Tonight in Seattle:  

Kanye and 50 Cent fight to the death

Mark your calendars. This September brings a grudge match between Kanye West and 50 Cent - both rappers have new albums being released on September 11 and they've made it into a competition. Kanye and 50 Cent had a "presidential" style debate on BET and now 50 Cent says he'll stop releasing solo records if he loses to Kanye. Now this is high stakes action on the charts! We just need Jay-Z to suddenly release an album on the same day to make him the Michael Bloomberg of hip-hop.

{Thanks to TMZ for this news bit.}

I don't know the first thing about hip-hop, and don't have any clue if 50 or Kanye is better. Nor do I care. But the option of putting 50 out of biz makes me want to buy Kanye's album.

Kanye is definately my fav. I mean, just the fact that he made Mike Meyers wet himself!

Is that to say that Kanye West is really funny, or that Mike Myers has poor bladder control?
Kanye for the win!

Oh no, I'm referring to the time when he said "George Bush hates black people" and Mike Meyers was terrified standing next to him ahaha. And then the SNL skit that followed! Pure genious

Have we seen the last of Fitty?

Kanye West sold over 100,000 more copies of Graduation in its first day than 50 Cent's Curtis.

Remember, 50 Cent said he'd stop making music if Kanye sells more in this showdown. Dare I say 50 will turn to spoken word? Books on tape? Comedy?

Ooh -- I sure hope he gets called on this, and hard!

That's awesome! I think I'll pick up Graduation later this week to help the cause.

Now this seems like an AP writer trying to be very sensational, but this article implies that the lower sales of Kanye's and Fifty's new discs are a sign of hip-hop potentially going the way of disco.
