September 11, 2007 marks the battle of the egos between none other than 50 Cent and Kanye West. There's no denying the selling power that these two have, but on September 11th, both artists are releasing highly-anticipated albums and their media appeal will be tested.
Of course, the bully of the business, 50 Cent refuses to back down from the release date. During an interview on Hot 97 he says in an almost patronizing tone that Kanye and his peeps are too smart to let him release 'Graduation' on September 11th. Meaning, Fiddy is feeling invincible in the battle of album sales.
50 Cent states, "I'm not moving. I'm coming September 11th. If Kanye comes that day, then he comes that day. That'd be great if he actually stays in that date. I think his people are smart. I think he's smart, too. And I think they'll move. But I'm coming September 11th. I'm not going to move... Jay's not gonna let that happen anyway. He's not gonna leave him there."
So who will prevail in this unpredictable battle?
YO, WHEN IT COMES TO 50 VS KANYE ON SEPT. 11, I GOTTA GIVE IT TO KANYE. I JUST THINK HE'S GONNA HAVE A HOTTER ALBUM THAN 50. EVERYTHING KANYE DOES IS CLASSIC. SO, WHEN IT COMES TO SEPT. 11, IF YA'LL WANT A CLASSIC ALBUM, BUY KANYE WEST'S GRADUATION.
