Reason Mocks The 2021 MTV Base Hottest MCs List

South Africa’s Hottest MC list for 2021 is out, and it didn’t bear the name of Mzansi rapper Reason. And he’s unimpressed – not only because he didn’t make the list but because other established names in South African rap were missing on the list as well.

The list had Blxckie at the top (No. 1), followed by Big Zulu. Others like Nasty C, A-Reece, 25k, Priddy Ugly, and K.O also made it to the list.

Reacting to the list, which was without his name, Reason appeared amused, tweeting, “Mhhhhhhhhhmmmmm, no comment,” followed by a laughing emoji.Reason Mocks The 2021 Mtv Base Hottest Mcs List 2

Fans thronged the comments to discuss the meaning of his tweet. Some fans appeared curious why names like Cassper Nyovest and Costa Titch were missing from the list.

One fan, who goes by the handle, @ PrinceThams, noted that hottest MCs and dopest MCs are not the same. Hottest simply means the artistes of the moments – musicians whose songs are trending. And dopest means musicians who have been dropping great numbers over time and are still relevant.

By the way, the list has almost always ignited controversies. When Focalistic won it a year ago, not many supported his win, forcing the “Ke Star” muso to ditch hip hop for amapiano.
