KanYe West VS. 50 CENT. Your output?

[tysoNgoduMb]

I jsut wanted to see what everyone thought about this.

For those who dont know, 50 and KanYe have a Album drop 9/11 and they are gunna see how sells the most albums. 50 even said, if KanYe wins, 50 still stop making solo albums. haha.

IMO, i think 50 is gunna get his ass handed to him. iono. what do you guys think?

[Unholy S14]

i think so too

he already delayed his album twice for being like ass. People now know 50 is a fake ass rapper that went pop.

Kany will win.

[tysoNgoduMb]

and plus, KanYe right now got big ass singles. Stronger and Cant tell me is already out there and his 3rd single Good Life is oh man... its gunna be a murder.

[BC240]

Kanye, even though I hate him.. he makes some good tunes and is definately on the rise, 50 is heading downhill pretty fast

[ZenkitonS14]

50cent doesnt make real hiphop, all he cares about is whats "in" and what will make him money.


Kanye's gonna work this

[understeer]

kanye will get it

[CantSTOP]

Cant tell me nothing > I get money

[CNDC]

who cares both of them are kinda wack now. I'd say Kanye just cause he has better skill and the new 50 cent shit is trash.

[Farzam]

I hope noone buys either.

[Phlip]

To this point, 50 has sold more, and has done so on highly questionable talent...
Personally, I think this trend will continue, but I ALSO think that this whole "feud" is a smooth marketing ploy to balloon BOTH of their numbers, seeing as how neither of them is hurting for money, what with 50 having raked all that money in when Coke bought Glacéau earlier this year. Kanye, knowing the general workings of a recording contract and being that he makes ALL of his own beats, as well as those of SEVERAL others who are paying tens of thousands EACH studio session, plus residual income on publishing, is far from NEEDING the money or any such bullshit "contest" either.
Each is a pawn in this huge chess match (no, it is NOT Connect Four), seeing as how each of them are signed to labels that they honestly do not need... Now the labels NEED them to get off their asses and TRY to sell records, even though they do not personally NEED to. Both are in privileged positions that most who are recording SHOULD want to kill to be in.




Personally, if I wake up on Tuesday and I have $11.00 and only $11.00 to spend on an album and those are the choices, I am buying Kanye, since his shit is more what I am into than the whole "guns/drugs/fuckin' hoes" aesthetic.

[Unholy S14]

my last album that I bought was the game.

[ThatGuy]

I was going to comment on this...

but PHLIP already summed it up.

Congratulations on becoming part of their game. :D

[illvialuver]

Personally, if I wake up on Tuesday and I have $11.00 and only $11.00 to spend on an album and those are the choices, I am buying Kanye, since his shit is more what I am into than the whole "guns/drugs/fuckijn' hoes" aesthetic.


that said it best of all. but yeah, i think 50 is a huge fake, and so is all his wanna be tupac and biggie liek drama with fat joe.
i think when it comes to music kanye makes better music.
personally im diggin the stronger single so that alone beats out being a wanna be thug,smackin hoes, smokin weed music.

[Farzam]

If I had to get 1 i'd probably get 50...guns and shit are cool.

Kanye's kinda stupid too. We'd get along I guess.

[tysoNgoduMb]

i'd probably have to buy kanye and download 50s album. haha. jk about the downloading! o.o

[xblack240x]

I'm not buying either, but I think Kanye might win... Philip's post is very well said, and I have to agree, if I had the money I would pick up Kanye's...

[Sir]

Since 50Cent is like black male version of Britney.
On tuesday, when I got only $11 bux, I'll go get myself a coke and a burger and download Kanye.

[djkowai]

both are wack, someone did a hip hop remix to harder, better, faster, stronger a while ago and it was way better then kanyes. but if i had to pick i'd go for kanye, the beats are way better plus hes less of a faker.

[grnappletree14]

kayne "stronger" than ever.

[20 til 3]

i hate Kanye West... everything he's about and his additude

but i love his music

50 cent sucks ass, made it big and sold out

i'd have to say kanye though...if i were to buy a cd and not download it

[eastcoastS14]

50 will get it....you have to take into account the number of middle school kids who are buying albums....little white middle schoolers with big fake chains will be all over 50's shit, his music is so basic and its so easy to learn the words, even though his shit is pretty annoying i gotta admit its really catchy....id buy kanye's album befor 50's but im sure 50 will take it in sales

[Baka Sama]

but... 50 cent runs NY :goyou: Hahaha

Cant really relate to 50. I never had to sell drugs to my own people.

I might get Kanyes cd on the way to picking up finding forever.

[HalveBlue]

50 will win.

As Farzam already summarized quite nicely, "guns and shit are cool."

Kanye is the more intellectual of the two, so his song will naturally evade understanding by 90% of the music consumers in this country.

That having been said, I'm not a "fan" of either, but if I were stuck between a rock and a hard place I'd personally buy Kanye West's album.

Thank God I'm not stuck between a rock and a hard place, though.

[!Zar!]

Kayne will. He knows how to conduct himself.

As apposed to that fool who got shot and somehow made cash off of it.

Fifty was cool. Now I'm just not into him as much. Not sure why.

[eastcoastS14]

I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven
When I awoke I spent that on a necklace
I told God I'd be back in a second
Man, it's so hard not to act reckless
To whom much is given, much is tested
Get arrested, guess until he get the message
I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny
And what'd I do? Act more stupidly

>
Good evening ladies, I'll tell you from the start
I'm hoping you enjoy my amusement park
Theres lots of activities, fun things to do
And I'll find my pleasure in pleasing you
Some rides go fast, some rides go slow
You fear heights when I'm high hell yeah I'll go low
It taste so sweet, that sticky cotton candy
We get carried away
We be starting a family

[rainier]

50 will get it....you have to take into account the number of middle school kids who are buying albums....little white middle schoolers with big fake chains will be all over 50's shit, his music is so basic and its so easy to learn the words, even though his shit is pretty annoying i gotta admit its really catchy....id buy kanye's album befor 50's but im sure 50 will take it in sales


i prefer Kanye's Album over 50s since i hate his music. BUT as ^^ said, i sadly believe 50 will get it. hes so much more mainstream with all his music, kids think hes cool because of what he raps about on his tracks, and all around i think he has more publicity in winning on release date.

im not trying to jinx it though, if kanye wins, GOOD FOR HIM! his music is good music.

ive already downloaded both, but i might just spend the extra 11 bucks buying kanyes just cause his cool graphics on it on ive purchased/downloaded each one of his albums/mixtapes.

