and oh yeah, am not really a big fan of neither but trust me when i say this, i’ve listened to both albums and kanyes shit is boring as fuck, cl is just lying becoz they on the payroll but they know as i do that ye’s shit is really boring, on the other hand, altho 50 kinda talks about the same shit, his album is way better, it has hit after hit after hit literally, mary j, akon, nicole, eminem, justin….. come on man, dont hide from the truth cl

one of my favs good life champion big brother and finer things

London Loves Kanye!!!!!!!

#5 YOU SOUND STUPID FOR BEING ON FIDDY’S NUTS SO HARD
DAMN CAN YOU GET ME AN AUTOGRAHP CL IM WITH KANYE TOO
AND EVERYONE GOT THEY OWN OPINION I BEEN HEARING ALOT OF FIDDY AND KANYE, KANYE HAS CLASSIC AFTER CLASSIC EVERYTHINGS EITHER DIFFERENT OR PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO KANYE ON THE OTHER HAND WITH FIDDY JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER RAPPER CLUB,CARS,GIRLS,MONEY,AND TALKING SHIT IS ALL HIS ALBUM’S ALL ABOUT 50 ONLY NEED ONE TRACK 4 AND ALBUM SINCE HE’S NOT COMING WITH THE NEW
ALL 50 DOES IS FEATURE DIFFERENT ARTIST JUST TO SALE ALBUMS AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, ITS ALL COOL BUT THEN AGAIN WHAT DO YOU GOT WITHOUT SOMEONE SINGING YOUR CHORUS ALL THE TIME

G-UNIT

Forget about both Kanye and 50, when is Mike Jones dropping his album, i can’t wait. Kanye and 50 don’t neva give out their phone numbers on songs, so who cares, Mike Jones ppl, dats the nicca right there, Who…. Mike Jones, you heard it first classic album on the way.

I cant wait to see 50 renig on his comments about quitting and start spitting consiracy theories and huge backdoor conglomerates buying up Kanyes album to make it unfair.

i got nuthin against kanyes fans for theres nothin wrong wit digging kanye but am not gonna buy an album wit some nigga talkin bout shit i dont giv a fuck about, am not in it for some kinda lesson from someone that just graduated, to be honest i’d rather listen to shit about club, cars, girls and money becoz i live for that shit whether its from fifty, lil wayne, game or even mike jones, call me shallow but am sure having a blast wit all the money, cars and girls i got, plus it doesnt hurt that the music sounds real good to, n kanyes a producer but fifty got better beats on his album, that hurts

PS: to Y.M.A, kanye got classic after classic??? lol thats just really funny

Not really a Kanye fan of fiddy but I’ll support fiddy before Kanye!

I don’t really like either. I think this is good for Hip-hop though, this little competition they got going. However, I think hype far exceeds the talent of these artists. They both have their moments, but I just find it hard to believe that people are throwing around “classic” every time they like a fucking album. Neither of these albums are classic.

I dunno I dont mind Kanye and 50 Cent…but not all the time…

But all this hype about their albums to be released on the same day just sounds like one of those publicity stunts, for ppl to be hyped up and compare the two artist, which they are such randomly different artists…..so WE are the ones comparing and battling out whos better, and at the end of the day we’re the ones being the album…..not them….

I feel Kayne and 50 cent do not seem bothered wiv their albums being released at the same time…so like I said I reckon its just a publicity stunt which there is no suprises there looking at both Kayne and 50….

I’m still going to support Kanye anyway. I feel his music is more real, and I like the fact he talks about God.

Why is cl always posting stuff about Kangay and not 50? Is this an anti-50 site or something? I would expect a website like this to be fair, but no 50 stuff at all! Damn!

I like Kanye and cant stand 50, end of story. Its not because of CL either because I could care less about what their opinion is. But I feel that Kanye is so much more original than most artists out today. I can respect the fact that 50 did play the industray and became a multi millionaire, but I dont respect him as a person. I think his music is lame and cliche (even though I am a lil wayne fan at least he switches it up lyrically). 50’s entire persona is just hard to believe. At least Kanye puts it out there when its necessary and unecessary. You gotta respect his ability to be bold and take risks. Thus the reason why I WILL be buying his album regardless of other opinions. I haven’t purchased a CD in over 3 years so that says something.

@ 18….. you havent purchased a cd in 3 years?????? that only says u broke

Its funny to hear people say that KanYe album is boring. Those are the people that think music is only good if U can dance to it. Ye is much more than that and he makes great music. He reinvents himself every album and got better lyrically. 50 album is the same thing as his last album.

The album is hot, hot, hot. I’m lovin’ it. Yeah has done a sterling job. Still trying to pick out the best, as there are many favourites.

The album is hot, hot, hot. I’m lovin’ it. ‘Ye has done a sterling job. Still trying to pick out the best, as there are many favourites.

You either love Ye or you hate him. If you don’t get his music you never will, and thats fine.

I heard some of Kanye’s new material and all I got to say is HOTNESS!!!! I’m not even into hip hop that big, I rarely, rarely buy a hip hop joint, but from what I heard from Kanye this is FIRE!!!! I will be buying it. 50’s Get Money is the only joint I’m feeling so far from him. Since I’m into lyrics and artists that have something to say…TEAM KANYE!!!!!!!!!!

I’m loving it…

I love Kanye music But…I wish them both much success with their CD’s..Both have something to say, they just said it differently….

It’s definitely HOT. 50 might have to fall back for a minute. Ye is crazy. My man was like, “Remember Chauncey, he was black the street was.” lol. He’s a mess at times but the boy has talent. I think this will blow the competition out of the water.

