Kanye West isn’t happy with MTV’s latest “Hottest MCs” list. West complained to Billboard about the top spot–and surprisingly, didn’t think he deserved it. He did, however, take exception to his placement. But he believes YMCMB superstar Lil Wayne should’ve gotten #1.

“Yeah, I just think… him and [Jay-Z] and [Eminem] and certain people are just the greatest rappers of all time,” he said.

“I feel like in order for them to put me at #7, they had to bring up things they didn’t like — like the Cruel Summer album,” he added. “They don’t like Givenchy Kanye, they don’t like Kanye in a kilt, they don’t like Kanye in a relationship.”

“I said, ‘Lucky I ain’t have Jay drop him from the team’ — ain’t no bar of the entire past 12 months hotter than that one bar,” he said of his Kris Humphries-referencing line from last year’s single, “Cold.”
