That's actually pretty sick. This whole 9/11 album thing is goin crazy.......get that Kanye!!!
That really should be the cover of XXL not Rolling Stones..support ur ppl
already got that kanye on pre-order. they sent me the email today saying they mailed it out already.
Damn thats crazy! Two rappers make the cover for just thir albums. Wow and i thot the hip hop community were tha only ones who cared.
man you already know all the celebrities n shit gonna buy kanyes cd..all the older white mufuckers who say they listen to rap like tom cruise n shit LMAO...that gives kanye an advantage but 50 been around longer n got waaaaaaay more fans
aint it weird that they both fucked ther jaw up and got it wired shut..i wonder how 50's career would be dif if he never got shot and kanye if he never got in the accident.
Damn these niggas still making money and their Cd aint drop Yet...
is it me,or do fifty look like tiny from new jersey drive.
that cover is hot
yo you homo for that one
who will win???? ha ha ha u already kno who....kanye will win in the U.s and 50 will win worldwide...but on the long run kanye will beat 50
cosign...u damn right. kanye may win in the US but 50 got it worldwide
and they would lose my respect if they kissed JOKESTA

Sept. 11th, '07 is goin down in history
JOKESTA ADD THE VIDEO I POSTED
*smiles*
this aight
LOL 50 looks like a bully.....Kanye looks like the prey!
mann juss seeing that tho...like imagine these 2 niggas fighting...yo i really cant imagine kanye ever fighting...that shit wud b funni ass hell to me...i think 50 should do a boxing match u no like a exhibition cuz i heard da nigga brag that he be sparring with floyd mayweather....that shit would instant money...
who you think is gonna sell more kanye or 50. PLEASE REPLY
It's obvous it's gonna be Fifty cos worldwide sales would probably more than kanye's...I live in UK and over here every1 is anticipating fifty's album not kanye cos we don't do that CONSCIOUS RAP SHIT
^^^^^^^^^^^lol
yeah...50 will surely have a higher sales worldwide but Kanye will take it based on US sales. As far as album quality go, I prefer kanye's album cos its original and its something different and creative...
50 cent cd is WACK!!!!
and Kanye is great
I think 50 will do 4 mill
kanye will do close to 3 mill!
STUPID HUMANS
lol i posted this on the forums...lol this shit be reminding me of chappelle show with dylan
at any moment any of these two would say

thanks! 4 sho
imma buy 50 cause im more of a 50 fan but i might get both cause kanyes shit is hot too
but im definitely buyin curtis
yeah...it's cool to see how much we want to hype up this "wannabe beef"...i thought we were on the road to create peace...but fucc it..conflict sales more records..is why all this stupid media hype can get enuff of this "YE" AN fif shit...to me skills an persona sale..not hype an conflict..is all fake...but fuck it..more power to the goverment..they sure know how to sucker us in to go long with this vince mcmahon shit wannabe..HOlL.A!!!
AN NEITHER IS GOING TO BE THE "KING OF HIP-HOP" AS far as i knew..i thought hip hop already had a King"...NEITHER FIF OR YE IS A KING...GREAT MUSICIANS..BUT KINGS THEY'LL NEVER BE.....
I dont know about worldwide...but here in sweden kanye and his single Stronger got all the chicks crazy in the dancefloor and people are really feeling kanye, but people barely even know 50 is coming with an album, some have heard that joint with timberlake...but kanye got it here
stronger get constant airplay here and noone is getting old if it .. AUS ive heard ayo tech once
its obvious whos gonna win,i mean ya cant compare 50 wit kanye,even if kanyes shits gonna be hot e still wouldn outsell 50 world wide unless def jam buy all his records like they did wit jayz album.
I got both they shit they both are hot ill tell you right now its up to wat type of sound you like if you like hardcore go with fifty. if you like alternative go with kanye. but niether is better than their first albums so dont beileve that this is my best album bullshit.
greatest marketing plan in this decade.... This actually gives me a reason to buy both albums AND pick up this magazine....bravo! bravo!
1st of all 50 need a shape up he lookin like a crackhead who aint had a bath in bout a year! 2nd 50 aint touchin Kanye on 9/11 do the damn thing Ye!!!
50 cd turned out 2 be pretty fuckin wack.... i thought that shyt was gonna be bumpin
yea it sucks!
