I think 50’s reign is over and Kanye will come out on top. Although i must say 50’s last 3 release singles I have enjoyed and Kanye Ive been a fan of him since my Junior year in high school and know Im a Sophomore in college so he has my back all the way

50 vs Kayne???? Is that a serious battle, Im betting Kayne 10,000,000,000,000 to 1

I reallly like rihanna too and i was also looking forward to a fugees album .

What’s so special about Madonna, besides the fact that she made herself famous without being able to sing, which is nothing new in the current rnb world

50 and Kanye 50 always got something smart say ol silver back gorilla lookin ass and yall know Harry Potter aint over it’s HOAX LMAOOO J/K

Rhianna needs to be herself why does she wanna be a middle aged white woman how old is Madonna 60??

i am a huge harry potter fan too
rihanna is killin
she went big this year
and i kno she will be grabbin them
grammys
billboard
and ama
awards
next year

since when did 50 reign? dont care about harry potter and rihanna should want to be rihanna i dont see anything that great about madonna even tho other people do

iono bout 50 and Kanye…I’m rooting for Kanye so 50 can see he ain’t all that

Rhianna…don’t like her voice, but she got flava

don’t know what’s wrong with lauryn…

…although i can speculate what might be wrong with her…

Yeah I wasn’t one of those fools who queued for hours (I heard 50+) for the new Harry Potter book, I’m gonna get mine tomorrow a lot of shops are doing deals, I check the best one, I mean i’m a fan but damn that queue had to be funky!!

It’s a shame about The Fugees,

I don’t really have an opinion on Rihanna, I don’t really like her voice but I think she’s OK, but she is reminding me of Beyonce right now, in the case of damn she’s everywhere, but I suppose people got to do there thing,

Kayne Vs 50, come on now what i’ve heard of 50 cent new album is garbarge I don’t like Kayne’s single (Stronger) but If I was to bet on one winning it’s Kanye, 50 got a big head and thinks he can release any old crap and sell, and to be honest I can’t stand his ass right now, even though sometimes the same can be said for Kayne (he has been big headed sometimes) but for real Kayne is a better artist and doesn’t have to pretend to be a gangster like fiddy

I don’t think the girl “literally” means she wants to BE Madonna…I think she just would like to have the same “staying power” Madonna had. Madonna’s image was forever changing and she always brought something new.

Rhianna’s obviously stated she’d like to switch up her next album…see the correlation…?

Check out Madonna’s music…you’ll see.

For real @4

LOL@ 5

i will be buying the kanye album!!!! i abhor 50 cent i mean who wants 2 listen to the same stuff over and over, yeah rhianna just needs to be her self she could have named any one besides madonna, lauren hill is on that diva stautus, them 8 yr olds be serious about they harry potter

I think Rihanna is bullshit, she’s just trying to stay current. With each new look, reinventing herself and trying to be different, it’s no different then ANY OTHER artist out there. People got tired of Beyonce because she was overexposed and everywhere, but when it’s Rihanna it’s a whole other story. I don’t see anything special about her, she cannot sing or dance. The other thing thats good about her is her looks so she might as well be an upgraded CASSIE.

I agree with whoever said that 50cent’s reign is over. It really is and i know there’s going to be sad and pretty pathetic comeback on his behalf. I’m just ready to start cringing anyway. What a shame. “In Da Club” is still my jam though ;D

Boo hoo no fugees album? I’m over it. Nothing good lasts forever.

I love Harry Potter! I’m on number 5 right now, so I won’t be coppin’ the latest one for a while.

Rhianna has all of Madonna’s style of reinvention and NONE of her talent. I wish her success though, and her songs aren’t that bad…

im buyin both they singles were great im tired of rihanna

LOL!!! I’mma HP fan!! (Though my ass wouldn’t be standing in line for hours just to be the 1st one to get a copy. I’ll just wait until the next time I stop by Books-A-Million) However, it might be awhile before I go get a copy, seeing as I already have to read books this summer for school, & I don’t wanna read more than I have to.

I really hope Kanye doesn’t move his release date & outsells 50’s gorilla lookin ass!! Kanye’s talented & stands out, while 50’s just a rap stereotype injected with steroids!!

50 is quite confident for someone whose single basically flopped lol…personally I don’t like either of themb /c they both are cocky as hell but I want Kanye to come out on top b/c of those comments 50 just made and b/c Kanye is actually talented and versatile

As far as her style yeah Rihanna changes up her look but to be the black Madonna she has to have her longevity along with the changing up of looks….give her like 5 more years then we’ll see if she’s the Black Madonna

50 is quite confident for someone whose single basically flopped lol…personally I don’t like either of themb /c they both are cocky as hell but I want Kanye to come out on top b/c of those comments 50 just made and b/c Kanye is actually talented and versatile

Now Now fans of 50 why do you all do that you put him on top now your sick of him wuz that all about? First Ja was doing his thing he had everybody saying it’s murder then you kick him out because you all started su#king 50 di$k People start acting like they never own a Ja record. So now who are you going to put on the top?? You threw Brandy out for Ms. B and the way you go off on her it’s sick. Remember when you couldn’t turn on ur TV and not see Brandy, the doll, the show her and old boy from boys 2 men damn fans can go threw somebody hell Im with usher Fu*k the fans

I saw the new Harry Potter movie and I will probably get around to reading the book all 1,000 pages lol
I loved the Fugees but since Lauryn is crazy as hell, this would never work.
I am not a fan of Kanye at all, I kinda like 50 and I love that “amusement Park” song, but my local stations aren’t playing Kanye AT ALL, no one is feeling him like that..
Rihanna the next Madonna? That makes sense.. neither one can sing but somehow manage to sell records,,,

Rihanna PLEASE, you couldn’t touch madonna with a stick. At least Madonna can dance, and she had stage presence. Rihanna can’t dance nor sing and is boring. She better hope she be around in 5 years which I don’t think she will. And also Madonna sells records, Rihanna barely can got platinum.

