Sure, there are a ton of videos on YouTube wherein random potheads offer lessons on how to roll up a fat-ass blunt. But why listen to some loser who probably lives in his mother's basement when you can get a lesson from pothead extraordinaire Snoop Dogg? Besides, standing next to your monitor lighting up a roach clip of some dirt weed while he blazes up some hydroponic spaceship medicinal strain you've never heard of is about as close as you're gonna get. Nothin' but the stickiest of the icky!

#9. Waka Flocka Listens To A Track Dissing Him (2010)

You ever wonder about the look on a rapper's face when they first hear a dis record someone made about them? We certainly do. That's why we were eager to watch Waka rock a Band-aid like a '03 Nelly and listen to a dis record a rapper named 45 Tha Feva made about him. Waka bops along to the song—which is a freestyle over the "Hard In The Paint" instrumental—but he isn't the least bit impressed. Instead, he offers a couple of clever quips including,

#8. Kanye West Shouts Out Complex (2010)

During his recent UStream broadcast, Ye made a passing reference to Complex's Editor-In-Chief Noah Callahan-Bever by saying, "My friend Noah from Complex..." Sure, it wasn't the most epic thing ever for most people, c'mon—

#7. Diddy, Fabolous, & Red Cafe Got Plenty Money (2010)

Did you ever think you would read a sentence that read, "Red Cafe Got Plenty Money?" To be honest, we're guessing the money is all Diddy's and not Red's (kinda like his publishing), but still, look at these guys! Diddy claims he won the money while in Vegas but let's be honest: He's got thousands of dollars laid out on the couch just so he could stunt in front of the camera. Not only that, but he puts the money into what looks like a pillow case. Seriously? Did this guy just rob a bank? Get a duffel bag, Bad Boy.

#6. Lil Wayne Hits The Mute Button (2010)

When Lil Wayne denied Shanell was pregnant during a UStream broadcast, it was the exact thing we expected him to do. But things got interesting when one annoying commenter named Ricky kept asking Wayne where his "boo" Shanell was, even though both of them had repeatedly denied dating. Wayne got so annoyed that he hit the mute button and taunted Ricky saying, "Come see me in the streets, Ricky!" If we were Ricky we would have just written, "I'd love to, but aren't you going to jail soon?"

#4. Nicki Minaj Leaves A Message (2009)

Nicki Minaj must really love her fans. That's probably why, when a fan named Tatyana asked Nicki to call up her ex-boyfriend Kevin live on UStream, Nicki was happy to comply. Although Kevin didn't pick up, we still got to witness Nicki leaving a bizarre tirade on his voicemail that included the phrase, "Number sign, sit yo' ass down!" Nicki must have forgotten she was on UStream and not on Twitter. #socialmediafail

#3. Bow Wow Impersonates Lil Wayne & 50 Cent (2008)

Remember when Yung Berg claimed 50 Cent was trying to get him to dis Bow Wow? We have a sneaking suspicion it might have been because of this video (among other things). In this surprisingly funny clip, Bow Wow gets his Eddie Murphy on by doing a couple of dead-on impersonations of 50 and Weezy. He even gets their cadences and word selection right as he makes fun of Wayne's 60 Minutes interview and just about every 50 Cent interview. His impressions are so good, we demand he stay in Wayne's character for the entire duration of his next movie role. Because that's really the only way we could stand to watch him "act" in any film.

#2. 50 Cent Pranks Shyne (2010)

We don't blame Shyne for being foolish enough to dis 50. After all, he's been in jail for so long that he's missed just about all of 50's incredible beefing antics. So we weren't surprised at all when 50 pranked Shyne while he was on UStream. In fact, we're glad he did it—now when our rich friends go on vacation to some tropical resort, we can always call them up and say, "You can't go to war from a fuckin' island!" We wish we could have seen Shyne's face when he realized it was 50. Oh wait, we can! UStream rules!

#1. Lil Wayne Ethers MaddenChamp (2010)

Just before heading off to Rikers Island, Wayne did a broadcast for all his fans. But not everyone who was watching was a fan; a user named MaddenChamp dissed Wayne and told him to go to jail. His remark upset Wayne so much he tells his fans to make #fuckMaddenChamp a trending topic on Twitter. Weezy went on to declare, "If it's a male, he's a fag. If it's a female, then it's a ugly bitch." But it doesn't end there. Wayne keeps going in on him and says, "Your mother sucks green dicks and drank red cum, she's a colorful bitch!" Whew! Good thing we didn't actually make that jail joke when Wayne hit mute on Ricky.

BONUS: Joe Budden After Getting Snuffed

Although this wasn't actually on UStream—Budden held his broadcast on BlogTV.com, which is pretty much the Myspace to UStream's Facebook—it's still a live video stream and it's just too classic for us to pass up. After rumors spread that Budden had gotten snuffed by Raekwon and some goons, Jumpoff went and did a live stream with a ice pack on his face and admitted what went down. Sorry, but we gotta call Joey a fool for this one. Sure, honesty is his MO, but this ain't no mixtape track for your Internet solders to devour, this is real life! You should have just done the Rick Ross routine and denied 'til someone had pictures. And even after they had pictures, kept denying until everyone gave up and realized the only thing that mattered was if you're making good music twisting out Esther Baxter.
