Every year MTV’s ‘Top 10 Hottest MCs In The Game’ list is one of the most talked about events in hip-hop.

The list factors in categories such as artistic execution (lyrical ability, flow), commercial success (chart hits, radio spins, album spins), cultural impact (business acumen, ushering in other big artists), digital metrics Facebook page likes, Twitter followers, new songs on mixtapes), buzz and other intangibles.

A new rapper on the list will be announced daily on “The Week in Jams” on MTV2. The list will conclude on March 7th at 10pm on MTV Jams.

The controversy is already here and they have only released numbers 6 through 10:

10. Meek Mill

9. Future

8. A$AP Rocky

7. Kanye West

6. Big Sean

Does anybody else think that Big Sean should not be above Kanye West? What else do you think about the list so far and who do you think will be in the top 5?

Sidebar: MTV needs to take the “MC’s” out of the title, and just call it “The Hottest Rappers”. Just because you can pick up a mic, doesn’t make you an emcee.
