As rumored, Kanye West and 50 Cent are covering the next issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. You all know the album showdown is about to end next week on September 11th when Graduation & Curtis drop. Both rappers insist the competition between them is healthy for hip-hop. Kanye said: “Hip-hop is the only sport of music. And these are like championship moments.” 50 added: “We’ve gotta compete.”
Rolling Stone provides excerpts from both interviews on their site.

Besides….neither one is getting a penny from me, I do not support filt/trash/ or them living the Luxurious lifestyle……..not from my pennies…nope
This whole publicity stunt is boring now.
50 CENT LOOKS REAL COMFORTABLE TAKING THESE TYPE OF PHOTO’S “TURN PROFILE” LOL
50 CENT IS AN UGLY PIECE OF MONKEY SHIT THAT GOT PICKED UP OFF THE FREEWAY AND INCINERATED TILL IT WENT ASHY. BUT THE SHIT SMELL WAS STILL THERE, SO THEY DECIDED TO PUT IT IN THE HOOD, AND IT “CAME TO LIFE” AS A PIECE OF GHETTO TRASH, WHO CONNED MILLIONS OF MUSIC BUYERS TO PURCHASE HIS WACK ALBUMS.
50, KISS MY BLACK ASS, AND GET SOME FUCKIN TALENT.
SMH, KANYE LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT. HIS FACE LOOKS ALL PUFFY. WORST BIT ABOUT IT, THEY PROBABLY AIRBRUSHED IT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THAT.
HE LOOKS CUTE IN MOTION.
LOL @ #3!
THERE WILL NEVER BE, I REPEAT NEVER BE “ONLY ONE KING OF HIP-HOP” ALL THE LYRICIST AND RAPPERS ARE KINGS! WE ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE!-NU
OK how about you Don’t make black synonomous with a Monkey. shit… thats not cool,you dont have to like him… but raise above callin your own a Monkey!!!! damn!
neway, i think both are gonne be good but I’m -YE all way!! besides everyone is gonna end up burning both albums a week before they release anyway, just like they did Jay’s Kingdom come
50 CENT’S NOSE LOOKS LIKE HE’S BEEN RUNNING INTO WALLS.
50 cent will sell more cuz there is more buzz and success so far from what he’s recently released. I actually think this album will sell more than his sophmore album.
I KNOW I BEEN ON KANYE’S DICK LATELY, BUT 50 IS WACK AND SUPREMELY OVER-RATED!!!
With all this “supposing beef” between Kanye and 50, I believe even more that this whole thing is just a publicity stunt….how much more have people got to repeat those words of “Who will be the king of hip-hop???” so ppl can fight over whos better outta these two….
Im sorry but al this is fake and just for publicity…
Kanye and 50, spare me the crap.
Damn…they both are ugly…and neither will be the King Of Hip-Hop…so NEXT!!!!
so mothafucking what? who buys albums anymore, who in the hell listens to the radio anymore, who in the hell listens to pop rap anymore. you do? how mothafucking lame. There are GREAT artists outside pushed corporate crap. Kanye sounds exactly the same as the day he started, the same for 50 cent. The haven’t grown, they got money and they have to keep up the ficade and I feel sorry for people who look at them and see success and “good music”, so um, who gives a fuck? it’s a publicity stunt anyway.
KANYE WEST ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whatever i’m buying kenny chesney cd…both of them fools getting on my nerves!! LOL
It’s funny how these 2 are the option for “King of Hip-Hop” You have to be kidding
And if there was this supposing beef wiv whos album is better….why would Kanye or 50 agree to do a photoshoot together for Rolling Stones? See all a publicity stunt for their faces to be recognised with all this hype of their albums being released at the same….They probs planned it all together, being the good friends they are wink wink….But you get what Im saying yall?
LMAO @ 14 DANG YOU DUMB…BUT I AM MOST DEFITNELY GETTING KANYE’S ALBUM 50 CENT HAS NO TALENT HE SAY THE SAME SHYT OL SLOBBER MOUTH AZZ I GET MONEY…WELL GO GET A SPEECH THERAPIST I HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING ANYTHING YOU SAY…AND 50 YOU HAVEN’T BEEN GOOD SINCE YOUR 1ST ALBUM….AND WHY DO YOU HAVE OUT 5 VIDEOS AND YOUR ALBUM HASN’T EVEN CAME OUT YET…KANYE ONLY HAS 2 AND PEOPLE ARE STILL BUMPING THE 1ST SINGLE BECAUSE YOU CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING!!!!
Not very good pics of either of them.
Screw all this hip-hop crap..give me some Rachelle Farellle, Will Downing, Rahsaan Patterson, Stevie Wonder, and Earth, Wind, and Fire, and I am good to go!
Who cares if they out sell one another…I hate rap. However, I hate 50cent more as an individual than I do rap…so Kanye all the way…but I’m supporting in talk only…cuz I’d be dammed if I go out and purchase either one of these albums!