[A Spec Products]

50 Cent will sell more records, period

Like 50 said, Kanye isn't on his level (record sales wise)

And this is true

50 outsold Kanye like crazy, but cmon, its 50 motherfuckin Cent

Kanye is worldwide but 50 is like Eminem status, sells to kids in Europe who can't even speak English (and Asia too)

Shit I bet your MOMS know who 50 is, but don't know Kanye

Either way, no doubt I feel Kanye WAY more than 50 in terms of musical value, but 50 will outsell him units wise

I find it funny how fickle we are as the buying public

Couple years ago everyone in this thread GUARANTEED was on 50's nuts, screaming G UNIT and singing the hook to "In Da Club"

Just like how you used to shout "Holla Holla" when Ja Rule was big, or like when you used to sing "Hangin Tough" with your New Kids poster on the wall, tape deck blasting (yeah yeah you did)

But now its all like fuck 50 fuck ja that kinda thing

I still like 50's music, I think he's getting a bit lazy but I still like his stuff like "I Get Money" just for listening value (lyrical content lacks, yes)

[azndoc]

Wait who's 50 cent and Kanye?

Doesn't make me any richer if either of them wins.

[timlush]

50 has been garbage for a couple years now.

Kanye is still doin it.

"I'll take you the da candy shop" :rofl:

[ALTRNTV]

It's a tie. They both lose since Elvis Costello's album entitled "My Aim is True" is coming out the same day.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/61IfB90htgL._AA240_.jpg

[PBucch]

Kayne will. He knows how to conduct himself.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.


not saying 50 cent is a model citizen, and I have not been a fan of anything hes done post 2004. Lets not make Kanyizy into anything hes not, the guy is a brat, a baby, a pussy, and a complainer. The way he acts in public is so deplorable, I wonder whos worse for "hip hop", the pied piper whose more white collar or the big bad wolf.

[fromxtor]

I definitely wont be buying either, but I'll play nice and throw my 0.02 in. If I was so inclined to buy one of these albums, I would have to buy 50s album by default as that stronger song by Kanye is a super direct bite off of a daft punk song. Even the video is super similar, no thanks puffy I'll have to pass on the beat sampling today.

[ayuaddict]

i love how you all have been referring to the shit "50 cent" produces as "music". ridiculous.

[iwishiwas-all*]

yo ive heard all of kanye and 50's new album, kanyes is serious fire, no joke, but 50's is an inferno, they are two imo excellent albums.

[s13gold]

kanye is not my style of music 50 CENT gots my vote.

[exitspeed]

50 was nice, but he turned into a worse Ja then Ja. He's a total hypocrite and I lost all respect for him.

Kanye is fresh. He get's my money. I rarely buy albums anymore. Like maybe 1 a year cause I think most of the shit now sucks. There's only a handful of artists I'll actually spend money on anymore.

[Sir]

i love how you all have been referring to the shit "50 cent" produces as "music". ridiculous.
BURN!!!!
:Owned:

[exitspeed]

I also want to add, that if spending $11 on a CD nest Tue helps the odds of 50 never making an album again, it is worth every penny.

[EDacIouSX]

if tupac was around he'd shit all over kanye and 50s faces lol. kanye is definitely a crying bitch and 50s music is the gayness.

[Farzam]

I should release a CD.

And if I win i'll stop fucking all your girlfriends.

[Unholy S14]

err dude daft punk worked on that song too and is in the video.

and btw Kanyes video was made after Akira the anime.

[thejapino]

its gonna be a repeat of their last albums. kanye's getting the listeners and 50's getting the sales.

i dont like neither. I wanna see kanye win only b/c I don't want 50 come out with any solo shit. But the truth is, even though kanye produces his own beats and they're tight, Dre has a whole team of the best producers to come out with shit for 50, plus their label KNOWS how to sell LOTS of albums...

50 wins and continues selling solo albums. wait and see

p.s. i like kanyes 'flashing lights' its so smooth

[ManoNegra]

Kanye's would the only album of the two I would consider downloading. Maybe.

[2iv0 sx]

Both albums are pretty good

I heard tracks from both albums back to back today on the radio and they're pretty bumping!

I might consider getting both albums

[blaze1]

50 might sell more records, but kanye is the closest your gonna get to real hip hop on the mainstream level.

50 wins the battle but kanye wins the war... the war of real hip hop anyway.

[JesusFreakDrifter]

Personally, if I wake up on Tuesday and I have $11.00 and only $11.00 to spend on an album and those are the choices, I am buying Kanye, since his shit is more what I am into than the whole "guns/drugs/fuckin' hoes" aesthetic.

hopefully the production on kanye's album is as well as he did on common's album, and yes this sounds about right

-tailb kweli-eardrum
-kanye west-
-common- finding forever

we need more emcee's for real

[Revhard_s14]

Kanye is WACK. I do acknowledge his talent, but he thinks too highly of himself as if he's some sort of "god" and his cocky stuck up attitude just doesn't work with me.

[Agent_S13]

It's a tie. They both lose since Elvis Costello's album entitled "My Aim is True" is coming out the same day.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/61IfB90htgL._AA240_.jpg


Haha This reminds me of that Simpson's episode

http://www.simpsonspark.com/images/whitepages/costello_elvis.jpg

Homer steals his glasses and Costello yells "My Image!"

Haha Anyways, who cares? Phlip covered it perfectly -- marketing ploy. I thought 50 said the same promise about record sales before Kanye's 2nd album dropped and he's still here -- even if he won/lost, he'd just drop another album. They'll both got paid, they both got their advances already, there's discussion about this so when you walk into the record store, you'll see both and will be more inclined to buy one or the other. Either way, they win. Whether or not its good music or "Grammy-worthy" isn't the point, its about the sales.