All you f*cking bloggers are a joke. 50 & Kanye both have a certain lane and their own fan bases. They both will sell with 50 winning the first week sales race. He is hip hop. He makes good music as well as Kanye. All ya’ll mother f*ckers are haters. Everything 50 put out is decent, compared to all that current trash. Ay Bay Bay, Wip Me Down, Make It Rain, etc, all trash! I Get Money is hot! Amusement Park wasn’t a mega hit but it was creative, at least he didn’t come out and just say “Wait Till You See My Dick”, like Ying Yang Twins. 50 keep doing your thing, f*ck all these haters. Kanye keep doing your thing, f*ck all these haters. I’m buying both!

lol@22….i agree about the Ja Rule thing……once 50 started bashing ja,everybody found a reason to suddenly dislike him…..thats those damn “fans” for ya though.fake!

i’d buy a kanye west album over 50 any day….no,let me rephrase that i’d BUY a kanye album even if 50 offers his for free…wtf i wanna hear about how much money 50 got on 10+ songs when kanye actually has substance in his music.yeah right

rihanna-i love the chick….still hangin in there!

50? Whatever, man. I say Kanye. At least he has something to talk about. But too many teenagers, I suppose, wouldn’t get the message. It’s all about the hook to them, something they can bounce too or whatever >.> Whatever on that, lol.

Rihanna has never been a favorite of mine and I don’t think she can sing. Artists that get by simply on looks get on my nerves… Mostly because the media tries to push them down our throats. Wonder how tall she is, because she could do modeling. Then she wouldnt have to open her mouth so much.

Hmm, Harry Potter……………. I’ll just wait for the movie ^_^:;

Lauryn Hill is on something for real. I don’t know what it is, but she need intervention for whatever it is. I’m sure that would’ve been a good album.

Madonna was not the greatest vocalist (just like Janet) but stayed relevant and controversial with songs talking about real things - war, abortion, religion. If Rihanna wants to be around she better put that damn um-ber-ella (ay ay ay) down and get it together. I can see the potential though, so good luck to her. Poor Lauryn, that used to be the girl. I hope she can get her life together!

Harry Potter is good actually, I aint read the 5th 6th book yet, so I got a long way to go before I get to read the new one lolllll

Oopz looks like Pres pissed wiv Lauren, but I get his point…she has her amazing voice and she aint doing anything with it at the mo or for a long time now, probably she thinks shes too good for the Fugees but I mite be wrong, but the album would of been gd its a shame theres no reunion. Stumming ma pain wiv his fingers…classic

Ohhhh give it a rest Rihanna and shut the hell up, like I before she need to be herself and not follow in other artists foot steps, its like she cant think of these ideas for herself….I thought she wanted to be the next Beyonce, but I think she realised that would neva happen in a million years so she wanna be Madonna now??….oh my. Im going off her every single minute…..I loved Ri Ri when she was a girl like me gal, I would dance all the time when SOS & pon de reply used to come on, now she getta too outta hand and not being herself!! So stop tryna be something ur not and stop copying other artists Ri Ri!! smh…

Who cares if they both Kanye and 50 releasing their album on same day which is sooo stupid haha! Doesnt really matter, they are both loaded anyway so its not like they need anymore money lollllll…..actually you know what I dont really care bout Kanye or 50 but it will be jokes if Kanye did sell more than 50 haha I wanna see the look on 50’s face….he will screwwwww

^ Wow I wrote quite alot lol

LMAO@ 22 I love Ja Rule 50 clowned him now everybody hated him im like wtf Ja Rule went hard it’s MURDAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! LMAOOO I have a ja rule record his first album ja rule has always resembled joe camel

Really sad about Lauryn ( She was an inspiration to me growing up) , Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented…just the Bomb! I wonder what happened?

Rhianna is doing the damn thang, I knew something was up the first time I noticed her ,she was posing w/ Jay-Z and Beyonce and surprisingly my attention was drawn to her, when it’s usually to Beyonce, so…She’s far from talented but I guess we’ll see how this turns out!

I hope ‘Ye and 50 do drop on the same date! Cause I will definitely be picking up the Kanye CD. I think 50 needs to retire and just make his money else where, and it’s obvious that he is threatened by Kanye! His tired ass first 2 singles should’ve been an indication of that…i beleive that was his reason for pushing his ablbum back the last time! However, I AM feelin’ his single I get Money! It’s hot as hell, but sounds more like a mixtape freestyle over Cassidy’s “Hustler” beat, than an actual CD single. I guess we’ll see how this one turns out as well. Plus his record label will probably buy about 600,000 to make it look like he sold more.

Harry Potter - who gives a fuck. Idioits standing in the rain/sleet/hail/snow just to cop..SMDH

Thank you # 12. I thought the same thing after reading the first few comments.
I swear, some people are sooooo slowwww.

Personally, I am not a Rhianna fan, but the girl is making moves. Can’t deny that.
As far as her music not having substance, give her a little time, she’s young.
What does she really know about life’s up and downs from a personal standpoint.

I like actually like 50’s Amusement Park, it bangs in the club down here. Kanye is so fucking arrogant I cannot stand his ass. So I won’t be coppin either.

I am waiting on my girls Teedra Moses and Algrebra Blesset - ATL STAND UP!!

Oh, and Lauryn need to step away from the pipe for real. This chick has literally lost her mind.

I THINK 50CENT IS SOOO PLAYED AND HIS SINGLES HAVE BEEN SUPEEERR WACK!!!KANYE I MEAN AT LEAST HE’S TALKING ABOUT SUMTHIN AND IM FEELIN HIS NEW SONG REGARDLESS OF CASSIE BEING IN THA VIDEO,RIHANNA IS GONNA BEE BETTER THAN MADONNA CUZ THA MATERIAL GURL WAS NOTHIN BUT A HOE!!! AND YALL KNO IT AND SHE CANT REALLY SING EITHER,AS FOR THA FUGEES I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WAS MAKING A COMEBACK NE WAY SO…… NUFF SAID!

Angel, I would have never pegged you to be an HP fan. I’m more of a “Charmed” and “Supernatural” kind of guy.

