50 Cent believes his new album will outsell Kanye West's upcoming disc, and he's betting his solo career on it. Both 50 Cent and West have albums due out Sept. 11. 50 Cent, who has sold better than West, has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his "Curtis" CD.
"Let's raise the stakes," the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums."
An e-mail sent to West's publicist wasn't immediately returned Friday.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson, has been publicly disparaging of West before. In 2005, he suggested the 29-year-old rapper's popularity was only possible because of 50's own success.
But they recently collaborated in the studio. Their work, though, isn't scheduled to appear on either new album.
50 Cent's last full-length solo album, "The Massacre," was the best-selling disc of 2005 and sold more than 1.14 million copies in its first week of release. The same year, West's "Late Registration" opened by selling more than 860,000 copies in its first week.

I'm not a big fan of either, but the baet to Kanye's new song Stronger is sick.

The beat in Kanye's song Stronger is just a sample from Daft Punk that is slowed down and has a simple beat added to it. It sucks.

I want to see 50 cent gone, but I won't buy Kanye West albums out of principle, because he is a dispicable racist, and I hate racists!
Cassius Clay, he was another scumbag racist too, hence why I still call him Cassius and not "Muhammed Ali", he only changed his name out of spite for white people, respect him as a decent boxer, hate him as person!

Tech N9ne what are you in 8th grade? j/k but I hope Kanye out sells because no more 50 is a great thing. However, does anyone really even belive this???
btw that was some pent up anger directed towards Muhamed Ali... came right out of left field. Did he punch your mom or something... or do you only hate black racists?

No, I hate all racists, and all racist organisations such as the Brotherhood of Islam, the KKK etc. He is just a very high profile racist of the past, Kanye is a high profile racist of the present.
