Who’s your favorite… Kanye or 50?
KANYE WEST is winning the battle of the rap albums against 50 CENT in the US, early figures show.
Perhaps tempted by 50 Cent’s threat to stop releasing solo material if Kanye beats him in sales, album-buyers have been turning to Kanye’s GRADUATION rather than his rival’s CURTIS over the last two days.
Figures suggest Kanye’s album could shift some 700,000 copies in the first week, outstripping 50 Cent’s third album, which was released on the same day.
Meanwhile, the outspoken rapper has again slammed BRITNEY SPEARS’ comeback performance at the MTV awards this week, after whinging that he should have been allowed to open the show instead.
He told US radio show Sirius Satellite Radio’s Morning Mash Up: “Man, they were trying to get ratings. They knew she wasn’t ready and they exploited her.”
He added: “They exploited her, they played me and I really don’t mess with MTV.”
Britney’s attempt at performing her new single GIMME MORE was universally panned as “embarrassing” and “zombie like” by critics.

go kanye go!! he is just like every artist that feels they are jipped when they go and preforme and get nominated over and over and over again, with no payoff!! he’s a hell-of-a-lot more intelligent artist in hip hop then a good majority of them out there. he writes and produces allot of his music. i say he’s the kelly clakrson of hip hop. high-five kanye for not selling out and speaking your mind!!!!

Neither. They’re both like school bullies who want to one up each other.

kanye is talented but he disgraces himself & the people around him whenever he throws a temper tantrum, which is quite frequently. he needs to learn to shut his mouth. i love his music, but he is such a hot-head. as a musician, he is really, really talented. but he is just a terrible human being.
i’m team 50, for sure

Neither…they are both full of themselves and think they are more important in the music industry than they actually are.. Kanye’s ego is so huge I cannot believe he could fit it into the VMA’s.
