‘One Maps’ Maponyane predicted the virtual war that would engulf once the list was released.

A virtual hip-hop war is going to break out today. #SAHottestMCs

When the list was released, many twitter users spent some time agreeing and disagreeing on which other rappers should have been on the list, while others argued who should have taken the top spots.

The more I look at this list I can't understand how there was no space for Ifani! Maggz can just escape this top 10. #SAHottestMCs

Khuli Chana in the top 5, really? What has the nikka done this year? #SAHottestMCs

Every single one of those bo m-rapper in the top 10 is lucky that @ProDankieSan hasn't been 'active' in 2014. #SAHottestMCs

But it would appear a lot of the noise on twitter was about Casper Nyovest beating AKA.

they placed K.O #1 bcos they didnt want to go through the troubles of deciding who should be #1 between Cassper & AKA #SAHottestMCs

"@ayandamak: I am lost for words.. ????????????????“@Thu_ways: Lol https://t.co/d5yRQAtDIQ”"the reason behind AKA being #3..#SAHottestMCs

I called KO for song of the year, so this works for me. Still think Cassper should be number 1 though.. Biggest upset tho is no Ifani mxm!
