    2010 has been a year of many things for hip-hop, and rappers on Twitter is one thats towrads the top of those things.. As Twitter released their 2010 Trends List, Drake had reigned supreme at the #2 spot on the Top 10 Most Retweeted List, losing to Stephen Colbert. Drake even beat out his Young Money cohort Lil Wayne, who ranked #3 on the trends list.

     Drake, who Tweets as the name @drakkardnoir, is known for sayin sensitive shit in tweets like "I know you're the one...the cloest I've come" and "I did not become someone different...that I did not want to be. But I'm new here...can you show me around?" to which his tons of fans and those in need of a good quote will spread throughout the Twitterverse. Other people on the Top Retweeted List include Kanye West, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga. 2010 was enough of a year for Drake already, as his debut solo album Thank Me Later earned him a top spot on the Billboard charts and is certified Platinum.
    
     The Twitter Trends list also brought some surprises to the table, including an appearance by Lil' Kim.The former Junior Mafia mistress sat at the #5 throne of Twitter's "People" list, sharing spots with Mel Gibson and Justin Bieber, who earned the #1 spot.
   
      With Twitter Trend results including so many rappers, it's inevitable evidenece of Hip-Hop's gradual move into the world of technology.
