What Should We Be Thinking About Today

I find it ironic how two of the music industry's biggest stars can pick today of all days to pit their simultaneously dropping albums against each other.
Six years ago on a Tuesday morning the world saw one of the most horrific acts of terror take place on American soil. The war was brought to us with a thundering force no one thought could be used against America. As a majority of the country came together in morning, another large part turned their ears away from church bells and into headphones blaring one the two newly dropped albums by Kanye West and 50 Cent; "Graduation" and "Curtis."
In the land of bling, making it rain, and rims on cars, the subculture of people who idolize this lifestyle and place it before the reality they exist in are showing their true colors. Fans watch closely as 50 cent threatens retirement if his album is outsold by Kanye West. But does it really make a difference.
2,752 people died six years ago. 2, 752Mothers, fathers, teachers, friends, husbands, and wives left this world. Sorry if I don't find it important if one rapper leaves the game.