OH AND TO #33 IM DEF WAITING FOR TEEDRA MOSES ALBUM, I SAW HER IN CONCERT, BOMBBBBBBBBB!OH AND LIKEWISE WONT BEE BUYING EITHER ALBUMS!!HOLLAR!!

Rihanna is AMAZING, ya’ll just some haters. Shes doing her thing and theres nobody like her. Rihanna has universal appeal unlike alot of the female singers today - she can be R&B, she can be reggae, she can be pop and she can be rock. Shes everything wrapped into one, thats what i like about her because i like everything too.

Look at some of the other girls today, Ciara always does the same type of songs, Cassie well dont get me started on that untalented bitch and Beyonce, well she’s ok but i’m tired of her being everywhere.

I really dont get why Rihanna is compared to Beyonce, she sounds nothing like her…the only thing i can think of is that their most black and successful.

Wow Teedra Moses coming back? I swear she only did one single?? I liked her I think she was kool..

kanyes album will definitely be better than 50’s but only time will tell who will sell more. both are redundant to me (50 w/his money, guns, hos, and kanye always dissing females who go to college. that $hit annoys me) Lauryn Hill is done careerwise, shes too into the deep end. as for harry potter, i only read the first book and seen three of the movies. i’ll just wait till the hype is over before i put my time into the rest of the books. as for rihanna being madonna. britney tried the same route and look what happened to her. make your own damn route.

The MAJORITY of people so far say that Kanye will win, and since the public makes you and breaks you, I’m 99% sure Kanye will win. Evrybody is tired of G-Unit and says 50’s singles are garbage. Also, I’d rather see KANYE win, because although both are arrogant fools, Kanye NEVER tried to destroy someone else’s career or reputation to build his own. Plus, Kanye isn’t stereotypical like 50 cent, and he can actually talk about more than hoes and guns. So yeah, ‘Ye better win this battle, 50 cent needs to be humbled.

Rihanna is already just like Madonna…..A so so sing who can dance a little
and gets by on her sex appeal.!!!!

Madonna can’t sing to save her life, and did use sex to sell, but artistically, musically, and as far as charisma, she has always been on a TOTAL ‘NOTHER level.

As for 50 and Kanye……I won’t pay money to her a couple of Negroes brag about the money clothes and hoes they got…

I think she’s just not on the same page as them artistically. Can’t the songs they recorded at least LEAK?? Pras is talking about INCREDIBLE RECORDS, I want to hear them.

^^ Talking bout Lauryn..

Like Pras said “Lauryn is in her own zone”….. and it’s the crack zone..!!

#25

I’m sure JabberJaws and The Grape Ape feel good after reading your comment. Only a fool would be blind not to see this is all hype machine and publicity stunt.

we are not soundscan so it is not realistic to compare 50’s fan base to kanye’s

there is some overlap, but let’s be serious the people who buy 50 are people who cannot be as concious as the people who buy Kanye. They are worlds apart in concepts. If you just like beats and music and dance and listen to anything you groove to without paying attention to concept of content you are in the over lap.

One don’t give a fuck about bitches, and is about that money and still likes to express himself using the words “ho” “bitch” and “nigga” etc the other is interested in intelligence puushing the envelpoe and not forgetting where he is from………..

pick a side…the lines are drawn

fcuk curtis! AZZ always gotta be cocky, amusement park, candy shop, all his shit looks and sounds the same, take off yo damn shirt and grin yo ugly azz in the camera.. his boring videos are all the same, him and his entourage in all black running across the camera holding their crotch, AND at least kanye is creative.

Kanye > 50

Hell, even:

Ja Rule > 50

50 Cent’s albums only sell because he always “beefing” with someone right when they’re released. First it was Ja Rule, and then The Game, so I guess now it’s Kanye’s turn. 50 Cent is just no talent gimmick and I can’t wait until he disappears.

Please, Jay isn’t moving Kayne, and if he was thinking about it…50 just shot it to hell. If anything Jay is goona keep him there now. Plus, who wants to support someone who sells records by dissing other people? Ugh…

Get it Rihanna.

I agree with Pras on Lauryn Hill, her attitude is just frustrating, you were on TOP of the world in 98 and she could’ve still been on top but she just refuses to use her talent.

I read the first three Harry Potter books, and that was because in high school we had to pick books with a certain amount of pages for my English class. I did enjoy them though.

Lauryn, GET IT TOGETHER.

Like I said on the post about Kanye album cover. I’m a big fan of Kanye so I’m definately picking up the cd. And 50 Cent is constantly feeding the same bullshit and people still eating it up. I copped the first cd because he showed that he was different and actually had rapping skills. But now its the same bull as all the dirty south rapppers yall love to hate.

Rihanna you can inspire to be whoever you want. Just stay grounded because you can fall as faster than you can blink. Just ask Lauryn?

Kanye west all the way……sry 50 stop buying ur shyt since get rich die trying cd…after that u got corny…with that wack ass group called g -uint

she’s cute and that’s about it. we need more artists who can SANG!

I’m so close to finishing the Potter book. It’s a tear jerker So many people die :((

Skipping on to Rihanna because I could care less about the other two (:p)… Ummm. Yeah. I think people who can actually sing have a better chance at being deemed “The Black Madonna”…and why does she want to be deemed the black anything? She should want to be herself which only makes me think this whole rocker thing is just fake.

Rihanna, sit down somewhere..please. Be yourself for ONCE.

I dnt read/watch that Harry Potter junk so next…

I can see why Pras is frustrated, damn…

Heard about the ”50 vs Kanye showdown,” Cant tell me nothin is my jam, I HOPE Kanye outsells 50 but you never know!

f*** harry potter!to hell with hte fugees then.I’m gone get kanye’s c.d.i bet you that’s all Rhianna eats.oh, she wish she could be the blacm madonna.i’m dat’, haven;t ya heard?:P

im gonna grab the real kanye west album and if 50 cent is lucky i might just buy him bootleg

No comment on Harry Potter cause I don’t give a rat’s ass but that.