I think both of them have different markets they sell too. Its just a matter of those who listen to both. Niether are going to give up their faithful (and profitable) fan base catering to those last few and this gives them a way to do it or put it into the people not sure.

When both need to sell albums again, the cycle will repeat.

-Aaron
'91 240sx coupe

[MADE]

Well to hear Clay Aiken tell it he will win. Personally I'm going to guy them both, who wins I could give a shit less, I just hope there worth buying. Both of them have at least 3 hits from the CD so that is better than average artist nowadays.

[smellslikecurry]

kanye atleast has SOME substance in what hes saying
50 should just get shot in the face again

and kanyes flow is much better...50s voice annoys me

[SimpleS14]

If the beats are anything like Common's Finding Forever...then my vote is Mr. West...but I doubt I will buy the album (or 50's)

[bamaboy]

mr. chi-town asshole will get my money and i hope fiddy nevers makes another rap song again.

[SimpleSexy180]

whats wrong with sampling?
red bull big tune. they always win with those type of beats.

anyway, i was never really into kanye..but this current album has gotten to my liking.
50 on the other hand, well, only song i liked from him was "21 questions".

so my vote is kanye. The music industry is slowly changing..

[WERDdabuilder]

who wants em? ive had both for couple days now. only been listening to Kanye's album. dont really care about 50.

but yeah. i have graduation + bonus tracks.PM.

[lil240sx95]

First off FECK 50 cent. He is one of the reasons rap/hip-hop is dead, and I strongly believe that Kanye will beat him down with a stick. So Kanye West FTMFW

[Full-Lock]

Ive never bought a cd in my life but im buying kanye west's cd because i hate 50 cent.

[DRavenS13]

Kanye is WACK. I do acknowledge his talent, but he thinks too highly of himself as if he's some sort of "god" and his cocky stuck up attitude just doesn't work with me.

I agree. He's on his own nuts way too hard. He has good music, I like his flows and his beats, but he kills himself because he is way too gassed up about himself.


I'd rather set 11.00 on fire than buy 50cent though. I heard him on the radio this morning mumbling about some shit, but I changed it because it was like listening to a black Boomhauer.

[smellslikecurry]

50 cent sounds like a conglomeration of animals

[ZenkitonS14]

The Kanye CD is really good, I just got the Japanese release, it comes with 2 bonus tracks :bigok:

[SimpleSexy180]

fuckin, i love the fact kanye is so cocky.

[1Via!]

Not that I buy CDs anymore, but I am more apt to get that Elvis Costello CD than either Kayne or 50cent. Though, Kanye is head and shoulders above 50cent in quality of music.

[sTalnOut]

i personally think kanye shit is wack,he such a f**kin baby i mean he has some heavy shit but compare to 50 on making money level he aint near it but anyways reguardless wat any says who likes who betta i bet every1 of you who burns a mp3 will have at least 1 of their songs on it cause reguardless its still pumpin and dont forget DRE n SHADY enough said

[lovdrifting52]

kanye all the way...50 cent who? hip hop all the way screw rap

[k's_silvia2.0]

AWW GOD PLEASE LET NO ONE WIN BOTH ARE NOT SPECIAL,
VERY VERY VERY COMMERCAILIZED.Not for me.

[Synicals13]

if i really had to, i'd buy kanye's album. He does make sick beats, but yes sure enough hes a cocky basterd and his lyrics/delivery isnt special. I hate 50 and he fell of from his underground days once he went mainstream. I'd rather support kanye and never seeing a 50 solo album again.

But, realistically it'll be a crazy battle. The "gangster"/wangster kids will definately buy 50's club shit. But the kanye fans and all the peeps that are against 50 might might just invest in kanye's album in hopes of increasing the chances of 50 not making any solo albums.

[PBucch]

fuckin, i love the fact kanye is so cocky.

BS, hes a rapper and producer, he shouldnt be arrogant, hes such a pussy man it cracks me up.

That said and I think Kanye is a little bitch, ill probably still download his album because like I said before, 50 hasnt impressed in 3 years.

[Baka Sama]

Am I missing something? Ive never met the guy in person but how is Kanye a pussy and a little bitch? He never talks about beating anyones ass or about how gansta he is. I didnt know you had to do that to sell a rap cd.

[exitspeed]

Am I missing something? Ive never met the guy in person but how is Kanye a pussy and a little bitch? He never talks about beating anyones ass or about how gansta he is. I didnt know you had to do that to sell a rap cd.

That's why I like him. He's more grown hip-hop IMO. 50 Cent is for kids that think they are hard. I have a mortgage and never shot anyone. It's much harder to relate to 50 for me obviously.

I too like the fact he's so cocky. It's funny actually. I like to take little pointers from him whenever possible.

Kanye is to the music industry as MrMeph is to Zilvia. Love'em or hate'em, he's here and he's runnin shit. :Ownedd:

[TheWolf]

sorry... both have been out on the internet for like 2 weeks now and neither of them are not doing well. Hell there's only a 100 seeders for 50cents album master cut in lossless stolen straight from the gold. Kanye west's album is doing better at 300 seeder but that's cause it's a 3 day newer release. If you tabulate the total leeches Kanye has been leeched 12482 times and 50 cent 19267. To put this in perspective. Last weeks naruto cartoon anime episode was downloaded more than the two of them combine in the first 12 hours and is rocking on at 112,000+ downloads. So in conclusion. No one on the internet really gives 2 shits about either of them and wants more naruto anime.

LOL +1
I'll admint Kanye makes good music but his whinny prima-donna attitude just pisses me off. That and the fact that he's like a tick on Nigo's nutsack. :fawk2:

[mayco_86]

I think Kanye West is a better singer.

george bush does not care about black people

Embarassing himself and anythign he ever represented at the grammys, multiple times.

further complaining about not winning a grammy award

claims all this faith shit, poses on the rolling stone wearing a crown of thorns

He is arrogant, he is a whiny complainer, he is a bitch.

So maybe you did miss something baka sama, hopefully its clearer now.

He never talks about beating anyones ass or about how gansta he is. I didnt know you had to do that to sell a rap cd.

