MTV recently unveiled their 10 MCs in the Game list, for which the network's hip hop journos took into account the rappers' work in the past 6 months to a year. Even though this isn't about career-spanning accomplishments, the list barely makes sense: The Game is No. 3? Jim Jones is on the list at all? Lil Wayne, in a triumph I'm sure will please a few Stereohypers and infuriate 50 Cent, took to the No. 1 spot. Here's what he had to say.

"I saw the preview [of the show], and if I'm lying, I'm flying: I was like, 'Who won?' … I'm glad I won. Yaaa dig! Don't stop believing in me. They say I'm the Hottest MC in the Game. If you label me that, I will live up to it. Trust me."

I guess that means he's happy?

The interesting top 10 and MTV's honorable mentions after the jump.
