If you didn’t know already, I’ll tell you again. 50’s my boy. Now that the platform has been established, let’s get to the details.
“The Money and The Power.”; 50’s show that he tried to pit against the likes of Billionaire Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice”, was destined to fail ever since he opened his mouth to diss Mr. Trump.
Some of you might not know, but I’ll tell you this; Donald Trump is my boy. If I had to choose between who I’d let ride shotty in my whip, it’d be Trump. He hasn’t fed the streets crack to make a name for himself. We can all debate the couth applied by the two out-spoken distant moguls to garner their status, but that’s for another day.
A few months ago when 50 was feeling himself, he put Trump’s name in his mouth and stated his show would reign over Trump’s show. Apparently 50 didn’t do his homework, nor did he have the budget or entertainment industry clout to gather a big name such as, Mark Burnett. 50, if you’re reading this, repeat the name. Mark Burnett. Would you like me to explain?
Mark Burnett (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Burnett#TV_career): Survivor. Eco-Challenge!!! Survivor is the MOST watched summer series since Sonny and Cher. Oh wait; Mark Burnett produced The Apprentice. Isn’t that the show you mentioned your show’s ratings would bludgeon?
MTV. 50! Did you know that almost everyone in the United States gets NBC. What’s NBC? NBC is a channel on the television that is free. You can even get it with merely rabbit ear antennae. MTV is only available to people that have CABLE TELEVISION! Not everyone has the cash to pay for cable television. Why is your show only on MTV? Because you do not have entertainment clout; yet.
David Pritikin and Michael Bloom: David was Mark Burnett’s supervising producer for Survivor. Other than that, he didn’t make that much of a buzz with respect to great TV shows. Michael Bloom. Viva La Bam. C’mon. Mark Burnett has been shining for quite some time.
Compare the walnuts, the clout, the status, and strings… 50, don’t pit yourself against a household name. Not everyone in the USA knows who 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, or Lloyd Banks are, and I am sure most of them do not care about african-american modern rap culture; you know. The cussing, dis-respecting; the ghetto ass people you have in your show. They don’t even look good. The girls in The Apprentice, most of them were hot! Stick to rap albums, soft-drinks, and clothing. Let Trump do his thing, don’t piss him off or he may pull some strings and throw you under the bus.
