Worldstar Hip Hop on the rise   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2027 of 2623 |
The 15th highest rising search term on Google today is
"worldstarhiphop". The name of their site is also one the highest
rising searches this year, related to "hip-hop".

I love that they decided not to give away their content/traffic/brand
to YouTube and I hope the ad dollars roll in for them.
