07/23/07 - Kanye West Says to 50 Cent: 'We Ain't Moving' (Will Release 9.11)

A.T.I. · 07-23-2007, 05:12 PM

'Ye would prefer to 'be #2 on that day rather than come out and be #1 on a day nobody cares about.'

NEW YORK — Regardless of what 50 Cent thinks, Kanye West says he's not blinking: His album will be coming out the same day as the leader of the G-Unit.

"The date, Graduation, September 11, we ain't moving," West said Sunday night at the Beacon Theatre, where he was waiting to perform with Lil Wayne (see "Kanye West, Ja Rule, Juelz Santana Jump Onstage For Lil Wayne's First-Ever NYC Solo Show").

Kanye is embracing the friendly competition with the man he recently produced a track for (see "Kanye West And 50 Cent Set For Epic Battle: Both Releasing Albums On September 11"). The Grammy winner says two heavyweights coming out on the same day is monumental for the game.

"I'd rather come out on a day like that, up against 50 — where people are excited about going to the stores and it's an event and people talk about it — and be #2 on that day rather than come out and be #1 on a day nobody cares about," West said. "It's about things going down in history. It's not that much exciting stuff in hip-hop right now. I think people are going to make it more than what I'm making it myself. At the end of the day, I'm making music and I'm trying to sell."

Fittingly, September 11 is the day Kanye West was born. Jay-Z's instant classic, The Blueprint, was released on that day in 2001. West gained immediate acclaim for his production on the album via songs like "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," "The Takeover" and "Never Change."

"The Blueprint came out six years ago?" Kanye asked his A&R rep and friend Plain Pat. "That's monumental. This album, Graduation, I been listening to it. I like it a lot. I really believe I can take home that Album of the Year award at the Grammys. I've won my awards, but they've always been a category: 'hip-hop,' 'rap.' I wanna win Song of the Year, Album of the Year. I wanna deliver this album."

With singles such as "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Stronger" out now, West is hot, but where does he rank on our list of the Hottest MCs in the Game? Does he even rank on the list at all? You'll be surprised at a few people who were left off and who made it. Stick with MTVNews.com all week as the rankings are revealed. We uncovered #10 on Monday (July 23), and the countdown and debate rage all the way to Sunday, when MTV2 airs "The Hottest MCs in the Game" at 2 p.m. ET, revealing which rapper occupies the #1 spot.

G UNIT RECORDS · 07-23-2007, 06:00 PM

I don't see why everyone cares about who sells more it's not like you'll be profiting from it. But I am excited about that much great music coming out on the same day, and it saves me two trips to the store since i was planning on buys both their albums anyway.

Snoopyblu · 07-23-2007, 06:06 PM

Im glad he aint movin, its good for hip hop music. Whether you do or dont like of the artist is besides the point, im glad somebody will take a challenge from fif. Im a fan of fifs but when he has no competition its like he takes a vaction, or in his words "Vitamin Water it doesnt even matter" to me it does cause i want that Get Rich or Die Tryin Shit and if this is what its gonna take for him to bring it back a challenge i'll support Kanye for goin up against him, im not gonna even hate on him, so with Kanye makin that statement i look forward to the upcoming mixtape from fif, and even the addition or removal of tracks from his album, we gonna see if he's gonna put in work to prove that he is the King.
