Soulja Boy is mad about MTV’s Hottest MCs In The Game list. He’s stuck between wanting to write the whole thing off, and hoping he lands on it next year.
Tweeting out his feelings earlier today, the Atlanta rapper called out everybody involved (in all caps).”THAT NEW MTV LIST IS SOME BULLSH-T. IT HAS NO CREDITABILITY [sic] AND THE JUDGE PANEL HAD NO PASSION.” he wrote. “IT WAS FIXED AND BIASED. NEXT YEAR THO.”
How he can blast MTV and then hope to be on their good side with a single tweet is beyond us, but as we’ve been reporting all week, rappers have really been up in arms about their position on the countdown–or lack thereof.
Kanye West was upset about being No. 7, and announced to the world that he gifted Sway Calloway with his “first TV,” which looked to be about 15 years old, and didn’t even have a remote. Similarly, A$AP Rocky believed that he should’ve been bumped up, and Pusha T just lost it. “I blacked out on a whole crew by myself,” he said during a call to BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Semtex about learning that he wasn’t even on the list. “I don’t belong on no list? And I’m talking ’bout everybody, I blacked out on peoples’ favorites! I had MCs denouncing their fan base, coming back with records talking ’bout, “Well as long as my chicks love me.”
As for the real king of the list, MTV awarded that prize to Kendrick Lamar. He responded pretty well to the whole thing.
