>>>UPDATE:: Kanye and 50 Cent make up August 24, 2007 Source: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2004580002-2007390518,00.html

The showdown between rival rappers KANYE WEST and 50 CENT appears to be over after the pair went clubbing together in New York.

Tensions had been running high between the pair after 50 announced that he would quit rapping if Kanye's album Graduation sold more copies than his own upcoming album Curtis next month.

Fiddy told Rolling Stone magazine: "Mine will sell and his will still be on the shelf. He should be terrified. What do I do? Do I send flowers? Do I send my condolences?"

But the feud seems to have ended over vodka shots on Wednesday night at New York's 40/40 Club with JAY-Z, P DIDDY and T.I.

The hip-hop summit meeting had fans going crazy as the five rappers strolled like the Rat Pack through the club.

Hmm, smells suspiciously like a publicity stunt

Well if I have anything to do about it, it will be none other than the self-proclaimed "Louis Vuitton Don" Kanye West! Unless you have been living under a rock or not a fan of hip-hop music than you know that on September 11,2007 two of rap's biggest names will be releasing their much anticipated 3rd albums on the same day. Despite taunts, by 50 cent, Jay Z, Def Jam, and Kanye West have not pushed back Kanye's release date. What could have been a great day for hip-hop music fans, has been overshadowed by fiddy's childish demeanor.

At first I didn't think much of the whole ordeal until as usual 50 cent in my opinion, felt threatened that he would have a challenge on his hands made the statement that he would retire if Kanye outsold him. I laughed at first but when FOX5 yes a MAJOR tv station here in Washington DC did a whole story on the matter I got heated. After I watched it, I knew I had had enough with 50 cent, and said let me help him swallow and choke on his on words - which is why I made this website. I had no intentions on buying either cd until I heard some more tracks, but now I feel it is my duty to go out and by Kayne's cd. I don't know about you but I am so tired of 50 cent and his insecurities calling out every single rapper in the game. To me 50 can't handle not being number 1 and in order to create a buzz he has to constantly create beefs with other artists in order to make himself feel good or relevant. (More on that later.)

Ok back to the purpose of this site, I am begging everyone to go out and buy Kayne's album on September 11th.

It looks like Kanye may out sell 50 if the results from a recent poll from SOHH.com is accurate. The SOHH poll, which included feedback from over 3,000 fans on the internet between the ages of 12 and 35, when asked whose album will have the higher first-week sales, 51% of the respondents said Kanye, 37% said Fifty, while 11% believed it was to close to call. The biggest distinction in the poll spoke volumes about each artist's selling power. When asked which album they're likely to buy, 53% said Kanye's album is on their shopping lists while only 20% say they'll be in line for the new 50 Cent record. Check out the poll results here:

Now it is very important that you buy the cd on the 11th because if you don't and wait another day, I feel 50 will use that as a loophole and say well the first day was the only day I was referring to, I didn't mean the entire 1st week sales. You can pre-order Kanye's cd here:

“I accept the challenge,” 50 Cent said. “Kanye, he’s not going to want to show up. Just don’t be asking me if I am a conscious rapper. I know exactly what I am saying — so I am conscious.”

How To Get Your Music Into Movies

Now I need you to do one more thing, go here:

and sign my petition for 50 cent to retire. The rap game really don't need him! Honestly if it wasn't for the sampled Get Money (hot as hell) and the Ayo Technology (even hotter) track with Justin Timberlake and Timberland, 50 wouldn't even be on the radar. (BTW i like the beats of those songs 50's rapping and lyrics are just average, he spits the same ole same ole unoriginal sh*t.) Those two tracks in my opinion saved his upcoming disc. His other two singles were lackluster at best. Even 50 admitted that he wasn't getting the type of response he wanted with those two songs.

Hey I will give credit when credit is due, and once again let me remind you I am not a 50 cent hater, I'm just not a fan. I am for anyone getting their money and my hats off to him, but I just want him to know that I am tired of his lame I am better than everyone and his I'm King of the World mentality. Hmm, let's not forget what happened to another famous cat who said that. He went down with the Titantic and if 50 keeps it up that is how he is going to end up-sunk!

Now don't get me wrong I was feeling fifty's first album just like 7 million other people and I was able to tolerate him calling out JaRule but come on 50 enough is enough. Is that your whole gimmick? Dissing other rappers? Or is it singing love songs and hooks? 50 demolished JaRule's career talking about how all Ja did was do love songs with RB hooks but everytime I turn around that is all 50 is doing - he is even in a video half naked with the Sexy Ciara!

That's real gangsta, huh? Why is ok when he does but it's not cool when another rapper does it.

Now fast forward to 2007 and I don't even have enough space to name all the rappers who 50 has had beef with over the past few years, now 50 is calling out Lil' Wayne, Jay Z, Jimmy Iovine and Diddy to name a few.. You can watch 50 speak on Weezy here.

To me it appears as if 50 is jealous of Lil Wayne and won't give him his props and once again he has released a dis track surprise, surprise. The track takes shots at the New Orleans rapper and Cash Money Records' co-founder Bryan "Baby" Williams.

On the track titled "Part Time Lover," which DJ Kay Slay debuted on his radio show August 17 50 spits: "You make me wanna kiss you like Baby kiss Wayne / And make you call me daddy like Baby do Wayne / Damn that @#!* sounds gay it's insane / I guess that's the price a lil' @#*$% pay for fame..."

In other 50 news, just the other day 50 claimed he didn't like like Jay-Z and Diddy. "Nah. I don't even like them." When told that his words could be misconstrued without clarification, 50 responded, "I don't give a @#*$."

"It doesn't matter," 50 continued. "They're not the same kind of people [that I am]. In business, I respect what they do, [but] if we liked each other, we'd call each other to talk for no reason." hmm so if he doesn't like them why was up on stage PERFORMING WITH them in NYC at the Scream tour? As you know a picture is worth a thousands words so here you go:

Oh HELL NO! I think I smell a recant coming on from 50 b/c also that night 50 hit the stage with Kayne!!

I also hear that 50 and Kanye just finished shooting the cover of Rolling Stones in anticipation of their upcoming releases.

Now mark my words if Kanye outsells 50 on September 11th, 50 won't retire. They will be on 106 and Park on this day to discuss their albums. I bet 50 will say it was all hype about him retiring and proclaim himself the King of New York and call the whole situation a marketing ploy or something her did to stir up low album sales for hip hop in general, blah blah, blah. I don't care!! Please help me tell 50 cent to put up or shut and sign my petition for 50 cent to retire!!

“I don’t have beef with anyone,” West said “What am I going to debate about? I’m going to go in the studio and make music. When I heard the thing about the debate, I thought that was the stupidest thing.”
