Pop Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Now that Kanye has officially declined to participate in a presidential-style debate with 50 Cent (a.k.a. Curtis Jackson) on BET's 106 & Park over whose album is better, Jackson has "raised the stakes" with the declaration that if West's forthcoming album Graduation--due to drop September 11, the same day as 50 Cent's Curtis--outsells his, he will quit releasing albums altogether. "I'll no longer write music," Jackson said in a statement to hip-hop website SOHH.com. Our mission is clear. Kanye must win.

Musopticon? Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I don't know if it's possible to win against the wigger throng. It's a like a massive seething avalanche of fugly mainstream.

Deraldin Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 50 Cent has proven that you can't shoot him to get rid of him. So, we could buy Kanye's album, have 50 Cent stop making, whatever it is, and then shoot Kanye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musopticon? Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 As far as I understood, it's like comparing Timberlake's sold albums with Gareth Gates' sold albums. I mean, we are talking about huge numbers here, but there's an obvious gap. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

Baley Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 The thing is none of 50's singles have been really catching on, and they're getting pretty desperate about it - see the recent Robin Thicke debacle (and, yes, I really doubt 50's been throwing around TVs at label execs). Basically, they've been spurting out songs frenetically for months now hoping someone would just notice. And suburban white boys have been ridiculously - aggressively? - out of the loop for almost two years: they're simply not buying hip-hop like they used to (last year was the worst year sales-wise since the early 90s, I think). Not to mention the general awfulness of his last album (as opposed to his second, which was only, uh, halfway awful). I mean, if hip-hop's goldenboy, TI, hasn't managed to reach platinum one month in, who's seriously betting on Curtis Jackson? (I'm so not gonna make a vitamin water joke, by the way.) By how much does 50 Cent outsell Kanye West, usually? The Massacre outsold Late Registration by about 8 million records. That was 2 years ago. Still, I'd rather methodically review 50's entire output than buy a Kanye West record. And that's not - uh, solely - because I'm cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have heard only two 50 Cent songs and two Kanye West songs, and both only once. This is only because I resolve to listen to at least two songs before I start not listening to them. So far, avoiding both of them has been quite easy. Really, if you don't want to hear them, then just ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 The quicker commercialised gangsta dies the better as far as I'm concerned. LOL check out my expert dissing behaviour.

Arkan Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Whoever wins...we lose. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baley Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 So I was like gonna make a joke about how women are dumb because they buy into the spiel of such a closeted black cooch hater, but then I stopped because, while Hip Hop has been unmistakably eroding my respect for the female kin, I still harbor a lot of esteem and amity for the triumphs and innate skills of these flinty femmes who've so bravely dashed towards equality time and time again without a modicum of flagellation or vag-self-hate... I guess what I'm trying to say ladies is, I love you like a fat kid loves cake and I respect your feelings as a female and a human. (There.)
