*DISCLAIMER* I am NOT associated with any of these artists nor am I affiliated with nor did I assist in any way in the production of any of the music featured. I am an impartial judge. I am not a rap producer nor am I looking for a rap artist but I know exactly what makes a hit record. I have been monitoring every musics video that has been uploaded from the 252 in 2012 but even though there are some very good videos and artists out there that would have been included if the ranking was extended beyond only 3 videos. This video is NOT monetized out of respect for the artists. Copyright laws averted for the purposes of reporting and critic.
