50 Cent vs. Kanye West: The Mixtape Showdown
Staff Writer, Mixtapekings.com
So now that the hoopla over the battle of the egos is over, we can sit back and simply enjoy the music. Quite honestly, the notion of ever comparing the two was always out of whack to me. They're two completely different artists, with a different sound and a different agenda. Fiddy wants to scare the shit out of you, menacing you with tech nines, while Kanye wants to make you envious as hell with his fly kicks and Ralph Lauren lined closet. Who would've thought that mixtapes co-starring these two would ever surface. Well, today's the day.
DJ D-Real is jumping on the 50 vs. Kanye battle-bandwagon and put together an extensive play list of the artists' hits (and misses), back to back. Some blend quite nicely...others, not at all.
DJ D-Real starts off Disc One with "Can't tell Me Nothing" and blends into "Supposed to Die" by Curtis, which works. D-Real lets the 'Yeezy beat rock for a bit under 50's vocals. The next two tracks, I'm not too sure of. D-Real tries to blend "Everything I Am" into "I'll Whip Yo Head." Starts off feeling good, but mid-way it becomes confusing and your tempted to just skip ahead into the song.
While I appreciate the mixtape, I wish there was a logical rundown of the songs. Having a song like "Heard Em Say" and then "Disco Inferno" doesn't make sense to me. Very jarring. It's like the highlight tracks of both 50 Cent and Kanye West were haphazardly thrown onto a CD.
But I won't be all negative because all in all this mixtape carries many classics from both men.