I heard Kayne’s album is a classic…he just keeps getting better and better. I really appreciate artists such as Kayne…artists who march to the beat of their own drum. I can’t wait for Sept 11th to come so I can get my hands on it!!!

Oh yeah the art is beyond hot…I love that damn teddy bear!!!

College Dropout>Late Registration> Graduation

GRODT> Mass> Curtis

They both have a few hot joints, but not their best work to date.

CL stop the hate, not a good look.

Ok I heard Ye cd was the bomb but I refuse to listen I have decided to by both cd I can’t front on 50.

I got the Kanye joint last week…Flashing LIghts is my sh*t. Got 50s too….aight at best

Kanye album is dat hotness! Welcome to the Goodlife!!!!
Thatss my shit!

I love Kanye’s Album, waaayy better than 50’s, it’s more classic….I Love It!!

As always, I will ALWAYS support Kanyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I’d purchase a Kanye West CD b4 a 50 cent CD… I really don’t need 2 be reminded how rich 50 cent is off of stupid endorsement deals and non-sense Beef…

Can’t wait to watch BET’s 106 & Park for the 50 CENT & KANYE WEST Showdown… Tuesday September 11th, i have 2 tune in 4 this one !!!

Neither one of them is making or giving me a dime so who cares. I am not buying either one. Sitting up here arguing like we are gonna get rich off of it. They trying to get even richer off of you and all we do is feed into it. Its a publicity stunt people!!! Get over it.

their both ok albums nothing to rush out for

I have Kanye’s album and I like it a lot.There may be one or two songs I don’t like but I like majority of the record. I like 50’s business savviness more than his music. I think I was the only one who didn’t care for the” In da Club” song. But he seem like a cool and honest dude during his interviews. He’s a lil controversial but the stuff he says be the truth for the most part…even if some of us don’t want to hear it. I like Kanye too and I like the freshness of his music. It’s a 80 sound that I didn’t know I missed until he brought it back. Rap can get a lil boring with people talking about the same thing (cars, women, drugs, blah blah blah). I hope they both do good. I don’t wish misfortune on anyone. They both grinding and trying to make an honest living. Got to respect that.

the album is tight especially Big Brother and Champion…however if these albums keep leaking reappers are going to end up working in fast food joints pretty soon
I think 50’s album is tight too

People keep saying Graduation is a classic..I just don’t see it.Sure it’s a good album,but it’s the worst one out of the 3 he’s put out.I think that music is so lame now,that the first sign of half decent material to come out,people wanna say it’s classic..Lyrically ye’ has stepped his game up,but his beats aren’t as knockin as his first 2 joints.I think Big Brother is the most complete song on there.U can’t even compare him and 50,they have 2 different styles.50’s album was cool,i think it’s better than the massacre.Kanye wins in the quality dept.,but i think 50 will win in the sales dept..If u a real fan of hip hop,you’d support both.These might be the last 2 good albums we hear this year

LUV LUV LUV Kanye album and I will still BUY the album its great lets get 50 no rhyming corny controversy whoring gorilla unit face outta here GO KANY ITS UR BIRTHDAY!!! Graduation is my shizznit! I love CHANPION and THE GLORY! LOVE U KANYE

JERMAINE DUPREE PLAYED EXCLUSIVES FROM BOTH KANYE & FITTY ON SO SO DEF RADIO SAT NITE. BOTH ALBUMS ARE ACTUALLY HOT, BUT AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT, I’M FEELING KANYE’S A LITTLE MORE….

Still a publicity stunt for Kanye, all so he can can laugh at 50 and say “My album leaked and it still outsold yours!!!!” I choose to wait for sept 11th and pick Kanye up then. “Flashing Lights” is a classic, represent the D Dwele!!!!!

#5 Guest appearances can’t make up 4 crappy material! no ones saying that 50 isn’t talented but after all these years where’s the growth & maturity as a artist? Hell even biggie once said he can’t rap about being broke anymore cause he wasn’t broke!

All i’m sayin’ is 50 owes his fans quality for shelling out their money, not a bunch of publicity stunts & cheap theatric just to sell a record!

P.S. Welcome to the G.O.O.D Life

I’m more of a 50 fan but i plan on getting both. I like 50’s joint better but i can’t front….Kanye’s is pretty hot too. #8 How can you say all 50 does is feature different artists to sale albums…….do you have a 50 album?? Let’s see……In the Club, 21 Questions, Candy Shop, Just a Lil’ Bit………what features….NATE DOGG?!?!?!?
Until this album all guests have been pretty much in house. Stop Hating on 50. Do your research.

Oh, and #10 should be banned from commenting on anything hip-hop/rap related for disgracing the board with a Mike Jones comment. >>>>>NUFF SAID.

Freakin’ Love This Album! Pure Genius!

I love the production on “Flashing Lights” I like it :-)!! I dont think I will purchasing either of thier cds until I can hear them both.

@ at 10 & 47

lol I mean

Freakin’ Love This Album! Pure Genius! And Kanye Will Be GETTING MY MONEY on the 11th!

To #5, mannn are you crazy. CL aint lyin, 50s album is weak as hell. I like two songs on there and they are that all the way to the bank and that I get money joint. The rest sounds like a pop album. Th ewhole album sounds like that same shit from previous albums and he’s talkin bout the same shit tat he doens’t reallt do. Basically I hit nextg on every song after listening for 15 seconds. Kanye’s album on the other hand can be played all the way through will listining to a majority of the tracks 2 times in a row.