This was never expressed nor implied, but I see where you were trying to go with your post, better ruck tommorow.

The GWB doesnt care about black people thing was hilarious and true!

So he complained about not winning a grammy, so did eminem, big deal.

Kayne at the grammys isnt embarassing, what is embarassing are rappers who make a complete fool of themselves and insult all black people by coming on stage talking and dressing like they droped out of school in 3rd grade.

[atom]

I hope they tie and hopefully none of them ever make a CD again. Kanye should stick to producing and 50 should take that Vitamin water money and retire.

[TheWolf]

George Bush may not care about black people but you bet for damn sure he cares about naruto and his sexyjutsu. Fur Realz Yo!

[drifting_changed_mylife]

I hate 50. all he does is talk shit about old school rappers when he should be paying them homage. his music is trash. I hate how he represents queens ny. I liked it better when nas was our rap mascot.

kanye west has got some really good shit. im not to sure what the name of the some was but i heard it like a week ago. he was talking allot about jay-z and stuff it was a awesome fucking song. i hope kanye west wins and hopefully 50 will keep his word and get off the rapping train

after all that i still think 50 is gonna win it... unfortunately ppl like stupid thing, and allot of ppl lost and forgot what true hip hop and rap is all about

kanye west FTW!!!!!

[smellslikecurry]

he wasn't talking bout coke and birds
it was more like spoken words

[fliprayzin240sx]

I know what ill do...ill wait for this guy whos name starts with a P and ends with a P and then hit him up on AIM!!!

[DrftSLowHomIe!!]

I HATE 50 BYYYAH!!!!!!! never did like his hole g-unit movement and still dont im gonna get kanye's just cuz i dont think 50 has ne skills

JadaKiss:"how u the king of new york when u live in connecticut" 50diss

[ZenkiKid]

this is old news guys... 50 already denied making such a claim.

[smellslikecurry]

“And I bet this, when Kanye West’s sales come in, he’s gonna have a 70% decrease [the second week] ‘cause Def Jam is gonna buy records to keep him closer to 50 Cent,” the Queens rapper added. “So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his shit drop off the planet. We keep our angles covered before we make a decent bet.” Said 50.

[cleantune]

kayne did have some hot songs in the past "Get em High" and now "stronger" is almost always on the radio. He takes ah-ight songs and makes em dope. But hands down 50 will rock his shit on the 11. Fifty knows how to SELL PRODUCTS.

choke on that haterade son. I dislike the personality, get over it.

[Bobafreak]

kanye will win and his music is good the lyrics are what are catchy. To some he may be cocky but shit if you went through what kanye went through you probably be the same way. One of the chi's finest along with common. yessiirr!

50cent is alright. I think hes a hypocrite for one. You talk about ja being a gangster but making soft music and be on ashantis shit but here is 50 all on ciaras video and present singles with other artist. doin the same shit.

rappers do look stupid on stage why cause there fuckin rappers. hip hop artist are a different story thats where you have the difference. Rappers<hip hop artist. Big difference i consider kanye to be somewhat in between the both worlds.

i have the kanye album the (authentic one yes sir!) so far my favorite tracks are the 2 singles (stronger, and cant tell me nothing) along with "i wonder"

vrt members i can hook it up save yourself the 11.95 lol

[614duece40]

kayne for sure, i'm sorry but 5-0 snitch sounds so mono, like he has down syndrome. but it comes down to how many people actually listen to hip hop for lyrics and nice beats, or listen to it for the image and shit they can shake there ass to haha.

[ramblux]

LAS VEGAS - Kanye West says he'll never return to MTV.

The 29-year-old rapper, who was shut out at the Video Music Awards on Sunday night, threw a tantrum in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending.

West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated, including male artist of the year.

"That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," said West, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... No. 1 record, man."

It was the latest outburst from West at an awards show. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video.

West's latest album, "Graduation," is due out Tuesday. 50 Cent has said he'd stop making solo records if West's CD outsells his "Curtis" album, also set for release Tuesday, in their first week out.

The 31-year-old rapper has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his CD.

West and 50 Cent appeared together at the VMAs to present an award.

Fucking crybaby. I swear -- he's rich, he's famous, what else does he need? More validation? Please.


And I forgot where I read it this morning, but it was confirmed that the whole Kanye/50 album feud is all marketing hype. And suckers will go along with it, no doubt. I say boycott both albums to prove a point, but there's no way that would happen.

[exitspeed]

Fucking crybaby. I swear -- he's rich, he's famous, what else does he need? More validation? Please.


I'm sure that story is slightly exaggerated.

He wants to be recognized. I don't blame him. It's fuckin BS. But he does need to realize that it;s not going to change.

I think he's acting like Kanye to illustrate a point. I'm going with benefit of the doubt here. Devil's advocate, if you will.

Ah fuck it. Hang on, I'm going to neg rep him right now.

[Bobafreak]

^^^ hahaha. fine by me.

[B18C5MK1]

50 has songs with Justin Timberlake, Robyn Thicke, and Pussy Cat Dolls........What happened to that "gangsta" from Get Rich or Die Tryin????

[DRavenS13]

Meh, i'll screw them both over and dl their shit.

[Matej]

It's on!

[Matej]

If I had to pick sides, I'd pick Kanye because he tours with DJ A-Trak, and he's on that This Way track by Dilated Peoples, and 50's a joke, so that's why, haha.

[WERDdabuilder]

i dont see why artist like evidence/DP and whatnot dont get airplay. such a shame.

DP are great live. and evidence's weatherman LP is a dope album. grab it homies.

[A Spec Products]

I'm sure that story is slightly exaggerated.

He wants to be recognized. I don't blame him. It's fuckin BS. But he does need to realize that it;s not going to change.

Yeah

People don't like Kanye cause his ego

But seriously, he got the over the top swagger but has the talent to back it up

And I'm really feelin the Graduation album, its bananas

i dont see why artist like evidence/DP and whatnot dont get airplay. such a shame.

DP are great live. and evidence's weatherman LP is a dope album. grab it homies.

Yes

Evidence!

Super dope!