Man Down, Still Kill, and Fully Loaded Clip plus Amusement Park is all i like
Compare that shyt to Kanye cd...AAACCKK! NOPE!
Kanye>50!
lmao at 50's eyebrows
damn- no joke, 50 look like a ape right there, not even tryin ta b funny
well shit niggaz fifty alwayz look like a damn ape fo no reason. his cousin two five do too.
im buying 2 curtis
curtis got it.....gggggggggg-gunit
I'm copping both for the sake of nothing.
how dumb! lol
kanye look like he lookin out into space like so weirdo and 50 look like hes just about to fuck up kanye....go ahead and call him an ape that gurilla will fuck yo shit up!!!!
Hey mitch...look at it in a different light then. 50 is looking so short term such as just what's in front of him(at Kanye)....Kanye ..seems to be looking past 50 (into the future). Just playin devil's advocate and giving you that next thought, but we'll leave artistic interpretation with the experts or whatever.
But yo...they faces a lil awkwardly close...they could have did like another inch away, heh.
50 may outsell Kanye worldwide, but I don't think it's going to be by such a huge margin (1mill tops I think). It's like the presidential race and we're looking to see what regions each artist has one. So far it seems 50 has UK (prolly Germany too) and Kanye has Japan and Sweden. I say Japan because that Stronger video was TAILORED for Japan (other than the Daft Punk ship remake in the video from the original song sampled, it also has hints of the anime Akira in it) It's looking like a close race so far.
50 outsold The Minstrel Show in 2005 BUT WHO CARES...they had a much and i mean WAY MUCH MORE BETTER CD THAN the Massacre...lets be serious
Who cares if 50 outsell him???
Kanye gonna do the usual even if its only 2 or 3 mill
A nygga do so many copies dont make him the best
So if Soulja Boy do a diamond...DOES THAT MAKE HIM THE BEST?? HELL NO!
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MINSTREL SHOW?
that little brother was the hottest album out that year. followed by dangerdoom's adult swim album. but that the life of indi artist. never get the radio play
YES IT WOULD!!!!!
SOULJA BOY IS THE KING OF HIP HOP!!!!
THIS 50/KANYE COMPETITION IS FOR THE "PRINCE OF HIP HOP"
SOULJA BOY SELLIN EVERYBODY IN '07!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH YYYYYUUUUUAAAAAHHHH!!
I feel "hatemebytch".... album sales dont mean shit as to how good of an artist you are.... Yall niggas be gettin that shit confused like shit....
Robert Horry has won about 6/7 NBA titles... does that mean he's on Jordan's level, and better then A.I who hasnt won shit.... EXACTLY
The Teddy Bear VS The Gorilla.....
even 50z face on the cover kinda shows that he is more serious bout that day than mr west
50 all the way.......kop curtis
50 gonna outsell kayne witout a doubt no point even trying to argue about it (kayne fans) but still 50 aint no were near as good as he use to be.
First Id like to say I love both artists, so my comment is biased... But for anyone to truly think Kanye will outsell 50 is absolutely wishful thinking... 50s 1st album - 12 mill, 2nd album - 10 mill... kanyes 1st two albums did 2 - 3 million... look at the difference in the following... 50 simply has more of a following by about 70%+.. he is the floyd mayweather of hip hop, and if you disagree, its simply because, you just wish he wasnt
i meant ISNT biased
The Beast 50 VS The teddy bear ..... who s gay will buy Kanye ,hetero will buy 50
Curtisss!!! 9/11 get that Curtissss!!! it's gonna be hotter tha Graduation 50 looks like he is ready to rip apart Kanye on da cover
I just have a question for the folks that think Kanye will win...us..worldwide or whatever....Kanye hasnt out-sold 50 in the US or Worldwide on any cd so what makes u think that this one will be any different??....
I agree that selling the most doesnt make u the best artist or mean u have the best cd...I like the artist are actually calling out names and going head to head with each other and go back and make changes to out do the other one....that just means more good music for us.....right???...I like that this music industry is about Hip Hop right now....we fell off with the pop and r&b and alternative music taking over the charts....do u guys realize we are talking about HIP HOP artists battling for number 1 and 2 on the billboard charts...NOT the JET top twenty...or the hip hop bill board but the BILLBOARD for all genres off music....I LOVE IT MAN....this is what hip hop is suppossed to be...whether u like one artist or the other...they both gonna be on 106 and park on sept 11th and both are gonna make alot of money so more power to them....this is a music beef....and im ok with that.
