After all the debates by the MTV “braintrust,” as well as plenty of commentary online, Rick Ross has been named MTV’s Hottest MC In The Game. The final two MCs came down to Rozay and Drake, with the Maybach Music Boss edging out the Young Money rapper, and crooner, for the top spot.

Coming in third was Kanye West, thanks to his work on Watch The Throne, followed by Nicki Minaj, who is just as much a Pop star as she is a Rap star, and Lil’ Wayne came in fifth. For those paying attention, that means YMCMB held down 60% of the top five. Not a bad haul.

For those crying foul, try to understand the nuances and difference in the meaning of adjectives like “hottest,” “best,” “greatest,” etc. Watch the MTV peeps discuss the Bawse and Drizzy’s hottest MC credentials in the video below.