Picking up Kanye's album in the morning btw

[Matej]

Also pick up the new Aesop album. :)

[exitspeed]

I'll be going at lunch to pick up my copy. Then roll around all old school with the windows down bumping Kan's new shit!

[kyoru]

I hate 50. all he does is talk shit about old school rappers when he should be paying them homage. his music is trash. I hate how he represents queens ny. I liked it better when nas was our rap mascot.

kanye west has got some really good shit. im not to sure what the name of the some was but i heard it like a week ago. he was talking allot about jay-z and stuff it was a awesome fucking song. i hope kanye west wins and hopefully 50 will keep his word and get off the rapping train

after all that i still think 50 is gonna win it... unfortunately ppl like stupid thing, and allot of ppl lost and forgot what true hip hop and rap is all about

kanye west FTW!!!!!

pretty sure you are talking about "big brother" anyways I don't usually give my opinions cause people tend to neg rep me for that but anyways...

kanye west is pretty good, not saying the guy can't produce but he samples way to much in his new album, the majority of the songs have samples repeating in the back ground. lyrically most of his songs are pretty bad as well, sounds like hes just quoting nursery rhymes.

50 cent's isn't much better but I think his cd is fairly polished compared to kanye's. although 50 cent is supposedly going back to the raw aggressive style on this cd, I think it is rather refreshing he switches up his style throughout the cd. gotta admit I was kinda :ugh: about the JT and 50 Cent collabo but that song is really different yet sounds pretty good.

kanye's head is getting to big he needs to chill out, i'm sure 50 will beat him cause kanye songs get old really fast..

[exitspeed]

although 50 cent is supposedly going back to the raw aggressive style on this cd, .

How are you gonna do that after you've lived in such posh luxury for so long. You can't. For him to say he's still out there poppin folks, it would be ridiculous. That's why Kanye is more real. He is what he says he is; a big headed, asshole, genius of a producer. Nothing more, nothing less. You can't call him fake.

[PBucch]

Just backing up my statement a little more:

“That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," said West, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... No. 1 record, man.” It was the latest outburst from West at an awards show. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video."

LOL fucking baby. Talk about disgracing your race...

I don't see what's so disgraceful. Dudes had nothing but hit records and produced nothing but hit records and wants some acknowledgment. He's pissed. I'd be too with all these shitty ass artists getting all these awards. 3-6 Mafia has a fuckin Grammy for christ sake. That song was stupid as shit.

Anyway, I picked it up at lunch. I was #3 of 4 people in the line in a row with the CD in their hand. No one had 50's. Just one observation though.

50 Cent was also copped.

[SimpleSexy180]

^wtf do u get those with purchase!?!?!

[PRADOgy]

That comes to show what educated lyrics versus hype lyrics...
i mean how much longer can you rap about being shot, and selling drugs..
50 never beat ja rule.. he became him... LOL


KANYE IS THE SHIT. boy knows how to put words together with meaning

except he is a bitch.." I WILL NEVER WORK WITH MTV AGAIN.. I DIDNT WIN ANYTHING" LOL!!!!

[DUFFM4N]

50 never beat ja rule.. he became him... LOL

"its MUUUUUUUUURRRRDDDDAAAAAAH"

i wont buy either album...but if i had to choose id go with kanye's eventhough he's a whiny bitch...i mean come on, how can u sit there and play the race card with "give a black man a chance"...what more of a chance does he want, multi-millionaire, and he's still complaining about "the man" holding him back? if thats the case, shit we can switch places

[2iv0 sx]

^wtf do u get those with purchase!?!?!

They don't come with the album. It's a paper cut out

[S14TEVE]

50 cent should get shot in the mouth again. maybe he'll sound more thug and appeal to more 'gangstaz'.

[Kn1ves]

said it before,

kanye can't rap but he can make bomb ass beats
50 cent is only good for catchy hooks

mix em and you'll probably get something good
*listens to both albums some more*

[Farzam]

I wonder who's winning/won.

[ManoNegra]

Fuck both, it's all about Manu Chao's new joint.

[thrOwsumDs]

k-west has sold more so far... hes going to take it

[WERDdabuilder]

[DUFFM4N]

i dont see why artist like evidence/DP and whatnot dont get airplay. such a shame.

DP are great live. and evidence's weatherman LP is a dope album. grab it homies.

hip hop police is awesome.

I tried to dislike Chamillionaire, as in putting in an EFFORT to not like him.
Living in NC, I have friends who live and die by that "dirty south" shit, and one day I was in a friend's car and he happened to be listening Cham's first album, which I copied the instant we made it to my computer.
I DL's "Ultimate Victory" the other night and I am more impressed with it, as he actually rhymes about MORE shit that actually matters (yes, there is candy paint and chrome wheels, but he is from south Texas still), as well as using NO (as in literally zero, not even the 'marginal' ones) curse words on this album, and anyone who has a guest appearance has theirs edited... It is very well done, knowing just how hard it is to NOT curse in a rap song

[SimpleSexy180]

POLICE:thas lotta metal around yo neck boy. look like you lookin for trouble.

CHAM: nah i dont know anybody named trouble man

POLICE:dont smark talk me boy, i aint cho mama..and you shutup and pull them pants up.

sometimes artists share tracks for their albums just like Paul Wall and Kanye both shared "Drive Slow"

but i didnt buy Kanye's Album...so i dont know if its actually on there, but it came up under the track list when i searched to download the album

if u dont get those tracks by tomorrow ill send em to u when i get into work tomorrow

[Kn1ves]

bittersweet and goodnight off of kanye's album (itunes/UK/japan/australian bonus track)

hustlers ambition(uk exclusive) and smile(itunes exclusive) off of 50cent's album

looks like kanye wins in lyrical content (wtf?), 50 is pretty much more of the same...

