Fine, Let’s Talk Sh*t About This MTV Hottest MC’s List

Sweet baby jesus knows I don't want to talk about this MTV Hottest MCs list. But I've gotten enough emails/tweets over the past 24 hours to make me feel like it simply must be addressed, and I don't want to deny the citizens of RefinedHype Nation a chance to talk some shit, so here we go.

First of all, MTV (aka Sometimes Music is Played in the Background of 'True Life' Episodes Television") has as much credibility in deciding who the hottest MCs are as that homeless guy down your street who always walks around with a stuffed parrot.

Second, the key word here is "Hottest", which is a completely meaningless term I guarantee MTV will use to defend their obviously ricockulous picks. It's not "best", it's not "dopest", it's "hottest". And I assume MTV means "hottest" in the "how many times we've covered them on MTV" sense.
