With the amount of twitter traffic he's caused, Ghetts should get a frickin medal. Within hours of the Top 10 list being released, Ghetts had make a video showing his 'displeasure' at how he wasn't mentioned. Then, he decided to make a track called 'Who's on the panel?'

Orginal list
1. Tinie Tempah
2. Skepta
3. P Money
4. Wiley
5. D Double E
6. Devlin
7. Wretch 32
8. Professor Green
9. Giggs
10.Maxsta

Revised List
1 Tinie Tempah
2 Dizzee Rascal (added)
3 Skepta
4 Pro Green
5 Wiley
6 Giggs
7 Devlin
8 P Money
9 D Double E
10 Chipmunk and Lowkey (added)

I quite like Ghetts and think he's talented but what people are failing to understand is the fact that it says Top 10 MCS and NOT grime artists. They also don't seem to get the fact that it was not about who is the best, just the top 10. Hence, why the list had to be revised. This is a list of the successors of the industry from last year. People need to calm down and stop getting offended. Did Ghetts get to number 5 in the charts like Pro Green? No. That's why he's not on there. Why was Dizzee Rascal on there? Because he plays at Glastonbury.

It seems like talent wasn't the most important factor. Logan Sama, Ras Kwame, Charlie Sloth, Chantelle Fiddy, Hattie Collins, Elijah, Stanza, Ara, Donatella and Joseph ‘JP’ Patterson are some of the most respected people out there. They are the biggest promoters of grime, and most of them have probably supported people like Ghetts. It's obvious to any fool that the list isn't based solely on talent. So I can think of a few gums that need to be hushed. These people aren't stupid. It wasn't based on personal preference. It was about how accessible and successful these people have become.

'Since when were we talking best MC... next time i'll stick with John Barnes' -Chantelle Fiddy

'it isnt a list of 'Best Grime MCs'. Try and watch programs before you comment on them -Dj Logan Sama'
