 50 Cent & Kanye West: Battle to BET
Kanye West and 50 Cent will appear on BET's "106 & Park" on Tuesday, just like candidates trying to sway voters on Election Day, when both their heavily anticipated albums hit the stores.
West and 50 Cent have hyped the albums as an epic battle of rap titans 50 Cent has said he'd retire if West's "Graduation" outsells his "Curtis" CD in their first week out.
BET is treating the Tuesday-evening event like a top heavyweight fight, even borrowing Stuart Scott from ESPN to deliver a statistical breakdown of the two rappers. Both are set to perform, but whether they will engage in a rap battle remains to be seen.
While the two have engaged in plenty of trash-talking in recent weeks, Stephen Hill, an executive vice president at BET, says this clash of hip-hop hotshots isn't about bad blood.
"I don't think it's a battle, I think it's a lot of fun. I think Kanye will tell you he moved his date to 50's date to draw this type of attention, to create this marketing opportunity," he said. "We're gonna have fun on Sept. 11, the only place they are going to be together."
Left out of the fun? Country star Kenny Chesney, whose new album is also being released on Tuesday. The country star has put both rappers on notice that he may emerge as the ultimate victor when the week's final tally is released. |

enphants says @ Tuesday - September 11,2007
Well, here it goes..........Kanye puts out a CD that outdoes both of his previous. 50 Cent puts out a CD that almost is as good as his first. Which is one better? Of course, it is Kanye West. The songs are more radio-friendly and most of the songs leave me wanting more when they are done. I do love some of the 50 Cent songs such as "Peep Show" feat. Eminem, the Mary J Blige song, and "Follow My Lead". Overall, he tries too hard to let everyone knows he is still a gangsta, instead of focusing on his success thus far and rolling with it. Kanye best tracks are "Champion", "Homecoming" and the single "Stronger". Kanye gets a 10 while 50 gets a 7 | | | | Reply | | |
