50 is very “creative” in turnin’ otherwise-non-entertaining drama into profitable works.

Wale- cool flow & lyrics

Drake- I can guess what u goin to say, sound on ur next record….an baby’s play tow…the whole of young money crew might drop an album on drake’s hype b4 he gets his chance

Cudi- Who??? oh kanye’s “buddy” don’t sellout like yeezy

Wale – next album will be his breakin’ factor…if it doesn’t do good, he’s done with…unless he focuses all his energy towards makin’ strictly “pop” records….Flo-Rida type shit. Or he can settle for that D.C. Go-Go shit…but I even heard niggas in DC don’t even respect his movement

Drake – THIS album will be his breakin’ factor…if it doesn’t do good (which we know it will), people will be a lil less hesitant in the future, to give 1 artist such a major look. It will definitely turn-around the perception of “NEW” artists comin’ into the game. People won’t take them as seriously because of all the “hype”, so to say, surrounding them. That shit like a trend…the hot niggas from last year, are this years not niggas. But seriously with that Universal machine behind him, it’s no-way Drake gon’ fail. But this is a scenario which COULD happen.

Cudi – His next album will be everything for him. If he doesn’t utilize the weapons/tools around him, and create those timeless hits (like his lyrics, voice, subject matter, etc. indicate) – then it’s no doubt in my mind, he’ll be a “1″ hit wonder fa’real. Day & Night appealed because it was fresh, different, almost cross-over in a sense, but still, shit people been waitin’ for. Well, the album was “less” than Day & Night. He almost worked backwards, but as I’ve been told, Day & Night was a song he pitched around for 2-3 years before it’s breakout. So with that being said, all his “NEW” material, was displayed on “Man On The Moon”, and that didn’t really get the critics buzzin’ like they we’re supposed to. Ey? only time will tell.

I feel all 3 of these guys can make it, but out of the 3, Drake will be the only 1 around (heavy), by the time 2011 roll in. He’s goin to split from Young Money and create a brand of his own (which will be crazy to see), which he could have done in the beginning, been out already, feeding off the success of music. I feel like he’s being “washed” down a lil because of his numerous appearances on Birdman’s shit. Birdman’s last 2 singles featured Drake (when I thought they we’re infact, Drake’s song, featuring Birdman). It keeps him visible, but it also makes people tired of the same ol’ same ol’…u know?..Same way people loved 50 for attackin’ niggas in the beginnin’..after a while, people stop payin’ attention. Same thing with all other rappers, that’s why it’s good to create the “aura of invicibility”… Law 16 & Law 17 applies here. read the book for those who lost….
