50 Cent Works the Web: MySpace Curtis Streams, Top Friends & Dance Contest, Video Interview King

50 Cent - I Get Money Dance

Supposedly all of the tracks from Curtis are available for streaming on 50 Cent's MySpace page.

If you check out 50's MySpace blog you'll find such promotions as a 50 Cent's Top MySpace friends contest in which MySpace fans can promote 50 and possibly win a place as a top MySpace friend on 50's profile plus 50 Cent['s online intern] will personally place a comment on your MySpace page.

There's also an I Get Money Dance Contest that's been going on for a month or so.

What's a trip is just about any other artist would make one of these things the centerpiece of their online campaign.  You'd see ads all over the place pushing you to the dance contest or whatever is taken as the focus.  But 50 Cent's online game seems to have become fully distributed with activities specific to the outlet.

50 Minutes with 50 Cent, Pt. 1

What got me thinking about this topic was my realization that there's been a steady stream of 50 Cent video interviews for a wide range of online outlets from MySpace's 50 Minutes with 50 to an OnSMASH interview series to VBS meets 50 cent.

Kanye's doing online video interviews as well but my subjective experience has been of seeing more original interviews with 50 Cent on different indie sites that are then popping up all over the place as embeddable videos.

What have you seen?

Is 50 Cent the online interview king?

And can anyone tell if Kanye West has won the battle for magazine covers?

Hey 50,
While you are excellent at music, I am more fascinated by your level of intellegience. Men! It's a pleasure watching your interviews. You make the other artists seem as if they are not trying. Keep doing what you do baby!

Hey Fifty,
You are a true businessman. I admire your level of focus and intelligience. You are my inspiration. I like your coolness and I don't mean the shade of your skin. I mean your whole persona. You have a sense of humor and that freaks me out all the time.Men! I wish I had a friend like you to just share thoughts with and laugh. Keep sweet.