I think Lauryn Hill is depressed and maybe she just don’t care about her
singing career anymore.

The only latest song 50 song which is a club banger that I like is
To The Bank. Kanye alright at least don’t have to watch his back all
the damn time.

Rihanna you want to be a black madonna huh?
In T.I. quote : “Don’t be like me, be better than me.”

Not surprise with 50 he does something ever time his album is about to drop to get a buzz. To bad for the fugees album hope Lauryn gets the help she needs

kanye gonna win

i wish L-boogie would get it together *tear*

are u guys fucking serious kanye outselling curtis?i don’t like 50, but he is basically the rap industry in terms of sales, as far as kanye he’s a great artist , but i can’t really support faggots, rihanna is the future beyonce, i’m proud of haitian a west indian shine.

B5’s album will also be released on September 11th, but the question is. When is Mr. Tremaine Neverson’s album dropping. I’ve been waiting on Trey day for a while now.

ugh.. i HATE harry potter… i mean iCK what’s so exciting about it?
fugees say ms. lauren is in her own mind.. lol i don’t care i still love her & i’m still bumpin “ex factor” & “everything is everything”
50 & kanye.. boo
i hate fiddy anyways.. kanye, he’s cool in my book
did ya’ll hear.. jim jones said he’d work with ANYBODY except for jay-z… wtf
i know its kinda off subject but i saw “jay-z” and said why not bring it up
i’m not getting either one.. NEXT
rihanna, i cant lie i hated her but when he did “unfaithful” something came over me.. i like her new style.. wish i could get up enough courage to cut off all of the locks & die it black lol..

ANYWAYS
i’m rambling…. so bye =]

I Am I Big Rihanna Fan If But Rihanna Needs To Be Herself.
Madonna Was Creative & Different At What She Did Just Like Janet Jackson.

If She Wants To Be Big Like Those Two Then She Has To Do Something That Other People Wouldn’t Think Of.

And I Have Trust In Her

oh yeah, CAN’T TELL ME NOTHiNG IS MY JAM!!!!!

50 and Kanye…they are so different and probably have different fanbases, would it even matter?
If i had to chose one though…i’d go with 50. Dispite his singles not doing well and horrid BET show performance, atleast I heard him in the past months or so. I have yet to see a video or hear a radio hit from Kanye. Maybe the radios play them, but i am yet to hear anything about him thus far(hell…besides some random comments on his dumb ass glasses on CL, i dont even recall hearing his name mentioned to me at all this year). Unless Kanye pulls out another hit(with similar fame to Golddigger or of the sort), I see Kanye losing the sales wars.

As for 50s comment…hes cocky as hell, but i wouldnt be surprised if it happened. The last thing you need, during the time of lowest record sales due to digital downloads and pirated leaks, is a competition. 1st week sales is everything…

What the hell is up with Lauryn? For real she’s wasting that God given talent like pras said. And can this be the last rhianna post for a while please? It’s too much.

Lauryn Whitney told ya Crack was Wack I hope she beats the odds

im reading harry potter…i’ll comment later!

lol

It’s not LaurEn it’s LaurYn with a “Y”…..Why do people misspell her name all the time?!

Okay, who the ufck is buying 50’s album anyway? He’s garbage!! That’s what you call a cult following because there is no substance in anything he says and all his songs sound the exact same. What he fails to realize is that 9 bullets to the flesh don’t make him Tupac…there has always and forever will be ONE Tupac.
I hope Kanye dusts him off like Pledge!!!

SEE EVEN PRAS SAYS LAURYN IS LOONEY TOONS…

If 50 beats Kanye then somebody just shoot me, please

B5 album come out that day too, haha but they dont really count in this at all

Pras prolly needs the reunion more than they do.What has he done?It’s not as if he can give any records away.

50 cent is so out, plus I heared the album was shit! Definitly the more artistic kanye.

and rihanna really doin her thang, i love her doing her thing. and yeah i was thinking the same about changing styles all the time, im sure she can and will pull it off

I ‘m tired of Rhianna, she’s a cutie and all but too much exposure , hopefuly she doesnt take a stab act acting b/c homegirl can barely talk , the covergirl commerical is awful. P.S - Why is she getting so much love over an asymetric bob w/ bangs?

I dont like 50 or Kanye but I think 50’s is going to actually be better. I’m feeling Kanye’s “Stronger ” but Kanye always has about 2-3 stellar joints on his album but that’s it. His hottest stuff is when he’s a feature on somebody elses stuff. Kanye giving a party in Chicago next month on the 24th at the House of Blues, his ass wants $125 for regualr and $500 for VIP!! I think that it’s crazy to continue to “support” these artist who rap about how they got this and that and how folks be hatting on them, etc… We the fans are giving them the means to buy these huge diamond chains and luxury cars just so we can turn around and envy / admire them ? I think 50 may bet him in sales b/c of his fan base ? He’s smart he’s creating a buzz about himself to get folks back into him. Who care I’m not buying neither one of the albums , I’m getting my music the old fashion way through Morpheus.

okay……#12 is right….rihanna means she wants the same stayin power as madonna.madonna changes her image every album….by the way, she hasnt always sold mad albums! if u listen to rihanna’s CD then U’ll know what she means.by the way, she can sing and dance check her resume.
AND on to 50…he was in no way dissing or tryna put down kanye…listen to the interview for urself and put it in context he actually sounds very wise and business like….the man knows what he’s talkin bout…and he was right when he said lil wayne ws a “whore”

50’s beaver ass cant top kanye never so what…i think rihanna should be rihanna becuz there will never be another madonna…

i agree with #12
and #75…there will always b only 1 Tupac.i put my bet on Kanye..but i will still see 50 live, cause i got sum tickets as a gift n i wish it isnt gonna b a total waste.. Rofl.
lol at #47..i guess its true, n its sad………
HP…iight, think i would read it.