Yeah, I got an advance copy and it’s fiyah. Of course Good Life is one of the highlights but Big Brother, and Everything I am are my favorites. Holla!

I want everybody to look at # 12’s comment, study it . Now, all have to say about that is It’s broke ass niggaz like him thats the reason music is in the state its in. The reason why you dont really have be able to rap to get a deal becuase niggaz like him want to live vicariously through these fools lyrics when the artist is barely living the life they rap about. You heard him your self, he aint interested in hearing about some one who just graduated , he wants to hear about money cars and clubs which right there tells me this nigga is a resident of “21 front street” but thats another story.

point blank 50’s album is weak he milked his getting shot for all its worth, white people have become acustomed to him and are no longer are as scared of him therefore he doesn’t have that appeal. All thats left is his talent which speaks as to why he pulled a “diddy” with cameo after cameo on his album. Kanyes album is by far not as good as his other 2 I mean lets be honest about it but when it comes between the two , it’s obviously kanye.

cute song. =]
hey guys visit http://www.katdelunaonline.org it’s the newest source for kat deluna!

The fan love for 50 outside blogs is overwhelming

On Westwood radio show (whole UK) he played Curtis Vs Graduation track for track and the poll on calls and texts had 50 cent winning by a landslide.

50 cent will win it and it wont even be close, people saying its whack probably havent heard it lol. Graduation is Kanye’s worst album to date no doubt. nothing near a ‘classic’

Curtis has this one. easy

I just got the Kanye West album. And its really really good. I’m always amazed at the production and lyrics like Brian said.

My fav songs are Good Morning, Champion, and Flashing Lights!

Congrats Kanye for creating alternative hiphop. That aint all about fucking hoes, bangin bitches, and cookin crack!!!

I love that 50 cent “I Get Money” song, but he might as well hang it up. Kanye gone smash his ass in record sells.

Between 50 cent and Kanye, I like the overall message that Kanye sends, but can’t he do it without the damn remakes and samples? He butchered Michael Jackson’s PYT worse than Monica.

Im sure K. West CD will exceed my expectations…Love This DUDE!

These comments are for everybody on CL regarding the constant hatred towards anything Fifty Cent. Forget it I’m wasting my breath but no I have to speak on it cuz I’ve heard the whole Kanye album and in agreement with some of the honest ones on here. It’s pretty boring. This is not to say the album is not good. It’s good but boring at times.

I hope all of you can be objective in your views and not blatantly write off such a music making talent as 50 is. Folks, like he would tell you himself, he’s written and made hit songs consistently since he came out and has sold close 20 million records worldwide in a span of 5 or years. Is this the appreciation he deserves….perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised for niggas have PHD (player hater degrees) It’s really puzzling how people can love Jay Z for his success but hate 50 for his success. I guess the difference is that 50 came up too quickly.
While I’m reluctant to say he’s blessed, i believe that’s what it is. Stop hating and appreciate. Kanye is a good rapper and a great producer but he’s not in 50’s class when it comes to making music. He doesn’t have nearly as many hits and writing credits to be in his league.
Remember my point is 50 makes great music for your listening pleasure of your dancing feet. Kanye makes good music for your listening pleasure.
My word is appreciate and stop with the nonsense.

To angel and Brian how come you are not reviewing 50’s album also??

I love “Good Life”, it’s one of my favorite from the album.

@55 - thank you!
Folks can argue all day long about who has the better beats, but Kanye clearly has the better message. All that guns and bitches talk just keeps Black people down.

i haven’t bootlegged registration but i’ve already heard it because hot 97 has been playing it.. i think i’ll buy it though

I’m buyin kanye’s album, I definitely luv what i’ve been hearin so far. I get money is a hot ass song but…………that’s all!

@itson! and that means?? let’s be honest, the public isn’t exactly a great source when it comes to showing what REAL music is.

i hope ppl wise up and buy kanye’s album b/c he’s more original than 50 could ever be. all 50 does is add to the negative stereotypes of hip hop. i’m tired of hearing ppl down hip hop like all it revolves around is money, sex, etc. hip hop is much more than that but when you support artists like 50, you strengthen the stereotype. frankly, i’m not willing to make hip hop look bad so kanye all the way

besides that dwele and kanye song is ridiculous. love it!!

Go head Kanye!

Put ugly ape looking, 50 Cent into retirement wit his STD-infested self.

Danny if your confused as to how people can love Jay -Z and hate 50, it’s becuase 50 keeps running his fuckin mouth but doesnt have the skill to back it up just the hype.

When you get past all the fandom I ‘m reppin 50 bull shit he’s not a good rapper thats what it comes down to. Put it to you this way. vanilla ice had a hits as well . He has one of the best selling rap albums of all times believe it or not according to you this puts him in a class above kanye becuase he hasnt had as many hits . This speaks for it self.

I agree # 55. I thought I was the only one who noticed it. We will never advance as black people if all we want to talk about is money, cars, and hoes. I think thats why more people are feeling Kanye this time around. Everybody is sick of hearing the same thing. 50 hasnt changed his subject manner or the way he delivers it since he debuted. All the greats have the ability to rap about different subjects. Jay, Nas, Biggie, and Tupac all rapped about the gangsta life and the streets but they also rapped about imortant issues and things that made us think. I commend Kanye cause he is able to talk about money and cars then he can also talk about important issues.

Concreteloop you need to give fair play for both artist. It is sad that you chose to only play Kanye and not 50 cent. Both are very good at what they do — sell records and make hits. I plan to buy BOTH cds and would like to get a sample of BOTH albums.

CONCRETELOOP you are bigger than that!!!

I totally agree #71.

