Drake says he had a lot to prove since last year's Hottest MC In The Game list.
According to MTV >>>
Drake made his debut on MTV's Hottest MCs in the Game list last year, landing at #3.
The nod was due largely to his breakout mixtape, So Far Gone, on which Drake's mix of melodic R&B crooning and biting rhymes propelled him to stardom. This year, the rapper released his first album, Thank Me Later, refining his formula and transforming from rookie sensation to bona fide hit maker.
According to Drake, it's his consistency from a standout mixtape to his successful debut that marks his candidacy for this year's upcoming list.
"I think I had a lot of pressure and a lot of things to prove," Drake told MTV News. "And a lot of the comments last time were, 'He didn't have an album out and he's still a mixtape rapper. He has a lot to prove.' I think with Thank Me Later, it was a solid delivery on a high-pressure situation."
