Both of there albums come out on the same day. Who will sell more?
I think 50 Cent will becasue he's more well known but i think Kanye West's song called "Can't Tell Me Nothing" is better than all the songs on 50 cents album.
Also 50 Cent said If Kanye West Sells more 50 Cent will retire :O
kanye west is better imo. his single stronger is doing wayy better than 50 cents ayo technology or w.e its called in the charts atm.
I used to like 50 cent.. but now he's all washed up.. Not as good as he used to be.. and besides; he was planning on retiring pretty soon anyways.. lol
Kanye West will probably do better.. he seems to be bigger right now
Kayne is doing v well.
Kanye is whupping fiddy.
50 didn't say he'd quit... he said;;
'In July 2007, West changed the release date of Graduation, his third album, from September 18, 2007, to the same release date as 50 Cent's album Curtis, September 11, 2007. This means that the albums will go head-to-head and compete for better sales against each other. 50 Cent later claimed that if Graduation were to sell more records than Curtis, he would stop releasing solo albums.
Only albums, so he will still make other songs :P
I prefer Kanye
Probably 50 Cent, even though Kanye West is much better.
kanye west. 50 is for all those wannabe 'gangsters'
plus, kanye didnt have to lie about being shot 9 times to sell his music.
Kanye worked with Timberland on some of his songs, and Timberland is doing really good at the moment.
50 did really get shot 9 times :l he got shot near his mouth thats why he speaks like that. Before he got shot, he never spoke like that.Quote:

Kanye west ftw!
kayne>50cent.
i prefer kanye west. worldwide though (unfortunately) i think curtis will sell more copies.
kanye is a lot better than 50. i think kayne will do better with his album.
kanye ftw.
fiddy said he'd quit music if kanye's album sells more. which it probably will. graduation has much more hype and kanye has a much more solid fanbase.
Kanye isnt just a rapper.. Hes a producer.. He makes most rap songs.. Even if you dont know it.. Alot of famous rap work is his doing even if you dont know it.
Yep he is a producer, but he isn't the best, Dr Dre is the best producer. But Swizz Beatz makes the best beats.Quote:

i prefer technology to stronger.
but eh i think kanye will sell more because no offence but white people dont really like rap (compared to black and some asians) but they do like kanye west. (remember gold digger, jesus walks and diamonds in the sky?)
yeah but 50 means worldwide sales. as in if graduation sells more copies over the WHOLE world he will quit music. & your comment about white people liking rap is so untrue. there are loads of white people who don't just like rap, but 50 cent as well.Quote:

fifty is for the tough guys.. Kanye is for everyone. Kanye will sell most :b .. Anyway, fiftys new ideas with working together with timbaland & justin SUCKS! .. It sounds terrible. Hes supposed to be with The game, ice cube and so on.
KanYes albums got worse since album one. But I think this album will break records.
Fiftys album will be average, but with some hitting singles.
@sway Lol I had a laugh :b .. Diamonds in the sky haha (:
50 will have this one I gotta' say. Kanye's shown stronger singles sales but I think 50 will have it in album sales.
50 retiring though, is gonna' happen anyways, he has future movie plans, so, less sales than Kanye or not, he still gon' switch to movies.
Both albums are being hyped so much atm, like T.I.'s was this year, but that turned out to be pretty average. So I can see fans being abit dissapointed with either albums, due to the major hype surrounding both.
Either way, I don't see either album being spectacular, I'm a fan of both so s'long as they're both making music I don't actually care who comes out on top.
Kayne has practically won anyway, on the pre-ordered charts Kayne is way way ahead of 50.
i think kanye has a much much stronger fanbase. people have lost touch with 50 cent, but i dont think kanye has had a big drop, if any at all. kanye's strong fanbase means more fans will buy the album, but 50's album is so questionable, many are going to be likely to just download.
They both ain't got nothing on Lil Wayne...
Kanye will sell more bcuz females like him...but he alright though...
lolol its called diamonds but the lyrics are like diamonds in the sky so.. yeh.
Yh its "Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe" or something. Its called Diamonds are forever / Diamonds from Sierra Leone (spelling :b)
There was never any contest over this. In the rap fanbase itself 50 Cent probably has a better standing, but KanYe is liked by a lot of people who aren't into rap, as well as many rap fans. I'm not particularly a fan of either, although I respect the talents of Mr West much more (50 is just a front for Dre's production).
