VIDEO: Waka Flocka Flame Named #8 On MTV's Hottest MC's Of 2010 List

Ok, so here we have our first “WTF” moment. Not taking away from anything Waka Flocka has accomplished thus far in 2010, and ya’ll know I’m a huge Waka Flocka advocate but the basis of this man’s positioning was purely off those three songs (“O Let’s Do It”, “Hard In The Paint” & “No Hands”).

While I can’t argue with that claim, when this list was birthed, Flocka’s album had yet to be released (an album I still think wasn’t necessary). And if you remember last year, I went “Hard In The Paint” against Sherbert’s placing because he TOO didn’t have an album out. And what about his longevity? I know the list is 2010 based, so this probably cancels out this claim, but where’s the lasting power within Waka’s material? Shouldn’t that be a vital pillar when making a debut on one of these lists?

And like Steven Roberts said in the above clip, hip-hop is much more than a street audience. B.o.B. DID open for Jay-Z and Eminem for their Home To Home stadium tour and has charted THREE  #1′s on Billboard. Ahhhh this is a tough one. I’m torn. I need a Four Loko. And I’m telling you, if Fabolous is left off this list, he’s going to be the one chipping someone’s tooth lol. #DEADASS

Thoughts?

I just walked in from dinner with Mama and Poppa LowKey, checked my email and saw this. Ground Up is an unsigned group out of Philly with a new mixtape hitting the streets on November 16. I’m digging the first song “Highlights” but not so much the second. Either way, I’ll be requesting more material from these young lads. Be on the look out! Oh and if you’re looking for more info on them, check their website HERE!