[bamaboy]

what i'm supposed to now man the game all messed up
how i'm 'pposed to stand out when everybody getting dressed up, so yeah
at the grammy's i went ultra ja volta (spelling), yeah
that tuxedo might have been a little guido, but with my ego
i stand there in a speedo and be looked at like a fucking hero.

tell me that isn't fresh. I think Kanye wins, I bought them both, scanned through both of them for lack of time tonight to give them a good listen.
50= more of the feel from the first album with some great production
Kanye= something I haven't heard yet, lyrics that make me rewind and listen again

but my vote doesn't count because I bought both. I feel like it was a good $21.78 (best buy had them both for $9.99)

[smellslikecurry]

we need more WEEZY

[A Spec Products]

we need more WEEZY

I'm sorry but Weezy's verse on "Barry Bonds" was GARBAGE

I mean goddamn, you get on a YEY track for Graduation and spit that trash?

Weezy is one of my favorites, and I was disappointed in that verse for sure..."cause I'm COLE like Keyshia's family"......."cause I'm a hay-vick, oops I meant ha-voc"?

Tsk tsk

Not like I can do better but sigh

Haha yeah I liked this verse too

People hate Kanye's ego, but when you're THAT talented (in my opinion) you aren't going to be like everyone else....and at least he ain't molesting no little children (no hate on Mike cause he's damn talented as well but you get my point)

I also liked the verse "you got D's motherfucka, D's, Rosie Perez"!

LOL

Rapper Kanye West has accepted 50 Cent's challenge to appear live on BET's countdown show 106 & Park on Tuesday, September 11, the day both of their highly anticipated albums are released.

Terrence and Rocsi will host a "battle" during the show, where 50 Cent will perform singles from his upcoming album Curtis, while Kanye West will perform songs from his upcoming effort, Graduation.


ESPN's Stuart Scott will deliver commentary and a statistical breakdown of both 50 Cent and Kanye West.

"How could I not come to 106 & PARK on the day my album comes out? I'm definitely coming," West stated, while 50 Cent said ominously: "Just make sure that Kanye West shows up."

50 Cent and Kanye West will appear live on 106 & Park on Tuesday, September 11 at 6:00 PM.

It's very weird

I always wonder if he really writes his own stuff, cause sometimes he's ON and sometimes he's OFF

And when he's ON, its some legendary flow too

I've always liked Weezy, specially his SQAD mixtapes

[SimpleSexy180]

weezy on Little Brothers upcomming album. Only heard him speak the chorus, but i hope he doesnt spit garbage either. I'm sure though working with tay he will be decent.

[A Spec Products]

I heard some stuff of Curtis

I'm not really impressed

I mean its easy listening, but not like bangers or nothing

50 isn't really bringing anything new, mainly just making radio joints

Like the song "Come & Go" which is produced by Dr. Dre.....Dre didn't even spit on the track, and halfway through the song I get bored by 50's lyrics

I dunno I gotta listen to Curtis again but on first listen I'd say Kanye blasted this foo

LAS VEGAS - Kanye West says he'll never return to MTV.

The 29-year-old rapper, who was shut out at the Video Music Awards on Sunday night, threw a tantrum in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending.

West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated, including male artist of the year.

"That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," said West, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... No. 1 record, man."

It was the latest outburst from West at an awards show. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video.

West's latest album, "Graduation," is due out Tuesday. 50 Cent has said he'd stop making solo records if West's CD outsells his "Curtis" album, also set for release Tuesday, in their first week out.

The 31-year-old rapper has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his CD.

West and 50 Cent appeared together at the VMAs to present an award.

not to get off topic or anything(pls dont turn this into a race thread. this is IMO), but i hate this shit. this is why i think racism is still around. and maybe this is why people dont vote for kanye..because how he acts.

if i was in kanye's shoes....i wouldnt care about awards. people know who he is. he's a huge part of hip-hop. what more would i want.

[DRavenS13]

It makes me wonder if maybe they got together in a dark room somewhere and plotted this so they could sell more albums. It just seems so childish. But judging on how gassed Kanye is, and how stupid 50 is, I guess it's a real competition to them.

[2iv0 sx]

I tried my best to like the BABY BONDS track LOL

Gotta be Lil Weezy's worst work by far... haha it just sucked!

I felt like I wasted my money on 50's album, oh wells

Kanye West takes the win in the first week!!!!

[smellslikecurry]

look at all of you that bought both




fell into their game

[bamaboy]

I didn't fall into anyone's game. I bought Kanye because I'm a fan and I bought fiddy because I was hoping he made a change for the better. Curtis is better than the Massascre, but no where near as good as he thinks he is.

shittiest photohack ever...

im skipping that drunk and hot girls track everytime. Thats the first thing i thought when i heard it.."EMINEM TRACK WTF?".

[2iv0 sx]

Kanye was already mad at MTV for not letting him get the main stage to perform STRONGER, instead, MTV let Britney open up the show. Kanye said MTV only went for ratings... something like that

Here's his interview for those that are interested
http://media.hot97.com/_SHARED/podcasts/missjones_kanyewest_91007_5.mp3

He OD'ed at the end... haha

[KA24DESOneThree]

Kanye- Little whiny almost-skilled hip hop artist. Is he from the streets or a magnet school? We won't tell!

50 Cent- Shot 9 times and has stupid infectious beats. If he died I wouldn't care, anyone who sold crack should die.

If either one wins, we lose.

[ALTRNTV]

Last I heard, Kayne had 2-1 sales over 50. I heard that this morning on Power106.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

has stupid infectious beats.

if by infectious, you mean, wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot gangsta pole for fear of dying of gonorrhea, then yes. ugh. 50 cent. :mepoke:



kanye is alright, but he bitches too much. don't buy their shit.

"Kanyes album outsells 50s 2 to 1"

[Phlip]

So now instead of "I'll stop making albums if Kanye outsells me," it has become "I will release some new shit EVERY time Def Jam has a priority to sell..."
I said this shit was a bigass game back on one of the earlier pages in this thread, that only proves it.

[RUTH'LESSDET]

Im a die hard 50cent fan im from Queens (southside) I bought both albums im not a kanye fan but he got some hot tunes on this album....Kanye is not a lyrics he is a producer I bought this album because his beats are nice...fif on the other hand.........I cant even compare the two, because they dont even make the same kind of music.....Everybody says all this negative sh*t about fif but guess what he single handly is making hip hop HOT again:aw: doesn't everybody realize this no matter if he sells more or not. All his song out right now are all hot....END OF STORY!!!! 50 is a genius business wise if you cant see it then I dont know what to tell you all this hype spun off the whole "CURTIS" incident with camron and now look....You gotta admit whether you like him or not he is a great business man with only 4 YEARS in the game.....:bigok:

Sorry, but I have hard time seeing eye to eye with someone who's use of punctuation is limited to ellipses.

