Kayne West / 50 Cent BEEF
You knew it had to happen. With 50 Cent’s new album Curtis dropping the same day (9/11/2007) as Kayne West’s third album, Graduation, the two up-and-coming rappers are slanging feisty words. MTV recently ranked Kayne West (#5) ahead of 50 (#8) in their 2007 Hottest MCs in the Game, prompting 50 Cent to say:
“MTV can suck my ****. That’s their opinion who they put in this—they put Game number 3 when I wrote the 3 singles that created him. What does that mean? That I’m number 3? Because you’re not in to me this week, I get a chance to sit in the number 8 spot but the project that I created is number 3.”
50 Cent has also offered to stop making crappy music if Kayne outsells him on game day:
Let’s raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer [perform] music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.
We hope this is true! Just compare Kayne’s new single Can’t tell me nothing:
With 50 Cent’s Justin-Timberlake infused hip-pop:
We’ll probably find out Timbaland ripped the background from the modscene again…

sorry, but a part of me roots for 50 but this Timbaland and “poppy” white boy band don’t do it for me. 50 you really trying to be all hard singing with these cats?!?!?!?! why don’t you go count your money, lose that gut and perhaps do a few compilations with Barry Manilow or something…
Come on man “you can’t tell me nuttin..!

I hope 50 sells more, kanye is so annoying !!! He wont shut up about the MTV awards……it’d just be funny if 50 sold more cuz kanye is so overly confident…..and even tho 50 doesnt talk about much worth listening to, his beats are catchy, and as sad as that is to say, thats wut sells….

Damn, 50’s video and song is tight as heck!!!

50 Is ready to Retire…if he is smart he will use his “L” as in excuse to go into hiding for a while just so he can copy Jay - Z and come in and out of Retirement… People get tired of his same wacKness….Kanye may have a mouth on him and is NOT AFRAID to speak his mind, but that is just what he is known for, and that is why people like him so much and why he so succesfsull and interesting. I’ll be buying Kanye’s Album today…

Kanye West is basically the modern hip-hop star, I’ll admit he is softer as far as image goes, but I am tellin’ you, his lyrics and his emotions in his music is just shown in about every song, 50 Cent is like tough, but Kanye is for real, and it’s so true…
Kanye you kill 50…
Graduation beats Curtis, Big Brother is a hot one too, peace
