Analysing a DPS about 50 Cent Called "Marked For Death"
- The headline is "Marked for death" This shows to me that 50 cent is not a very loved man in the hip hop industry and has lots of enemies from his previous and present life. It later says in the article "altercation with such formidable figure as Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah and numerous death threats".
- The main message in this article is telling us how they think 50 cent has the potential to become the biggest name in hip hop if he doesn't get his head blown off first.
- The first line is "50 Cent has bullet wounds".This line is very dramatic and is not something you expect to see normally in a magazine about a rapper. Therefore as a result of this it makes they reader curious to how 50 Cent got the bullet wounds and how he managed to survive.
- I think about 1/3 of the article are quotes, some example of these are "My advance from Columbia was $65,000 but I went back to selling crack" also "I've been in some situations where I've don't bad shit. I've shot people."
