Watch MTV’s new game show Hip-Hop Squares Wednesday, May 22nd…
Hip Hop Squares will bring together comedians, athletes and pop-culture personalities. More than just a game of tic-tac-toe, it’s the ultimate game of BS. Hip Hop Squares premieres Tuesday, May 22nd at 11/10c.
I for once agree with Lil’ Wayne, who said Hip-Hop POV is vital to the culture. It’s nice to have a show on a major network that revolves around the way the game is today, because it’s a lot different than it was even just a few years ago. It’s almost like a live round table blog. I’d love to be a part of something like this some day. Peep last nights episode with Iggy Azalea, Lil’ Wayne, Future, DJ Khaled and more. Oh, and note to MTV, DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!
Do you agree with Rick Ross being number 1? Why was Young Jeezy left out? Does Jay-Z deserve to be higher on this list? Does this list matter at all? Check out the full list below and let us know your thoughts. Next year they really need to name this Most Popular Artist Of The Following Year. All I’m saying is there are a few people on here who I wouldn’t put in the “MC” category. *Kanye Shrug*
#1 Rick Ross
#2 Drake
#3 Kanye West
#4 Nicki Minaj
#5 Lil Wayne
#6 Jay-Z
#7 Meek Mill
#8 Big Sean
#9 Wiz Khalifa
#10 Wale
Yea, I know what your thinking, wasn’t Big Sean number 9 yesterday? Yup. Big Sean is now number 8. Blame MTV…
Wiz Khalifa stays high, so as expectations for his debut album, Rolling Papers, shot through the roof, the Pittsburgh rapper made good by delivering a gold-selling LP last March — with multiple hit singles to back it. That success and more was enough to take him from MTV’s 2010 Hottest Breakthrough MC to the Hottest MCs in the Game VII list.
Not only did the Taylor Gang general snag the #2 spot on the Billboard 200 in his first week out — behind Britney Spears — he also dropped a collaborative album with Snoop Dogg (Mac & Devin Go to High School), blessed fans with the Cabin Fever mixtape, and sold out shows around the world on his Rolling Papers Tour. When it was all said and done, the Kush and Orange Juice spitter clocked in a reported $11 million and snagged the #11 spot on Forbes’ Hip-Hop’s Top Earners list.
That momentum lost hurts. He needs to redeem himself with a great Sophomore album. I think we can all agree on that.
I don’t know why this is called Hottest Emcees In The Game. This always should have been called Biggest Buzz Of Last Year. MTV Says…
The biggest part of Big Sean’s rise over the past year has been the unwavering support of his fans. While he’s signed to a major label (Def Jam) and one of the brightest stars on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint, it was those fans mobbing him at the Adidas store in New York and superstar supporters like Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj hopping on his debut album, Finally Famous, that propelled Sean to #9 on MTV News’ Hottest MCs in the Game VII — his first appearance on the list.
MTV spoke to Rozay who was in the studio with the legendary Dr. Dre recently and he says the good Doctor gave him some advice…
”The advice he gave me, it’s already affected the way I’ve been in the studio for the last week. So let’s just say he’s full of knowledge and he’s a solid guy. Most definitely that’s maybe my biggest hip-hop influence in the game.”
I cant even front. I’d love to see a collab between these two someday. At least make that happen if your not gonna give us Detox. Stop giving away songs Dre!
Eric aka Moving Weight and his brother Jeff aka Clean Up In Isle 7 are on their shit once again, this go around catching up with Ace Hood for MTV’s The Check In. The hilarity factor on these is through the damn roof.