RIHANNA CAN STAY AS LONG AS SHE LIKES. JUST KEEP BEYONCE ASS OUT OF THE LIGHT FOR A MINUTE. AS MUCH AS I LIKE BEYONCE’S MUSIC IM TIRED OF TURNIN AROUND AND SEEING BEYONCE’S ASS ON IT. BUT RIHANNA SHE IZ REALLY GETTIN IN I MEAN THERE IZ REALLY TWO BIG REGGAE ARTIST OUT AND THAT IZ HER AND SEAN PAUL.

MAN I LIKE AMUSEMENT PARK BUT I LOVE KANYE WEST EXCUSE ME DID U SAY SOMETHIN UN HUH U CANT TELL ME NOTHIN LOL HAHAHA. WAIT TO TIL I GET MY MONEY RIGHT

50 cent sucks, BUT i still think he will sell more then kanye regardless, because of fanbase, but i think the real hip hop fans will look forward to kanyes work more then 50 thats for sure..

Okay RIhanna tried being Beyonce , FeFe Dobson now she wants to be Madonna. What an insult to a legend. Sit down lost little girl.

I’m mad about Lauryn and her issues - she really needs help.

50 vs Kanye? I aint gonna buy any of those two. By then i will be all broke of buying 50000 copies of Common’s “Finding Forever”, the best album of the year (and yeah, i heard it already) right now and it will probably stay that way.

I’m still confused. When has Rihanna ever tried to be Beyonce? Why the hell would she even want to?

There is a Kanye album on itunes with my name already on it!

Unless 50 spends every moment from now until think Sept. 11th in the studio, Sept. 11th is going to be a real special day for 50.

Rihanna is no were near Madonna status!!!

…and I def will be purchasing the new Common album.

@ 93: You should, its too incredible! It might even be better than Be in my eyes.

@Detroit_Girl2007 b/c black ppl wanna act like they’ve never seen a bob before. lmao anyone who knows what’s going on in white hollywood knows victoria beckham sported it WAY before riri and that there are ppl who sported it before beckham.

anyway, god luck on trying to be the next madonna b/c she will need it. she’s nowhere near that yet and i highly doubt she’ll get there. how many non-singers besides madonna and janet have had staying power? off the top of my mind, i can’t think of any and i don’t believe riri will join the ranks. she doesn’t know how to SINCERELY change her image while keeping the core of who she is like madonna does. she does drastically changes it and it looks fake

i hope kanye outsells stupid 50. can’t stand him anymore. all that ghetto nonsense and ignorance is so unattractive. instead of rapping about amusement parks, he should try to get kids who actually listen to him to go to school and learn to excel

..rihanna is not a reggae singer for whoever said that. If anything she is pop. Funny how voice is so proper and articulate when she has to speak, but he sound like an immigrant who just came over on a innertube when she sings..

Love harry potter. So glad you posted this angel. Cuz I know to many black people who was excited to get the book. I just finished it last night. It was a real good book. Glad how she ended it.

i luv rihanna now i used to clown on her all the time but shes good in my book now…and as for kanye vs. 50 kanye he dont have to worry 50 is not goin to sell AT ALL!

i understand whats happenenig here, a bunch of broke black people hating on two very successfull and creative black people, kanye and fifty five years ago werent known, now they the two biggest names in hiphop, and ya’ll… broke and ignorant peeps who think their opinion counts, THEY BOTH GONNA SELL BIG and will always be richer than any of you, just respect that and shut up… or make a single, five years from now we’ll probably be debating your sells but wait, ur only good at posting comments on concreteloop, if only u were getting paid to hate

is what i’m sayin @ #6. rihanna has the potential to be even greater.
i don’t think her music or style is anything like madonna.
creative is the only similarity and i dig her style.

i haven’t bought any music since 02′, since i bin gettin it free.
but i’m definetly coppin kanye’s album.

50 Cent = P.Diddy.

g-g-g-gunit.

Rihanna shouldn’t insult herself because even though she isn’t the best singer she can sing better than non-singing ass Madonna…..I’m sure she wants the Madonna status though.

Don’t hate on 50……Kanye should’ve been STFU.

And the reason behind the Fugees rejoining is probably because of Pras’s dumb sounding a–…..he making it sound like Lauryn still the one on some other sh-t.

I think Kanye will win this one fiddy!

I love, love, love Rihanna but how come she wants to be the BLACK Madonna? how come she can’t just be the NEXT Madonna?

#6 I felt like that was a racest comment you just made there!! madonna is a music legend! but rhanna can’t sing at all but her music is catchie.

LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ 101!!!

Yo, what the fuck is that long stringy shit on your head??? Are u serious?
You actually leave the house like that? Damn ma, you need a makeover stat.

Do me a favor, take that shit out immediately, get you some Dr. Miracle Temp and Nape Balm , Doo Grow and massage that shit in every 5 minutes cause, boo, I can see your scalp. Or you could buy a nice wig….fuck it, just shave it and start over.

Next time, let Meka down the street do your *braids* (?)

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS ON YOUR OWN.

50 CENT’S ALBUM IS GOING TO FLOP, MARK MY WORDS! PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF HIS OLD ARROGANT ASS. THAT’S WHY HE IS ALREADY ON HIS THIRD SINGLE AND HIS ALBUM HASN’T EVEN DROPPED! KANYE ALBUM IS FIRE! Ja RULE COMING BACK TOO! 50 STOLE JA STYLE…50 IS A RICH BITCH!!!!

I like Amusment Park though lol. I like Rihanna I’m just T I RED of seeing her everywhere it’s always her or Beyonce that I always see their are other artist out like Keyshia Cole.

Barack9891
That was unnecessary. Anyway

I’m not a fan of 50 or Kanye so I won’t be getting either album.
I don’t get the hype behind Harry Potter, but at least people are reading.

