How This Platform Became Irrelevant | What Happened To WorldstarHipHop

[@nosidezero]

Worldstar in the 2010s really felt like the last breath of 2000s internet. It was an important and influential platform for better or for worse.

[@doyadirty3804]

No it didnt. It felt like the time it was cus 2000s internet was more pics and gifs and a music playlist in the corner of the screen hiddem so u think where to this music comin from.. it was written blogs n forums. Even youtube wasnt around like that in the early 2000s. All these apps were websites first

[@ghty181]

Important? Lol

[@Disxreet]

No tf it wasn’t 💀💀💀

[@NanaJet2K14]

Hot take

[@ShamanTiers]

Worldstar was always trash

[@jerseygetsherwetter345]

remember the vine compilations and twerk video compilations??? 😂😂😂😂 good times

[@astrovision1]

I remember those fight compilations like it was yesterday 😂

[@kenrealnoob2148]

VINEEEE! @elonmusk bring vine back

[@sonthadon43608]

Factss 🥰

[@TbellNoTacos]

Used to look forward to those like Jordan releases 😂

[@bmwsexgod8343]

Bro the vine compilations were a must lol so was WSHH after dark 😂

[@chapterblaq]

Between WSHH and LiveLeak we all saw so much shit we can't unsee. A different era fr fr

[@keenanhadnot5764]

Yea wshh vines . Was the last time it was great

[@TheBlackScatPack]

I don’t really miss that mess

[@AiirxGeordan]

Ong I was telling somebody worldstar was just liveleak lite 😂

[@Roasty420]

Liveleak was crazy! Fights, gore videos, twerking, porn, it was a mixed bag of craziness.

[@mijajajaja]

FR, I saw a video of my dude after he'd been shot and killed on Live Leak. That messed me up for life

[@HowieKrakk]

I remember when worldstar was almost like a short-cut to build a career

[@jerseygetsherwetter345]

fax literally one post on the channel gave so many niggas a career

[@QueenRenne]

Or a shortcut to jail or a graveyard. 💯👀💅🏾

[@HowieKrakk]

@@QueenRenne your decisions that you make during your success; isn’t Wshh fault 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@zaywitdachoppa5975]

In like 2015 when I was in 5th grade every time there was a fight, someone roast each other or a teacher doing something wrong we would all just yell “ WORLDSTARRRRRRRRR”

[@trentcanaday9564]

Couldn’t go one fight without hearing worldstarrrr at least once

[@Nemo71340]

The comment section used to piss me off, people wouldn't even talk about the video it would just be a bunch of weirdos talking to eachother about irrelevant stuff and making racist jokes like a chat room.

[@riza4086]

After the whole bot problem they had the comments most def started to look like bunch of people randomly having a chat about each. Very very odd in my opinion.

[@joao3547]

you mean like IG and twitter

[@SoSikWitIt]

same as all the other social media platforms beside fb

[@noyes.]

@@SoSikWitIt No bro the internet wasn’t as retarded as it is today

[@RowdyJr]

​​@@riza4086 It would usually be one of those NPC bot convos where it starts off as the first comment talking about some money investment and how much they earned and then I clicked on the 'view comments' and saw so many bots using real people profile pics and then the convo started off to look real asf and then the stupid shit goes on and on like.. wtf am I reading !? 😂💀

[@bkkillafromda6170]

Worldstar was straight up neglected after Q died

Word shit died with him sadly

They messed up not creating an App..

[@Los4rmdagang4]

THIS

[@Prodydworthy585]

They been had an app just didn’t update the interface or make it interactive.

[@ToneyFranco]

@@Prodydworthy585 Yea the app was weak AF 😢

[@eloquenceiskey]

They did have an app

[@cbreezy]

They’ve had an app for years, I think more than one too, but they’ve all been trash (not even just buggy) since they came out.

[@lordjoyous]

World star couldve rivald KZbin. One thing they couldve did was get all the hood movies record labels were making in the early 2000s and upload them and encourage independent film makers and podcasters to use them as a platform. I wouldve transformed world star for the better

[@Shay416]

Yo, was money and violence first on WSHH??

[@RowdyJr]

I remember when world star fan boys were beefing with lyrical lemonade fan boys about who's rap music channel is superior and better 😂😂 It was like target vs walmart, apple vs android, mcdonalds vs burger king, etc etc.

[@GamesGraphicsHDPRO]

Rip Q, i remember paying that $750 to get my music video on back in the day lol

[@Anatoliys_Adventure]

Damn you must have been on it early as hell. I remember by the time I was aware of Worldstar that shit was up to $15K

[@Rolling2Much]

[@80sBaby510]

WSHH ran the early 2010’s FACTS… RIP Q🙏🏾

[@CatDaddyMane]

They messed up with the ads and how they started deleting old fight videos.

[@destroyerarmor2846]

KZbin doesn't preserve the internet nowdays. It's pure business

[@anothergamingchannel2656]

Funny thing is if you used the actual site and ran an ad block you wouldn't get them for a long time. And even when I did, if you just hit the view comments button it would skip the ad 😂. I think they finally fixed that these days though

[@ilovedwjful]

It also fell off cus hella incels an racist be in the comments

[@Swagtastic225]

Facts lool

[@lil_693]

That's the internet in general

[@Rieky22]

Nah it’s because it was kinda too much degeneracy also

[@thesquad2253]

But if u think about it the racist were probably right with all the evil stuff ppl were doing in the videos they confirmed every stereotype

[@welfare_baybee]

Yeah, I’m sure it had nothing to do with all the black degeneracy that was being highlighted every day

[@tnechannel2649]

It's the most ratchet , trashy and ungodly website ever created 😢

[@mvmpalace]

They had the best compilation viedos fr. RIP Q

[@bigxavipg]

It went from World Star to Tik Tok

[@kookiehughes8940]

No, it went from Worldstar to Vine to Tik Tok

[@singharajusai]

@@kookiehughes8940 no it went from worldstar to vine to musicaly to tiktok

Obviously all of us who are not gen alpha would prefer WSHH and Vine over bull shit tik tok 👌

[@KingOfCharlotteNC]

​​@@RowdyJr Facts. TikTok is for wimps. WSHH is for the real ones.

