Yesterday Kanye West vented on a phone call with Hot 97's DJ Enuff about MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game list and him being place at No. 7. Obviously Kanye felt like he should have been ranked higher and kind of threw a backhanded diss at Sway Calloway by saying he gave him his first television.
This morning on Shade 45 Sway responded. He said that it was his idea to come up with the list and he doesn't vote on it because he knows artists can take things personally like Kanye did.
Sway said people like Rob Markman, Shaheem Reid, Nadeska Alexis, Ramon Dukes, Tuma Basa and Yomi Desalu help put the list together.
Each person on the panel makes up their own list, which in turn is pared down to a master list. From there the debate begins. Not everyone agrees with the choices, so a vote is held and the majority rules.
Check out the full interview up top.

Audio After The Jump
Many people were surprised when it was announced that Nick Cannon would be playing the role of Freeway Ricky Ross in an upcoming biopic. In a new interview with MTV, Ross explains that he had other well known actors in mind before ultimately settling on Cannon.
"I spoke to Will Smith about the role. I had a couple meetings with Jamie Foxx about it. Larenz Tate, I was really serious about Larenz," he said. "I spoke to Don Cheadle a couple of times about it. Columbus Short, I really, really liked Columbus Short for the role, but at the end of the day Nick's willing to help me build the project. He's willing to get in the trenches and roll up his sleeves and fight because I still wanna have some control."
Ross' real life story is one that Hollywood screenwriters couldn't dream of penning if they tried.
In the early 1980's, the 53-year old Ross, real name Ricky Donnell Ross, ran a multi-million dollar drug empire from Los Angeles that supplied cocaine to New York, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, St. Louis, New Orleans, Baltimore, Seattle, Cleveland, Kansas City, Oklahoma,, North Carolina, South Carolina, Cincinnati and Kansas City.
During his time as a cocaine dealer Ross reportedly made $600 million.
Danilo Blandon
Ross was ultimately betrayed and set up by his supplier Oscar Danilo Blandon of Nicaragua. Blandon worked with the CIA to bring Ross down.
Gary Webb
In 1996 journalist Gary Webb wrote a series of articles for the San Jose Mercury News titled the "Dark Alliance." Through his investigation Webb uncovered a link between Blandon and the CIA-backed Nicaraguan Contras. Webb alleged that the CIA knew about the large shipments of cocaine to the U.S. and Ross, and that the proceeds helped fund the Contras.
"Basically, Gary’s story was proven true. They admitted they knew these guys were selling drugs. And I don’t believe Gary ever said in his report that the CIA was the actual perpetrators of the crime. But if you go with the conspiracy theory that the government uses to convict, the evidence that they had, you could convict on that evidence. A jury could find [the CIA] guilty," Ross told The Pasadena Weekly in April 2010
The same year that Webb wrote his story Ross was sentenced to life in prison. His sentence was reduced to 20 years after a federal court appeal. It was later reduced even further for good behavior. He was released from prison in September 2009 after serving 14 years.
Ross' biopic is being penned by famed actor/director/screenwriter Nick Cassavetes ("Blow" and "Alpha Dog"). According to MTV, It will focus on Ross' early years, between the ages of 17-25, which played a part in the 32-year old Cannon getting the role over older actors like Foxx, Smith and Tate.
"I been watching Nick since like '96 when I was in custody in San Diego and that was one of the times when I was at my most tuneless time with the world, because I was incarcerated and I also had a life sentence," Ross told MTV. "He just reminds me of myself, just he took a different turn, he went to entertainment and I went to the streets."