OH AND BY THE WAY CHI-TOWN STAND UP!!!
Kanye is gonna kick ass. Kanye all the way, mayne!!!
Look truth be told, I’m glad to se two black people at the height of there success right nw but the game needs a little less of what 50 is bringing to the table .
On another note are so many people including the creater of this post so quick to play this up as a marketing ploy or a publicity stunt as to not lose any cool points for getting caught up in the excitement of the unraveling events. Its the music business. You people act like its not ok to try and make money by creating drama around your product becuase you dont stand to make any money from it, just shut up and buy the music stop trying to be the voice of reason damn.
I’m so over these two. Drop the dam albums already.
Rappers with too much money on their hands — check
Rappers with too much cockiness for their own good — check
Publicity stunt — check
what the hell differnce does it make that its a publicty stunt. You people are dumbass hell if you think these two negros are shaking hands and having champaign together at their album release parties. I guess the whole snoop dogg murder trial of 95 was to sell records too huh. Believe it or not conflict does happen in the music industry, espcially in hip hop at leats its being played out this way.
ANYWAY, I’M WAITING FOR SEPTEMBER 25TH, CUZ THATS WHEN MY GIRLS JILL SCOTT AND KEYSHIA COLE DROP THEIR ALBUMS. NO HYPE, NO MEDIA BUZZ, JUST GREAT MUSIC YOU CAN ENJOY
FORGET THESE TWO. I’M TIRED OF THIS. IT’S BECOMING MORE PLAYED OUT THAN ALL THE USHER/TAMEKA FOSTER ISH!
AS LONG AS JAY-Z IS LIVING NEITHER ONE OF THESE FAIRY’S WILL BE THE KING SO THEY NEED TO SIT THE HELL DOWN…
Thank you Jill Scott!
you gotta see this!!! dawn robinson (formerly of envogue/lucy pearl) has a reality TV show.

@ 31 SESAME STREET
See THAT’s what I’M talking about! You picked some underrated greats. Don’t sleep on Ledisi’s new joint, and look out for Liv Wakefield. Both are giving a strong Jill Scott vibe. I want some TRUE artist shit!
Rap ain’t saying nothing, really. Especially 50. Same boring-ass shit. But if I had a choice, I’d take Kanye, who at least puts an intelligent spin on a tyred-ass genre. Talib Kweli, too.
@ BASYBOO
How could I forget that?! – lol.
meant BASHYBOO
That could be the cover of a gay porno.
that’s a awesome magazine cover
50 cent allday anyday everyday
CURTIS can count on me!!
both of em r bout to be played out that’s why the faking all this drama to sell more albums.
I’m so damn sick of this rap rivalry thing. It’s played the fvck out already.
And shame on Rolling Stone for perpetuating this crap. Really, would they pit 2 white thirty-something rock stars against each other?
I won’t buy either album.
HOW BOUT DAT B-5 SHIT ON 9/11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@41
That looks worth watching.
lol @ some of you coming in here saying so what! Damn..If you don’t like the topic, skip it, and keep on moving as I do. You didn’t have to bring your crazy asses in here to even read it.
This may not have started out as a stunt, but being the good business men that I’m sure they are, they both decided to take it there. That’s what I call GREAT P.R.
Don’t you just love how Kanye tries to soften his eyes in the bottom pic.
50 looks APElike.
Kanye smooth & chill.
How come people consider this to be a competition? They are two completely different types of rap music and in the past 50′s has been bigger business and sold more. Kanye is a sometimes backpacker/ semi-political/ always trying to be clever or funny rappper and 50 is a straight gangsta/love song rapper. The only reason there is a debate is because every G-Unit release since the Massacre has been a flop and a lot of people are tired of 50′s antics so they want him to lose.
Can somebody say publicity stunt! Behind the scenes it probably all love and they just wanna sell! This so called rivalry is to boost albums sales! So call me a hater if you want! But I won’t be purchasing none of their albums! Yall can help them pay their bills and fill their pockets if you want!
I’ll make sure I will support that fiddy he is FINE!!!!
@ 52 TGS
So everybody here is supposed to suck their dicks? Please. Who the hell are you to tell people not to have an opinion? Why don’t YOU go and visit a FAN SITE if you don’t want to be opposed. Fuk outta here.
I knew it. This was all a damn publicity stunt to sell more.
KANYE LOOKIN LIKE HE WANTS TO KISS AND CONSOLE 50…LOL…WHILE 50 ON THE OTHER HAND LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO BEAT KANYE’S ASS…LOL
I STILL THINK 50 SHOULDA KEPT HIS MOUTH CLOSED ON THAT “IF I LOSE TO KANYE I WONT RELEASE ANYMORE SOLO ALBUMS” THAT WAS DUMB…
