Read moreKendrick Lamar shares his thoughts on MTV’s “Hottest MCs in the Game” list. Plus, does he think Kanye West deserved a higher spot? Previously: MTV’s Hottest MCs In The Game #1: Kendrick Lamar [Video]
Read moreWell-earned! Congrats Kendrick! K-Dot earned the #1 spot in a unanimous decision, while 2 Chainz landed in the #2 slot. While both MCs made indelible marks in the last year, it was Kendrick’s artistry and commercial appeal that helped him earn the title. Lyrically, Lamar is an expert spitter who weaves complex rhyme patterns around soul-drenched beats, with as unique a style as rap has seen in years. And while verbal depth isn’t usually a marker for rap success, the Compton rapper moved major units when he dropped his debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city.

Read moreThe Atlanta rapper makes his “Hottest MCs in the Game” debut at #2 after a whirlwind year. At last year’s roundtable, 2 Chainz was named “one to watch” by MTV’s Hip-Hop Brain Trust, but leaping from honorable mention to #2 is worthy of applause. In 2011, the rapper formerly known as Tity Boi was on fire with the hit “Spend It” from his T.R.U. REALigion mixtape, but that was only the beginning for the Playaz Circle veteran. The Def Jam MC wrapped up 2012 with a Best Rap Album Grammy nomination for B.O.A.T.S. By the top of the year, he was attending Inauguration Weekend festivities, including one where he received the Street Soldier Award for his work with the Respect My Vote campaign. Oh, and did we mention those intangibles? “The fact that on election night, Barack Obama gets elected and the meme that goes around is ’2 Termz’ … everywhere you look, there was 2 Chainz,” Thomas added.
