The top ten best MC's in Rap right now, according to the MTV staff are:
10. Jim Jones
9. Common
8. 50 Cent
7. Jay-Z
6. Young Jeezy
5. Kanye West
4. Andre 3000
3. The Game
2. T.I.
1. Lil' Wayne
-They judged the list on different things like album sales, style, swagger, lyrical skills, etc.
-Jim Jones beat out Nas for the 10 spot
-Despite not putting out an album of his own and focusing more on his projects outside of Rap, MTV said Andre 3000 get's on the list from all the guest spots and remixes he's done lately. They said "he unquestionably murders every track he's been on"
-Jeezy is apparently the new Tupac and/or DMX
-Lil' Wayne, despite not moving any big number of units, is on top because he's lyrically better than anyone else out right now, according to MTV. His new mixtape is "a masterpiece"
-Some of the staff tried getting Kanye moved ahead of Andre, but the majority won in favor of Andre
-Some of the staff also tried to get The Game moved out of the top five, but again, majority won.
-50 Cent barely made the countdown they said, his new single "I Get Money" got him on
That's all I remember. Thoughts?