*My bad, just noticed the use of one (1) period and four (4) exclamation marks.

[JesusFreakDrifter]

get rich or die tryin' was a classic, however, curtis aint really the truth. he gets on ja rule for singin on his albums and now "fifty" turns around doin the same thing, business wise that was a great move, he got the female market on lock, but street cred is lost. the massacre had a couple of good songs on there but i wasn't feelin it. im glad kanye is ahead right now, cuz the man got a knack for samplin and makin good beats off those. i heard some samples off fifty new album. pure garbage. now kanye is egotistical and arrogant for no reason however i dont think anyone can deny his talent, from his freshman to his now junior album. and look at the work he did on common lp. was the #1 album in the nation. if i had to choose it would be fifty, syke, kanye ftw

[Unholy S14]

50 is not a rapper, he is a pop artist.

go back to the fucking candy shop

[djkowai]

Everybody says all this negative sh*t about fif but guess what he single handly is making hip hop HOT again

wait wait wait, i dont think i understand this. 50 cent makes hip pop. period.

50 is not hip hop


real hip hop artists dont sell out



king of new york my ass...jay z runs shit here

They're both fucking stupid.

But I will buy Kanyes just so 50 quits. (only because 50 said he would quit, if Kanye had said he would.. I'd be torn between the 2.)

Im a die hard 50cent fan im from Queens (southside) I bought both albums im not a kanye fan but he got some hot tunes on this album....Kanye is not a lyrics he is a producer I bought this album because his beats are nice...fif on the other hand.........I cant even compare the two, because they dont even make the same kind of music.....Everybody says all this negative sh*t about fif but guess what he single handly is making hip hop HOT again:aw: doesn't everybody realize this no matter if he sells more or not. All his song out right now are all hot....END OF STORY!!!! 50 is a genius business wise if you cant see it then I dont know what to tell you all this hype spun off the whole "CURTIS" incident with camron and now look....You gotta admit whether you like him or not he is a great business man with only 4 YEARS in the game.....:bigok:

i want to drop kick you.

50 is straight R&B nowadays.

if he made tracks like the ones off get rich or die tryin than maybe you can say what you are trying to say.

being a business man doesnt mean you make dope music.

[smellslikecurry]

50 is being a pussy and blaming his pathetic sales on Interscope...hes also not quitting and says that everytime Def Jam puts out a major record hes going to drop an album...what a big bitch

[2iv0 sx]

"MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE, BUT NUMBERS DON'T" - Jay Z

50 looking really stupid right now...

[A Spec Products]

haha word

if i got nominated and lost 5 times id be fucking pissed too...so would you...its easy to call him a bitch but put yourself in his shoes

Yeah man don't be hating

When you pour your life into something while having extreme passion for it and then you feel like no one is showing you love, of course you're gonna be upset

I would feel the same way

I just hate how the media always takes things like things and spins it into a big ordeal cause I'm sure this isn't the first time people have been upset at awards shows


50 is straight R&B nowadays.


Yeah, he's kinda like how LL Cool J was, and sorta what Fabolous is

When LL first dropped (with like "Bad" and "Radio"), that was all HARD ASS TRACKS. Granted he did have "I Need Love" but eventually after a while he stopped doing a lot of the "REAL" tracks and moved into a rap/R&B segment

I got no beef with that, cause he had to change with the times and a lot of good tracks came out of that like "Hey Lover" etc

As far as F-A-B-O goes, his main audience is actually women (something I really never thought about or knew), and most of his songs are the R&B type rap + a featured female vocal on it

I ain't mad at it, but that's just how 50's stuff kinda evolved as well

I gotta take another listen to Curtis maybe, but I just feel like maybe he didn't get the right beats? Or maybe just kinda got lazy since he made it to the top? Not hungry enough?

I'm a 50 fan too, you can't deny all the bangers he made (but you know I for love for The Game tho haha)

I think the difference between Kanye and 50 it seems is that Kanye continuously challenges himself (whether with new artists or new styles) while 50 doesn't necessarily flip his style or develop it as much

Granted 50's more of a rapper, while Kanye's more of a producer, so its hard to compare, since really they are from almost two different schools of music (whether you want to call it rap or hip hop)



king of new york my ass...jay z runs shit here

Reminds me of the lyric by Kanye from "Glory" where he says:

I hear people compare themselves to BIG a lot
You know BIG and Pac, you know the get it hot
I guess after I live I wanna be compared to BIG
Anyone, Big Pun, Big L, or Notorious
Fit in

I'm personally a fan of Masta Ace if you want to talk NY

Sorry, but I have hard time seeing eye to eye with someone who's use of punctuation is limited to ellipses.

*My bad, just noticed the use of one (1) period and four (4) exclamation marks.
There is always one dick head in a bunch huh????:mephfawk: :mephfawk: :mephfawk: :madfawk: :mephfawk:

[RUTH'LESSDET]

I cant answer everybodies replies to what i said but, in my previous statement i was not trying to say 50 is better than kanye. Personally I just cant compare the two. They are like apples and oranges. The only thing about them that is the same is there arrogance which i happen to enjoy from the two. I bought both albums and love them both if i had to say which one would sell more i would have to say kanye because I wouldn't wanna see little kids singing fully loaded clip (my favorite song). On the otherhand I good see kid singing good life. This hip hop thing is all smoke and mirrors simliar to WWF wrestling. Make up some drama to bring up albums sales.
Do you really think 50 doesnt know what he got him self into? Of course he does. This guy knows hip hop sales statistics like basketball stats just listen to any of his interviews in the past. I think he knew on this album his sales weren't gonna be as good as they were in the past(How the hell could he sell 12million records on his fourth album) so he created this "Curtis" album that spun from the beef with camron. I think it was great because at the end of the day he didn't sell more than kanye (according to current stats) but he's probably gonna go platinum anyway. If you go back a couple weeks ago to angie martinezs and j's interview she asked him what do you think about kanye vs 50 he said "I think its great for hip hop." People hip hop was dead before this kanye vs 50 Marketing extravaganza. Yes hip hop is about the love for the music but lets be real its about that paper at the end of the day.....My two cents.



p.s halveblue :mephfawk: i can use all the periods and exclamation marks i want whats it to you. What are you a god damn grammar teacher?????

