Peter Rosenberg Reacts to MTV Hottest MCs List

[deronee]

@attic79 then you don't know hip hop.

[Naslovesme88]

lol

[attic79]

im hip hop ing more then 16 years but i dont know any of these hot m.c.s..

[Ryzon28]

who id let go after eminem? shit thats an easy ? to answer lol

The GZA, RZA,GFK or Raekwon, Can-I-Bus,Rakim,KRS1,B.D.K, maybe Jay-Z, only cause those dudes have "weight" in what they say and are serious MC's not just rappers.....dead guys...ODB, 2PAC, and BIGGIE would easily smash a crowd after Eminem........even MC RUN lol

[gregflores1012]

as a person in a influential place, you have a responsibility to try and keep hip hop in a place where it is respected as a true art form (4 elements) not a cookie factory, shoving the toxic product down the throat of stupid consumers who are barely smarter than sheep...Each one teach one. We should be progressing intellectually and artistically.

[gregflores1012]

Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, Del, Slug, Evidence, ACtion Bronson, Kid Daytona, Dumbfoundead, Mr. Lif, Ceschi, El-P,Jean Grae, why aren't these people mentioned as the best emcees? Fuck record sales, people like the backstreet boys sell millions of records but arent respected musicians/artists.....lets focus on REAL Art, Music, not who can create a buzz....Snooki is good at creating a buzz but as a person shes a joke. Lets go back to whats important

[qaanjeer500]

oh my goodness this is not hip hop is garbage music

[amina70angel]

hip hop is dead

nas was right

[urdynamix1]

We Never Get Anywhere When Discussing Good Rappers, People Like Different Artist Regardless, This Is The Reason I Hate These So Called "Hot or Greatest Ever List. This Kind of Topic are So Stupid.

[Ryzon28]

@urdynamix1 true.....but a HOT list is different from Greatest list in my opinion....andre3000 is a good lyricist too.

[pbf316]

eminem would shit on any rapper--he has proven this so many times--he can't be fucked with by anybody-lol

i don't give a fuck who it is--eminem is the nicest period--

[kinstler13]

guccie is horrible. He raps so slow is sounds like hes just talking to the beat

[ThisIsLoozyWoozy]

did he say wayne has talent?

on to the next video

[ricrossisaCOfakeBoss]

BANK$ killin def. 1 of the hottest mc's his word play is so so so so Crazy

[bigrockstar41]

@ricrossisaCOfakeBoss Was he out at the time?

[ricrossisaCOfakeBoss]

@bigrockstar41 within the last 2 years banks has dropprd so many mixtapes his word play is better than any 1 on that top 10 list on mtv

you hear what kanye said top 5 in the game underated

[TheUndergroundAOTP]

none of them are MC's

[bigrockstar41]

1. Eminem

2. Raekwon

3. Nas

4. Method Man & Redman

5. 50 Cent

In terms of hotness at the time, that's how the list should've been.

[ricrossisaCOfakeBoss]

@bigrockstar41

wheres BANK$

[BeenaBee]

MTV are bunch of brainwashing idiots to put soulja boy, nelly and t.i. on that list, since when did hype and record sales equal skill and ability, dumb ass faggot ass niggas...this is why hip hop is dead

[psx2514]

It's a fucking disgrace that MTV even says that Soulja Boy is an MC!  This proves that those idiots at MTV know NOTHING about hip hop. If they did, they would know the difference between an MC and a rapper which apparently they don't.

[NotEntertaining]

the following mcs suck  young jeezy gucci man soulja boy plies and ludacris

[ImaazeDa3th]

what, i never looked at that MTV top 10.. i dont wanna do it, cus that would fucking kill me.. was fucking soulja boy on that and Lil gayne? man.. Hip hop is dead in the mainstream..

Big L, big pun...yeah, u know the deal..

[perritojr619]

somebody needs to tell me y eminem didnt mak da list da wack ass jay-z hit #1

dats not right yp

[capmoradah]

RA the Rugged Man

[bmore1625]

I like some of the stuff he was saying but what he said about Nas not putting anything out in a while and that is why is not hot is crazy cause as hot is Andre 3000 is he has not put an album out in six years.And if you from the south you Gucci and Yo Gotti got the streets.But Piles aint that nigga no more.Jada should have been on there with out a question.Jay-Z should have been number one he keeps New York in the game with the songs he drops.

[EBeBIG]

I'm really trying to figure out how much you have to pay somebody to bulls**t that much about Asher Roth and Kid Cudi's potential much less their talent.

