a game so I dont really care anymore. Honestly, Gucci and Drake should be numbers 1 and 2 if we’re using MTV’s criteria. If it was up to me, Slaughterhouse would be the top 4, followed by Nas, Lupe, Tech, Skyzoo, Wale, etc…
^^^ what have nas, lup and tech done in the last 6-9 months for you to have then as hotter right now???
Hotter Right Now
1) Jay-Z – BP3 first week 450k sold, 2nd week 300k sold + Oprah + Mtv AVM + Beef W/ The Game

wat thse stupid mothafuckers that are defendin this retard, and use that word cuz i literally think somethin is wrong with dude, is that it says MC. it doesnt say fuckin RAPPER. when you put MC in the title people will think youre talkin bout people with lyrial ability or any lyrical ability…at all. i thought mtv was gonna choose the latter, well cuz its mtv. but they chose cucci… i mean WTF. i heard that track thats linked nd its just like he talked on the track. isnt a big mothafuckin component of rap is rhymin? and if your talkin bout an MC thats fuckin mandatory. guy actully didnt tried to fuckin rhyme when he is a so called rapper. BLAHAHAHAHHA (MC is a title dude can never earn)
guess what im tryin to say is that the fuss bout this clown and this clown ass network is that it has MC in the fuckin title which lead ppl to believe there was gonna be dudes on here with talent. and everyone is right. get over it.how you gonna talk a station seriously who has a show bout some random ass rich white girls that do nothin but bitch bout their good ass life. wish some random ass bitch would run up on them and just knock one of those whiny hoes out take all their shit. that would be fuckin great.
o and all you mothafuckers from the south dont have to like the mothafucker if hes from the south. theres some talentedppl out there to you kno. jus cuz some random ass dude come from the south dont mean you gotta gargle his balls in your mouth. FUCK, LEARN TO FUCKIN LISTEN CUZ THIS DUDE IS GARBAGE.
