Kanye West Beating 50 Cent In Battle Of The Sales

Kanye West and 50 Cent have been talking all kinds of smack to one another since they announced their battle of record sales. Both artists’ albums dropped yesterday, and the early numbers show Kanye in the lead. Sad how this contest might be more followed than an election.

This might be bad news for 50 Cent who at one point said that he would retire if Kanye sold more albums. Good thing he’s got that Vitamin Water contract.

What others are saying:

Best Week Ever says, “While our thoughts and prayers go out to 50 Cent as he struggles through this difficult time, we also hope that this chart-topping victory – no matter how insignificant it ultimately might be – finally cheers Kanye up from the bigotry and oppression heâ€™s suffered this week on account of MTV and their racist unwillingness to give him the meaningless moonman prize he so rightly deserves.”

celebitchy says, “Judging these guys on their personalities, I would root for 50 any day. In the interviews Iâ€™ve seen with him, he comes off as genuinely kind and humble. He just seems like a nice guy to me. Kanye, however, is the biggest crybaby sore loser in the music business, and publicly bitches over every minor perceived wrong.”

dlisted says, “Kanye is always a damn high horse. He was born that way. He was probably one of those whiny ass kids on the playground that bitched about everything. “
