Kanye VS. 50. Kanye sold more. AND?!?!?!?
I'm just curious about a couple of things. First, I wanna know what the Curtis groupies think about their hero being outsold by a younger, more talented rapper who makes his money without spitting rhymes that make all black people look bad.
Yes, I dissed 50.
The second thing is: Kanye is not my favorite rapper by far, but I picked him to do better than Curtis because I think that 50's style of sellout rap is coming to an end, and I think that people are starting to want to hear real music again. But like I said, I picked Kanye. Everybody's so hyped up on them, and since I'm one of the people that picked the winning side I want to ask, where's my Kanye prize?
Do we get a cut of the sales or something?
What's the big deal?

no cut on sales, but 50 did say that if kanye sold more records then him then 50 would quit making solo albums, which i think is bull cuz the man lovessss attention more than any rapstar. i picked kanye too cuz i just think 50's songs are gettin old and tiresome and the guy doesn't spring out anything new. kanye is diverse and although he is not my favorite, he is way better than 50 cent.

50 is lying, hes gonna drop another album later. Both of them played us, as a marketing hype. Its sad how artists dont make music for musics sake, its all marketing. "Im going to retire if kanye sells more", what a ignorant statement. I not really too much into kanye, but 50 is wakkkk. At least kanye is doing music for musics sake

HAHA u got played. If u really think about it... was Kanye's CD really that phenominal... I mean, did it change ur life around? I was pleased with the selections on his CD and admire how personally he spoke about situations in his life BUT let's be real... neither CD was a revolution starter. So.. I'm glad everyone jumped on 50 and kanyes d!$#s for like two weeks, but now that we're back to our regular scheduled programs... lol. sucka. 50 will always be my hoe and Kanye my b!$#@$... I did see 50 on 106th and park the day the albums dropped. I died laughing when 50 walked off the stage carrying his jean G-unit prized possession jacket, dragging on the floor like a lost kid in elementary school... gosh that boy is ugly. he's got a face only a mom could love. Kanye was so emotional... I can't stand that! I wish he'd be more humble... good thing is he has time to grow and time to build his reputation. right now he's not looking so great, but we'll see... u never know what these boys gon do?!?! I didn't choose a side before the CD's came out I just defended 50's ignorance and Kanyes emotions... the big deal is... everyone out here is hungry for some real sh!# to hit the radio waves, but that just aint happenin'... i can't relate to 50... i like his CD in the club and I like Kaynes CD when Im cleaning up around the house. The "I get money" joint... sure, i gets money but as soon as i get it it goes straight to bills! "get my money right" that's a lil more realistic for me in my life right now. Maybe these fake ballers out here like the 50 joint more... and let's see what their responses look like... fakin' bakin'... lol ~having too much fun over here~ lol
