Drake Doesn't Have "50 Cent Hype"


50 Cent has a point, in my opinion. When 50 Cent first came onto the scenes, he didn't really need advertising -- he had the streets to back him up. At the end of 2002 and the beginning of 2003, the 50 Cent buzz in the streets, shopping malls, and local record stores and after all of that, he made it to the main stream. Drake is a great artist and just a few months ago he was virtually unknown and had a very underground fan base. Drake's success seems sudden and in-genuine.

I Don't Understand People's Logic; Michael Jackson's Death

First and formost, RIP Michael Jackson. He was a great performer and the greatest of all time.

Okay, time to tell what's on my mind. It's always sad to see a celebrity die. What I don't understand is the reaction of friends and co-workers that surround me. Some of these people only have heard a Michael Jackson record once or twice in their lives and some of them haven't listened to a Michael Jackson record in 10 years! When he was on trial for child molestation, most of these people doubted him and really thought he did the crime. Now these people are sad to see a legend gone? I don't see the logic.

My point, Michael Jackson has been a legend for a couple of decades now. You should have appreciated him while he was here. If you were a true fan, you shouldn't have doubted him during the trial. I can bet that most people weren't even thinking of Michael Jackson before June 25, 2009. Not even a thought, not even a record being played. You have to appreciate people while they're here. And not just celebrities, I'm talking about family and friends. There shouldn't be any regrets after a death, just happiness. Don't wait for a tragedy to happen.
