[Video] Diddy Agrees With Lil Wayne Topping Hottest MC List
Diddy said it had to be Jay-Z or Lil Wayne. Last week, before the final rankings of MTV News’ Hottest MCs in the Game list were announced, the Mogul agreed that a Carter should be in the #1 spot.
“I think battling it out for first place is Jay-Z and Lil Wayne,” Diddy told us of the Hottest list, which had Jay at #1 and Wayne at #2. “I’m gonna leave that up to the fans to decide. They definitely have taken the torch of Rakim, LL [Cool J], KRS-One, Biggie, Tupac. They have carried on the tradition of great MCs. When I was in [Madison Square] Garden the other day looking at the Jay-Z concert, I almost wanted to cry. I was looking at my brother. I was just looking at how he worked hard to get to this point. It was a moving moment, me being his friend and just a fan of his, to see how far Jay has come. Same thing with Wayne — knowing where he comes from and seeing him put Young Money together.”
Diddy said Weezy and his crew of new talent reminds him of when Bad Boy took over the game in the ’90s.
“I nod my head to Wayne, I tip my hat to him,” Diddy said. “I told him at the BET Awards. I said, ‘You doing the new generation of Bad Boy. You’re doing what we did back in ’94. That’s really creating a movement.’ I tip my hat to him, but now I gotta watch him because he’s competition. But he’s doing his thing. He’s gone from artist to label mogul, so you have to give him his respect.”
Jay-Z came in at #1, while Wayne took home the runner-up position — his third consecutive Hottest MC finish — and Drake rounded out the top three.
That’s cool that Diddy respects Weezy’s grind and success. Leave your thoughts in the comments.

that’s raw as shit that he respects weezy’s sucess and YM.
i accept that jay-z got number 1 because he is a legend… if anyone was going to be ahead of lil wayne this year… i’d rather have it be jay-z over anyone. lol.
<3 i love weezy. stay up wayne.
STOP USING AUTO TUNE WAYNE!
he would be much better of without it.
Wayne havent delivered shitt in 09 imo… btw im the biggest wayne fan ever, i just think he got a lil bit cought up with that auto tune shitt after lollipop.
Probably 95 % of his songs since then have been with autotune…
It sucks… I really miss the 07 wayne
:(
Anyone agree btw?
Yh I agree wit weezysbae if anyone is the hottest mc ahead of wayne tis hear its gotto be jay but still YOUNG MULA BABY
OK… but do anyone seriously mean that wayne has had a good year so far???
I cant mention one relly good song from 09 so far… Every girl is sooo played out each and every concert.
GET YOUR SHITT TOGETHER WAYNE… your much much better than this.
yea he jay-z is a good put lil wayne better
Weeezy got mad songs out this year we be steady mobbin told yall ima go getta then the newest shit he did wit lloyd and gudda gudda. the only auto tune shit was of rebirth
i like wayne on auto tune, sometimes. he has made some good stuff using it. but its just a creative phase he’s going through, he’s trying to keep things fresh as an artist, and its working for the most part
agreed on “go getta”. thats a hot joint. But its not that much auto tune. I actually liked the kobe bryant song. But he have made about 30 songs this year who isnt worth listening to more than 5 times.
I think rebirth will suck (i dont hope so).
How can Puff Daddy compare Young Money and to his lame ass Bad Boy Crew. Puffy is such a bitch
hahaha, so you sayin that young money is already a bigger success than bad boy back in the days. You must be dropp dead stupid Captain JJ…
Can anyone pls mention only 3 ggood songs from the young money crew?? (not just wayne and drake)
shut up norway, whoever you like, bedrock and every girl. simple. stop being wide
yea norway go suck a dick lil pussy the rebirth wil b a success im hopin i know ima buy it the day it comes out and waynes got really good songs out this year ya its been a great year for him hes got im goin in spit ground zero prom queen fix my hat down always strapped plus the remix hes got amazing songs and you like fast raps from him well than check out told yall that goes hard so obviously your not listening to him that much so dont complain that hes got barley any songs so shut the hell up ok? and to norway? im the biggest wayne fan ever… your obviously not… any ways i think that wayne should of had 1st place.
Ive herad all of the songs you just mentioned.
Prom queen is great song, hot revolver is a great song.
Allways strapped is what i call FAIL.
I hope the rebirth is going to be a success, but i doubt it BIG time. If you have heard the leaks they all suck!!!
Sooo to “weezys the best eva” you are a lousy wayne fan if you think that 09 has been a good year for wayne…
Lollipop, i fell like dying, sky is the limmit, pussy money weed, mrs officer, leather so soft etc…
THAT IS GOOD SONGS. THE NEW AUTO TUNE SHITT HIS DOING WILL TAKE HIM OUT OF THE GAME
Norway is right he only did okay this year mainly because he was promoting Young Money and you never know if those leaks will be official he did drop a couple wack snippets that were only short songs like Dopeman and Young Money World.
But at least if rebirth is wack the YM album wont be.
CA-Norway I agree with you that he has had a lot more auto tune than he should be able to get away with but you cant stay he’s had a bad year in 09. His tou made a record 42 million from Octove 08 to June 09. Along with that massive achievement hes also dropped some great songs. As you might have read Jay Seans “Down” is now #1 on Billboard. We be steady mobbin featuring Gucci mane is a street banger and every party i went to this summer i was sure to hear that song 2 or 3 times. To say hes had a bad year is just dumb. To say the quality of songs is weaker in comparison to 08 is agreeable. 2009 has still been an amazing year for wayne as a whole.
Nice comeback…. The 42 million dollar income from the tour wasnt i aware off. Just cant understand why “every girl” is being played at every single concert. I watched him in Oslo and that shitt was crazy in 07. Personally i think the song “down” is a catchy song whos is very very mainstream. Waynes performance is not that great there. I think his verse in “im at war” is dope though!
Maybe I was a little over the edge when saying that 09 was a bad year. But shitt im such a big fan, and this auto tune “period” is killing me. Hes such hardworking and talented artist,but the fucking auto tune sucks…
I REALLY miss the old wayne.
gucci all day
Lil Wayne? That dude is soo synthezised We might be listening to a donkey and wouldn’t know it.
