50 cent's going to quit his solo career if Kanye West outsells him....oh my gosh.....that's amazing.......that's top quality news for ya. But somehow it's got my entire school and the rest of the united states buzzing. Doesn't anyone see that this is just a mutually beneficial marketing ploy?
It's like those furniture stores who have the "Final Markdown, Out of Business Closeout, Prices you'll never see again!" Sales. The flashy commercial and radio ads run for a month, the place "closes" and then next thing ya know, the store is open again.....having the same sale!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if they're "rivals," or whatever, they both benefit from this idea. Both can sell even more by creating a buying war between fans. And even if Kanye wins....does anyone really think that 50 will stop? Even if he quits a "solo" career he can capatalize on his celebrity status in other product lines and other bands featuring "50 cent." And as one of my friends pointed out, wouldn't he still be able to have a solo career under his legal birth name?
Now, this isn't to nit-pick at either individual, or say that their music is bad, or anything. It's just frustrating that this gets sooooo much attention when there are other issues at hand that should be put ahead of this in the media.
The bottom line is that they're rolling in dough ($$$$$$$) while there are wars, poverty, sickness, and starvation still in the world.
Maybe they should have a telethon when selling the C.D., give a portion of the profits to a charity, and see who can raise more then.
Just an idea. But what's your take on this subject? Keep Writing!
