There are only two spots left on MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game list. Kendrick Lamar should get one of those two remaining slots.
Rap-Up TV caught up with the Compton rapper to get his thoughts on the list.
“It’s very important for hip-hop,” K-Dot said. “I love that they have debates like that. We need that. It’s competitive. Even though we doing these collaborations and stuff like that and we cool, at the same time, this is still rap. It’s still competitive and I’m trying to compete with everybody to be the best.”

Already facing a 2-years in federal prison for tax evasion, Beanie Sigel was hit with an additional 6 to 23 month sentence after pleading guilty to drug charges on Wednesday, according to NBC Philadelphia.
The former Roc-A-Fella Records rapper, whose real name is Dwight Grant, was riding in a car that was pulled over by Pennsylvania State Police on Interstate 95 in Tinicum Township last August. Police searched Sigel and found a bottle of codeine syrup, prescription pills and $4,500 in cash. Cops also found a gun in the car. The Philadelphia artist was taken into custody and has been in jail since that time. His August 29th arrest came just a day after he released his latest album, This Time.
The 39-year old entered his plea of guilt to a misdemeanor count of illegal possession of Percocet in a Media, Pennsylvania court yesterday. Judge Michael F.X. Coll handed down his sentence.
“Mr. Grant has been a successful entertainer and musician in the Philadelphia community for decades,” Sigel's attorney Carson Morris said. “Obviously, he's had an incredible amount of success and opportunity in his life. He's also made some mistakes, which have ended up putting him in custody. He's ready to go ahead and put that behind him and move on with is life.”
Morris added that the plea agreement called for the drug sentence to run concurrently with the federal sentence.
Gerald Andrews, 41, the car's driver, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a gun charge and was sentenced to 2-1/2 to 5 years.

There has been some head shaking at some of the rappers on MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game list. Not only have fans questioned some of the placements. but artists A$AP Rocky and Kanye West weren't happy with their spots.
However, the choice for the No. 4 spot will probably get a lot of approval from just about everyone.
Nas was snubbed at this years Grammys, but maybe being recognized at the No. 4 hottest emcee in the game will ease the sting of being overlooked by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences yet again.
In 2012 Nas released his eleventh studio album, Life Is Good. The album made it's debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart by selling 149,000 copies in its first week.
The record received four Grammy nominations and produced the singles "Daughters" and "Bye Baby."
Esco also found time to record a couple of features last year. He appeared on Nicki Minaj's "Champion" and Rick Ross' "Triple Beam Dreams."
Coming in at No. 3 on the list is Rick Ross. The Miami rapper released his fifth solo album in 2012, God Forgives, I Don't. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling selling 218,000 copies it's first week in stores.The project produced 3 singles, most notably "Diced Pineapples" and received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.
In addition to dropping an album, Ross released two mixtapes last year, Rich Forever and The Black Bar Mitzvah.