Harry Potter…zzzzzzzzzz….
Rihanna…not that great. And I don’t care for females that try so hard to change their style. We get it, she’s a bad girl, oooooook…next!
Lauryn Hill, wow, beyond words.
And 50 Cent and Kanye…dont’ wanna waste words on those 2 cocky dumbasses.

sometimes rihanna shouldnt say things but that’s who she is now. some comments she says are out of place. i just have no reason to hate her. she is young and she makes mistakes.but i see her on league not madonna’s. i thought she was trying to escape from being compared to all these other artists.

okay this post has nothing to do with ciara or beyonce so yall need to leave my mawfuckin girls names outta this.

50 already presold 7 million. kanye has 2 choices: move up or move back

I don’t read the Harry Potter books but my eyes be glued to da movies. Harry Potter moives be the ish!!!

Ummm…? I reall ain’t got ish to say bout the Kanye n 50 battle. Well i prefer Kanye cause his shit has more of a meaning to them n i like dat. So ill let the best rapper win…(kanye)…

I like Rihanna n always did. I like that she’s all up to be totally different n bring sumthin new to this music industry we have now! Iam all up to what she wants/has to offer!!

The creator of Harry Potter is paid.

I guess Kanye will be pushing his album back. I if anyone know how 50cents get down, thry should know he’s no joke, and that isshh sounds like a threat. However, if they both come out the same day…we know Kanye got this one in the bag.

Rhianna is really doing it up. She has a smart marketing team…”The Black Madonna”,smart statement.

I’m definitly looking forward to that Kanye CD. I think 50 might outsell him, only because he has enough money to go out and buy 1million copies himself and I wouldn’t put it past him to do so. It really doesn’t matter who sells more, Kanye is much doper…talent and creativity always prevail.

If lauren doesn’t want to work, than she doesn’t want to work. As long as she’s making herself happy where’s the crime in that? what we need to do is get some of these no-talent stars to take their own early retirement!

Rihanna needs to focus on being the next Rihanna.

praz has no talent and is upset that he can’t use lauryn and wyclef to help him pay his rent.

what has he been doing anyway? he always runs to magazines and tells the business of the group. i remember when he told magazines that lauryn didn’t know who’s father zion was.

Harry Potter will outsell 50 AND Kanye! Even though it is a book, and will have been out for a month and a half by then….bet money!

I am a Kanye fan 50 is ok just a tad overrated. No comment on RiRi.

Rhianna wants to be like Madonna bcuz is bi sexual and fabulous. I think that ms ella ella ella has been having more than men under her umbrella.

Harry Potter?? Sorry but I may see the movie.

I LOVE LAURYN HILL && i was def. looking forward to this. She needs to get off of whatever she is on b/c she has always been an inspiration to me. But if not making music makes her happy, do you.

Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna… smh. I cant lie, some of her songs I love but I cant stand how she is always changing. It make her seem liek a young girl who cant find herself.

Kanye vs. 50? is that even an arguement? look at the question at hand. you have 50 who is all bout the gimmick && nothin more. he has no substance. his songs arent that hot [but i get money is iight lol]. kanye HAS to win this. if not, i dont know what to make of the music world. wait till i get my money right, kanye’s cd will be in my hands the day it comes out =]

@71, THANK YOU! It’s too much Rihanna! She’s cute but noone CARES!! Madonna is performer all in all, something Rihanna will never be! I don’t hate Rhi, I really don’t, but CL is over-doing it all with the girl. Y’all act like there’s only 14-years-olds fans on this site.

Kanye and 50, I KNOW 50 will take the top spot on the charts! I just know it. 50 needs to stop talking tho, and Ciara needs to LEAVE HIM! What is wrong with that my homegirl?! If I had her looks and talent, I wouldn’t even look at 50, especially in the FACE! he is uber fugly!

As for the Fugees……too bad:(

BTW, I love Harry Potter! Harry is adorable. Even though it’s kinda obvious that Ron and Hermoine(my bad if I butchered her name) are the ones feeling each other, I still have a feeling that Harry and Hermoine will hook up(they are too cute together!). LOL, I’m a huge HP fan as well, but I decided to wait until this one hit the shelves- my obsession was becoming a little overbearing. I had to go cold-turkey on myslef! lol!

Kanye is going to shut 50’s ass up. Ri Ri is just so overrated. I agree with these singers who get by on their looks instead of talent. It’s a damn shame. Sistas like Fantasia , Keyshia Cole, Lil Mo, and whoever else has to sit back to untalented people like this. Except Fantasia is starting to get hers now with her sexy self.

everyone say their tired of rhianna but everyone been saying the same thing bout beyonce for years and she still on top so rather people get tired or not they stay interested obviously and still support

The black Madonna??? Let’s be real. MOST of Madonna’s album were hugely sucessful. And she brought something new to music. What have ri ri done besides look good? And copy off Kelis( any tru kelis fan knows. Kelis was doing this way back in 99 and 2000)

#8
50 started his reign when he sold 12 million his first time out and 8 million his second time out. Who has done that since 2003 in hip hop?…That’s what I thought. Kanye annoys me. If he crashes someone else’s awards show to whine about how much he spent on a video, somebody should jack his tail up. 50 has a right to be arrogant. Kanye doesn’t. 50 could sell 2 times less than his last album and it will still be 2 times more than anyone else in rap can sell.

P.S. - Vitamin Water people. Vitamin Water.

*spits out soda* LMFAO what was THAT supposed to be oh *claps* bravo babes bravo. Barack yeah just like your quote was that serious………me thinks someone is in their feelings………took a lot of nitwitted emotion to write that “deep” lil’ paragraph aye? Lol…..have a nice day. *Baraaaaccccckkkkk* (Camron tone).

OH aaaaaannnnnnd *snaps fingers* next time you call yourself “sonning” someone for w/e irrelevant reason you might not want to try it on your own. *yawns*

I have always like kanye, but i respect 50 cent and i want him to win because i enjoy the attention he made for himself and music. many people think that he has lost his place in hip hop, but all the people who are talking on this site don’t even buy a CD! but i will to see 50 cent win this one. I like them both because they don’t care what people think or say about them. People are not the same in life, SO WHY DO U THINK THEY HAVE TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE HIP HOP GAME!

Harry Potter…. I’m older than 12, so I could care less about it. J.K. Rowling however is making a killing off that wizzadry shyt.

