Worldstar Hip Hop reveals its true purpose. As we already know, the gossip and stereotype spreading anti-journalism site has no love for the truth. They exist to profit off the perpetuation of barely true statements and scandalous rumors. But every once in a while they show something positive or critical of the endless negativity such as Lady Luck reciting a heartfelt acapella called “Are We There Yet?” or Supanova Slom criticizing gang activity at a recent conference put on by Hakim Green in Newark, NJ. Both videos received mostly high praise in the comments section except for die-hard haters who frequent the site to criticize everything anonymously or gang members deeply brainwashed by tricknology.
Worldstar was not satisfied with that however. Just one week later, the geniuses at Worldstar find it necessary to try and destroy any significance those two positive videos created by presenting “contradictory” images of both Supanova Slom and Lady Luck. Why would Worldstar be invested in defaming the only two positive stories they showcased in the last month? That is the big question, because the “contradictory” videos are not even contradictory when taken in context.
To discredit Supanova Slom, WS offered up a music video he did for a love song called “Midnite”. Slom is pictured with his shirt off singing/rapping in a tone reminiscent of Prince, to a female. On its face, this looks like homage to Prince done by someone who is a fan of his music, nothing more. Yes the singing is somewhat effeminate but anyone who knows Slom, knows that he is an eccentric performer. He is known to wear wild outfits, is heavily tattooed and tries to create unique shows mixing multiple music genres. And with the way he carries himself in everyday life on the streets of NYC, you would not think he was gay despite the insinuation of most comments posted on this video.
To counter the positive message Lady Luck released as the intro to her new CD, WS posted a video titled - Lady Luck (Feat. Babs Bunny) - Runaway (Luck Gets Her Booti Slapped on Camera). In the video Luck is pictured looking very feminine in tight spandex pants and glossy make-up at a backyard bbq, playing wiffel ball and dancing. At one point a guy grabs Luck on the behind and shakes her thigh as she sits across his lap. She laughs, as the scene goes by in less than 2 seconds and the dancing and frolicking continues in this light-hearted, inoffensive rap tune. What is the big controversy? As I stated in my last blog, Lady Luck is an attractive female who often dresses down (more masculine), which is a testament to her desire to be taken seriously as a lyricist. Some question her sexuality and ask if she’s a lesbian which seems completely irrelevant to these two songs though.
What is the relevance of posting these two attempts at controversy? Well, to do just that, create fake controversy. There is nothing wrong with either of the songs, unless you don’t like that style of music. WS called the Slom video - Supa Nova Slom (Blood Crip Who Was Speaking Truth At A HipHop Community Call) - Midnite [R&B Unsigned Hype] taking care to contrast this “less-masculine” video with the statements Slom made. To generate views and comments WS is in the business of creating “news” and controversy. For positive stories the only reaction is to go negative. WS has shown over and over that they have no love for anything positive and will denigrate and defame anyone who tries to portray it, with slanderous insinuations. WS not only thrives on negative images, racial slurs, ignorant behavior and the promotion of criminal activity, but they create negativity out of positivity. They actively try to turn something positive for the community into something its viewers should question. For all the videos of fake gangstas rapping murder, death and drug dealing does WS show a rebuttal video of them at home with their kids playing? No, they don’t. They let all those videos ride without critique. On the internet I looked for info on WorldStar, which is not Hip Hop but a mockery of it, and found very little info. You would think that with all the accusations of illuminati ties to so many rappers, someone would have looked at WS. I mean, what or who would possibly be behind such a low-life agenda of feeding misinformation and divisiveness to the world on a daily basis?
I did find some interesting clips on YouTube though. Only one highlighted Lee ‘Q’ O’Denat the supposed owner of WS himself. The content of what he was saying was questionable to say the least. But it may provide some insight into one of the reasons there is such a slant on homosexuality and sex in general on the site. Don’t get me wrong I obviously look at the site as a person interested to some degree in the lives of celebrities and what is supposedly hot in music today. I just hope for the day when someone creates a site with more integrity, common sense, and love for real Hip Hop. VladTV and AllHipHop.com are not as bad just a little stale at this point from being around so long. Thisis50.com has a unique platform and set of followers but comes off biased toward certain artists at the end of the day. So the point is to find better, reliable, more trustworthy sources. Do you have any suggestions?
