50 Cent Video Goes Really Viral

Before you do anything, watch this video. This video comes from a not so well known YouTube sensation by the username BeenerKeeKee19952. He has been known to put videos of himself lip synching, quite badly if I do say so myself, to popular music. One can understand why this is so catchy, everyone likes to see a silly kid singing songs so seriously. But when I came across this video a couple of weeks ago, my jaw literally dropped.

"50 Cent?! How in the world did this even happen?!", I said to myself in complete amazement of what I was watching. To see something that people just watch to amuse themselves, and then to see 50 Cent come of a closet, walk across this child's very dirty room, to join him in lip synching (much better) than the child. After watching this video, I could only think of one word: Genius.

Think marketing for this one. Immediately after watching this video, the first thing I did was to google search 50 Cent and see if he was coming out with any new albums, songs, etc. Not only did 50 Cent put this kid in the spotlight, he put himself in the spotlight by doing something completely out of the ordinary and joining this kid in a little rapping! I think this was a really smart way to get himself out there to a market where celebrities have tried, and most of the time failed. Viral videos are extremely difficult to make with hopes of being successful, and 50 Cent found a great opportunity to put himself in there and surprise everyone with this video. And it's now close to 10 million views at this time, and it's definitely growing.

So what did you think of the video? Are you impressed with 50 Cent's ability to put himself out there and possibly succeed? Or do you find this to be another sad attempt at a celebrity trying to get into the viral video scene? Although if we were to agree on one thing, we can decide this: This video is hilarious.
