HOTTEST MC IN THE GAME !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

MTV over in America have just recently done the "Hottest MC in the game" for this year of 2008.
Now, all of us hip hop fans(over 25) do actually know that hip-hop ain't what it was in terms of content, lyrical ability, production and overall quality, still, recent years have thrown great talent out like the relentless Lil Wayne, who love him or hate him is in many people's mind the greatest rapper alive as well as the not so talented but equally amusing capo of the Dipset Jim Jones.
Anyway the list is out, voted and agreed by the MTV Hip-Hop (NO) Brain Trust and as you can imagine is a load of complete bullshit.
Ladies and gents it hurts me to say that the king of hissy fits is top of the list as the hottest mc in the game right now. Kanye West has had many a run in with MTV in recent years declaring 'Fuck MTV, Fuck em, I ain't ever coming back"
Perhaps in fear that the Ye would boycott the Mtv studios and awards this Brain trust of hip hop has declared this blatant mis justice.

'Hottest MCs In The Game'(MTV)
1 Kanye
2 Jay-Z
3 Weezy
4 Rick Ross
5 Snoop Dog
6 50 Cent
7 Lupe Fiasco

8 Young Jeezy

9 Andre 3000

10 T.I


I could go on and on about this list, my main problem besides Kanye is the fact that Jay-Z is second having put out two really shit albums as his last two outings compared to albums such as the Black album. Why is he so high up? Could it be the industry weight he pulls as a business man? If so, why is 50 so low? surely The G unit top boy pulls a great deal of power in the corporate world so surely he should be higher?
The Titay gravy Boss creeps in at 4. Then I'm left thinking are people saying that the Boss is 4th hottest Mc in the game right now????? This list is bogus! I mean only if they doing it on album releases this year and their relative sales numbers can this be even accepted or tolerated.
I'm a fan of the Boss but hottest Mc ? Number 4? Come on.
There's mc's out there right now that may not have a general release this side of the new year but are blatant hands down a lot better and hotter than some of the names on this list. A lot of names that are in our opinion just at the wrong order. Plus I know there's some Mc's like Nas, Juelz, Joe Budden, Royce 5'9 or even Killa Cam who ain't put nothing out yet this year or might not have had the commercial success as the like of the hugely pushed and marketed American Gangster but still have done enough to be at least considered for the top 10.
Also before I forget, Andre 3000??!?!?!? Get the fuck outta here man, is that a joke?!?!?!?

The worst thing is a non hip hop fan could see this and then go out and hear these artists in that order leaving them to think that yes hip -hop is dead.
Fuck MTV as Kanye would say them lot are full of shit no doubt.
