Rick Ross Is MTV's Hottest MC in the Game

Rick Ross has beaten rap rivals Drake and Kanye West to land the title of Hottest MC in the Game in a new MTV poll.

The hitmaker was named the best rapper alive in the annual MTV survey, thanks to the chart success of his album Self Made, Vol.1, and his features on a number of hit tracks, including Lil Wayne's John and Meek Mill's Ima Boss.

Ross was followed by Drake in second place and West in third.

Nicki Minaj and her mentor Lil Wayne rounded out the top five in fourthand fifth place, respectively, while Jay-Z and Wiz Khalifa also make appearances in the top 10.

Speaking about the honour, a proud Ross says, "I just got the news thatI was voted the game's Hottest MC, and man, it really means a lot to me,of course, but it's an honour.

"It's something I've been watching, something I've been a fan of forever. Of course, MTV, they run the game".
