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!

To spread a bit of holiday cheer, the Ruff Ryder himself, DMX accepted the challenge of singing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” Not only did he rise to the occasion by reciting all of the lyrics word-for-word, but he added a beat and his own touch the only way DMX can. Most of us can probably do a great impersonation of how this would go, but click above and see for yourself. Happy Holidays from the Team Civil!

The man of the hour, Drake is more than likely going to be all over the place with the release of his sophomore album Take Care hitting stores tomorrow. Above he is featured on the cover of next months Complex Magazine. In this issue, Drake speaks and comments on everything to his fame and what he fears. A few excerpts from the magazine are below. Be sure to get Take Care tomorrow and go and get this magazine when it hits newsstands.

They nitpick at everything,” he says, shaking his head. “I can’t do anything. All they want me to do is dress so they can make fun of me. Otherwise, it’s hard for them. I don’t give people many reasons to dislike me. They have to find shit. They’re like, ‘Aw man, sweaters! He wears sweaters too much.’ Like, what?

Drake on his fears: Dying, before I accomplish all this,” he says as the waiter arrives. “That’s it. My father taught me: ‘Don’t fear any man. Don’t ever fear another person.’ I don’t get myself mixed up with stupid shit. I get a lot of love. I don’t feel tension. I stand 6’2″. By no means am I the most threatening guy in the rap game, but there are very few people who will come up and say that shit to me in person. It’s always all smiles. That’s one thing I do not fear, anyone in this game. Nobody. Especially none of these guys that are paid to talk shit.