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Teach the truth, pete! Peace.

[skaterava]

Rosenberg is right on the money here. The MTV list is fucking terrible. Only Jay and Raekwon deserve to be on the list, and i definetly wouldn't put Jay on the #1 spot. Where's KRS, Rakim, Kool G, Nas, Eminem? I'd even put Lupe on there, The Cool was a fantastic album.

Asher Roth and Cudi can fuck off.

[eurocarsonly07]

Emcees are lyrical and have substance in their music rappers don't. That whole list is fucked up and wrong.

[Freshhhhh1982]

Pun

[Bgod74]

fuck outta her nas,krs, wutang,oc,lord finnesse,ditc,fuck cuddy,and the rest of these disney channel rappaz pleaze!!!

[abcdefghjklmnrst]

lol, "idk if redman is the hottest right now" (cue middle finger lmao)....all jokes aside, you know the game is in trouble when the white dude has to straighten that bs list out....no offense white people, i love y'all

[afrokillah]

Finally someone who know hip-hop speaks. He's right wit all he says, but i disagree wit kanye dis year (kanye is my favorite mc) coz 808 was pop music, not hip-hop. So i wouldn't put kanye in the top 10

[NWDAMU503]

kanye is not an mc

[afrokillah]

tell me, what a mc means for you?

[DAPDave]

What are you talking about?  Ignorant statement, no offense.

[djflaco69]

I feel the list but where is Joell Ortiz Rosenberg? He's easy top 5 there

[OleSchoolRule]

Is Peter Rosenberg swedish? the name sounds pretty much like that

[kakonis]

Goddamn, all of your lists are fucked to hell. I'll post mine. And even if I make mistakes, it's bound to be the least shitty attempt thus far. 1. Rakim 2. Biggie 3. Kool G Rap 4. Big Pun 5.Scarface 6. Slick Rick 7. Chuck D 8. Jay-Z 9. KRS-One 10. Talib Kweli

[NWDAMU503]

lol jus cus kool g krs one was the first to do it doesnt mean they are in the top mc's but it goes 1)2pac 2)biggie 3)big l 4)big pun 5)ice cube 6)ugk 7)rakim 8)nas 9)eminem 10)wu tang clan

[afrokillah]

its 2009 top mc's! They are not making an all-time greatest mc contest!!!

[fieldofstorms]

Haha Mtv is screwed. They just dug themselves a deep grave if Eminem bothers to retaliate on Relapse 2.

[lukeydev]

fuck this

st8 of dat fat cunt

[bootysweat954]

heres a REAL list 1. Eminem 2. Jay Z 3. Drake 4. Crooked I 5. Kanye West 6. Lloyd Banks 7. Lupe Fiasco 8. Jadakiss 9. Joell Ortiz 10. J. Cole

[CLOUDxN9NE]

ur terrible! i agree wit em number 1 but the rest is just retarded!

[NWDAMU503]

kanye should never b talked about in top mc

[afrokillah]

Ya krazy!?!? Kanye was hot 2 years ago, coz he got skills. But 808 was pop music, not Hip-Hop. So dis year he shouldn't be in da list.

[NWDAMU503]

thats wut i said kanye should never b talked about when it comes to top mc's u replying to the wrong person

[Gbaby90rapman]

the top 10 hottest Mc's hottest not best 1.Drake 2.Eminem 3.Jay-Z 4.Joe Budden 5.Jadakiss 6.Raekwon 7.Wale 8.Kid Cudi 9.Mos Def 10.B.o.B

[FaceKillaBloodSpilla]

HIP HOP IS DUN. OVER.

[nochio23]

@FaceKillaBloodSpilla Na bro, your mom's pussy is DONE. OVER.

[GHOSTFACE323]

@FaceKillaBloodSpilla hip hop is not over, it just went underground.

[extrahustle]

@FaceKillaBloodSpilla Nah its alive...don't let the uncredible list sway you. Its just their opinion. There's hungry emcees all over the globe. Fans need to start digging again to make the major artists honest. Makes em actually have to work to keep your interest. The fans (sad 2 say) are lazy these days and just go for whatever is marketed to em. Gotta dig fam..it's part of the culture...gotta dig...

[Illtone9]

@FaceKillaBloodSpilla who da fuck is you to make that claim?

[HaloedG]

@MrBizzel Enough Eminem already...