Curtis is just...average. It's better than Massacre but it's still not in the same place as Get Rich. I'm gonna bump it, but there's no song thats worth replaying over and over again... I like 50. I'm just not gonna front and act like it's a hot CD when it's not. It's decent but no one's going to write home about it. It's just ok and if he outsells Kanye then thats whats up, but the CD won't get that many spins at the end of the day.
Graduation is hot. It's going to get accolades but I think people just had higher expectations and that's KanYe's fault for setting the bar so high with his last two albums. He's a better writer and every beat on this CD is fire, every song except maybe one is worth replaying and rewinding..I think I listen to some of those tracks like 3 times before moving on to the next one. It's a high quality Cd, but it feels like something is missing.
It indeed feels like a compilation of singles. I think that two or three non-single but quality songs would have made this album one of the best hip hop albums of all time...Heck even two clever skits added may of fleshed it out. I know he wants the CD to flow better but it feels disconnected from the rest of the school series. I think he could of made it work. He also did things with late registration that were cool that he didn't do here, like breaking typical rap format. In some songs he let the beat ride and then came back with more lyrics. I don't know... If I had never heard Kanye's last two CD's, I wouldn't even have anything to complain about.
Thats my review. I'm hoping the final pressed CDs have things that I don't expect, so I can say my review is null, but we'll just have to wait till 9/11.
On the real, i already downloaded those 2. there nothin special really, although i listen to kanye's a lil more. i'm waitin to cop that 40 Cal "Broken Safety 2". it also comes out on 9/11
yo on some real shit kanye's cd is not that original it got the same feel as his other cd's but its hot but 50 album was better if you couldnt bump to 50 then u must not like 50 off rip cause 50 cd was hot my niggas
I co-sign Sanders, 50 album is o.k. nothing special. Its a lil advanced from Massacre but it doesn't have the deep thought tracks like "Postion of power" and "Baltimore Love Story" but it has some solid bangaz. Its an average album. Better than most albums that have come out tho in the last year (T.I., Common and Talib Kweli not included in that).
Best track to me on 50's album is I'll Still Kill ft. Akon
Kanye West (currently bumping now), the beats are really good as expected. Lyrically its top notch shit. Kanye has upped his flow, its not on a Hov level but he's gettin there if he hasn't peaked yet. I think with Kanye that seperates him from other 50 in particularly is that he connects with the people. Yes 50 can connect to the streets somewhat but he doesn't speak for the working man. I guess its depends where you are in life that you will base your opinion from.
Best song on Kanye album is "Big Brother" (my opinion)
Kanye 9/10 50 6.5/10
(I haven't read DefSounds review of Curtis yet)
There ain't no new king of hip hop,Nas still wearing that crown,and jigga ready to catch it if it ever slips off.
50 is finna win the sales, which I hate to say, but I aint a bg fan of either, actually I hate 50, but if he does lose then he better fuckin retire like he said he would
shtis all a fucking gimmick... fuck 50 and im not buying either but i will DL kanye's shit
fuck it, im buyin kanye album and 40.cal album, lol fuck 50!
IF YOU HATE 50 YOU GOING TO BUY THE ALBUM OR LISTENIN TO IT SOONER OR LATER SO JUST SHUT YO MOUTH ITS GOOD MUSIC AND KANYE IS NOT EVEN IN 50 CENTS LEVEL SO HAPPENS HE CAME OUT THE SAME DAY ITS REALLY 50S FAULT THIS BLEW UP THE WAY IT IS
yeh kayne smart as.. no 50 is a queer cunt i can listen to any kayne song and enjoy it 50s a joke .... jump on his cock you hardcore fan
HAHAHAHA NIGGA YOU MAKE ME LAUGH REGARDLESS WHAT YOU SAY I SPEAK THE TRUTH

WELL I HAVE BOTH ALBUMS,ME AND 4 OF MY HOMIES HAVE LISTENED TO THEM BOTH AT LEAST 4 TIMES THROUGH...4 OUTTA 5 VOTED FIF'S ALBUM IS BETTER BUT KANYE'S IS MORE CREATIVE.
