Music | Ghetts 'Who's On The Panel?' [video]

As a freelance journalist it's my job to give an informed opinion on today's issues. This was the plight of the music execs who were on the panel of MTV's (first ever show) Top MC's of 2010.

Over the weekend MTV's panel had to discuss the Top MC's - note it was Top MC's of 2010 not One's To Watch for 2011! Well, unfortunately for rapper Ghetts his name didn't even make the list and this has obviously caused some upset for the rapper. The joke is that each of the journalists (my fav' being Hattie Collins lol) and UK music execs had a very difficult job and weren't going to please everyone!

Once the show aired it created an uproar of different MC's throwing their toys out the pram and not being happy with the final list. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at this, it's still causing some upset and more specifically it's caused rapper Ghetts to make a video in response to this list.



So do you agree with Ghetts, or should there be other names on the list?

How did the panel decide who made the list:

The Best Of The Best: UK MCs 2010 was a list designed to shed light on the achievements of 10 MCs from last year, and last year only. The list was compiled as follows; each panel member, and additional music industry professionals who weren’t available for filming, submitted a list of 10 nominations for whom they felt were the best MCs of 2010, based on the following criteria:

· Buzz – Which MCs created the most attention online, on radio, on TV and in the streets?

· Impact – Who were the most successful? Which MCs influenced the scene commercially and on the underground?

· MCing ability - Whose lyrics, flow, delivery and content were the best?

· Acclaim - Which MCs got the most ratings from DJs, journalists, critics and the fans?

· Swagger - Which MCs set trends, introduced new styles and sounds, as well as elevating themselves to new levels?

Once all the lists were compiled, all the names were averaged and scored. MCs got points from 1-10 for their positioning on each of the panels lists and bonus points for how many times they appeared on a single list.

So who made the final cut? Did your favourite MC make the Top Ten?

1. Tinie Tempah 2. Dizzee Rascal 3. Skepta 4. Pro Green 5. Wiley 6. Giggs 7. Devlin 8. P Money 9. D Double E 10. Chipmunk & Lowkey 

If you missed the show, it airs tomorrow on MTV Base at 9pm

P.S Why do I have a sneaky suspicion that this whole situation is not over, but rather it's just getting started? lol
