Today’s the day that a lot of you have been waiting for! But the ballots aren’t in yet. We won’t know the official outcome until Billboard drops the final numbers next week! From the Rolling Stone cover, to the face-off at this year’s VMA’s, they sure are making it out to be this year’s rap spectacle (although Kanye “hasn’t been participating in the beef”). The fire for the fans has definitely been fueled: both artist have huge followings and have a lot of respect. I’m sure there are some who are torn between which album to cop. But if you’re internet savvy, and you’ve been in the loop with new music, you’ve heard both albums, and you’ve made your choice about which one tops the other. Hey, you might even get both…
Kanye West feat. T-Pain – Good Life
50 Cent – I Get Money
Already with huge singles under their belts, they’ve made the most noise from the hip hop community than I’ve heard in a long time. So, make sure you cast your vote this week by either hitting up your local record store and purchasing whomever you feel deems worthy of the final highest sales, or purchasing the albums on iTunes. Also, be sure to look out next week to see whose numbers topped whose. Let’s hope nobody has to eat their words!
well we just have to wait and see this should be interesting!!!
getting ye’s!!!! If you watch NFL they were playing his songs going to the commercial breaks last night WHOOO HOOOO
I love that song !! “good life” whew .. The beat is hott !!
YE FOR SHO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I decided not to get either, hell I’m broke, and these rich muthf***as aint worth my $11.99
GOTTA COP KANYE’S. IT’S FIRE.
THE WAY KANYE WEST FLIPPED THAT MICHAEL JACKSON’S “P.Y.T” SONG BY SLOWING IT DOWN LIKE THAT IS JUST CRAZZZZZYYYYYY!!!
KAYNE ALBUM IS A GREAT ALBUM!!!!! HANDS DOWN!!!!
KANYE ALL DAY!!!!!
So on 9-11 we’ve got two over-inflated Negros with huge egos, a Negro from Fla who got his ass whooped and a female rapper that’s desperate to make a comeback. Oh yea. Today is the also day that all Americans got a huge wake-up call, many lives were lost inexplicably and unnecessarily and the US was changed forever. I think I’m gonna have a moment of silence for 50, ‘Ye Trick, Pep and the rest.
I’ll get kanye’s (he’s the only artist I buy out the store).
I bought Kanye’s album just a little while ago. Very proud of Mr. West. He is talking about some real stuff and Fiddy is over there with his grown behind still talking about “girls and cars”.
I am buying Ye cd first 50 later. I Get Money is my fave song right now
I bought 50′s Curtis, am very pleased with it.
Follow My leeeeeaaaaddd fo sure fo sure,
baby i knowwwwwww
money aint everythinnnnnnng
It stays on repeat lol.
but the most important thing is remembering 9/11, 2001
never forget.
Damn That graphic is niiiice!! Angel is talented with those things and I always love Brian’s music reviews.
I got both albums at Best Buy. The lady at the counter said more people were getting 50 Cent though. So this is going to be interesting.
I’m more of a Kanye West fan than 50′s. Because I can listen to Kanye’s album straight through and skip through 50′s. I think Kanye is more creative with his music, he does his beats and also does most if not all of his writing. I must admit that the hype from all of this is making me wanna go and by Kanye’s CD just so I can be part of the game. It’s just like rooting for your favorite football team. GO REDSKINS! LOL
HOW ABOUT I AM BUYING NEITHER…..WHERE WAS ALL THE LOVE WHEN COMMON’S ALBUM DROPPED……..
WACK A** 50 CENT AND CRYBABY A** KANYE………
Ms. Mac we must acknowledge tragedy everyday not just on 9/11.
We need to acknowledge more the bombing of the Alabama church that killed 4 young girls, the murder of Dr. King, the murder of Emitt Till, the Rosewood tragedy….the list goes on and on. 9/11 is not the only “American” tragedy. We will not stop and spend the rest of the day mourning over it no more than the rest of the horrific tragedies that go ignored that I mentioned above.
Oh by the way, I am for Kanye all the way!!! Only lyricists will ever get my money. I will be at Best Buy copping Graduation after work.
