Not only is Willy Northpole's "The 5" interview officially Tweet-worthy -- witness the real-time Twitter-ing! -- the segment reveals the Phoenix rapper's (at least partial) motivation for breaking into music: the ladies, topped only perhaps by hotel maids, who service him like magic.

And speaking of that Willy Northpole Twitter account you should probably be following right now, this self-admitted Internet junkie's Twitter realness led to a feud with... MC Hammer? That Twitter is a double-edged sword, huh? Anyway, the beef's squashed now -- and something tells me Willy wants credit for putting the Phoenix rap scene on the map, not for fostering quips such as "too legit to Twit!" -- but I just had to mention it.

Watch the video below to discover more about Willy's day-to-day, which includes the dangerous (so I hear) routine of comment-checking, as well as info on his debut album, Tha Connect, and single "#1 Sidechick."

+ Watch "Hood Dreamer" after the jump.
