Posted August 4, 200717 yr Regardless of what 50 Cent thinks, Kanye West says he's not blinking: His album will be coming out the same day as the leader of the G-Unit. "The date Graduation is September 11, we ain't moving" West said Sunday night at the Beacon Theatre where he was waiting to perform with Lil Wayne Kanye is embracing the friendly competition with the man he recently produced a track for (see "Kanye West And 50 Cent Set For Epic Battle: Both Releasing Albums On September 11"). The Grammy winner says two heavyweights coming out on the same day is monumental for the game. "I'd rather come out on a day like that, up against 50 — where people are excited about going to the stores and it's an event and people talk about it — and be #2 on that day rather than come out and be #1 on a day nobody cares about," West said. "It's about things going down in history. It's not that much exciting stuff in hip-hop right now. I think people are going to make it more than what I'm making it myself. At the end of the day, I'm making music and I'm trying to sell."

August 4, 200717 yr Well Kanye in his prime but Fiddy's popularity is going to start falling now, so Mr West ^_^
August 4, 200717 yr Kanye will come out on top methinks! I like both of em' but I think Kanye is more respected as a rapper than fiddy has & will ever be!
August 4, 200717 yr 50 will clean up in America everything the man does gets talked about. Kanye will sweep the uk depending on how "Ayo Tech" does over here. But Worldwise 50 will win easy
August 4, 200717 yr This is tough to call. 50's popularity seems to be decreasing nowadays but his new single is a big single with a huge guest star on it, so I think might give him the edge in the UK. Kanye should beat him in the UK though. Stronger's seems to be very popular over here at the moment.
August 4, 200717 yr 50 Cent will beat him, as far as I know, people show more interest into 50 Cent then Kanye.
August 4, 200717 yr Kanye West. 50 Cent has released four singles now in the US and they've done nothing.
August 4, 200717 yr Author Kanye West. 50 Cent has released four singles now in the US and they've done nothing. Has he :o I've only heard I Get Money and Ayo Technology, IGM supposedly being the "street single for the fans" like Kanye West's "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and Ayo Technology being the official single going to radio about now....what wre the other 2?

Straight To The Bank Amusement Park Ayo Technology I Get Money
August 4, 200717 yr Author Oh reet I've heard of those Perhaps 50 is quite desperate then :o His new stuff doesn't even sound like his old stuff
August 4, 200717 yr All got music videos, too. I don't think anyone's checking for 50 Cent, to be honest.
August 4, 200717 yr Oh reet I've heard of those Perhaps 50 is quite desperate then :o His new stuff doesn't even sound like his old stuff That's probably the problem. He's in Ciara's new single over there and releasing this fourth single with Justin and Timbo, so I guess he's "bringing in the heavies" and hoping those are hits for him, enough to get people interested in his music.
August 4, 200717 yr Straight to the bank didnt flop, it got to #32 on the hot 100 :puke2: The rest did, though.
August 4, 200717 yr I know :lol: I particularly loathe 50, he's a foul man. He said in an interview he lost his virginity at 12 to a 21 year old woman, but it didn't matter because he was 'ready'!
August 4, 200717 yr I don't like him as a person, but some of his songs are quite good. Not so much his latest efforts, but stuff from his "Get Rich ..." & "The Massacre" album.
August 4, 200717 yr Kanye by an absolute mile, over here anyway. There is little interest in Fiddy in the UK anymore and 'Stronger' will be massive upon release.
