Updated Apr 24, 2021In the spirit of MTV's now-discontinued "Hottest MC's in the Game" year-end list, I ask the members of our community to rank the "hottest", or most popular rappers of 2020 from #1-10. Note that this is not a subjective ranking of your personal favorites. Instead, the selections should be based more on quantifiable criteria such as commercial success, cultural impact, relevance, year-long consistency etc.

Nas outsold a lot of those dudes including Benny & he's about to win a Grammy.
Plus had collabs with Jhene, Lil Nas X, Big Sean, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, etc.
Kodak even begged him for a feature a few months ago.
Add Nas and Gibbs tbh

Big Sean did 100k first week but i didn't include him bc it came and went
King's Disease similarly had little to no staying power, nothing really took off
