Here you can vote for your favorite artist. I voted Hopsin, because Tech has enough votes and Hop should be ahead of Mac Miller.

Here's an article about the 7 best crews reiventing the industry wheel in 2012.. (lol)
Hopsin and Funk Volume
Many acts will use YouTube as leverage for success, often resulting in a short-term goal being realized. Then they get marked as “YouTube” sensations, only to lose that momentum once they exit the online matrix. Hopsin is one example of an artist whose work on YouTube only enhanced his existing movement, but did so in a way that inadvertently made Hopsin an every other household name. Last year, the video for “Ill Mind Of Hopsin 4” released on YouTube. Currently sitting at well over 12 million views, the video shows Hopsin with his signature Thriller-esque contact lenses, standing in his bedroom with a bike helmet on and a t-shirt worn inside out spitting lyrics of young angst. Hopsin’s YouTube channel has collectively over 43.8 million YouTube views. While he and Funk Volume are very reminiscent of Tech N9ne and Strange Music, Hopsin’s crew is speaking to a new generation of Hip Hop fans. XXL Magazine even named Hopsin as part of its 2012 Freshman Class. While Hopsin’s wins have been piling on over the past few years, the upcoming release of his album Knock Madness will solidify the hard work he’s been putting into his music for years, both on and off YouTube.
