So, far this has been my favorite battle between to artists ever. Enjoy. :)
50 Cent said that he’s going to stop putting out records if Kanye West’s new album sells more than his when they are both released on the same day (September 11th).
Forbes just came out with their list of the Hip Hop Cash Kings.
Jay-Z’s on top, taking in $36 million in 2006, but what’s most interesting is that 50 comes in at #2 and Kanye West?….#8.
Fiddy made almost DOUBLE what Kanye made last year.
50 took in $32 million, while West only made $17 mill. ONLY!
Kanye's latest single, Stronger, is currently the #1 song in Great Britain, according to the just released UK charts.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent’s new single featuring Justin Timberlake, Ayo Technology, isn’t even in the Top 20!
“Its not possible for Kanye to beat me, I don’t know why I said that. Its like the teddy bear vs. the gorilla. Def Jam [West’s label] is going to buy about 200,000 of Kanye’s records. Kanye sucks, I’m going to be honest, he sounds like a robot, he has a robot record.”
- 50 Cent
“Steppin’ outside of the game… If I was just a fan of music, I would think that I was the number one artist in the world .”
- Kanye West
Based on pre-orders, West is currently #17 on the iTunes album chart and Fiddy’s all the way down at #64.
TEAM KANYE!!!!
