Background

The Hottest MC in the Game List was formed in 2007 and every year a group of Hip-Hop journalists known as "The Brain Trust" debate on who is their favorite rapper of that year. The Brain Trust has been composed of:[3][4][5]

Sway Calloway (on-air correspondent, MTV News)

Tuma Basa (manager, MTV Music Programming)

Bridget Bland (producer/writer, MTV Radio Network)

Buttahman (director, music and talent, "MTV Jams")

Rahman Dukes (senior producer, MTVNews.com)

Andrea Duncan-Mao (senior music editor, MTV.com Editorial)

Sean Lee (supervising producer, MTV News)

Joseph Patel (producer, MTV News)

Shaheem Reid (hip-hop editor, MTV News)

Jayson Rodriguez (hip-hop writer, MTV News)

Hillary Crosley (RapFix)

Steven Roberts (MTV News)

Sheila Grullon (MTV Jams)

Yomi Desalu (mtvU)

Ahmed Abdulle (mtvU)

Mike Masic (mtvU)

Moe Ahmed (mtvU)

Rebecca Thomas (writer, MTV News)

Renaud Jean-Baptiste Jr. (junior copywriter, MTV News)

Nadeska Alexis (blog editor, RapFix)

Rob Markman (senior Hip-Hop writer, MTV News)

The Brain Trust judges rappers on the grounds of their artistic execution (lyrical ability, flow), commercial success (charting hits, radio spins, album sales), cultural impact (business acumen, ushering in other big artists), digital metrics Facebook page likes, Twitter followers, new songs on mixtapes), buzz and other intangibles. In order to be eligible to be included in on the list an artist must have actively released music that year.[4]

[Bobby Reds]

Drake should be number 1 tbh

[Sole]

I don't think future should even be on the list him and nas

I don't see how they are 'hot' tbh

[Sole]

[Sole]

[Agony]

Gonna post this part again to help people understand how this list was done

Chief Keef has digital metrics, buzz and radio spins covered but the other parts of the criteria is why he's not on this list

2 Chainz is not on it for his lyrical ability("she got a big booty so I call her big booty") but he did have a couple muti-platinum, platinum and gold singles and a few Grammy nominations

[Sole]

Pmsl @ not having to be lyrical to get on the list

(I understand y 2chainz is on and he's probably got more right than half the list tbh)

[The Infamous]

 

he dropped last year along with ghost writing for some big singers/rappers 

 

+ all the features and singles he had out last year makes him 'hot' in 2012

 

/

 

while 2 chainz has dropped one mixtape(end of 2011 but counts as 2012 imo) and a popular album/group album last year

 

+ cruel summer and every other rappers mixtape in 2012 makes him the definition of popular last year so he should be on the list 

[Thizz]

Wiz shoulda been there too.

[JOHN DOE]

Yh he should've. Forgot about him

[Bobby Reds]

Nah not Wiz

[Kurtis]

 

guy was so miscellaneous

 

coulda said Lil Fate would be big n i prob woulda beelieved you more
