In the wake of much uproar at MTV’s “Top 10 Hottest MC’s In The Game” list, the crew over at The Rap Up decided to put out the bat-signal for ready and willing writers to assemble from all corners of the internet to contribute their own “Top 10 Rappers” and create a cumulative list. While ultimately another opinion poll, the theory is that you’ll be somewhat familiar with the contributors (collectively dubbed “The Bloggerati”) and their taste in music, making this list possibly more representative to you; the non-MTV consumer.
