The Kanye and 50 feud represented a great outlook on our culture and our way of life. It made me feel like I wanted to buy both albums. Actually in every state I was in I bought both albums, actually I bought more of their albums then I bought more of my albums because I was just excited about the hype and at the same time Kanye caught me from the beginning to the end, from “Good Morning” to “Big Brother.” I was very impressed.

I thought the Curtis joint was for the hood, I’m not making judgments. I just thought it was for the hood. He knows how to make a fantastic record; the biggest difference was that Curtis was for the hood. When I first went about it, I thought Kanye was for the white people or the uppity people who not hood and after listening to it twice or three times and I kind figured that Kanye made universal music. Music that can be heard through any religion and I kind of appreciated it. -

Beanie Sigel:

I think that was a good marketing strategy. I think they built that one nicely. Kanye was going to put those numbers up regardless. 50 just had dropped four joints and didn’t get the momentum. [The] Kanye album to me was the better album man, it was real well rounded. I wasn’t f***ing with 50’s as much. Kanye’s [album] you could drive to that sh*t; I don’t know man. I guess I just got a biased opinion. [Kanye] had them beats.-

Method Man:

That s**t was a gimmick man, that s**t was f***ing bogus. They going to have everybody trying that s**t now; that s**t is bogus. [Graduation] was pretty hot, Kanye is cool. 50 cool, no comment though. -

Cormega:

I think Kanye was trying to push new boundaries with that album. He was going for that electric, European sound. I thought it was good. I thought the Kanye West and 50 Cent rivalry was one of the most tastefully done things. It was good competition. It was something that Rap needed. It was no disrespect in it. I didn’t hear the whole Curtis album, from what I heard I liked it. I just want to hear some raw 50 too though. I want to hear 50 make a raw album because he could do it now. He doesn’t have to worry about sales, money or anybody. -

But sadly enough, that's all 50 cares about.

He's right tho... 50 now had 5 multi-platnum selling albums (OST & B4M included)
The pressure is off now [sales wise] he can do whatever he want, experiment a lil', he dont have to care 'bout putin' commercial singles on the album nymore

how is it? 50 cent himself introduced the "if you flop your wack" method . .so if he didnt give a fuck about sales.. then he would publically humiliate himself . .as soon as 50 cent flops more then he did with curtis that gives other people the right to talk shit on him like he talks on them/ .

the boss · 01-07-2008, 01:31 PM

i have never thought just because u dont sale records u flop..and i dont think 50 made that up the fans thoguht of that...anyway its plenty of niggas out with good cds that arent movin any units so its the state of music we re in....but i still dont get why people think 1.2 million is a flop only 6 rap cd's have went platinium the last 2 yrs with grodt soundtrack,carter 2,curtis,ti vs.tip,king,graduation,inspiration so 1 million isnt bad..plus digital cd sales arent even accounted for but should be