[PBucch]

I take back everything I said, well not really. but I downloaded Kanye's album and I like it. I mean im really enjoying this guy, what a hater I am...

[yusoslo]

I downloaded both (from my susbscription music/ didnt buy the albums) The 50 Cent CD is trash, I do really really like Ayo Technology and Straight to the Bank.

The Kanye CD is leaps and bounds better. It has more depth more creativity and the beats are amazing.....old school/ piano/ violins....it's a musical experience and I highly recommend it. I do agree he is a douche but I dont care what the hell the guy does when he isnt makin music. Like do you really give two shits what Barry Bonds does when he isnt hitting home runs.

[sTalnOut]

shame shame shame how kanye crys once again hahahahahaha wat a lil beetch o wellz and his album is sold for $7.99 at bestbuy, seems like they whoring out his CD so it can some what sell more then 50. I got me 50 to add to my cd collection along with the whole gunit,dre,shady records. and ill go and DLoad kayne shit

[smellslikecurry]

you want a cookie?



logan...there are much better lyricists than Jay in NY but i say he runs ny currently because everyone sweats his shit and hes making bank on this whole kanye 50 ordeal...he is one smart dude.

Dont know if anyone heard this or not but..

50 Cent is not gonna release another CD!!

I heard if on the radio on the way home. Something about him being tierd and rich enough already. Just goes to show you whos in it for the money and whos in it for the love.

Wow, dude's been shot how many times? And all it took was some preppy kid from Chi to shut him up.

[Baka Sama]

^ That and I think he seriously just ran out of things to say. Hes not in the "hood" anymore and people can only take so many songs of him saying how much money he has. His style isnt that great either. Oh well, Im sure he'll be on somebodys remix.

[Baka Sama]

Heres the video of him saying he doesnt want to do it anymore.

http://www.defsounds.com/news/view/2456-5-cent-on-the-verge-of-quitting.html

[r6_240sx]

Out of the 2 CDs that came out I would have to say Kanye took the win.

Only thing about Kanye is that he oversamples (barely modifies the original song). Fittys music seems to be getting worse and worse, his old shit was hot and by old shit I mean stuff BEFORE Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

I didn't buy either of their albums anways, I only support Underground Hip-hop.

Ooooh yeah I love this song

Masta Ace - Nostalgia

But yeah I know what you meant about Jay

But even Biggie, he was one of the greatest, but when they called him King of NY I guess that's cool, but what about everyone else who's hot?

That's like when I hear people saying they're the King of the South (cough, T.I)...I mean I'm a big fan of T.I but cmon, that's like spitting in the face of the old school kings, like Bun B, Pimp C, 36 Mafia, etc

Masta Ace - A Long Hot Summer

DOPE ALBUM!

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh

*looking for masta ace on itunes*

[smellslikecurry]

beautiful is such a sick song...his metaphors are so fresh

[r6_240sx]

I agree, Masta Ace is dope. Underground emcees FTW.

[djkowai]

masta ace is forever dope, the beat on h.o.o.d. is classic and dont forget kweli, mr lif, phat kat, jadakiss, nas and many others come from new york...damn they got a lot of tight mcs

[DRavenS13]

i heard both releases. IMHO, Kanye has better flows and better beats, because he doesn't limit himself to being "gangsta" and all that mess. 50 was eventually gonna bottom out, the same way that Eminem did. You can only flow about the same shit for so long before ppl begin to get tired of it. Kanye comes out with some diff shit all the time. Kanye IS a producer. He is devoted to his music, even if his devotion to his own nuts is bigger. Kanye was gonna win this one regardless. I still dled both, because I wasn't gonna spend money on making either's balls bigger anyway.

that and kanye doesn't have to make any sense in his lyrics

[SimpleS14]

Yea...I heard both and I just don't like either, yet 50 Cent's album I can bare to listen to. Kayne had some nice beats, but gawd those lyrics kill it for me (it was hard to ignore). Anyone see that cover art on 50's album?

[bamaboy]

Anyone see that cover art on 50's album?
other than seeing his pubes sticking out of his boxers,that was the best part of the album

[A Spec Products]

Those are called "happy trails" LOL

Anyhow

Masta Ace is totally slept on though, cause he's got respect in the scene (from what I can tell from other artists/fanbase, etc) and been doing it for mad long, but he's never really broken into the mainstream

That is technically "good" to some of you, but I just wish he could get his shine, cause dude is way talented moreso than the garbage that's on the radio right now

It's kinda like how Common (previously Common Sense) was for mad years, then finally he's got his shine through the new Kanye movement and such

I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME!

To the year 19-ninety-RAWKUS

Soundbombing II! Rawkus Records, simply amazing what came out of that period

This was my second most favorite era in hip hop / rap history (first being the early 90's west coast movement OF COURSE)

So many hits, just to name a few:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR9QYOAl2rQ

High & Mighty ft Mos Def & Skillz - B-Boy Document 99

This beat is one of the ILLEST

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6Sl86Ndo3s

Common f. Sadat X - "1999"

I'm still gettin mines!

and this is one of my favorite Kanye joints:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZUpu4Z_4Oo

Kanye West f. Mos Def & Freeway - Two Words

I don't like Freeway as a solo artist as much as him as a featured artist...he spits a good verse on this one

[SimpleSexy180]

damn, late 90's...the forming years of underground hiphop.

"its like im fightin for freedom, writin for freedom....."

[r6_240sx]

That is technically "good" to some of you, but I just wish he could get his shine, cause dude is way talented moreso than the garbage that's on the radio right nowYou missed the point though, he does have his shine you even said it right here.