[TriKknowLEdGE1]

Fuck these hottest mc's of the moment lists. WTF does that even mean ? Who gives a shit about being popluar for the moment. Just look at all these cornball rappers getting spins. They trash. This clown wouldn't include NASTY NAS ??????????????????????? GTFOH !! And by the way the realest MC's he did mention were Eminem, Andre3000 & Raekwon.

[abackilla]

does anybody know the name of the song that he was talking about. The one with 50 rapping over the Gotcha Opin beat by Black Moon

[istephtube]

Lol damn i gotta stop commenting youtube only lets me type 500 but anyway what about the females of the year would have to go to nicki minaj that sall i gottta say if you want the hottest female in the game

[istephtube]

i defitnaly (spelling)gotta say that this is one of the best year of hip-hop in my lifetime i dont know about yours but we got new artist like drake and cudi and we got the return of legends jay-z and eminem and now i know yall gonna hate me for this on but i like the new jerkin genre of hip hop its hot cali underground music but here is my fav 5

5.kanye west or T.I cant decide

i hate southern gucci mane and plies im from florida the south there lyrics ew

[istephtube]

[focal69]

1 , Hova

2,  Nas

3, Eminem

4, Joe Budden

5, Slaughterhouse

now i get to many be hear Em and SH together! finally!

[NWDAMU503]

lol thats gotta b a joke top 5 lol joe budden??? slauhgterhouse??? lol jay z has put out a decent album since the black album and hes

known as the biggest biter in hiphop history and ems last 3 albums have been garbage get of his dick nas is probably the only legit one on ur list and thats by default

[mijnflow]

ludacris should be on the list to he is a lyrical assasin, i agree with the andre3000

1.eminem 2. jay-z 3. 50 cent 4. drake 5. t.i. 6. young jeezy 7. ludacris 8. lil wayne 9. Plies 10. jiim jones

i dont like kanye dont like that autotune, kid cudi not yet, Plies should be on the list because he is the realist some people forget why there is rap music.

[drock285]

name me any work from ludacris,jim jones,plies,50cent and ti in the last 10 weeks of hip hop to be on the top 10??

[mijnflow]

50 cent

2 mixtapes war angel and forever king

and ass everybody knows T.I. had a singel that was gonna be on Paper trail 2

but he is in Prison (FREE T.I.)

Plies en Jim jones i agree no work but still good mc's once again im watching this on a point off vieuw off HIP HOP not about how much money they make.

[drock285]

ok thanks but how can any of your rapper go on top of jay-z,eminem,drake,lil wayne and kayne, you need to look after the top 5 cause this are the top 5 right now just base on work,buzz,newz,ect

1)jay-z

2)eminem

3)drake

4)lil wayne

5)kayne west

you can place no other rappers on top of then right now...

[DonDi09]

and yet dumb moafuckas are talking about kanye outselling FIF for the FIRST WEEK, clearly curtis has actually raped graduation so far, you dudes let that go, its old news, FIF is still that nigga, EM and FIF top this year, no competition...

[fhtmohio]

50 should be the only rapper

[SteelCitiesFinest]

Lol.. He called Ems album Detox 2.

50 Cent will not be in top 3. He just wont.

Top 3'll be .. Jay, Drake, Eminem. Don't know what order but looking at every aspect these three got it locked.

[NJKIDDRICO973]

Just because southern rappers don't spit like the way you like, they STILL SPIT.Totally blasphemous if gucci mane ain't on the list this year.P.S They snubbed soulja boy the year he had people in china doing his dance IN PRISON!!!Think about that.Peace.

[Fishstix9000]

Why isn't fishstix9000 on this list?

[MotherLeone123]

LP = long play

[eksell2]

what does LP mean like marshal mathers LP slim shady LP

[83backbreaker]

first off i dont even recognize 50 cent....the dude lost to kanye..period....now you mention budden but didnt mention CROOKED I......and im sure thats becuase theres west coast hating once again...when CROOKED I stands out in every slaughterhouse track you gotta mention him on that list.....ludacris??? really?? over CROOKED??

[chelseamate1]

he's def. right about 50

look out for that BISD 50 album november!!

[bbomber734]

joe budden hottest in the game right now? bsed on what? joebuddentv?? cuz he music aint selling worth of shit!

[kevinladou]

tech n9ne,slaughterhouse?

[mustangx218]

Uh...50 cent hasn't even come out with an album in a while and he's #1 based off a mixtape which isn't even that good. Right........ I know he friends with Kanye, but he still ain't even quit rapping altho he lost to him.

