50 Cent to Kanye West: "Push Your Album Back"
Yesterday, we were debating the possibility of a Curtis vs. Graduation face-off on 9/11. 50 Cent has added his voice to the debate. In case you had any doubts (I'm looking at you, Nero), 50 has made it clear that he's not ready to back down for Mr. West. In fact, he doesn't even consider Kanye a threat.
"It's coming out September 11th and I’m not pushing it back. I’m not moving under any circumstances," 50 told Hot 97 FM's Funkmaster Flex last night. When Flex reminded him that Kanye plans to release Graduation on that same day, the G-Unit General had this to say:
"I mean, I hope that they see and understand what’s getting ready to happen. I’m not moving. I’m coming September 11th. If Kanye come that day, then he come that day. I mean that’d be great if he actually stays in that date. I think his people are smart. I think he’s smart too. I think they’ll move, but I'm not moving…Jay’s not gonna let that happen anyway. He’s not gonna leave him there."
Do you think Kanye might be willing to make way for a 50 Cent massacre on September 11th?
Kanye: "I'm Not Moving from 9/11"
50 Cent will just have to share the spotlight with Kanye West on September 11, because the producer/MC is putting his foot down on that date as well. Kanye, who produced a track for 50 on Curtis, recently told MTV News that he's ready to go toe-to-toe with the G-Unit boss hogg.
"I'd rather come out on a day like that, up against 50—where people are excited about going to the stores and it's an event and people talk about it—and be #2 on that day rather than come out and be #1 on a day nobody cares about," West said.
He added that "it's about things going down in history. It's not that much exciting stuff in hip-hop right now. I think people are going to make it more than what I'm making it myself. At the end of the day, I'm making music and I'm trying to sell."
Big sales aside though, Ye's also optimistic he'll add to his Grammy collection this time. Put it this way: he's gunning for the gusto.
"This album, Graduation, I been listening to it. I like it a lot. I really believe I can take home that Album of the Year award at the Grammys. I've won my awards, but they've always been a category: 'hip-hop,' 'rap.' I wanna win Song of the Year, Album of the Year. I wanna deliver this album."
West has won six Grammy awards, including two Best Rap Album awards for College Dropout and Late Registration. He's hoping for a three-peat victory with Graduation. (Eminem is the only rapper to have won three consecutive gongs for Best Rap Album.) 50 Cent, on the other hand, has never won a Grammy award.
