We're comparing pre-deal buzz. So tell me, pre-deal... how the hell did 50 have a bigger buzz than Drake does now? Regardless of who's "working the record", he still has 2 songs on Billboard, cosigns from EVERYBODY in the industry, 2 performances on national television, and a video for a mixtape song coming out. 50 didn't have ANY of that when he was unsigned.

Do you even remember the years 2002-2003?

To put everything into perspective, 50 did physically in the streets, nationwide and internationally what Drake is doing via the internet. With co-signs from all of the same people, minus the backing and marketing dollars.

How much more "organic" does that get??

Oh! So I guess 50 cent

• Ghostwrote for Dr. Dre before he was signed
• Worked with several major female singers
• Worked with Jay
• Had several established artists on his mixtape

And i'm not even Drake riding, but you got to look at it how it is. Drake's music is more wide-ranging and suitable for giving him a bigger buzz. Talkin about "organic" and all that. If you want to go that route then fine, Papoose 4 years ago had a bigger "organic buzz" than 50 did (and signed for more than 50 did) with NO ONE backing him at ALL except Kay Slay. And you know ain't no one was "working" his $%%% behind the scenes.

Now watch all these fools switch their style "Oh yea but 50 was on the radio!!" when they were just talking about "organic" and "keeping it in the streets"

You 50 dudes slay me; you're as bad as Jay-stans but at least Jay has the catalogue to back it up.

Point is, you loose either way. Drake about to sign for twice what your boy did to record labels that gave 50 the boot when he came in to their offices, yet he has the "weaker" buzz.

• GHOST WROTE FOR PUFFY. "MAKE THIS MONEY, TAKE THIS MONEY" Negative
• Beyonce "Thug Love", J.Lo "Im gonna be alright" (the original version was 50 not Nas)...when he was signed TO COLUMBIA
• Yes, The original..... JAM MASTER JAY Yea... because working with (NOT COLLABORATING, JMJ WASN'T A RAPPER) old school artist to collabing with NT's hero is really equal Imagine if 50 worked with Jay when he wasn't signed and I said "Yea well Drake worked with JMJ!" You think that would be a valid argument?
• Had several established artists on his mixtape..... Nas, Mobb Deep, Juvie...agan when he was SIGNED TO COLUMBIA
  

Tell me why i'm not even a 50 cent fan yet I know more about his career than you All those features were made when he was signed to Columbia... after they dropped him he went to Canada and recorded the rest of his solo stuff

Sit down. You lost.

you should really do you research lil n' . 50 did ghostwrite for puffy (google it). J.lo song came out in 02, 50 was dropped from columbia in 2000. and 50 didnt get into mixtapes until after he was shot. you can have me for lunch, your the one that doesnt know what he is talking about. Wheelchair Jimmy is wack, if he would have came out in 03 he wouldnt have stood a chance, now its cool to be a #%+%%.

All I get when I google "50 ghostwrite" are 20 articles saying that 50 cent has a ghostwriter for his Twitter .Come on... even Diddy does his own tweets...

That Columbia comment was made in reference to the "Thug Love" track, fool. The J.lo track was when he first signed his current record deal

50 got you on payroll or something? Give up.

Yea... the fat lady's singing.