I will be purchasing both albums. They both have totally different vibes. There’s gonna come a time of day when I wanna street songs from 50…and another when I wanna bump the likes of Kanye. You can like & support both. Same genre/ two TOTALLY different artists.

Hey……Isn’t it Beyonce’s B-day Today, Why no Love for Beee!…..Sorry! Anyways I have heard a lot of Ye’s album and it is the Shit! The tracks with Common and the remix with Young Joc is amazing. Kanye has substance and actually raps about shit worth listening to. 50 cent has been hot Garbage for a min, but big ups to him making MILLIONS via Vitamin Water…..I hope Ye slays him so we won’t hear his mubbling ass for the rest of our lives!

Kill em’ Ye!

I will be buy both of theswe also, can hardly wait.

Damn why don’t ya’ll fall back. last time I chcked it wasn’t 9/11 so there is still ample time to get both reviews up….damn. Any way why would they not show love for Kanye first, he has made it quite clear that he’s a fan of this blog.

50 CENT SELLING MILLIONS OF RECORDS DOESN’T MEAN HE’S HOT. BRITNEY FUCKING SPEARS HAS SOLD MILLIONS, DOES THAT MEAN SHE’S GOT TALENT OR IS ANY GOOD??!!

HELL EVEN KHIA SOLD A MILLION WITH ONE ALBUM–DOES THAT MAKE HER ANY GOOD??!!

ALL IT SAYS IS THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF DUMB, IGNORANT COMPLETE RETARDS WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT REAL MUSIC IS, IF IT WAS RIGHT IN-FRONT OF THEM.

IS THAT THE SAME DJ WHO ANGEL POSTED ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO? THE POST HAD A COUPLE OF KANYE TRACKS UP AND A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF KANYE ON HIS SHOW.

THAT WESTWOOD DUDE SOUNDED WACK AND ISN’T REPRESENTATIVE OF HIP-HOP. IF THE UK ARE INTO 50 MORE THAN KANYE, THEN IT JUST SAYS WHAT A BUNCH OF FUCKTARD DUMBASSES THEY ARE WHO KNOW SHIT ABOUT HIP-HOP!!

50 Cent needs to learn how to speak English first before trying to make albums.

Ok…so I’ve never commented on this site but today I’ve never been more compelled…Clearly from the username you can see that I am from Chicago, so I am a huge fan of almost all Chicago artist. Although you may consider my opinion somewhat biased I have to say that Kanye West (not excluding Common) is truly a breath of fresh air to this music we call Hip-Hop…not since Jay’s “Reasonable Doubt”, Commons “Be”, Nas’s “Stillmatic”, Mos Def’s “Black on Both Sides” and Kanye’s own “College Dropout”, have I heard songs that immediately took me to another place…and not just with the production but with actual lyrics that I feel speak to me…In my opinion anyone who doesn’t feel his music is a hater because his talent is evident and cannot be denied…

However, if you’re not a fan of his personality that is understandable, being over confident can definitely be a turn off…but I personally love it…and as far as Fifty is concerned I am a fan of him as well…but is he worthy of the #1 spot over Kanye…ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

#45, 50’s cd leaked as well before and after kanye’s. its very obvious that CL is not a fun of 50 its a shame because you would think since everybody come on here they will be neutral at least pretend to be but thay are asking us to go on myspace and say cl sent us. i’m sure they are getting paid for that. thats crazy. love both guys but i think i will be buying 50’s. they both love to show off but YE’s way off showing off is a lil more annoying

50 raps about the same stuff over and over again, talkin’ about some chick he had on all fours at the club, or some dude he’s gonna shoot up with his AK47. “I get Money” is meh. Kanye is an egotistical punk, but he’s an egotistical punk with good music out real talk. So giving props where props are due, all dissing aside, Kanye gets my vote.

I will say this to 50. I thought it was incredibly smart to steal the energy garnered from cameron’s diss song “curtis” by naming his album curtis. Very smart move becuase I honestly thought 50 wasn’t comming back from that one . Very good business move.

But for anybody doubting the wackness that is “curtis” let me bring you back to oh say about 2 or 3 months ago, before “i get money” any body remember the 3 wack ass singles he released before “i get money” like amusment park for one. The songs that almost decided the fate of his rap career. If any fans of his was wondering why people were unanimously siding with Kanye, that had soemthing to do with it as well as his big mouth.

I LOVE ME SOME KANYE, AND THAT ALBUM IS SO COLD!!! I JUST HAD TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. I HAVE TO BANG IT EVERYDAY!!!!!

forget what every single urban blog is saying.
for some reason they all on kanyes dick,which yall should be ashamed of,why choose sides?

simple fact is.
im a fan of both guys equally,and ill go on record as saying 50s curtis is much better than kanyes graduation.

not that graduation is all bad,but there is some truly awful songs on there that all the blogs seem not to be mentioning in their reviews.
barry bonds and drunk and hot girls are 2 of the worst songs ive ever heard in my life.
theres about 3 or 4 songs which are only slightly better than those and about 3 or 4 which are excellent.
thats not classic material in my opinion.

weed out the haters and listen to people like me who are telling it on the real.

i really like champion, and flashing lights. I agree that there are some boring parts but what i really like about the album/songs is that it isn’t all about bitches, hoes, and cars (that have most likely been rented) and the usual that we get from this crappy music industry. 50 meh same old shit.

LMAO AT CONCRETELOOP SAYING GO PLEASE GO KANYE’S MYSPACE AND SAY CONCRETELOOP SENT US. NOW WHY WOULD WE WANNA DO THAT?? SO YOU CAH GET PAID SOME MORE DOLLARS?

