Rick Ross tops out MTV’s annual “Hottest MC” list. The roster of talented rappers include, Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and more…

Ross, who was slated to release God Forgives, I Don’t in 2011 released a mixtape instead, yet he still claimed the number one spot despite Drake who unleashed Take Care.

MTV reports:

“The truth is, Rozay’s 2011 reign didn’t hinge on an album release. The Bawse set things up properly in February of last year when he signed his Maybach Music Group record label over to Warner Music Group and scooped up newcomer Meek Mill (this year’s #7 Hottest MC), Wale (#10) and later Stalley. Musically, Ricky Ro put his team in position to dominate with the label compilation Self Made, Vol. 1. Rather than taking all the shine, Ross passed the baton to Meek, who delivered “Ima Boss” and “Tupac Back.”
