Kanye West vs. 50 Cent

[Spooner]

Any word on who won last night record premiere sales war? 50 Cent promised to never release another solo album if kanye beats his record sales :Q

 

[Lonyo]

Kanye was supposedly winning, which is good, I guess.
It would be nicer if neither of them ever released anything again though.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

there is no beef. its friendly competition. kanye even references a line from 50 cent on track # 6.

 

[ThePresence]

It's such an obvious publicity stunt.

and it has worked. No multi million dollar budget needed.

It would be nice if Kanye outsold 50 just to make him keep his word (which is highly unlikely that it would happen).

 

[Mr Pickles]

I like 50, he's been shot.

yeah, i dont see that happening either... i'm sure there will be some "meeting of the minds" or some other ridiculous reason why 50 makes another album.

i hate kanye so bad as a person but unfortunately i like a lot of his music

Why? You hate him because he's arrogant (like most ATOTers), or because he thinks Britney shouldn't have performed at the VMAs (like most ATOTers), or because he thinks George Bush doesn't care about black people (what person in his right mind WOULD think that Bush cares about black people??)?

 

[0roo0roo]

rap album sales are down
publicity stunt.

 

[Spooner]

Throckmorton, pretty much all of the above.

He's made it apparent that he is an arrogant, self-pitying, racecard throwing, cry baby that thinks he is entitled to the keys to the world because he came up with the lyric "let's get lost tonight; you can be my black kate moss tonight"

50 cent was on jimmy kimmel last night and said he was already 80% done with his next record...he said it would be out around march 2008...

I heard his last record on his contract with shady aftermath after curtis would be a greatest hits album.

THen his next solo project would be on his own label.

Kanye's winning

That's not real beef.

Mos Def says what real beef is.

Serioiusly?

Kanye is apparently projected to have 700,000 in sales for first week while 50 is at 500-600,000 and Kenny Chesney (country music singer) is supposedly in the running with 50.

 

[krunchykrome]

Kanye won with sales yesterday.

I personally think the whole thing was a conspired scheme between the two of them to promote overall record sales for both of them. They know that people don't buy cd's anymore, so what better way to market their sales of cd's than a public challenge.

didnt he just say he wont right solo records any longer? meaning someone else can right it for him, and he'll just rap it?

 

[manowar821]

It's like a glorious feces throwing contest!