PLEASE DONT EVEN DO THE CURYIS REVIEW COZ WE KNOW YOU’LL BE STRAIGHT HATIN. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR FACES WHEN KANYE IS WHOOPED NEXT WEEK.

CURTIS ANYDAY, ALLDAY, EVERYDAY!

Dont really care too much for the first one with T-Pain. But the joint with Dwele is HOTTTTT!! Plus I love Dwele. He and Dwele make a good colabo. Check the “Hold On” remix.

You people are so phoney and brainwashed! Kanye CD is not anyone’s Classic! GTFOH!!!!!!!!!!!! For the most part its boring as hell. yeah he speaks on different topics but the topics aren’t that informative!?!?!?!?!?…………I like Flashing Lights becasue of Dwele and I like the Beat of that jay Z dickriding song Big Brother. Its not the worse CD but its not a damn classic people! Nevertheless, I may bootleg it after I hear the other songs. I’ve heard about 8 and only liked 2. So there. And I don’t support artists like 50 Cents so it doesn’t matter what his shit sounds like. If I don’t hear it at Happy Hour or on the radio, I won’t hear it!

#86

And if your “Da da” gets son’ed like it inevitibly seems then I’m sure you’ll come back on here and apologize for making your self look like an illiterate jackass right….I doubt it.

Why do black folks always assume people are getting paid by an apposing side of the argment to make there argument. “WHY SO YOU CAN GET MORE MONEY” From who negro? whoooo?

This is like Jay vs. Nas all over again, only better. lol

fckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk wat chyall sayyyy ii will buy 30 kanye albums before ii pay money fa 50. kanye is so ill with every song he does from production to lyrics. 50 juss a nigga who made it && i`ll be dammed if ii give him EXTRA money…he alreadyy good off a vitamin water. but i have nothing against 50…i`ll lissen ta his album ii juss wont PAY FOR iT

BTW, who gives a shit about B? This is not a Beyonce post. Damn.

#19 No that says that theres no good music worth buying. I actually take that back, I did buy Ne-yo’s cd’s. Dont be such a smart ass. Grow up.

“Flashing Lights” is the shit!!! His CD is Fire!!!

its his best so far… curtis lost.

lmao at Kanye stans

he dont even love you fools, he hates bloggers too lol. that Graduation album is whack.

Curtis Sept 11th,

Nigga how you gon’ clown Kanye fans then end your coment with a curtis album plug. Do you have a sandwich board that says curtis sep 11 too. damn. Shameless stan.

Truth be told from what I heard so far, I’m sorry to say I’m not really feeling Kanye’s album to much but 50 needs to be put back in the crate and shoved underneath the stairs of the science labratory like that monkey creature from the movie Creepshow. I’m sick of his ass, he breeds nothing but negativity and hate to the hip hop game.

I’m looking forward to Kanye’s album. Hopefully the brother has something to say and won’t be scared to say it.

‘Drunk N Hot Girls’ is the jam! Go Kanye!!!!!

WOW!!! The number of 50 haters continue to grow………like i said before, i am a fan of both 50 & Ye’s music but c’mon!!! 50 raps about the same thing over and over?!?! 50 is too cocky and never shuts up?!?! How can you use these things against him in this argument? Negro Please!!!!!! Those would be good points Kanye lovers/50 haters if Kanye was humble or if he didnt try to kick knowledge then go off into some bull s**t about lovin blonde dikes & females with fake breasts & silicon booties. On the real he is a traitor. Dame Dash put him on the R.O.C. when Jay just thought of him as a tight pink shirt wearing queer & he give him a song?? He is waiting to get his money right. 50 got 400 million from vitamin water. You can’t tell him nothing!!

I’m gone have to givie this one to Kanye. Love his music.

And to the clones on this blog who can’t help but to bring up Beyonce, stick to the damn subject!!! You urking me like that dude i had to comment on in my rant in #47

to Hdizzle, i really hop every1 took a close look at my comment n realised the sarcasm in it when i said i aint in it for some kinda lesson from some1 who just graduated, nd if they didnt then theyre just as dumb as u and i could care less about what their opinion is… heres the thing, kanyes a good producer and in my opinion thats it, the rest of his shit really i aint interested in for the mere fact that it bores the shit outta me, fifty aint better than kanye when it comes to rapping but i’d rather listen to his shit becuz i just feel it more, i can bump my head to it more, i can play it when am high, in my car, at parties and its just dope…… and i dont live on 21 front street whatever that means, i live in cairo, egypt where people dig fif more than ye

*i couldnt care less

Has anyone noticed he sampled MJ’s PYT on ‘Good Life’? Love it!

Just finished listening to the the album myself (an advance copy of course) and i thought it was wonderful. I agree…new things, great album. Kanye mixes contemporary hip-hop with modern hip hop very well…

Did anyone know that jill scott album is coming out SEPT 11 too? Im most def. goin to cop that….as for kanye west MOST DEF>>>>>over 50 cent aka Curious GEoRGE wit steroids hell naw he made like 7 songs already off that album….”Straight To tHe BAnk” “Amusement Park” “Ayo Technology” “Follow My Lead” and so on….yawn 50 needs to sit his buck-tooth ass down!! REAL TALK

HOLLA BACK!

