Click here to watch New Music Tuesdays: 50 Cent Vs. Kanye West.
The showdown has arrived: Today 50 Cent’s Curtis goes head-to-head with Kanye West’s Graduation at record stores. So who’s got the edge? Rolling Stone’s Joe Levy says both albums are incredibly ambitious in different ways. He calls the gritty, cinematic Curtis Boyz N the Hood meets Wall Street, and notes that West’s unique album is geared for the YouTube/MySpace age, where everyone’s a star and can therefore theoretically relate to Kanye’s rhymes about the struggles of celebrity. Watch the video for more of Levy’s review, plus clips from both albums.