“GOOD LIFE” AND “DRUNK AND HOT GIRLS” IS THE SHITTTTTTTTTTT
IM NOT TO SURE IF 50 SUITS ME BUT AYO TECHNOLOGY HAS GROWN ON ME
KANYE ALL THE WAY!!! NO MORE 50 CENTS. I HAVE UNGRADED!!
I love Kanye’s entire album, even “Drunk & Hot Girls..” When I first heard it I was like, WTF, but it grew on me.
50′s album, it is what it is. I like “Follow My Lead” and “Ayo Technology”, that’s about it.
im not gettin either album…ill wait to listen to one of my friends..lol!!!
but i hope kanye outsells 50 jus cus 50′s ego an outlook on the whole thing has been so cocky…so it would be funny to see kanye sell more an have 50 over there wit the STUCK face..GO KANYE!!
OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, shot out to the graphics on the site. OUTSTANDING!!!
I think both are nice however Kanye is doing his THIZEL. I’ll get both : )
You know what I think they are both some cocky m*thaf*ckas but I actually bought Kanye’s album. I can’t hate on Kanye or 50 they know how to make music and money.
“Good Life” is the bidness.. Ye and T-Pain together on that are a beast.
They are both gettin paid, regardless and I think that’s the bottom line here. Not buying either one. Hip Hop sucks!
I am hyped to see who comes out on top next week.
I think I might get both…
Kanye’s music is for a more grown,upscale, educated crowd and Fiddy is still catering to the white kids and wannabee thugs . That’s just the truth.
50 haters look away now:
this from Allhiphop.com
’50 CENT AND KANYE ARE SELLING ALREADY
You know all those presales and those pre-orders? They have already started the countdown to these two glorious albums! That’s right, 50 Cent is outselling Kanye West buy about 20,000 units in the preorders. The count is 339,079 for 50 and 319,212 for Kanye. I can honestly say I don’t know when they went on sale over there or anything. I know next week 50 Cent is headed straight to Europe to promote his album. This is bigger than when Meth & Red did “Month of the Man.”’
LOL, 50 has this one
Kanye all the way!! I am getting 2 copies this evening.
Even if 50 outsells Kanye it still does not mean he made good music, which Kanye does for sure. Let’s see who gets the Grammy nominations. That’s the real deal.
ts about the quality of the music for me, not the Soundscan numbers.
They both have songs that I like. I guess I held my standards high with get rich or die trying, and college dropout, and haven’t been feeling either as strong since then. Needless to say I agree @20 I’ll listen to a friends, lol. I just can’t wait for the numbers and see what the “loser” has to say the reason behind it was!
IMA PICK UP BOTH ALBUMS.
I SEE YALL KANYE STANS COME OUT IN DROVES ON THE LOOP, LOL.
I’LL ADMIT THIS MARKETING PLOY WAS SUCCESSFUL, I AM SO FAR FROM 50′S MUSIC BUT ALL THE HYPE MADE ME WANT TO CHECK OUT THE I GET MONEY TRACK & I GOTTA SAY IT IS A BANGER, ALSO FEELING THE SONG W/ J. TIMBERLAKE.*SHRUGS*
I have Ye’s album. It’s a must have. You can play it all the way through. Every beat is hot. Great production. Great lyrical content.
@ #30
2pac never won a Grammy in his career,
so i guess according to you he wasnt nothing
who cares? they are both wack a$$ attention whores!
This ish is irrelevant and a disgrace to the African American race.
HAS ANYONE FORGOTTEN THAT 9-11 HAPPENED ON THIS DATE? WE ARE STILL IN A WAR. LETS UNDERSTAND THOSE ISSUES AS WELL.
im going to buy kanye cd! 50 cd i going to get the bootleg
Whatever…I’m not with all the hype over this bullshyt…I don’t buy CD’s anyway…all these two r worth is a download…maybe…
OMG I have been waiting for today Loooooooooooooove me some Kanye and will be at Bestbuy this evening to cop it. He is the only cd I buy
And might I add I agree they played him at the VMA’s thats why it was wack he should of performed on the main stage the energy he was bringing in that suite was sick imagine if he was on stage.