[@anothergamingchannel2656]

Around the time I stopped using it they constantly were posting tiktoks and I started calling it "worldstar tiktok" instead of worldstar hiphop

[@AYAKXSHI]

WSHH Twerk comps was that fire growing up

[@Thatdude877]

Bro the fight comps were some of my favorite videos to watch

[@Kai...999]

I remember when a fight broke out everybody and the mama would yell worldstar. Man the world changes fast. I love it. Also World Star was debauchery but it was also a place of entertainment. It was definitely both.

[@noyes.]

You a real one for putting the Basedgod in the video family 🙏

[@notmychairnotmyproblem]

Kat Stacks reposted my nails once a few years ago. I wonder what she's up to now.

[@ting280]

look at that medialab exec team. that's why hip hop sucks nowadays. we're not running our own shit. we're just contributing and consuming.

[@bigxavipg]

[@sip_water]

yo as a white guy just gonna point out they ain't ours either. heyward changed his name from horowitz and says he's j on twitter. telehowski and gross are j names. vignone might be white but a lot of the tribe take on italian names look up conversos.

[@brots3]

Why?

[@dopenerdaroc3211]

they whacked Q ... thats how

[@umisoulflower3122]

That’s the same thing I was thinking he just got that show w bet it was only one episode in wshh was doing numbers then he js die of cardiac arrest like huh

[@code_red7744]

Early 2000s 50 Cent was diabolical

[@MrEOM41]

Remember we used to yell “Worldstar” 🗣️ 😅

[@umisoulflower3122]

I still go on there from time to time in honor of Q his death was crazy and he was just fina take off w his own show and everything and js died really sad and unfortunate so the least I can do to honor someone that brought black media to the forefront I will continue too til it’s no longer rest in peace Q 🙏🏾

[@ToneyFranco]

WSHH Eye Candy was when it up! Now it’s bullshit 😂😂😂

[@Issacglass-sf4vd]

Yea world star died when everyone started using the phones and not the laptop or the computer ngl.

[@nezzylearns]

I’m in the middle too. Because the innovative thinking of releasing exclusive music videos was brilliant but it did promote violence but some of that violence was funny 😂

[@andresito619]

good times waking up every morning and checking worrldstar! the fight compilations were the best

[@zach4968]

Lots of good stuff came outta that site but lets be honest. When the wider publics entire perception of you is some punk screaming WORLDSTAR! then knockin out a old person literally just walking down the street, your days are numbered

[@OshoML]

I miss those fight compilations 😢. Another 🔥🔥 vid 🙏🏾

[@vegasroller7026]

Everybody forgot how much of goofy 50 was around this time 😅

Comment section and videos became to focused on race baiting smh

[@Jay2Stoney]

I remember all the wild fights i would see and how whenever someone would fight "World Star" was always screamed lol

[@PaulDJPStewart]

Well done job, a few more things that led to their downfall was when every wack street rapper/drug dealer label etc paid to have their video's highly promoted it clogged up the system, and the views were so obviously inflated you lost trust with the site, to me that was greedy, they stopped trying to curate what people wanted and just let the thirstiest pay for top slots.

[@Los4rmdagang4]

Crazy Bill O Reilly acting like he fucking cares😂

[@YaNice117]

If I remember correctly, I stopped catching World Star around 2013ish. I shared the same sentiment as the guy who called in on thr Sway show. But I will admit, when I was watching it in the early days, I definitely enjoyed it. Funny though that I never even knew who the owner was and that he died. Black man at that.

[@streetwearjimmy]

Same here. Honestly, as a 23 year old in 2014 I checked out from worldstar as well. The website does nothing for me being in my 30s now, but there were a lot of good times in the early 2010s

[@djayforever]

Well when you feed off chaos the chaos is only interesting for so long

Seeing 50 get angry is actually kinda scary negl

[@richardofredemption]

[@vegasroller7026]

Trust it’s a front he only did that to people he can get over. Anybody too big for him he’ll ignore and act like it didn’t bother him. His shine in rap faded when he couldn’t get over on Rick Ross in the beef.

[@KDBetter]

Q started the site using 50 likeness though.

[@sbrooks904]

he was scratching and clawing for his spot at that time

[@fr00tloops]

I remember when lil peep passed away they posted his video on world star but they took it down and put it on his channel instead. I was a bit sad because I thought that would’ve solidified his place in hip hop. Looking back on it today, it was a wise move on his team to put it on his channel instead. City morgue feels like the last act I recall now who can claim their fame from the world star channel.

Vine comps (minus the thirst traps at the end) and fight comps were must watch for me back in the day on WSHH. Also liked the jokes and conversations in the comments before the anime and drake kids took over, which was like back in 2014 so I thought it fell of then

[@caylaflower_iii]

I could never watch them. They were so visceral. I remember this one that looked like it was in NY and two chicks were fighting. A dude (a boyfriend, I assume) walked up on the fight and started very nonchalantly sta*bing one of the girls fighting. I guess to help his gf. No one noticed but the guy filming. He kept filming. That was the last fight comp I watched.
