MTV's 2012 Hottest MCs In The Game

Debate on the Top 2 Spots

Each year, a group of MTV panelists sit down to discuss who they think the hottest MC in the game is and each year the final list of top ten candidates are scrutinized by just about everybody. While the list doesn't always necessarily contain the most talented artists out there, they certainly do a great job of ranking the "hottest" artists. Which I guess is what it's all about, right? After all, this may be the only list we'll ever see again where the names Jay-Z and Meek Mill are placed right next to each other. This year the crown when to Maybach Music Group leader Ricky Ross. "M-M-M-Maybach Music". Need I say more?

If you thought you were sick of 'Rollin' in the Deep' already, just wait...

The Grammys is the epitomy of music. And what would we be if we didn't do our own review right here on BTH?....a crappy site is what we'd be.

Killed it: Adele, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, Country Music in general, anyone playing a Whitney Houston drinking game (too soon?), Nicki Minaj (hate to say it).

Another Night at the office: Chris Brown, Cold Play, Maroon Five, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen

Give it a Rest: Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys (total age approx. 1,000 years)

Lil Wayne - Mirror ft. Bruno Mars [Video]

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the track itself, but this bonus cut, featuring Bruno Mars, from Wayne's Carter IV album gets a pretty cool set of visuals. What was everyone's opinion on that album anyway?

Ke$ha - Sleazy 2.0 ft. Wiz Khalifa, Andre 3000, T.I., & Lil Wayne [Video]

Uhhh, what? The video for this mega-mix gets a whole lot sleazier then the track originally was with various characters playing the roles of the artists. Vote for Pedro!

Tyga - Faded ft. Lil Wayne

After years of being completely anti-Tyga, I'm kinda starting to feel the "strip club anthem" niche that he's found for his music. Maybe it's just the videos that he's putting out or the catchy hooks that go along with that type of music, but you can certainly see him making more of mainstream push with this new style.

Drake - The Motto ft. Lil Wayne & Tyga [Video]

To celebrate the holiday season, I'm off to a "Ugly Sweater" Xmas fiesta at P-Willi's. YOLO right?! Geez, I hate that saying. One of my friends has been saying it for four years and now it has finally become popular because Drake said it...

Birdman - Y.U. Mad ft. Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne [Video]

Young Money may represent nearly all that is wrong with hip-hop today, but they sure do know how to make tracks that the kids enjoy. Even though their anti-progressive subject matter eats me up inside when I hear it, they hide it so damn well behind dope beats and catchy as hell hooks. So, yeah, that's why I'm mad. Anyway, enjoy this new single from Birdman's upcoming Bigga Than Life album, if you're into that kinda thing.

Lil Wayne Introduces Newest Young Money Artist [Video]

World, say hello to the new Chris Brown. This 14-year-old singer/dancer goes by the name of Torion and he is the newest member of the Young Money family. Check out this video for a glimpse of some of his talents and watch as his dances on Wayne's command. *sigh* He's already a corporate puppet at his young age.

T-Pain - Bang Bang Pow Pow ft. Lil Wayne

Remember back when these two on a track together meant nothing could go wrong? Damn, what happened to those days. This track will be featured on T-Pain's rEVOLVEr.

Another week, another leak from Drake's sophomore album. Aubrey links up with Wayne for this one and slows it down quite a bit. Take Care drops November 15th.

Curren$y - G'd Up ft. Lil Wayne & Mack Maine

Some more unreleased Spitta and Weezy back from Curren$y's Cash Money days. Glad to see that these two squashed the beef enough to at least release this music.

Weezy F Baby Public Service Announcement [Video]

Decided to finally post up this infamous Lil Wayne PSA that everyone's been talking about lately. It may seem like a ramble, but the man's got some serious words to say for those of you that can listen to him speak for nearly half an hour straight.

B.o.B - Strange Clouds ft. Lil Wayne

After a short preview, here's the new smash from Bobby Ray featuring Lil Wayne that's presumably gonna be the first single off B.o.B's sophomore album.

B.o.B - Strange Clouds ft. Lil Wayne (Preview) [Video]

This seriously sounds like it's gonna be a banger. Full record drops October 3rd.
