I was watching the BET Awards after party & I heard Big Tigger say something interesting. When referring to Drake he said "I never seen someone without an album blow up off mixtapes". Now of Course everyone on this site knows that's exactly what 50 did 7 years ago but it got me wondering. Who buzz was hotter at the beginning of their career? 50 Cent or Drake?
50 man its obvious, it p***** me off when i see that people forget everything that he has done, specially when they say someone like drake & lil wayne are better
50's buzz was crazy. Everyone and I mean everyone loved 50 back then. With Drake its hit or miss some people love him and some people hate him. Personally I dont like his music but I dont hate him, his just not my style of rapper.
obviously 50 had a bigger buzz... drake has 1 hit and (imo that song is horrible) i live in tororto and i dont hear any hood niggaz bumpin his s*** and hes supposed to be a toronto rapper.. when 50 first came out ppl were comparin him to pac and said he had a buzz bigger than biggie... this thread fails hard... and if you didnt notice the media has been forcing this drake guy in the public's face, hes not high in demand ppl dont give a s*** about his future like that until he shows some consistency, right now hes a 1 hit wonder....
I don't know man! They mentioning him at world wide award shows. He just sign with Lil Wayne label & hate him or love him (Lil Wayne) he have to be considered the hottest rapper right now that was the same move 50 made when he sign with Eminem. I do agree it feels that he's being forced on us but you can't deny they're going a good job forcing the issue. I'm in Chicago & all we hear all day long on our airways right now is 50% Lil Wayne, 20% Drake, 20% Kanye & 10% other. Yes they was comparing 50 to Pac but they're comparing Drake to nothing which means he's something new, & we both know how the public want that new thing.
I SAY DRAKE
I CANT TURN ON
THE TV WITHOUT
HEARING HOW GREAT
HE IS
WITH 50 THEY WAS
JUST TALKING ABOUT
HIS STREET LEGEND
BUT WITH DRAKE
THEY TALKING ABOUT
HIM AS THE NEXT BIGGIE
THAT HAPPENS TO BE ABLE
TO SING
SO I HAVE TO GO WITH DRAKE
50 of course!! Drake will never sell 12 millions on his first album. 50 been discovered by Em', made a song for 8 mile's sondtrack and before that he made the album "Power of the dollar" and that was an underground success. Drake got a good EP, he been discovered by Wayne and got a real buzz but it's not real hip-hop to me, that's more hip-POP you know so... i say 50 with no doubt!
