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.

Ask a Gay Man: Denim Edition
Warning: This podcast is not for the easily offended or the conservative at heart.
In his YouTube series, self-pronounced "gay man" Williams Sledd provides the viral community with valuable fashion advise. A Queer Eye for the Straight guy of sorts, Sledd is a 23 year old from Kentucky with an “eye for fashion.”
With nearly a million viewers, the enthusiastic 20-something uses slightly brash and offensive language to talk about the latest trends. In this denim edition, the “gay man” and his femme co-host talk about America’s favorite pant.
Note: Boys those carpenter jeans are a no-no, “unless you are a carpenter”.