Fully standing behind my man Kanye he rep’s Chicago to the fulliest Take this one for the home team Yezy
A disgrace to the AA race? You sound like a fool. Two young black entrepreneurial men who are making music, in a legal manner are a DISGRACE? You can’t be serious. Yes, it’s 9/11, no one has forgotten that, we’re also not going to walk around all day draped in black from head to toe bawling our eyes out either!
who gives a fuck
THANK YOU #7 Edal—
It’s almost like they tried to turn their little album releases into something phenomenal. September 11th? Have some respect. I cant stand the arrogance of these rappers…somebody need to call them out on this. I never buy anything they come out with.
I’m sorry that was #37…Edal!
I DON’T LIKE EITHER ONE OF THEM ENOUGH TO SPEND MY MONEY ON THEM-IF THEY ISH AINT PLAYIN ON THE RADIO THEN I WOULD NEVER HEAR IT
BUT PERSONALLY, KANYE’S CONTENT IN HIS SONGS IS USUALLY VERY CONTROVERSIAL AND POLITICAL-I DO LIKE THAT ABOUT HIM THAT HE ADRESSES REAL ISSUES AND ISN’T AFRAID TO CHALLENGE POLITICAL LEADERS
50 STAY TALKING THE SAME NONSENSE MONEY,B*TCHES, CARS
OOPS WRONG ORDER, MONEY, CARS, B*TCHES-THAT GETS PLAYED AFTER AWHILE-ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR 30
@ # 12…..you said the most important thing of all..lets remember 9/11/2001….God Bless
@#35, Pac probably would have won if he lived longer. Matter of fact, I am positive that he would have. Plus how in the hell can you compare the lyrical content of Pac with that idiot 50??!!! He would not even exist even Pac was still alive.
At the end of the day, lyric content and quality is the difference between Kanye and 50.
@#33 , I am a stan to no man but Jesus. I do however stan for good music and not trash lyrics with mediocre beats.
YES, 9/11 WAS TERRIBLE, WE SHOW REMEMBER 9/11 EVERY DAMN DAY JUST LIKE WE SHOULD REMEMBER THE DEATHS OF MLK AND MALCOLM X EVERYDAY!
BUT………
AAs SHOULD NOT BE MOURNING 9/11 LIKE ITS THE ONLY NATIONAL TRAGEDY. ALL OF THE ATROCITIES THAT HAPPENED TO US AND CONTINUE TO HAPPEN ARE IGNORED THEN WHEN YT WANTS TO PLAY “FELLOW AMERICAN” WITH US DURING A CRISIS, WE ARE EXPECTED TO STAND AROUND HOLD HANDS WITH THEM.

LMFAO sit down bitch. Yo name JAYBOY, let me guess–you r Miss Jay Alexander u little closet bitch. U of all people shouldn’t call no-one gay or a faggot lil pussy!
Anyway, I’m done with this tired ass beef. These two women need to keep they earrings on and leave the vaseline off they faces.
Fiddy all the way.. !!! its Awsome
KANYE ALL THE WAY!
On lunch in Duluth Ga went over to Target a ton of Kanye still on the shelf. A bunch of 50 gone! The man at the counter said everyone has purchased the 50 album.
If anyone knows about GA Duluth is not an urban type of area. I would of thought
Kanye would of sold out up here. In my opion but albums are ok. Kanye talks about himself and only himself throughout the album. 50 has some calbo’s but all they do is sing the hooks. The joint with Mary he could of used her better
both album sucked to me maybe im on sum dirty south stuff but both albums where garbage twista will be hotter than both of them and b4 u all hate i live in tenakey born and raised in chicago
GO 50!!!
thank you #16. took the words straight outta my mouth.
with that said I’m DEF getting Graduation, I’m so amped for this album it’s rediculous.
@ NUNU….
Nunu, you are Coo-koo.
I am not supporting either of da 2 because them mofos is rich and i am in da hood
living from check to check, but I hope/know fiddy outsells that crybaby a$$ Kanye by
a long shot! I can deal with fiddy way more than Kanye. My prayers and sorrows go
out to all the families that has lost a loved one on 9-11!
My friends cant even find 50 on the shelf at Target in Charlotte, NC.
Kanye is still there. Cashier says that young and old was buying 50.
