Lil Scrappy's G's Up TV
Beyond his contributions to the world of southern rap, Lil Scrappy has been dominating the online video charts. His web series "G's Up TV" regularly gets over a hundred thousand hits -- that's 100,000 hits PER VIDEO -- making it one of the most watched shows on YouTube.
Intercutting interviews (conducted in what I'm guessing is Lil Scrappy's actual living room) with video diary segments, this is a surprisingly well-produced and insightful series. Here, in episode 7, we find out exactly how rapper Skittles got his name (abridged version: because they come in different colors, just like his hos), before discussing Scrappy's relationship with his mother.
It's cool stuff. Just be prepared for a whole lot of n-words. They be flying about, yo.