Uhhhmmm…the hostility that has developed on this page is hillarious…I love how passionate people are about these two…healthy debate is always fun…however, to those that don’t like the attention that Kanye is getting from this site then maybe you should stay away for a couple of weeks until the albums have been released and the hype calms down…your anger is baffling to me…and just as you said Kanye aint paying us…Fifty is not dishing out any cash either…so have a seat please

Kanye and 50

I’m all for appreciating great music of all genres–including rock, pop & alternative…but let’s be REAL people. Some of you Kanye bandwagoners are flucking delusional & brainwashed, as others stated. Graduation is NOT a classic. Nowhere near it & folks who know true hip hop (which disqualifies most under 25) are embarrassed for those that claim it is. I LOVED & still play Kanye’s first 2 CDs (and own most of Common & Talib’s catalogs, etc…so this isn’t about bias), but his latest only has 4-5 songs I’d download!! So this isn’t about not liking “evolved” music. If it moves me, it moves me…and what I’ve heard of Curtis is a banger. Period. So stop frontin’ on 50. You don’t have to like him, but stop lying to yourselves.

OF COURSE ITS A PUBLICITY STUNT…. AND PEOPLE REALLY BUY INTO THAT… JUST THINK. IF EMINEM AND KANYE DROP THEIR CD ON THE SAME DAY. YALL GO NUTS!! SO JUST BUT INTO IT. ITS FUN LOL.

What sort of review is this? Can you actually label this a review stop half assing everything. How is the production, what is the general feel of the album, has he deviated much from his original style, has he become a better mc? Additionally are you going to review 50 cents leak?

You should entitle this thread random thoughts about the Kanye West Leak

you talk sense man.
the cd is seriously not as great as the blogs would try and have people believe.

ive had graduation on my ipod since friday,i deleted about 4 songs on saturday and i skip about 2 or 3 songs when ive actually listened to it.

where as i downloaded curtis last night and put it on my ipod straight away,i can honestly say that ive listened to it on my way to and home from work without skipping a track.

50 haters go ahead and hate,but dont bust a lung trying to convince everyone how good graduation is,when its not all that.

first off fifty can’t rap, alll he do is keep up mess, that is the only way he sells records is by talking about someone that is not hip hop. fifty aint sh**.. kanye west allday retire that sorry a** joke…G-unot

I love Kanye’s album, 50’s is nice too but Kanye does it for me. The beats and lyrics are genius I love it!

KanYe West!!

I like kanye song good life it sound nice however I would not be supporting his music due his song gold digger in regards to black females I just cant support anyone that have those type of views in regards to a black female so I would go with 50 all the way.

can’t wait for kanye’s album
they play flashing lights on the radio here in chicago

Black ppl & real hip hop heads know the deal!!! Kanye is it! 50? LAME!!!! He may be a “rapper” but he’s NOT HIP HOP!!!! He sings and wears big collars… seriously?!
Real hip hop heads on here… ignore the 50 cent d!@k riders!

THE ONLY REASON WHY DUDE CALLED HIS SHIT “GRADUATION” IS BECAUSE HE IS RUNNING OUT OF OLD SCHOOL SONGS TO JACK. NOT ONLY THAT, DUDE IS SIGNED WITH THE CAMEL FROM THE CIGARETTE BOX HOVA. ITS TIME FOR THIS DUDE TO RETIRE SERIOUSLY. TAKE THAT OLD HEAD WITH YOU. AS FOR CURTIS, I ONLY GOT ONE THING TO SAY ABOUT HIM. SHOW SOME COURTISY CURTIS AND STOP MAKING HOMO MUSIC YA DIG. YOUR STYLE IS PLAYED. JUST BECAUSE I HATE BOTH OF THESE DUDES, I CAN’T WASTE MY MONEY ON BUYING THEIR SHIT. ITS JUST A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT HYPE. I HATE THAT I WASTED MY TIME COMMENTING ON THESE BUSTAZ. I’M JUST WAITING FOR MY BOY CAM TO COME OUT. YALL NIGGAZ SLEEPING ON DIPSET.

I actually like Kanye’s Graduation better than 50’s Curtis..”I Wonder”, “Flashing Lights”, “Champion”, “Finer Things” & “Big Brother” are HOTT!

The only song I really like off of Curtis is “I’ll Still Kill ft. Akon” ..the rest is blah….

Concreteloop,

Why are yall being so mean? Since those two are going against each other on 9/11, why did u didn’t put 50 cent review album on there but you put kanye west as soon as possible? I think you should of put 50 cent album review on there too because it is not fair for the 50 cent fans….I have good respect for kanye west, but every song that 50 came out i liked…Kanye west had some good songs too, but right now i am not feeling those two songs that he has out now…And everyone is rooting for ”BUY KANYE WEST GRADUATION!!!”, but you don’t see the 50 cents fans bragging about it…Just do the 50 cent’s fans a favor and put the album review on there because it is not right to just promote kanye and forget about 50…

I love the Dips, but Cam is on some bull. It’s going to take Jim/Juelz to save that team. I don’t think Cam has a come back in him…

50 cent sells a image A hood image for people who not from that enviroment people form the hood know 50 full of shit and basically selling to subarban idots like them white kids on banging in little rock Kanye new and KANYE IS REAL WHAT WE MISSING IN MUSIC THE REALNESS

I’m tired of both the loudmouths anyway. I haven’t bought Kanye’s or 50’s albums since they came out. I’ll probably buy Keyshia’s, but not from the store. I hope Kenny Chesney kicks both their asses.

I The fact that 50’s music and content is internationally praised in stead of lyrics and substance speak volumes more so then any thing you can say to back track out of soundign like the fool you made your self into earlier. You big ballin’ shot callin….. in cairo and you feel 50’s life reflects more apon yours, riiiiiight. You and people like you are responsible for the decline of music like I said in the first place, you don’t know any better.

