MTV - Best Of The Best UK MC’s 2011 - Part 1

MTV Base have just released part 1 of their Best Of the Best UK MC's 2011 list and while this list seems to be a lot more better constructed and insightful than their last offering I am sure there will be a lot of Grime and UK Rap fans who will question some of the comments and choices made by the panel which is comprised of Charlie Sloth,JP Patterson,Hyper Frank,Posty,Morgan Keyz and Nadine Scott.

A few things which stood out to me initially are:

1.Skepta dropping from last years number 3 to this year's Number 8 MC

2.Lowkey receiving a Number 7 placement although he has Toured,Recorded and sold more Music than half of the MC's on the list and his fan base is one of the strongest in the UK 

3.Ghetts receiving a Number 6 placement although his work rate and quality of tracks from 2010 - 2011 has been outstanding to say the least.

It was good to see Artists like Blade Brown,DVS and Krept and Konan receive recognition on this years list.

What are your thoughts on the List this year,Which artists were missing from the list,Is this list relevant? Remember this is a list which Tinie Tempah and Dizzee Rascal were 1 & 2 last year with an absence of Wretch 32 and many more.
