Video: 1515 Boys on Em Leading Hottest MCs Poll
via MTV:
Marshall Mathers has an army of supporters, and thanks to them, Eminem has risen to the top of the fan voting in our Hottest MC poll. With 40 percent of the votes thus far, he’s pulled ahead of Joe Budden and 50 Cent, who had been the leading vote getters in the weeks since we opened the poll. Now that those votes are being factored into this year’s official list, it seems fans are aware that the stakes are higher.
Due to the whopping 420 percent increase in voting, we decided to delay revealing the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust’s list and let you guys weigh in. We’re encouraging everyone to continue to be engaged in this conversation and cast your vote for the Hottest MCs in the Game until September 21.
When the poll closes, we’ll tally up your votes for the top 10 along with the votes from the Hip-Hop Brain Trust. The official list of the Hottest MCs in the Game will be unveiled this October.
Vote here.

my boy said he voted twice and watched Em’s tally go from 20 % to 32% in a matter of 6 minutes, not sure how true that is, but he isn’t the bullshitting type so take it for what its worth

Season 2 (the port) was a major interruption in the whole damn series.
Season 1 was action packed and exciting another damn menace 2 society and then you get this drawn out feud between some polish cops and a long ass story line to find out who killed some women. And don’t get me started on that lame boring ass chick who worked at the port.
The only good thing I can say about it is that it shed some light on shyt that actually goes down behind the scenes. And it created a way for the series to end at s5.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
nigga i teared up when the boy bodie died…no homo…
how u gonna say kanard?
because he shot omar? and dropped the pistol?
nigga bodie made it thru 4 seasons, kept finding work, and didnt run when chris and pooh came to get at him…
boy u crazy…
and avon was your typical paranoid dope dealer…he made irrational moves because of his paranoia…
August 19th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Im not gonna lie .when they killed Bodie I got REALLY emotional. Emotional like, pause TiVo go outside and smoke a square emotional. I could relate to that nigga ..I need a second

Season 2 (the port) was a major interruption in the whole damn series.
…. smh …. season 2 is about how the drugs get in the country (who owns the boats) where the drugs branch out to besides the ghetto and sets the stage for the politics, smh @ a huge chunk of the story being an interruption as I said it is wildly underrated by most …. not to mention the entire prison storyline…. smh ….
August 19th, 2009 at 8:02 pm

You right but it still was too long and boring. They should cut that in half and took it back to the streets.
Marlo had zero character development, he came outta nowhere. They coulda spent time building him up.
I never respected Marlo for that reason. How you just gonna show up one day with 2 shooters and be THAT NIGGA?

In regards to the Wire, I’m gonna have to say season 3 >1>2>4>5. Co sign 2 being underrated, I’ll also say that 4 was slightly overrated. 5 was too condensed and lost a lot if realism in am attempt to tie up loose ends. With that said, every season was incredible.

SIDEBAR ATTN BUDDENS FANS LOL… I find it real odd. That you couldn’t get JOEY IN THE TOP 200 BILLBOARDS ! LAST TIME I CHECK METH RECENT ALBUMS WAS… LOL —> Dave Chapelle Voice “WU-TANG”
Despite a huge, loyal fanbase and intense presence on the Internet, lyrical supergroup Slaughterhouse failed to live up to their HitsDailyDouble projections on their Billboard 200 debut.
Last week, the industry website estimated that the group, consisting of Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I and Royce Da 5’9”, would sell between 23 and 25K CDs in its first week on the shelves. On the contrary, the crew’s self-titled disc ended up selling 18, 000 units, securing a no. 26 debut according to the Nielsen SoundScan.
At the top of the charts for the 10th week in a row is the Black Eyed Peas’s The E.N.D. Notching up one spot to no. 3 this go-round the Peas bagged up another 45,300 discs this week, making their overall sales figure stand at 917,400.
Sliding down six more spots this week to no. 16 is Brooklyn MC Fabolous. Fans of the Def Jam rapper picked up 23,700 copies of his latest album, Loso’s Way, this week— bringing his three week total to 159,600.
Four spots down is rap heavyweight Eminem at no. 20. In its 13th week on the charts Relapse was been scanned 20,600 times— making the Detroit lyricist’s overall tally 1,361,700.
Failing to make it onto The Billboard 200 was New Jersey rep Joe Budden. With little promotion, the self-proclaimed “best rapper on the world wide web”’s new solo set, The Escape Route, sold 1,700 units this week
August 20th, 2009 at 9:44 am
look at this faggot above me. do you thing sound scans have anything to do with quality music? slaughterhouse > blackout 2.
and i couldn’t even find the slaughterhouse cd at targets or best buys. shit is wick wick whack.
