Best of the Best - MTV BASE Top 10 MC’s of 2010




MTV Base aired The Top 10 MC's of 2010 on Sunday. A few music experts put their heads togehter and discussed the best MC's of 2010. The panel of judges were: Chantelle Fiddy (Mixmag), Elijah (Butterz), Hattie Collins (RWD), Logan Sama (KISS), Ara (The Jump Off), Joseph ‘JP’ Patterson (MTV), Ras Kwame(Broadcaster), Charlie Sloth (1Xtra/Radio 1)Stanza (True Tiger and Donatella (Flava) and the show was hosted by Vis from 1Xtra.

This list was always going to be controversial, only 10 MC's to sum up 2010 is hard to put together, on who get's left out and who get's put in the list. Reports state that apparently the list was changed just before being released due to pressure. The original and changed list is shown below.

Max, radio presenter from 1Xtra had soemthing to say on it all and she didn't hold back.


 'I have been in the game long enough to have an opinion and not be fake. MTV BASE tonight aired their Top 10 MC’s of 2010 as decided by a bunch of music industry folk. This Top 10 was said to be based on success heat and ability. However 2 major names in the game were left out Dizzee Rascal and Chipmunk, due to pressure the list was changed a day before filming the special happened, Lowkey was added as a late addission to … I feel it’s important for you the music fan to see what really goes on behind the scenes sometimes. I want to big up Steve Stoute one of the most influential men in the game for inspiring me to share this list after his open letter to the Grammy organisation for being unfair.' She added
'How can you leave out 2 artists that have made such an impact in music, Dizzee has had 7 straight numbers 1’s, Chipmunk has had a sold out tour put out mixtapes and featured on some of the biggest street tracks recently including ‘Pow 2011′ and ‘Gameover’, and only add them due to pressure. And let’s not forget the criteria set by them success?? not your
fav MC???'
Ghetts and Klashnekoff had something to say and decided to show all on youtube. I think that because Ghetts hasn't stayed quiet about this shows his passion. Check it out below.