Kanye and 50…. both be on that metrosexual tip. I’m a true hip hop fan, which goes to say I don’t listen to either one.

The Fugees…. first the Fat Boys gone and break up and now this. For real Lauryn, gone and get it together. Puhleeze!

Rhianna….. now who is she again?

Quick question, would Kanye be this famous if he was never in that car accident? And would Fiddy be this famous if he didn’t get shot?…………………. I didn’t think so.

Young folks today have little to listen to; Rihanna has some good songs, but it’s a bit premature to call her the next anything. I bought “Get Rich Or Die Tryin’” off the strength of “In The Club” and “P.I.M.P.”, but, when somebody stole it from me, I didn’t run out and replace it. I’ve replaced at least THREE Parliament-Funkadelic albums, and when my Earth, Wind and Fire CD’s start skippin’, I’ll replace them too. Music today is so disposable, and it’ll remain that way until you (the young kids that buy music) start demanding better quality…PEACE.

Rihanna looks great. I am loving her right now.

Dag on shame that the Fugees are not coming out with a re-union album. I bet it is
Laryns fault.

Kanye keep putting out hits.

@ Tameka

No disrespect to you, but Beyonce’ has something that Ri Ri doesn’t and that’s talent. I’m not a Beyonce’ fan but she is not just a pretty face. The girl can sing and dance. Ri Ri can just be pretty. Sad to say but she is Jay Z’s puppet in my opinion.

Harry Potter : Eh, not my thing. My husband digs it though.

Rhianna : She’s alright. She’s not the best vocalist around, but her songs grew on me a little bit.

50 and Kanye: Am I the only person who doesn’t like either of them?

Harry’s my boo. I pre-ordered that shit on Amazon. I don’t play with my Harry Potter.

I BET KANYE ALLL DAY!!!!!

Rihanna can be the black Madonna because Madonna can’t sing either..

I love Harry Potter. I just read that the books made about 3 times the money this weekend then the opening weekend for the movie! People are serious Potter fans. I’m waiting for mine to be delivered.

Eh to the rest. Rihanna, I’ll never understand how she’s managed to maintain a career. People want to hype that ridiculous Umbrella song but it’s really no better than an elementary school child trying their hand at poetry. Each line rhymes. If she wrote the song, she’s going to need to step her writing game up. If someone else wrote that song, and she’s just singing it, she needs to fire that person immediately.

50 is majorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. A bunch of haters in here.

damnit, Lauryn. get it togetha! i really want a new album

NO OFFENSE, BUT HARRY POTTER IS FOR LOSERS. ALSO, IT’S “MINE” NOT “MINES”. MINES IS A PLACE.

To be honest before this album came out I wasn’t the biggest Rihanna fan. I mean alot of my friends were and some people arould my way was feelin her but I didn’t care too much for her. Then for some odd reason when this album came out she started to grow on me. I hated Umbrella. I thought it was a very stupid subject. However, they played that thing on the radio so many times it became one of those songs that you couldn’t get out of your head. Then I picked up the album and now I know every damn song on that album.lol. So, how about that. If you would have asked me a year ago if I liked Rihanna I would have given you 10.000 reasons on why I didn’t like her. She’s not the best singer but something about her this time arould has really changed. Maybe it’s the songs, maybe it’s the look or maybe it’s the way she carries herself. Whatever it is…I know now that I am a huge fan of this album and Rihanna.

As far as the Fugee album goes. I knew that wasn’t going to happen because Wyclef said that nothing was going to be certain until Laruyn was finshed with her album and that girl has release what? One new song in the past 5 or so years. So, I knew that wasn’t happen. Maybe it will later down the road but as of right now…I can’t seeing it happening now.

I LOVE Ree-ree! I really don’t understand why it’s been said that she can’t sing too good. She can sing just as good if not better than most other female R&B/Pop chicks out there. Her album is tight. I think Bey already has the black Madonna thing hemmed up, but whatever. Rihanna can just be Rihanna.

4 GODS SAKE WHEN IS LAUYREN GOING TO PULL IT TOGETHER THIS IS GOING INTO YRS. OF CRAZINESS
.http://youtube.com/watch?v=3GVTGNcGNeY

Damn and thats coming from someone who knows here better than any of us !

Ok. Let’s be real. If you listen to Rihanna’s album, she clearly has a European target market, and by European, I mean WHITE. This girl is from Barbados, yet I am not hearing that come through the music. She will never be the Black Madonna. Period! Madonna is a true artist. Rihanna is a puppet. Face it, Shawn Carter is nobody’s fool. Additionally, we all know which “race” by enlarge purchases albums. A true artist does not need to go from a Caribbean girl in their first album, to a rocker chick in their third. Please, listen to this girl in her interviews, she is merely reciting what the puppet master, aka Shawn, has told her to say. Bout she has so much creative control. Please! Maybe she chose from a list which was created by someone else. I am also from the Caribbean, and I pretty much have the same features as this chick, so this is not hate. I am proud to see anyone “Black” make something of themselves. However, when it comes to artistry I do not see skin colour. I am not a fan of hers, even when i belt out her infectious songs.

On another note, I will definately be purchasing “Graduation”. He is the first artist that I have ever rushed to the store, on their released date to purchase an album. If it is a good thing to fling out cds every year like Robyn Rihanna Fenty then I wish Kanye would do the same.

Question, why is this chick putting out so many albums? I wish someone would ask her that.

ha ha ha

Do your ting yah gyal, do your ting and get your 40 acres.- Be Blessed!

LMBAO @ #5…no you didn’t call him a silver back gorilla lookin ass…you ain’t never lied.

Cosign #38. I don’t know why these folks are trippin on Rihanna. If you actually LISTEN to her album, it is a refreshing blend of R&B, Reggae (produced by Timbaland) & Pop/Rock. It really is a damn good CD.

