Fall Out Boy bassist thinks the verses on Run This Town'should clinch Hov the title.
The MTV News Brain Trust will declare their verdict in October, but in the meantime, the hip-hop community has been in full-on debate mode on the Internet. We're not sure if Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has cast his vote in our online poll, but during a recent interview, Pete did have some strong opinions about who should make the list.
Pete Wentz: "I would say that the title [of 'Hottest MC'] goes to Jay for 'Run This Town.' His verses on that are worth it alone. It's insane," he said. "It pretty much explains how everything went down. Best rapper alive to 'rewrite history without a pen.' I would give it Jay."
Wentz, without a shadow of doubt, is highly anticipating Jay's next, already-assumed-classic album.
"That cover is gnarly, dude," Wentz described excitedly. "It's like the U2 of hip-hop, dude. I'm gonna put myself way out on a limb," he joked, "but I think it's gonna be awesome."
Don't forget to vote for Jay-z from now through September 21 to have your voice heard.
