Article Should Kanye West Battle 50 Cent Or Jay-Z?

Should Ye Battle 50, Or Jay-Z?

Ha! Just last Friday, I wrote a blog entitled, “How Long Before 50 Clowns Kanye For ‘Love Lockdown?’”

The post was close to completion, but I got caught up doing other things, so I had to can it. What do you know, a clip featuring 50 mocking Ye surfaced over the weekend. I guess the answer is, less than a week. The clip shows Fif doing some fruity-like movements while lip synchin’ to West’ new single. Later in the clip, Tony Yayo,mocks Ye’s LAX incident by shoving the camera away from his face.

But here’s what’s really interesting. 50’s Before I Self Destruct is scheduled to hit stores December 9th, one week before Ye’s 808’s & Heartbreaks. I’m a longtime Fif supporter. I’m talking about “How To Rob” Fif when he used to tell me about his projects when he came by my old job. I’ve always been rooting for the kid, but at this point I’ve lost interest in his music. That G-Unit album was tough, but Fif still has a lot to prove as a solo artist. Not that I don’t enjoy the comedy, but he should be worried about putting some good material rather than clown Ye. Then again, maybe Fif wants a rematch. Maybe he’s just baiting Kanye.

Still, if I’m Kanye, I push my release date up to the 9th for Round 2. But this time, no Mr. Nice Guy. No kissing up to Fif. No saying, “I Get Money” is your favorite track. No saying I know I’m gonna lose anyway. Just go hard (pause) at dude. I think Fif would be the underdog this time around, so it would be interesting to see how things play out.

I was just talking to my boy Cash over at SOHH and he said Ye should go up against Jay-Z: Big Brother Vs. Little Brother. Cool, but I think the hype would be minimal. What made the 50 and Ye duel so ill last year, is how different the two artists were. Also, whether you rooted for Fif or Kanye, there was always a doubt that the other could emerge victorious. I doubt anybody thinks Jay-Z can outsell Ye in a head-to-head contest. Sure, Hard Knock Life sold 5 million copies, but that was 10 years ago.

What do you guys think? Should Ye not bother? Should he try to go up against Big Brother, or should he go at 50?

either way he will win, only rapper outsellin him is wayne and maybe tip

Purdu · 09-15-2008, 04:55 PM

Why would Roc-A-Fella release two albums on the same day? That's not gonna happen..

em50achilles · 09-15-2008, 05:10 PM

Fif will outsell kanye and wayne..wtf wayne shouldn even be in a category with fif,,massacre sold in two weeks what wayne sellin now of c3...this nigga fif got sum fire saved up he bout to drop

Yuri Orlov · 09-15-2008, 05:22 PM

Yo on connen o'brien show last week,the dude said that fifty's "curtis" sold 3 718 000 albums worldwide versus 3 100 000 for kanye's "graduation",so medias been funny acting like fif' lost when he didn't.but i know the battle was actually for the U.S. so whatever.i can't wait for fif's new album,first single shud drop anytime soon.

G-Dengi · 09-15-2008, 05:27 PM

Id wanna see a pt2 ....i bet Interscope will learn from mistakes and actually do a better job droppin the album..unlike last time...and this time Interscope might buy some BISD disks so that the numbers inflate like Graduation did last time...

OneManArmy · 09-15-2008, 06:25 PM

Why not go against both of them?

-_-

Threyev · 09-15-2008, 06:29 PM

i think jay would outsell both. i dont know a single person that likes any of kanye's new shit, and i haven't heard 50's first single (don't hate). jay-z is jay-z, and he knows how to release that first banger from a cd.

Purdu · 09-15-2008, 06:34 PM

Like I said, why would Roc-A-Fella release their biggest albums of the year on the same day? it makes no sense. More likely to be 50 vs. Kanye again...

Threyev · 09-15-2008, 06:35 PM

^^ oh yeah true that. it would be dope to see, though.

OneManArmy · 09-15-2008, 06:35 PM

Man, Love Lockdown is the shit. I haven't heard a song from this year that i love more.

-_-

Red Bandana · 09-15-2008, 06:39 PM

50 has a new single out?

keepitgangsta · 09-15-2008, 06:47 PM

how about not droppin an album period

Hakaroodi · 09-15-2008, 07:14 PM

yeah either make it a three way thing.. which would be dope... or - 50 Vs. Kanye should happen again - but this time Interscope should give a shit and stop actin' dumb.. we all know the only reason Fif lost (in the US) was because of his lack of support from his label.. still thinkin how the fuck does a music video get leaked? (Follow My Lead w/ Robin Thicke)...

loso2423 · 09-15-2008, 10:26 PM

it should be kanye vs fif

gangstabone23 · 09-16-2008, 01:44 AM

It will be like this

Kangay #1

GaY Z #2, Watch him on HDD be like 200 000 and when soundscan hits, he gonna be at least 50 000 more than 50 cent..Suspicious, ah???

#3 50 cent..

No Way, never ever ever ever in the Hisotry of Mankind, if GAY Z goes against my nigga 50, aint no way GAY Z Will looose, he would rather trade his mother, His Wife and His Relatives for the Slavery than Loose to 50.

GAY Z will buy 600 000 of his own CDs just to prove that world that he can beat 50.

That faggot has som wierd shit going on his head, instead of Making a family and putting future into his name, he is battling and buying his own CD's

DIe GaY Z, u are pathetic/ What are u trying to prove?

50 also he admitted he lost so shut tha fuck wit he sold more records worldwide than kanye

chasity · 09-16-2008, 02:20 AM

If there were to have a round two which I dont think fif really cares about I believe 50 will come out winning 50 works better under pressure like the staright to the bank and amuesment park (which didnt do to well).So he did another one and came out with I get money which was a smash hit but came out too late which thats why i believe the promotion went wrong. Im not the biggest kanye and 50 cent fan but if anyone knows 50 he likes for you to doubt him because thats how he comes with a smash hits. Plus hes got sha money xl, dre and eminem back on the map so you know this album is going to be a classic I believe the title of the album says it for its self like the get rich or die trying.

Nas - Illmatic · 09-16-2008, 04:02 AM

Curtis - Sold just a shade under 3.8 mill
Graduation - Sold just over 3.1 mill

Mr. West will still be the little guy this round.

Phil Ivey · 09-16-2008, 04:21 AM

lol g-unit fans are too funny.. after 50 looses they blame interscope because of what ever reason...then they say Kanye bought his own album. YOU CANT win against g-unit fans.. wait no sorry not fans g-unit faggots, the fans can admit a loss .. sometimes.. but the g-unit fags you cant win against.. no matter what happens and its 100% clear that g-unit took a lost.. they will get the situation and flip it. so you guys keep hating on the game for destroying the unit, hate on kanye for outselling 50 cent, and hate on young buck because hes not part of the unit.
