Kanye West Vs. 50 Cent -- Rolling Stone

Kanye West Vs. 50 Cent -- Rolling Stone

Kanye West and 50 Cent are battling it out on Rolling Stone’s next cover. The big showdown happens in less than a week when their albums drop on the same date, September 11th. Here’s an excerpt of “Who Will Be The King Of Hip-Hop?”:

“My first album was the highest-selling LP of 2003,” 50 Cent says, pointing to the fact that 2003′s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ moved more than 800,000 copies in the four days after it dropped. He goes on to note that his follow-up, The Massacre, was the second-highest-selling album of 2005. “That album sold something like 1.14 million in four days. Jay-Z‘s last album sold something like 1.6 total. Kanye works for Jay-Z. Kanye is a worker bee. He’s never been able to generate a fraction of the interest that I have.”

Kanye gets my vote. I don’t even like rap but he manages to make me like him. There’s something about him.

I don’t think there is any competition. Sure selling albums is important but is surely doesn’t determine who has the better album. 50′s albums are all lame, simple **** that exist in a whole different category than Kanye’s albums, which are unique, influential and important. 50 is a gimmick. Sell all you want 50 your **** still stinks.

Hey everybody…let’s all just buy the Kenny Chesney CD. That will show these two idiots, especially 50. I for one hate country music, but I’ll buy two or three Chesney CD’s to shut them up forever.

50 all the way. Kanye is an annoying Jesus freak

Kanye is better-looking that’s for sure but both could be thugs in those photos. I only liked one or two of 50 Cents’s songs – the one about the birthday in the club (I don’t know the name of it-ha). The music & beat is too fantastic. I’m not into rap music, but that song is a classic and great dance music.

Then again, Kanye did the one about the gold digger and it was great and had a good beat too. I also like the one about Jesus. He performed it on one of those award shows one year and it was classic.

Both should watch their mouths though. Bring it down a few notches and act like the successful gentlemen they can be. Stop the anger and making statements like they know so much. They are arrogant. They act like the world owes them something. They should be more grateful and they will be around for a long time.

As long as this “feud” is friendly and strictly for entertainment, I’m OK with it but let’s not forget what went down with Tupac and Biggie…

Who really cares? They are both ghetto thugs! It just goes to show….you don’t need talent to sing this crap they call Rap. I’m with JY, Go Kenny Chesney! Woo Hoo!

Um Stephanie, you do realize Kanye grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and Japan for some time. Ghetto? You sure about that? I’m not even a Kanye fan but that’s the wrong category you’re stuffing him in or are you just basing it on the fact that he’s a rapper?

I don’t think anyone on this site knows anything about hip hop, its completely over their heads. This site caters more to redneck country western fans. lol

50 looks like Mike Tyson!

White people always label tough looking black people as “thugs” and stuff them into the “ghetto” category.

Kanye is probably smarter than Tallchic and Stephanie combined. And them some.

To “UGHLY” why would you say that they look like thugs, I don’t get it, there is nothing thuggish about these photos. And your comments are baltently ignorant, you have no clue what you’re talking about.

To “TALLCHICK” I suppose the trailer park you come from isn’t considered ghetto right. Opps that’s right only people of colour can be ghetto while white ***** like you live in your trailers and screw your uncles & cousins!!!

Wow Jared never realized what kind of a racist, white trash following your site has, pretty sad indeed. Guess I will be visiting this site a lot less or maybe you should limit your posts to only white celebrities or “non-ghetto/thuggish” entertainers.

Geez, trying to generate interest the both of them by these lame feuds?? I don’t need to buy I can get them both for free from the web as a matter of fact I already got them. I only like 1 song from each, so there.
