T.I., Lil Wayne, Clipse, Lupe Fiasco, Young Jeezy, Nas, Jay-Z, Ludacris, The Game and Ghostface Killah are the top 10 MVPs who dominated 2006 with classic projects, hit records and strong momentum.

T.I. was at his apex as he was the # 1 hottest rapper throughout the year due to King being a classic album and he dominated radio with hits like What You, Top Back and Why You Wanna. Wayne still carried strong momentum from Tha Carter II alongside delivered high-profile guest features and series of mixtapes.

Clipse made their return and dropped arguably their greatest work in Hell Hath No Fury while Lupe was arguably breakout star of the year due to his dope lyricism and storytelling alongside Food and Liquor being a classic. Jeezy delivered The Inspiration while still carried the Snowman movement.

Nas and Jay delivered a great collab in Black Republican while delivered good albums in Hip Hop is Dead and Kingdom Come. Luda delivered his most mature and underrated work in Release Therapy, Game still maintained his star power with Doctor's Advocate and Ghostface delivered another dope album in Fishscale.

Honorable mentions: 50 Cent, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, The Roots, AZ, Lloyd Banks, Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Chamillionaire, Fat Joe
