Top Hip-Hop Singles of 2012

Top 10 Hip-Hop Singles 2012


1. Swimming Pools

Pour Up...Drink! Once you hear those first two words, you already know the next part. The second this song hit the internet it was a huge success. This single definitely deserves to be number 1 on the list because you really can never get sick of the song. Kendrick Lamar really has out done himself this year.

2. I Don't Like

Chief Keef really out did himself with this song, well at least Young Chop did with the beat. This was a must like, must play, and must have song everywhere. This hit song got blew up on YouTube and caught the attention of a hip hop favorite, Kanye West. Although Chief Keef recently released album Finally Rich flopped and he has been in a lot of controversy this year, "I Don't Like" was a major success.

3. Thinkin About You

I bet that you're still singing this song? Frank Ocean took over in 2012 with this single. With 6 Grammy nominations and his album Channel Orange going gold, Frank Ocean demanded attention this year. Behind all of the controversy regarding his open letter, Frank Ocean still managed to come out on top.

4. Turn On The Lights

Future poured his heart out in this song, and we definitely can hear it. Future deserves every piece of credit this year, finally receiving some recognition for his work. "Turn On The Lights" brought Future to the next step in his career by getting him a feature on Rihanna's album Unapologetic.
 

5. Mercy

The G.O.O.D Music Crew dominated the summer with "Mercy." Although Cruel Summer wasn't what most of us expected it to be, "Mercy" exceeded beyond every expectation. "Mercy" was that song that you thought you got sick of, but when you hear it playing you can't help but to sing it. 
 

6. No Lie

Drake on any hook is a great combination, but this year Drizzy really out did himself. Being on a song with one of 2012 winners, "No Lie" was bound to be a major success.

7. Bandz A Make Her Dance

Juicy J really out did himself with this hit single. With perfect beat produced by Mike Will and the simple catchy lyrics to match, Juicy J bandz made everyone dance. "Bandz A Make Her Dance" was the perfect song for every party.

8. Birthday Song

Along with "No Lie" 2 Chainz released another hit single off of his album Based On A T.R.U Story, "Birthday Song" which features Kanye West on the song. I guess they are like Snoop and Dre because we just can't get enough of the two of them together. After this song everyone wanted it to be their Birthday.


9. Beez In Da Trap

Yes, 2 Chainz is back but this time he is featuring on Nicki Minaj's song "Beez In Da Trap." Debuted at number 1 on billboard "Beez In Da Trap" reminded us that Nicki is a rapper since she has turned pop lately.

10. Work Hard Play Hard

Last but not least Wiz Khalifa "Work Hard Play Hard." Who can forget this catchy beat and chorus? This song helped make Wiz the Rock Star he is!
