It’s the YouTube of urban antics — and a formerly homeless ninth-grade dropout from Queens is the mogul behind it.
Hollis native Lee “Q” O’Denat makes sure WorldStarHipHop.com is “real, raw and uncut” — and peppered with such videos as one of cops grinding with near-naked dancers at the West Indian Day Parade.
Millions check in on the site each month to view the latest rap videos and such scenes as a woman dancing near a Bronx chicken joint with her bra outside her shirt or one stripping naked on a Bronx sidewalk.
Catfights are really popular. A June brawl at Downtown Brooklyn’s Pathmark shows women tearing off each other’s wigs.
“It’s not sugarcoated,” said O’Denat, 37.
Launched in 2005, the gritty page has become the 259th most popular in the nation, according to Alexa, a Web site-ranking service. It had 4.9 million unique US visitors last month, up 27 percent from a year ago, say comScore analysts.
O’Denat, a father of three and now in Arizona, would not discuss earnings but has full-time security and stays in four-star hotels, not bad for a kid who left Grover Cleveland HS, lost his home and lived out of his car.
He launched his site to stream video submissions just after YouTube kicked off in ’05. It had netted 142 million page views by last month, comScore reports.
“People,” O’Denat said, “relate to the realness.”
