MTV Crowns Rick Ross As The #1 Hottest MC [VIDEO]

How did we even get here? After a week of controversial, and in my opinion, terrible selections, Rick Ross was crowned MTV's #1 Hottest MC in the game.  Last night on an MTV2 televised special, they announced the top 5, which included Drake at #2, Kanye West at #3, Nicki Minaj at #4 and Lil Wayne at #5.

I definitely respect Rick Ross and I think he deserves a top spot on the list, but I think that Kanye West should have been number 1. He brought back the weekly installment back to Hip Hop with Good Fridays, released an amazing album in My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and changed the game with Jay-Z on Watch The Throne.

Watch the "Brain Trust" debate between Drake and Rozay for the top spot, and hit the jump to view MTV's full list and deliberation for #3-5.

The G.O.O.D. Music album has already become one of 2012's most highly anticipated projects. What has been more interesting is the fact that other artists, not part of the team's official roster, are lending a hand.  Recently, Mannie Fresh was seen in London with Big Sean and Pusha T working on the album, as well as Marsha Ambrosius.  Now recent pictures show Omarion also contributing to the effort. Look below to see Common, Big Sean, CyHi The Prynce, Teyana Taylor, Hit Boy and Omarion working on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation!
