0 MTV Explains Eminem's Absence From Hottest MC's List

Via MTV:

Eminem's ranking was one of the most discussed topics at the Roundtable. His
hotly anticipated return to hip-hop after a long absence drove first-week sales
of over 600,000 — the highest first-week sales of the year so far. He granted a
handful of select interviews here and abroad, and was part of a massive moment
with Sacha Baron Cohen at the MTV Movie Awards.

But then Em retreated to the lab, where he spent the summer crafting Relapse 2. From June to September, Em all but took himself out of the public eye, while other MCs generated week-to-week heat with mixtapes, guest appearances, performances and Web activity.

He returned in September with comedic moments and a win at the
VMAs, then dropped a verse on Drake's "Forever" (also featuring Kanye West and
Lil Wayne). The song's move into heavy rotation came subsequent to our
roundtable vote. In between, he kept his profile low.

Eminem is one of the best ever on the mic. His track record is undeniable. The Hottest list deals with right now, though. If the Brain Trust had compiled the Hottest list back in May, there's no doubt Eminem would have made the Top 10.

Im just saying if you have to create a whole article as to why a particualr wasn't on the list, he probably should have been on the list....what about T.I? He still dropping videos and songs and he's in jail....
