We tried holding back the tears while watching this hilarious “Best Internet Videos of 2012″ recap, one of the hardest things having done this year. Our great friends Complex Magazine and Miss Info TV teamed up to bring us some of the most hilarious hip hop based internet viral videos of 2012. You know, the videos that were so obnoxiously funny and we wondered how they became so popular. Videos like Lil Reese beating up a female this year, or a day in the life of DJ Khaled who apparently has an assistant to take off his watch and hand him Gatorade. Check out the hilarious video after the jump. Farewell 2012!

We can’t forget to mention this years hip hop highlight, where a news reporter at President Barack Obama’s inauguration party repeatedly mistaken Will.I.Am for Wyclef Jean, and then Wale, but hey who cares, they all look the same right? Gotta love subtle racism. Check out this hilarious recap below.. Thanks Complex & Miss Info!
