hiphop MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game 2009

[Mr. Gayle]

The 2009 Hottest MCs in the Game rollout is now complete! As in 2007 and 2008, the list, determined by the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust, s based on an MC's achievements right now, rather than an entire career.WOW Em had biggest album of the year, number 1 in how many countries, and not even in the top 10 »10. Raekwon »9. 50 Cent »8. Fabolous »7. Young Jeezy »6. Gucci Mane »5. Rick Ross »4.Kanye West »3. Drake »2. Lil Wayne »1. Jay-Zhttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1622982/2...003/story.jhtml

Interesting but about right.

. The criteria is based on a combination of rhyme skill, flow and how those things are implemented musically as the main factors. The Brain Trust also considered buzz, impact, commercial success -- sales, airplay, business ventures, Web presence, endorsements and helping to spawn other artists' careers -- and the intangible, impact: Can an artist not only contribute to the rap game but influence cultural shifts? Are they trendsetters? All of these factors.

Finally got something like this correct.

They flopped not having Em' in there, surprising for an MTV chart.
