#1 Jay-Z MTV Shows Here's the Top 5 Hottest MC's of 2009 conducted by a panel of MTV's Hip-Hop enthusiasts and the fans (according to Sway). I didn't go with what most blogs were doing and decided to hit you with the top five (videos) only. The other 5 out of the top ten goes as follows: #6 Gucci Mane #7 Young Jeezy #8 Fabolous #9 50 Cent #10 Raekwon I'm curious to see if Jeezy will speak up about Gucci Mane being one slot ahead of him on the list and also Rick Ross having a substantial lead on Fiddy. My only observation is...no mention of Eminem or T.I. whatsoever?? Interesting... The rest of the Top 5 Videos are after the jump. #2 Lil Wayne MTV Shows #3 Drake MTV Shows #4 Kanye West MTV Shows #5 Rick Ross MTV Shows Thoughts?

Even though I'm not a big fan of Birdman's music, I can definitely see this joint taking off on the strength of Drake and Wayne. Birdman's new album 'Priceless' is coming soon. Thoughts?