I WOULD NEVA LET MY DAUGHTER WATCH OR READ THAT HARRY POTTER MESS. ITS WITCHCRAFT AND DEMONIC TO ME. THAT WOMAN WHO OWNS HARRY POTTER IS RICHER THAN THE QUEEN! SMH…… I LOVE 50 AND KANYE IS FEELING HIMSELF HARD RIGHT NOW SO I AM GETTING THESE 2 CD’S!……I FEEL RHIANNA, MY DADDY, WHO’S B DAY HAPPENS TO BE SEPT 11, LOL, LOVEDDDDD MADONNA AND I REMEMBER GROWING UP LISTENING TO HER MUSIC. HER STYLE IS CRAZY…..

when that song with 50 justin and tim hits. is gonna be a wrap for Ye. That song is gonna smash radio and TV

Why come if I don’t like what you like, I’m a hater? Am I not entitled to my own opinion? Has 50Cent done anything for the Black community at large, to be considered a hero? Has Kanye? When are y’all gonna start worrying about the right thing? PEACE.

Get-Me-Bodied: you advertise for full body shots, but Harry Potter is demonic? Hookay…PEACE.

First and fore-most Kanye is an artist - to compare him to 50 is ridiculous. Now look all Of you are truly bein haters when it comes to rihanna. I wasn’t really a fan of hers before until the change. She really through her albums progressed each time. She is doin her thing . She may not be a great singer/ or the best dancer, but she is on her grind doin her thing. And as a black - black female artist who does want to do something other than contemporary rnb and always have a song with a pointless rap hook . A black female artist who wants to step into the realm of pop- rock- jazz- and retro. we all should support her. And yall cant deny that the girl looks hot. Maybe thats what we need right now is an artist who can step out of the box of blonde weave and dry fucking the stage to get our attention and actually perform. I.E. Ciara- she had on knee pads on stage at the Bet awards 2007. and still could sing a lick. Over it. beyonce yeah shes good the best for a long time. But now its time for something new.

*flies around the room on my broom and turqoise cape*

Its a shame lauren has just LOST her damn mind. Im really dissappointed that she couldnt hold it together to put an album together. She needs an INTER-FUCKING-VENTION.

BOO 50 You were a better emcee when you were underground. I guess he was hungry then. At least kanye is always on some creative shit, in which I totally respect. He thinks outside of the box so I think his album will do better

Rihanna I hope she does become as big as madonna, why not. Good luck missy.

I have to go with Kanye West on this one….Cuz that song “you can’t tell me nothing” is better then all the singles I’ve heard from 50 cents so far and 50 is just lame…but I hope they both don’t change the dates cuz I want to see Kanye smash on 50…

To #4
What so special about Madonna? Hmmm I’m not a fan of Madonna but what makes her special is she always made controversal music (remember the black Jesus) and she’s forever changing her style up and bringing new stuff to the table. She’s also the best selling female singer of all time. She’s in the guiness book of world’s record for this…So that’s what makes Madonna so special…Nothing wrong with Rihanna wanting to have that amount of success in her career and for wanting to forever be evolving instead of making the same old tired music….

#152, I MODEL SO THE FUCK WHAT, DON’T FUCKEN WORRY ABOUT WHAT I FEEL IS DEMONIC, AND THEN TRY AND DEPICT WHAT I DO… NO ONE TOLD YA HAPPY AZZ TO CLICK MY NAME BYTCH

anybody wants to know what happen to Harry…huh? huh?…ok would give you all til the end of the week….anybody who like the movies…the books are far better…and for those who don’t…who cares….
The girl (Rihanna) has big dreams…nothing wrong with that….

When you post it online, you open yo’self up to anybody else’s thoughts. I clicked your name becuse you are pretty. Iposted my thoughts because they are my thoughts. They ain’t gonna make Harry Potter any less demonic to you, or your pictures any less sexy to me; I await them with slobbering anticipation…PEACE.

50 cent isn’t running shit, he’s gonna be real disappointed when kanye kills his LP. Kanye don’t change nothing, fifty is a sell out, and he’s scared. sept.11 Crush him kanye! sept.11 sept.11

OKAY THANK U #158, SORRY I HAD TO GET A LIL GHETTO, I THOUGHT U WERE TRYING TO BE A SMART AZZ, LOL…….

get_me_bodied: as a matter of fact, this ain’t the first time I’ve heard that folks consider Harry Potter to be an endorsement of witchcraft; I grew up in a Holiness church. My mom strictly forbade my nieces from watching any of the HP movies. However, she paid for a Jim Jones album. Now you tell me, what’s more demonic: a kid flying around on a broom in a movie, or a guy glorifying selling pioison to his sisters and brothers? PEACE.

50 vs. Kanye?? SHIT…Lemme know what happens cause I AINT BUYIN EITHER ONE

1st of all, i’m a huge Harry Potter fan & will definitely be on that shit, infact i’m wearing a HP shirt right now. 2nd, i will not buy either 50s or Kanye’s albums, they both suck. 3rd, i do think that Rihanna could be the next Madonna. Good luck to her.

FIRST OF ALL, HARY POTTER IS THE BEST THING HAPPENING THAT MOVIE WAS HELLA TIGHT AND PPL NEED TO STOP FRONTIN ON IT. 2ND, THE FUGEES NEED TO GIVE IT UP. 3RD WHO WOULD BUY EITHER KANYE’S OR 50 CENT’S ALBUM, U MITE AS WEL SAY “CURTIS” IS PART 3 TO GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN, AND “GRADUATION” IS ANOTHER DEPRESIN ALBUM 4RM KANYE, I DON’T WANA HEAR HIM CRY THRU 15-16 TRACKS. LASTLY, IS RIHANA EVEN BLACK? AND SHE CAN NEVER BE LIKE MADONA, SHE THE TRUTH!

I just now finished reading the last Potter, and i didn’t queue either that was all unnecessary, all people had to do was have it amazoned to their house. Good book!! definitely looking forward to the films.

Rihanna is good now her album sold 5 mil you go girl!!!

#6 that was funny your right, as for 50 g-unit is over its a wrap for them

Wonderful and informative web site.I used information from that site its great.
