You cannot tell me Kanye’s work is more realler, not now and not in a million years, never period
50’s always talkin bout the crazy shit in his hood, and you cant be more realler than Many Men [Wish Death], Hustlas ambition, hate it or love it, god gave me style, I dont need em, posistion of power, Smile, THE WHOLE “Power of a Dollar” album, Baltimore love thing,and all the hard shit on curtis, and last Smile

what does kanye got, do you like him because he cant stop mentioning jesus? or is it because you like the diamonds and money or the porno magazines he reads in the good life video, maybe you like his qote he took from 50 “go head’ switch the style up and if they hate then let em’ hate and watch the money pile up”

OH yeah n i seen tha ja rule videos wit this niggeh talkin shyt about 50 again..PLEASE FIFTY IF U READIN THIS SHYT..KIL THAT NIGGEH..FUK EM..NOBODY WILL MISS EM..

Both rapper have gift some pplz out there hating on them it is cause of money maybe but da real hip hop is back go 50 all da way Kanye

kenye sux

kenye sux

50 cent is all day so what u know about 50 cent

People are stupid for talking slick about either of these dude at the end of the day its business. They know what it takes to make sells and they are straight bringing it.They are talking it back to the old school when hip hop was fun exciting and creative!! They taking it back to when hip was about battling and all that !! Now that’s what’s up getting back to what makes hip hop great. My hats off to them I give the mad respect!!! They are putting the anticipation back into hip hop and only two great artists can do that because if 1 of them sucked nobody would care!! They are sitting somewhere partying laughing at all of yall that don’t get it!!They are standing up and making a statement and making alot of noise in the hip hop community.Gotta love that!!! Now lets see how many more gonna jump in and bring it back hard like them when this is all over.

I must say that it’s been quite a while that i personally got this attached to any hip hop chatter. This is good for the industry, publicity breeds familiarity however long time musical success is a product of better talent. Kanye just artistically ended 50’s career.

Due to the racist beliefs that Kanye has said in so many past interviews I feel 50 should win. I will wait for Kanye to say “give a black man a chance”, just like after the VMA’s.

Stop disrespecting Kanye, I’ll tell you why he’s winning because most of 50’s fans are broke. I just got 2 Kanye cd’s this morning and my boy is going to buy 4 and my other buddy is buying two more. Winners listen to Kanye DOG.

kanye’s got alot of wussies followin him…he sounds like hes cryin on the mic “i need U to make me stronger” wtf

hrell no not guud enuff corny

hrell no not guud enuff corny

yeah i think 50 should win hes not a very good influence but he has brought alot to the rap game

Yo Straight Up Kanye Got Mo Fans, Haten Ass People Gone Feel Real Stupid When He Sell Mo CD’s

Seattle, I wish it was temporary. do you realize that in three years this music will have been around for 30 years? But the sugar hill gang and run dmc were fun. This is pure trash, no depth, no meaning, no use.

its funny how people diss kanye for all the wrong reasons; hes an average rapper (maybe slightly below average, but really, who cares enough to critique unless your really that pretentious) but one heck of a producer.. the only criticism you can really give him is that he has a tendency to ‘over-produce’ but lyrically who cares… do you really think bands like jurassic 5 and the roots sit around and think “hey lets make really good lyrics that some white kid will enjoy”

you’re very clever

50 Cent does his “The ROCK” impression while Kanye tries to keep a straight face. meanwhile both artists sucker the public into buying into the hype and purchasing substandard music that maintains status quo. Each helps perpetuate African American stereotypes in their own way 50 with gangster talk, and Kanye with gold digger women are substandard talk. IT all adds up to inequality and the white CEOs continue to get money in their pockets.

I created a dictionary, why don’t you use it. this is Rolling Stone for God’s sake. Show some respect and spell the words properly… carrier, ummm no it’s Career… At least we know who’s working and whose not LOL
Hopefully 50 will sell more, i would hate for him to retire.

i pray 50 quits that useless piece of trash

Kanye West is a fraud ever since he converted to Judiasm

I wonder if Kanye has a big penis!?? He looks as if he is packin that huge pipe!

Who cares about either of these fucking tools.

Well, atleast no one who cares about music. I grant they have pop culture relevance-but thank god that is very temporary.

It sounds like alot of haters on here. both albums are going to be historic and i hope that all of ya’ll who had something negative to say miss the bandwagon when it’s time to jump on. as for the one’s who really “hate” 50 to the point that they want to put their hand on him….. You really need a life, the dude already said he was “stanky rich” you think he care that you don’t like him, as crazy as he is he probably likes it. you all should get a life and respect what hip hop is in 2007.

like word to your mother and wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care and shit

I’d like to beat 50 to death with a fuckin’ rake!

I’ve listened to both albums. Verdict:

Kanye- not even his best album but it’s better than everything out there.
50- same “I’ve got guns and money and I’ll shoot you” repetitve garbage

Hey 50, ooooooooooo, I’m scared!!! Man, I could beat the living fuck out of that guy!

