We’ve officialy survived the first week of 2012. While 2011 ended rather abruptly in music – as in a bunch of album releases followed by a drought – we did find some mixtapes (Fabolous 
, T.I. , Raekwon , Rick Ross ) to keep us entertained well into the New Years celebrations. This is a historically slow period for music, giving newer artists some time to strut their stuff, while veterans looking for a second breath attack these coming weeks as well. Some artists won big this week, while others made their big debut. Check all of them out below.
T.I. Quintuples While 50 Cent Plays Doubles
T.I. had quite a week musically. His “Fuck Da City Up” mixtape arrived on New Years Day, and with it came a slew of tracks that made the internets shake. However, some of Tip’s appearances on the chart didn’t come from effing the city up. At #4 this week, his first Trouble Man leak with Dr. Dre “Popped Off” sits tight. Then right below it at #5 is the mixtape cut “Who What When” with Meek Mill. Under that at #6 is Tip’s cameo on the remix to LoveRance’s “Up.” Finally, at #9 is “Piss’n On Your Ego” with B.o.B. A few days later the alternate version with Game arrived too. So that makes five T.I. songs. Right behind him (but ahead of him still) is 50 Cent, who popped up with T.I. on the LoveRance track. More importantly, Fif took the #1 spot this week with “Girls Go Wild” featuring Jeremih. Looks like the pros are still taking over.
ScHoolboy Q Is Ready for 2012
Last year, Black Hippy (Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul) rocked all corners of Hip Hop in their own special ways. First Jay Rock came with Follow Me Home, then Kendrick Lamar dropped Section.80. Ab-Soul showed up all over the place on freestyles, collaborations, and everyhting in between. As 2012 starts, it’s ScHoolboy Q’s turn for the takeover. His new project Habits & Contradictions will hit the ground running on January 14th. This week, his song “Blessed” arrived with Kendrick Lamar. Perhaps it made the top listens because it was a slow week or maybe Q is just that good. Only time will tell to determine, but either way, welcome to the party, ScHoolboy Q.

How is that horrible song number 1? Someone explain to me how this site works? Look at the stats once the singles have put up. Ja Rule – Parachute has the best ratings, most ratings and best commnets…..Girls Gone Wild is a joke, I LMAO when I heard that. 50 trying to hit the high notes
because bitches like to dance.get out the house and get some pussy^^^
this site is either run by a bitch or gets paid to put people #1. That song from 50 has only 3,000 plays and a low rating and it has a small number of comments,meaning it is not even heavily discussed. So, wtf makes it #1? Shit is just stupid, this site is such a landfill.
sounds like U MAD!!!bro
thats how you treat your mama that bitch?
Yo no bullshit, listen to music don’t just go on your bitchass tendencies. I ain’t a %0 hater, I give props when it’s do, based on MUSIC. How are you going to listen to “Girls Go Wild” and “Parachute” and not see the difference in the quality of the music? I mean are you really hip-hop you damn retard.Numbers are numbers man, but if we go on music alone, every track on that list shits on “Girls Go Wild”. You just deaf and dumb you shit eatin’ retard.
wtf? ja rule at No3 spot, I checked that song it has 30k views on YouTube in 7months
Thats not even the song you fool..It half the song and not even the cd version. Look at HipHop DX singles..Parachute is what 3rd most discuess song for 6 months, and it was just put up there 3 days ago! it has a 4.80 rating with over 160 ratings…girls gone wild doesn’t even come close to any of that
Popped off is not from trouble man, its on t.i.’s mixtape
girls gone wild was played at the club yesterday and the girls went crazy…atleast here in CALI…its dope but popped off deserves to be 1
The 2 singles Ja put out for P.I.L.2 are insane, Ja is back on his A game and hes getting great reviews and fan feedback… Hope his album sells cause every great legend deserves a comeback…
dat 50 cent song is terrible that nigga is just wack now
Dr Dre, is still killn it.
That 50 Cent ft jeremih song had me wanting it to be soo hot but it did not deliver that hotness. I was pissed Jeremih worst feature i swear…………………….