[tranjohn]

Dumb ass said detox 2!

What a dumb ass it's relapse 2!!!

[dvdmex]

WOW Peter......BANK$ is just dope?no disrespect to EM but Banks has the hottest lines on every track of every mixtape.....come on pete

[Mrking813]

Detox 2......Or Relaspe

[chrisSosa]

wow Banks is not in his top 10? well he is in my top 5

[pierremcneil]

What about Rick Ross "The Boss"

lol.

[2much2hide06]

Fuck Rosenberg! How are you gonna ride Jay Z and Reakwons nuts and diss Nas. And stop promoting Drake cuz he's ass and doesn't even write his own lyrics. He read a freestyle off a fuckin blackberry!

[dqp023]

he said the reason he doesnt think nas is the hottest right now..and it's true nas hasn't put out an album or anything in a while....dumbass listen to the interview

[ruper31]

"he makes cute records for kids"

[slickvilla11]

No disrespect PETER..But lets not get it twisted..Your people run the music buisness,So you should take that up with them..But you are intitled to your opion..But take that up with the chest players and gray wolves..I got love for you but I am also aware of what the ones who really running the music buisness are doing to Hip Hop, and Im not mad at them for taking advantage of ignorance..But we the people have to bring hip hop back.Without no hidden agendas,No deception,And no corporations..

[JJJAAMESS]

eminem - `detox 2` ?????????????

[bearscapo]

camron is back/50 is sicker than ever

[lol6478]

ppl have stop looking at this award as artists that are out RIGHT NOW....

sure drake is ALRIGHT.... but his song history doesnt go back that far, but some1 like eminem has had constant hits over his carrer

so if u gonna give that award to some1 like drake, he wouldn't deserve it in my opinion...

and as for 50... I judge his shit from power of the dollar... he has had ~4 good albums and 1 bad one (curtis)..and most of his mixtape (esp recently) has always been hot.... not a bad run...so far...

[pgsbest]

who would you put after Em in a battle? Jada. Em cant fuck with Jada

[originalpeople99]

Blu. from Blu & Exile, Johnson&Johnson, and C.R.A.C. ? Three albums in two years, 2 of them classic? XXL cover? This kid is backpack king of the underground next to Sean Price. Definitely buzzing.

[drock285]

HOTTERS MC'S MTV 09 1) Jay-z (Album + News + Beef w/ The Game) 2) Eminem (Album+ Beef w/Mariah0 3)Drake (EP, Future of Hip Hop, Co-Sign By Top Rappers) 4)Lil Wayne (Online Newz, Tour, Baby Mothers News, Remix w/ Top Artist) 5) Kayne West ( Mtv VMA, Remix w/ Top Artist, Girlfriend) 6) Reakwon (Album, Beef w/Joe Budden) 7) Kid Cudi (Album 110k first week) 8) Fabolous (Album 125k first week) 9) Gucci Man (The South, Mix tapes, Remix w/Mariah) 10 50 Cent ( Mix Tapes)

[IAmBoxing1]

man lloyd banks got more mixtapes than 50 and his punch lines are retarted....he goes hard right now...but they didnt say freeway or chamillionaire

[dju16]

50 Cent....not brainer that he's top 3. War Angel LP is sick. Forever King Mixtape is even iller. And he droppin the 50th Law of Power Mixtape this week. 50 Cent is whats hot on mixtapes and underground shit. If he put as much energy in his album like he does with the mixtapes, then expect a huge album in Before I Self Destruct this november 24th.

[bowwowbrother]

50 cent should not be on any fucking list hell nah fuck yall nigga is trash singing all the time like a r&b singer who cant hear his own voice beacuse if could hear his own voice 50 wouldnt sing it sounds so ugly almost as ugly as when lil wayne "sings"

[dju16]

you must not have heard War Angel LP or Forever King Mixtape. 50th Law Mixtape droppin this week. Check those out and I bet you you'll consider 50 top 3.

[hunspoke]

honestly i think 50 is fucking up by sticking to that "street shit". I keep waiting for his music to mature a little past "i got the strap, act up and ima yada yada...Thats how niggas fall off.

[M4x4p4c]

#1 should be 50 cent or Jay-z.........they done the most hot stuff this year......