It’s pretty evident to tell what 50 and Kanye are actually thinking on the cover:(sings)”My shape up is better than yours!” Seriously though, this is the ultimate battle of flair vs. intensity. Yessir!

Here’s a BETTER idea: WHEN (and it will) Kenny Chesneys’ new album
blows’em away…they should finally
“man up” and BOF retire!

I’m voting for Liquid Feces in ‘08, that’s all I know.

Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I heard some solid rhymes outside of maybe J5 or something.

85 cent? That’s funny. But you’re selling yourself short. Why not call yourself $19.95 and blow his ass completely off the map!

What a bore. Once again Rip-Hop has fallen to the point of a faux battle to try and spark interest.

What’s even worse is the scheme most likely will work.

They they hard to look tuff , but they are a joke.
posers

Hey look at me. I’m better than 50 cent because I’m 35 cent more than him dammit!

jughead and tanz obviously u aint from the ghetto cause its not all peace and pretty flowers music is from the soul wat u see and hear growing older, so all u haters u talk about what they should rap about go listen to the beatles and quit bashin our music, and personally i think 50 will sell more albums but kanyes work is far more real then 50s for sure 50 is more about wat i had to do and wat i got now and kanye comes from real stuff like tupac.

I agree with Tanzania. These guys should rap about peace and love and pretty little flowers and cute kittens and helping one another and rap about how much of a beautiful world it is that we live in. That will sell a whole lot of albums and is a lot more realistic than the shit they actually rap about.

It’s going to be close but I think Kanye got this one! Fif is that cat though, not counting him out by a long shot.

Oh, what’s this? Both Kanye and 50 cent are coming out with CDs on 9/11? Ok here’s what I think of that, hold on….just a minute it’s building up… *****faaaaaaarrrrrrtt******. Ahhhhhh, that was nice. That’s dedicated to the album release.

They are all gud but they should talk more of pearce and love to one another

Kayne has always been the more politically correct artist. He dresses like an upper class kid (except for a couple of his award show outfits) and will have an easier time getting soccer moms buy his album. That being said, 50 Cent has been the biggest artist in music since his debut album and is the American Dream. Don’t hate on 50……..

Those are 2 scary looking dudes. I wouldn’t want to be alone on a dark street late at night with those guys.

50 is cool but I will always love and support Kanye. All hail King Kanye when he wins!!!!

Hooray! More hyper macho anthems about murder, effeminate men, and other “urban” stereotypes…

Two words…..SPELL CHECK

I’ll wait 6 weeks and buy them at the pawn shop for $2 each.

fuk ya all 50 wil win kanye is shit back the fuk of 50 not like any of us good do any beta

Its All Good Music!

Yo they are wack son, put some jimi hendrix on and respect real black men

fuxk them both

king of hip hop is 2pac till the end of the world

Kanye West.

anyways? jesus.

If they need a marketing scheme to sell albums, it tells me a lot about their priorities: cash before musical achievements.

they really didnt need to do this ppl are going to buy both anyways. if you like 50 you’ll buy his not kanyes and it goes the other wayy too.

Boy, 50 is trying too hard to look like a bad ass! I guess he’s using all his strength to hide the fact that he likes to lay around his penthouse in women’s lingerie!!!

HUGE publicity stunt look how many albums they both are gonna sell because of all this!

I am glad that MOST people realize that this is a friendly competition and hype mongering for the sake of selling both albums. It’s obvious that these two respect and admire one another. If only Biggie and Tupac (or the people that egged them on) realized that Rap Music at its core was always about battling on wax not with violence, then maybe we’d still have those two Rap greats.

Hrmmm….

Didn’t this fight happen 15 years ago? Man, Buster Douglas opened up a can ‘o whoop ass on Tyson!

HEY GUYS, YOU ARE BOTH ATTRACTIVE,TALENTED,INTELLIGEN T GENTLE MEN, YA KNOW LADYLIBERTY IS ONE&ALL! SHE SAYS:”DEFIE THE LIE&UNIFY !”

what exactly has 50 done to this industry

So many people hate on 50. How can you not like him? He changed the music industry. Nobody is doing or has done what he he is doing right now. Stop hatin’!!!!

It’s Gonna Be interesting to say the least. If 50 wins i think it will have alot to do with his sucsess with the Massacer. Kanye is a insane artists, likewise with 50 anyones game still… I’m putting money on Kanye as the better album but 50 will sell more…prehaps.

we all know that kanye will win this battle in the beging of 50 carrier he bought beats from kanye & kanye is real hip hop

Kanye should win and will win.

We Are Witnessing History

Kanye should win but 50 will win.

Who really cares! They both are horrible

the interview was good you guys should get with vh1 or mtv and broadcast the whole thing in a half hour time slot, or 1hr however much interview you have. good stuff

O.N.E.
