Young Jeezy Wants To Make His Own ‘Hood’s Hottest MCs’ List

MTV Shows

Young recently told us he has his own ideas for the Hottest MCs list, saying that we should make a “Hood’s Hottest MCs” of the realest street cats in the game. He would even like to sit down with some of his rap friends and make up a list.

“Even with me, when y’all first put in the bracket, some people think different,” he explained. “Some people wanna be a lyricist. Me, I wanna be real. It’s gotta be different categories.”

Jeezy does agree you could be real and not be hot. “You can,” Young noted. “There’s a lot of cats that do. You gotta get that list though. There’s a lot of cats underground you might not even know about that everybody listens to.”

Jeezy also notes that when the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust makes their Hottest list, they shouldn’t include legends against some of the younger artists.

“You shouldn’t put a Nas on there. Or a KRS-One. That’s crazy to put those cats in the same category. They think differently. That’s why we should do mine. … It’s gonna cause more controversy than you think. People gonna be calling being like, ‘He ain’t really like that.’ ”
