'Cause it's overpromoted and kids buy it, when they get older they won't even like that album anymore, it's just like when Britney Spears is in the news so much, kids're programmed to like whoever's name they hear on TV or radio all the time since they don't know any better, it's disposable pop. Will's not out there like that right now and he put quality into his music, if he milked that "something for Eminem" thing like 50 Cent did with his beef with Game record sales would go up but I think a lot of us might lose respect for Will for using beef to sell records, 50 Cent does it wrong though, he don't make good songs to hurt competition, he just runs his mouth and releases his trash pop singles, we don't wanna see Will go that low just to sell records and talk smack about Eminem in all of his interviews, he just said something in his song "Mr. Nice Guy" and left it at that, if Eminem was a real mc he would've answered back in a song but he knows that Will'd destroy him 'cause he knows that "Lost and Found' is better than anything he's done lately, he knows that talking smack about Will this time wouldn't be smart for him since his image is hurt already anyway, he probably feels a lil' ashamed that all of his fans are teenyboppers and his original fans think his albums are trash, I hope he distance himself from 50 sooner or later or just bows out....
Everyday there's a new article about 50 Cent, he always says or does something controversial, and of course his songs are played everywhere, you can't avoid him, he's the Britney Spears of pop rap.... Will got too much class to be popular right now, nobody wants to hear a clean rapper with positive messages, if he become self-centered and trashy, then he'll be popular, the media spends more time promoting gimmicks more than anything, Common could've outsold 50 if he got promoted the right way too but the controversial image sells more than the good music, for Will to sell anything is a miracle....
Good point man!, I hope one day this gonna change :bat:
