Before I get back to my series on fashion, I have to say a few things about this 50 vs. Kanye battle royal on 9/11. I'm pretty sure that it's common knowledge that Graduation will be light years ahead of Curtis in terms of quality, and if you don't believe me just listen to the 5 (yes 5) singles that Curtis has dropped in last few weeks. All of them, with the exception of "I Get Money", is lukewarm garbage and really "I Get Money" is mediocre at best. But considering 50's previous numbers, I would say he has the edge when judging by past performance. So this morning when I made my rounds throughout the internet gathering the latest hip hop news, etc. I was excited to see this:
"Let's raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums." (sohh)
Now I don't actually believe 50 will quit making solo records but I know it has to hurt his pride if Kanye does out sell him. So do me a favor and make sure you pick up Graduation so we can watch the G-Unit "empire" tumble down like a game of jenga.
i keep reading people quote that "if kanye sells more records ill no longer write music" but i've yet to see that written myself from sohh? go kanye's graduation though!
ReplyDeleteSo we're favoring one arrogant, moderately talented rap-singer over another arrogant, moderately talented rap-singer? I wouldn't be all that sad if both of their careers crashed and burned and they had to go get 9-to-5's and experience life like the rest of us.
ReplyDeletedang kev lol.. i like kanye he's the total package
ReplyDeleteYeah Kanye is the total package. He's improving lyrically and I dont think any rapper can match his passion and precision. Any record that he puts out, you know its gonna put his heart and soul in it.