Those two tracks are hott!!!! I’m glad that you posted those two songs. I was starting to lose interest and enthusiasm! This has rejuvenated my enthusiasm.

AS ALWAYS…PEOPLE HATING ON 50. NEXT WEEK IS ALMOST NEAR…I CANT WAIT TO SEE KANYE NUMBERS COMPARE TO 50. LETS SEE WHO WILL BE ON TOP COME SEPT 11.

I will be buying Kanye’s album. The end.

My 2 cents: Is this rivalry really necessary? I’m not saying anything new by pointing out people have to prefer one or the other. They are both very different artists, if they were the same that would be BORING. That said, after listening to both albums I have to say I prefer Kanye’s. 50’s album is more upbeat, but as someone else pointed out his subject matter is not as varied as Kanye’s is. Kanye is lyrically clever and his music uses samples by songs the average hip-hop fan has never heard of. All of these things make his album a more interesting listen. Basically, what it comes down to is this: I listen to Kanye’s words whereas “Curtis” is about the beats. It doesn’t matter if 50 outsells Kanye in the end (although I hope that doesn’t happen) because Kanye’s album is more creative at the end of the day.

Furthermore Kanye is more relatable. How many people can say they can identify with being shot 9 times? I can’t wait to BUY Kanye’s album.

I’m amazed at all these kats trying to defend 50 cent “loose change” as if he’s a real artist. There is NOTHING real about that dude. U think he makes music b/c he likes it? U think he makes music for his fans? Hell to the naw!

50 said himseLF that the only reason he got into the music industry was b/c of the money. He just wanted to make money. Thats what its always been about. He glorifies the dolla bills and thats a problem.

Y do u think he has nothing to talk about on his songs? B/c he knows for a fact (as all of u buyers have proven on his every albums) that he can rhyme about some bullshit and ya’ll still eat it up as if it tasted good. He’’s a rapper without a conscious. He dont have a soul He doesn’t care about who’s on the receiving end of his music. All he wants is the money, and you’re only helping him make more.

I was pissed when 50 had the nerve to say that the song “In da club” was a celebration of life. Dude had the nerve to compare it to that Tupac and Biggie song. Wtf? In no way, not even CLOSE, is 50 similar to Tupac or Biggie. Fuck that.

Kanye does have his dull moments, cause honestly when they both first came out, I didnt see anything special about neither. But I did acknowledge the fact that Kanye had more “Real talk” than 50 ever could. Especially after 50’s first album. And I’d rather listen to something that’s real over bullshit. Kanye has a soul and he loves music. He makes music b/c its in him and he wants to share it with us. He’s not using it as a way to get rich.

For about 95% of the rappers out there: Take away all those common topics of hoes, cars, gangsta life, money, and bling (pretty much any bullshit) that those rappers speak about and you know what you’ll have on your hands? A rapper (a joke really) that aint got nothin to rap about.

Real Talk.

Heard half of Ye album and heard on on snippets of 50 Album. IDK, ‘ye has some bangers on there(Flashing Lights, Champion, Good Morning, and Barry Bonds). I have to get into the rest of it though. As for Currrrriiiitssss, can’t say…. It starts of nice, but then it just flatlines. Fire has to be the worst beat Dre produced, ever!! But I would say I Still Kill is one of the best songs I’ve heard this year. Akon proves he could make any song sound good, And DJ Khali has to be one of the better producers of the year(hear Game’s “My Bitch” if you want a example). Other then that, which CD will I cop? Both… Kanye’s from Best Buy, Currrriiittss from homie on the corner of Crenshaw & Martin Luther King Blvd. And I’m out like Michigan is out of the polls.

Are yall getting paid by Kanye West adn 50 cents promotion team? Oh you’re not?…….

no. 126, hdizzle
no am not backtracking from wat i said earlier, infact i stand by it whether i look like a fool in ur eyes or not, i meant it when i said it and i still mean it now, kanyes shit is boring, substance or no substance, thats my opinion and if u dont respect it then you can go f**k urself, and when you do talk about the decline in music u sound more of a fool than any of your twelve year old friends on this site, music sales are down because of this little thing called the internet that we r both on at the moment thru downloads and leaks, and no one forces anyone to buy fifty or kanyes shit, they do so on their own with this little thing called freedom to do whatever the f**k u want, and for some reason fifty still sells more than kanye waste does, i wonder why, its called having your own personal taste and untill now more people hav chosen 50 over kanye whether black, white, yellow or watever the fact is fifty has been shot up to the top thru people like you, and now that hes already there he has nothin to prove so kanye can outsell him and 50 will still be laughing straight to the bank and his fans will still be satisfied with wat he has put out, end of story

I swear fans can be so fake..I wonder if this blog was up when 50 first came up,how many of the same people hatin on him now,would’ve been on his nuts.If you’re in the business to make money,you’re gonna stick with what works for u.@ least until it stops working..Even Jay-z said he had to “dumb down” his lyrics for people to get it.If jay had his way,he rap like common and talib kweli.As much as people are claiming to be tired of the rapping about cars,and money,they don’t support any other type of rap.If more people did not support the bling rap,the less people would stop making it..U think Kanye’s gonna start rappin bout guns to get the hood to like him ?? No,so why would 50 change his shit up ?

All i know is that come 9/11 im not buying anyone’s CD. Only CD i’ve bought was Common’s and Matisyahu.

