By the way, "TI" is not in the media very much, unless you read one of those hip-hop magazines. Mainstream media does not talk about him as much as they do people like Taylor Swift, and not nearly as much as they talk about Hilton, Kardashian, Anniston, etc........

And even if you listen to the radio all day, Jason Derulo gets way more play than TI does..........

So again, how is everyone supposed to know about him? There are only so many hours in a day, you can't know something about everyone.
Not these days maybe, but last year the man was on Oprah, The View, an episode of Entourage... Hell, even my wife knows who he is.

Edit: And don't forget that performance at the Grammys (though a massively pregnant MIA kind of stole that show)

They moved my local BMW dealership in with the local suzuki dealership. They had a bunch of Busas like this on the showroom floor. It made me sick. I went from visiting a nice boutique euro dealer to a piece of shit stunter hang out. Parts guy is still awesome, the service department is shitty. I am scared to take my bike there for the little I let them do to it. Like ABS brake fluid changes (it's tricky) and computer updates.

lets see I never have and never will watch oprah or the view so thats out. Awards shows, I prefere being stabbed in the eye with a blunt rusty icepick and I can see entourage, I just never got into that show.

Now if he shows up on sons of anarchy then I may know him

I totally had you pegged for an Oprah guy.

Point is, he's had plenty of mainstream exposure.

A critical thinker, such as yourself, would have to purposely avoid all news media to never have heard of Bieber.

I have never heard a single one of his songs but I've heard the name.

Quit trying to look all hetero, 'slice. It's not working.

Not sure what being a critical thinker has to do with what kind of news a person pays attention to. I don't pay attention to news about musicians (or should I say quote-unquote musicians ). Yeah I listen to the radio, and if I like a song I might make a mental note of who it was, but I don't go researching that person's life. And no I don't know who Bieber is. What is his first name? What kind of music is it?