[bklynson101]

here are the top 3

1) Jay-z

2) Drake

3) Eminem

[HaRdWuZ]

xD

I agree with Drake.. Then Delete Jay-Z .. and put eminem number 1! Then 3th ... 50 Cent! Fo Sho

[bklynson101]

jay-z bluprint 3 just did 450k first week and 300k 2nd week how is 50 cent with no album over jay-z as hotter right now???

people in here are saying mase, jezzy,camron, nas, dre, snoop, plies, the list is not who your favor rappers is hotter in the game right now

people just go by the last 6 weeks of hip hop, don't just use music, every thing news,buzz,music,online buzz,beef,mix tape

50cent,gucci mane,soulja boy, joe budden are not top 5 hotters right now

[HaRdWuZ]

BISD is coming up .. and wtf 450k first week? Curtis -> 700k first week.. xd

[bklynson101]

is hotters right now mtv is only going to go by the later july, august,september 09 50 cent will not be in the top 5 cause he hads no work jay-z is all over right now he just did oprah and 300k these week he will be #1 , eminem is about to sign slaughthouse he #2, drake is drake 3 videos on bet, 5 songs on hot 97 + mtv is the same company as the dragrassi he #3..

People is hotters right now , NOT how is the best rapper of all time

[HaRdWuZ]

50 Cent got 2 HOT mixtapes!

[Jinz3]

3th?

[illyDvd]

Kanye shouldn't be on the list cuz he hasn't done enough rapping lately to be the hottest mc. Other than that pretty good list

[busysignal2006]

this is my first time hearing of pete rosenberg but i can already tell this guy has a very good understanding of music. he knows what real talent is but isnt stubborn like some underground cats are

[d15craxx]

If you put kanye on there because he has 3 classic hip hop albums, and you don't put Nas on there because he doesn't do autotune today, then i think he really kisses they're ass because he's a radio dude... Nas albums are all classics, and he put out a Hip Hop album just 1 year ago, or less!

[bklynson101]

kayne is on the list cause of his girlfriend, feat with jay-z,riahanna,drake,lil wayne,eminem,the game,chris brown,ect (all in 2009)

THE MTV THING MAKE HIM THE HOTTER RIGHT NOW, TELL ME HOW IS GETTING MORE NEW RIGHT NOW??

[bklynson101]

**WHO**

some people really thing mtv is going to go on rapping, hahaha is about who is hot jay-z,drake,eminem,lil wayne,kayne west are in ever other rapper on the list is a maybe, maybe not!!!

[bowwowbrother]

ohh here we go again another nas fan jesus christ the dude has not had a radio banger in god knows how longs this list is aboout whos hot right NOW rappers cant get a pass just cuz they a legend

[HomerBong]

aser roth and joe budden NEED to be taken off that list...  they suck.

[ReAlTaLk318]

peter rosenberg know music he plays the fire late nite and him and cyph funny as hell..where joe budden crazy not to have him on the list

[DoriegaIzShowtime]

What was the list for this year?

[maxamillionent]

it's relapse 2, not detox 2.

[grn100cash]

Cool, andre 3000 someone gave him some credit. I also liked someother people he mention but

WHEN IS NEW YORK GETTING WIZ KHALIFA????

How Fly yea

Ohh Kay

[clnmike]

Ive yet to hear anything hot out of Asster Roth. But I guess this list is about who is getting the most play right now and not about skills which would pretty much eliminate 80% of his list.

[88shottahz]

lol on the cipha sounds effect

can sum1 tell me the job title of Peter Rosenberg

[daddyacenogmx]

LOL Detox 2

[dynastybeats]

that was a really good top 10 except im not to sure about asher roth being in there lol

[slicksoup]

WTF is this dude talking about? It's hottest MC's and he said "BOB" should be up there, Rosenburg is such a fucking herb, he don't know what he's tlaking about. SMH

[Perfection7tv]

rosenberg spitting the TRUTH..best mornign show on the radio

[jabeats214]

B.O.B. - Mr. Bobby

[seagreen152]

it's cause drake is with wayne thats why fuckers hate him drake is dope fuck all that radio shit his mixtapes is nuts

[810GRAFF]

drake came out ill but he turned pop kinda

[dynastybeats]

but if it wasnt for wayne nobody would be listenin to drake right now. only people in canada and a few people in the u.s.

[seagreen152]

yeah ok sure he has a fucking hot ass mixtape before he fucked with wayne

[dynastybeats]

and that mixtape would have never been heard by millions of people if drake didnt start working with wayne

[seagreen152]

yeah ok sure.... it the same reason people hate him thats what im saying i never said all that other shit you talking about

[dmc9021]

detox 2? common man..smh

[BUCKLIFEENT]

lol on the drke part~
