Nicki Minaj cracks MTV's Hottest MC in the Game list
Eminem, Jay-Z and Kanye West are with her every beat
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj managed to do today what no other female artist before her has done: she landed on MTV’s Hottest MC in the Game list. Minaj comes in at No. 6. Who came in higher than she? No. 1 is Eminem, and then Jay-Z, Kanye West, Drake and Rick Ross.
The artists on the list were chosen by an MTV braintrust (no jokes...) based on the MCs shyme skills, commercial success, web presence, business ventures and cultural influence. In other words, the list is totally subjective. It's the third year the list has been compiled.
Rounding out the top 10 are Lil Wayne (7), Waka Flocka Flame (8), B.o.B. (9) and Ludacris (10).
