I'll buy 10 of the Kanye West if it would get rid of Fitty Cent. Then how to get shed of Kanye?



50 Cent to Quit if Outsold by Kanye West
AP
Posted: 2007-08-10 17:59:11


NEW YORK (Aug. 10) - 50 Cent believes his new album will outsell Kanye West's upcoming disc, and he's betting his solo career on it. Both 50 Cent and West have albums due out Sept. 11. 50 Cent, who has sold better than West, has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his "Curtis" CD.

"Let's raise the stakes," the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums."

An e-mail sent to West's publicist wasn't immediately returned Friday.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson, has been publicly disparaging of West before. In 2005, he suggested the 29-year-old rapper's popularity was only possible because of 50's own success.

But they recently collaborated in the studio. Their work, though, isn't scheduled to appear on either new album.

50 Cent's last full-length solo album, "The Massacre," was the best-selling disc of 2005 and sold more than 1.14 million copies in its first week of release. The same year, West's "Late Registration" opened by selling more than 860,000 copies in its first week.

You would consider buying music you didn't like, just so other music you didn't like would stop?

:huh:

A better question would be would I invest in the demise of rap and the ilk.

Certainly.

I think it might be more productive if you learn to accept the fact that it'll be around for awhile.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

What are you talking about?

1. Productive? How so?

2. What makes you think I have not accepted that it will be around for a while?

3. Do you honestly believe I would buy 10 West CD's?

4. Learn to recognize sardonic commentary when you see it.

Jeezel.

It's a little hard to recognize sardonic commentary when it's in the same font, font size and color as all the other posts made on the forum, and especially when the commentary isn't interesting. Cool out man, I wasn't even attacking you yet.

Possibly the most ridiculous thread ever posted here, and that is no easy feat.

Publicity stunt. I like rap, but I keep hoping West and 50 Cent will both get run over by a truck full of Beethoven CDs.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".
