50 Cent Says Drake Buzz Is Fabricated

06/28/09

New York rapper 50 Cent may be one of the few Hip Hop power players who won't necessarily be cosigning rising Canadian rapper Drake.

Fif, who exploded onto the scene in 2002, says his buzz back then isn't really comparable to Drake's today because it may not necessarily be organic.

XXLMag.com recently spoke to the G-Unit General about his opinion on the hype surrounding the former Degrassi star and the comparisons many critics have been drawing between him and the up-and-coming rapper’s buzz.

“I didn’t hear that, I don’t think you can accomplish that right now,” Fif told XXL about his rise to fame back in '02.

“Not without finance. I hear his record on the radio. He got a good buzz, I hear him. Shit, it wasn’t possible for my music to be on the radio when I was coming. You know mine’s was completely organic.“

“When you hear a song on the radio it means it’s being worked,” he explained.

“Ain’t nothing there just because, enough for it to be playing every hour on the hour. That song is being worked like he’s on a label. You know I’m sure Sylvia Rhone or Universal — they’re spending money to get the record played. They got the public feeling like its just happening.”

When reminded that Drake, has yet to accept any label offers, Fif responded, “He might not be signed yet, but they may work it to get him to sign. Is it worth it to sign until you develop that?”

Though Drake may not be signed to a major label as of yet, his hit single "Best I Ever Had" is currently being sold by retailers under "Frozen Moments" music label.
