MTV News' bright and opinionated roundtable is back. Yesterday, the team crowned Wale number 10 in "Hottest MCs In The Game" and today Big Sean debuts at number nine. With the release of his first album Finally Famous, featuring tracks with Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown, Big Sean gained an immediate fan base. It's those loyal supporters and his own determination to release his album in spite of his label's fears that launched Kanye's protégé onto the list. And while three of News' experts felt Wale deserved a bump up to number nine, in the end Big Sean proves himself to be the ninth hottest MC in hip-hop.
Do you think he deserves it? Watch the conversation below, and on MTV2 Sunday, Feb. 19, at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, and join in the debate on Twitter using the hashtag #HottestMC.
