Retrieved on April 22, 2012. (Alternate ) link to the same article from the ''Orlando Sentinel''. "World Star is just basically shock video," said Nsenga Burton, an associate professor at Goucher College and editor-at-large for the African-American-focused website The Root. "They comb the pop cultural landscape for videos that are shocking on multiple levels and feed into peoples' voyeuristic tendencies.""〕 Created in 2005, the site averages 1.1 million unique visitors a day. Alexa ranks the site 247th in site traffic in the United States and 983rd for worldwide traffic. The site, operated by Worldstar, LLC,〔Granick, Jennifer. "(New Year, New Job )."

==History==
Lee "Q" O'Denat started the website in August 2005 as a distributor of mixtapes.〔http://whois.domaintools.com/worldstarhiphop.com〕〔 Shortly after the website's beginning, hackers destroyed the website. O'Denat later restarted it as a content aggregator.〔 Thereon, World Star focused on hip hop beefs, and softcore pornographic video models, which were previously popular through "street DVDs" such as Smack, Cocaine City, Come Up and other raunchier counterparts. O'Denat used the setup of OnSmash.com, a website which had already been distributing that sort of material. O'Denat said that this led to tension between the two websites. He added "Once we went 100 percent video, showing that original hood stuff, we prevailed."〔
The P. Diddy promotional video of Cîroc vodka premiered on World Star.〔 As of 2012, Black Entertainment Television (BET) voted World Star Hip Hop as the "top hip hop and urban culture website" for three years in a row.〔
On August 5, 2014, Deadline reported that a Paramount was working on a film based on the site. Russel Simmons is planning to produce the film.〔
