This week’s Wired 25 takes one last look at the Summer of 2012. After knocking out the best albums, mixtapes, and songs of the last three months; Hip-Hop Wired takes a look at the most influential figures of the Summer time.  Whether it happened to be a DJ, a personality, a label, a rapper, producer or athlete, the Summer was a time for winners; and there were plenty of them.

The good music (no pun intended) came in many forms. Kanye West and Rick Ross both staked their claims for their crews, 2 Chainz and Big Sean continued meteoric rises to success, and Gabby Douglas and LeBron James showed that “these ____ couldn’t hold them back.” Hit the jump and check out the 25 biggest winners of the past three months.
