World Star Hip Hop is a hip-hop website that brings you daily videos from all different kinds of artists. The viewer can see videos from your average independent artists all the way to the most influential mainstream artists. When the website first came out it was a good source for hip-hop followers to go to and find out what was the latest hip-hop news and music videos, but now it has become a place where artist have to pay to get exposure. I feel that once sponsors came into the picture and the creators of WSHH found out they could generate a lot of money from their site the original idea was steered away from. I frequent the site and now when you go to it you can find anything from music videos to porn and even gag reels. It is not just a hip-hop website anymore now it has become a place to put shocking material to attract viewers. I think the founders are using hip-hop to generate revenue instead of providing its viewers with what they want.
Everyday millions of people go to WSHH to get their daily fix of hip-hop and other non-sense. This website is destroying an art form single handedly by giving viewers a lot of negative information mixed in with far fewer positive music videos. Hip-Hop has influenced a whole culture of people; as a matter of fact it influenced American Music, as we know it today. In order to preserve the culture of hip-hop we (hip-hop community) as a whole need to focus on the positive aspects instead of exploiting woman and violence to make a buck. I think that people that have been following the website from the beginning understand all of the rubbish that has to be filtered through in order to get to the substance. WSHH if you are reading this can you please go back to the drawing board. You have made enough money from the exploitation of hip-hop in a negative perspective. It’s time to uplift the culture again.
