Marshall Mathers has an army of supporters, and thanks to them, Eminem has risen to the top of the fan voting in our Hottest MC poll. With 40 percent of the votes thus far, he's pulled ahead of Joe Budden and 50 Cent, who had been the leading vote getters in the weeks since we opened the poll. Now that those votes are being factored into this year's official list, it seems fans are aware that the stakes are higher.
A reader named Stacey is among the Em fans wearing the cyberspace rally cap and encouraging folks to get behind the Detroit rap legend. "Eminem is the hottest one in this list!!! Vote for Eminem," she wrote.
Meanwhile, a commenter called the Champ has posted a top 10 list: "1. Eminem; 2. 50 Cent; 3. Kanye West; 4. T.I.; 5. Jay-Z; 6. Fabolous; 7. Lloyd Banks; 8. Young Jeezy; 9. Drake; 10. Lil Wayne.
"Em is the undisputed Hottest MC. Relapse [is the] best album put out since [T.I.'s] Paper Trail," Champ added. "Lyrically and artistically, he is simply on another level than Jay-Z, Weezy and Kanye."But don't count out Lil Wayne. It looks like more of his fans are going to step to the plate and show support for Weezy F. Baby.
"Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive," user CaliSky wrote. "Eminem is definitely talented, but have you heard Tha Carter III? What about his new track, 'I'ma Go Getta'? And now he's doing this rock/rap blend? Lil Wayne for sure has my vote."Due to the whopping 420 percent increase in voting, we decided to delay revealing the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust's list and let you guys weigh in. We're encouraging everyone to continue to be engaged in this conversation and cast your vote for the Hottest MCs in the Game until September 21. "
IN MY OPINION.. the dude that was suckin' on Lil Waynes teet is all shit. Lil Wayne commercially has had a impact on modern day 'Hip Hop' buuuut, glorifying his shit as if it is the best and comparing it only to eminems relapse is whack. Em has produced an infantry of dope shit from Infinite, to Relapse and even further back, Soul Intent. Weezy can suck a phat. im glad hes not even close in the running to be the Hottest MC, besides the 'rock/rap blend' that the dude above spoke about is old shit, been done already mate and way better too, Run DMC boy Hova shit even Ludacris.
And with this 50cent and Joe Buddens taking 2nd and 3rd also expecting to be 1st by critics is quite interesting, i guess NZ is behind on this shit cause i havent heard any 50 stuff for the year except that one new song ,Dope vid may i add, and definately havent heard any Buddens since You Got Served. Il have to check up on this i guess. All in all this Mtv Vote doesnt really move me, i been voting but not with all my heart, haha shit i gave Em about a Vote but im trying to get Raekwon out of the 1% status. also aticipating the Only Built For Cuban Linx II. Another thought im suprised Jay Z aint nowhere too, hes on the Mighty 1%, guess millions are voting em..
