Drew TewksburyThis year Twitter has been and endless source of insane and awesome tweets coming from musicians from across the universe. Remember when 50 Cent's twitter threats? Guffaw-worthy. What about Courtney Love's naked pictures? Dios Mio!

2. 50 Cent
The rich-as-hell rapper tweets incessantly, delivering the latest news on what he's bought, who he wants to fight, and ladies he wants to take to the candy shop/ let them lick his lollipop. If you're having trouble with his tweets, try getting them translated into the Queen's English.
