It's the battle of the rappers. According to NY Daily News, 50 Cent is betting his entire rap future that he'll beat Kanye West on Sept. 11--the day that both artists much anticipated albums are released. "Let's raise the stakes," said 50 Cent. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer [perform] music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums." Kanye West's last album "Late Registration," has sold 2.8 million to date but 50 Cent's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'?" has sold nearly 8 million. "They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem," 50 said, "because I've worked myself into a space where I've become the favorite. Everybody roots [for] the underdog when he goes against the favorite. "And I bet this: When Kanye West's sales come in, he's gonna have a 70% decrease cause Def Jam is gonna buy records [the first week] to keep him closer to 50 Cent. So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his a - drop off the planet." He added: "I didn't get one trophy for ‘The Massacre.' ... I don't get trophies, I get checks. He gets the trophies. ... And I'll be sitting here like, ‘It's cool 'cause I get the check.'?" Aren't they grown men?? I get the whole 'I'm competitive' thing but seriously this is so childish. So do you guys think 50 will outsell Kanye or will Kanye have the last laugh?