Kanye and 50 can do without me. They already got the money. Kanye’s just more deserving of my time b/c he raps about things that appeal to my interest.

nas is right…hiphop is dead

50’s just having fun with this thing we call hiphop, and smiling at yall gettin mad at him, its supposed to be fun, fifty just having fun with it whether u believe him or not its just feel good music, relax peple its really not that serious u make urself look dumb

I was on the fence between the two but after hearing both albums (which i think a lot of people should do before they comment) It’s clear that Graduation has surpassed Curtis on a level of original creative content. 50’s rhymes are tight on Curtis but every track sounds either commercially indulgent or like recycled G-unit tracks. I will download Curtis but definately buy Graduation on September 11th because it is a classic.

hey it speaks for itself kanye is lyrical far better than 50…..50 talks trash

I’m going to go with KanYe West cause he’s just that dude…and 50 doesn’t matter anymore in life…Like what does 50 have to offer on this album, money, cars, girls, beef, bling, sex and drugs, shit like that…KanYe West has way more to offer…And his fan-base is crazy…So i think we know what’s gonna happen on Sept. 11…

I like this song hope the album is good. As for the competition between 50 and Kanye, if it is something I ( a female) would listen to then its good music to me regardless if they beefin or not who cares I LOVE MUSIC!!!

The only reason i will buy Kanye’s album is just so that fifty will retire. I cant stand the fake ass thug that he is. You say your a gangster but what fuckin gangsters live in the woods of Conn. Hated this fake motherfucker ever since his beef with game and by the way for all you nut suckin G Unit fans, Game destroyed Fiftty and his fake ass crew. 300 Bars on your ass. But the real question i want answered is when is Immortal Technique’s third album Middle Passage going to drop if ever.

WOW…keep ur dum opinions to ur stupid self nobody fucking cares and in my opinion 50s is gud but kanyes BETA and ive herd the both albulms already and plus 50s more club bangers kanyes the real shit and 50 nows dat and so do u

Pretty much if you want Club you go 50 if you want to listen to Good Hip-Hop songs that your kids might play long after your gone go Kanye its just being real and the people who hate on kanye are prob. the people who fed into the 50 cent media rush with get rich or die trying and may feel like damn I shouldn’t have done that but since im on the band wagon I might as well rep who im with I fell for it to and althought Ayo Technology is the best song I have heard from 50’s new album I dont think its going to be enough to handle songs like bittersweet, stronger, can’t tell me nothing, good life,or flashing lights the lyrics are tight and even tho Kanye still samples it works for him and thats his sound and what he is known for and I mean how many Hip-Hop artists who claim they are Hip-Hop drop an album and have John Mayer and T-Pain on it thats real Hip-Hop evolving Hip-Hop look at Timbaland for example has changed the sounds of two artists Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake how because he wanted to evolve and change it up so did Nelly and Justin and now they have sold more with Timbaland then they have and this is why Kanye will come out on top September 11th because Kanye can change and evolve……Hate it or love it!…..

So as far as hip-hop is concerned and as far as CHICAGO is concerned…we rep Kanye to the fullest (well at least Southside)! I think that everyone else should support him too especially over 50 cent who’s wack as hell. HE’s a goofy who slammed a dude who sang on songs yet he’s doing the same thing now…oh wow creativity (not!)! Kanye is original…classic. If he doesn’t sale as many albums as 50 I think the world and Kanye will be alright because come on now we all know who’s lyrically better. If Curtis is such a hot album then why did the label make him postpone his release date because all of his tracks were wack so he had to go back in the lab and crank out the street anthem I Get Money and go get album saviors like Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke to help him sale some records. So please people lets evaluate this logically and come to the understanding that like always Kanye is coming out with another timeless album!

Kanye all the way I really like his music I’ve had enough of 50 and his music he talks about the same ish to a different beat….

i like how angel tells us to keep our opinions to ourselves becoz no1 cares then proceeds to give her opinion, well guess wat, noone cares… lol

FLASHING LIGHTS SOUNDS SO DANM GOOD

#5….

1 THING: GET OFF 50′S NUTS.

WOW IT REALLY IS JUST STRAIGHT HATERATION ON 50 FROM LIKE 80-90% OF THE COMMENTS HERE…

I CAN SAY THAT I HEARD THE WHOLE KANYE WEST ALBUM AND IT WAS NOT ALL THAT…I EXPECTED SO MUCH MORE PRODUCTION WISE. NOTHIN POPPED THAT MADE ME PAY ATTENTION, BUT THAT WAS JUST THE ONE TIME LISTEN THROUGH SO I’LL CHECK AGAIN.

AND AT ONE POINT I THINK I MAY HAVE HATED ON 50 MUSICALLY W/ NO FOUNDATION BUT I’LL GIVE HIM CRED FOR, I GET MONEY & AYO TECHNOLOGY. QUALITY FLOW BANGIN PRODUCTION.

I listened to both and they’re both worth checking out. Some people choose either Kanye or 50 depending on their in the media personality which makes no sense bcuz most likely you don’t know them personally and you either like their music or you don’t. None of them has given the public any real personal insight to their character to receive so much hate on either end. Anyway, go and buy which ever one you like or both. Just support the artist in the end.

He gave props to you guys on 106&park!!! this evening!!! You guys deserve it!!! Much better than Media”Stank”Out!!! with their wack shit!!

Everytime I get on here I say Im not gon entertain u idiots but “everyone is intitled to their own opinion”. Half of u guys be hatin. ridin d’s that ya’ll cant ever get close 2! GIVE IT A REST! Just go support some damn body, for a change! Why was there not a debate when Talib Kweli dropped his classic???

I’m his album right now!!!

HONEY U SUCK!
SINCE U SUCK SOOO MUCH CUM SUCK DAT BIRDS DICK BITCH!
YA MAN!!!!!
