- sixthplanet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+170A debate? What ever happened to good old fashioned freestyle rap battles?
- theblueprint, on 10/10/2007, -2/+140To paraphrase Jadakiss:
If the debate isn't about getting shot, what does 50 have to talk about? - canewediggit, on 10/10/2007, -8/+121ron paul being censored again! how was he not invited? why won't they let him speak?!!!!!!
this has the potential to be the funniest 10 minutes of tv in the history of mankind. - MiltonWaddams, on 10/10/2007, -2/+98" "50, I served with Tupac Shakur. I knew Tupac Shakur. Tupac Shakur was a friend of mine. 50, you are no Tupac Shakur."
- lordtyros, on 10/10/2007, -1/+97Kanye and 50 have no freestyle ability.
- sfpfc, on 10/10/2007, -3/+63Kayne will be running on the George Bush doesn't like black people ticket

- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+55Someone better shoot someone or it will be a huge let down.
- Harbinger67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31You have to be able to rap in order to battle.
- scottauth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29Kanye actually declined this debate, stating "When I heard that thing about the debate, I thought that was the stupidest thing."
You can read about it here:

It's under the info about the album cover and track listing. - sinurgy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32Sadly this will probably get 10x the amount of attention that actual debates get.
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2950 cent's retarded.... he's going to need someone to think of his answers and another person to read them for him.
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -6/+29Haven't you heard of Masta 'Bate?
- JlmAWP, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20It already is hilarious:
"Just don't be asking me if I am a conscious rapper. I know exactly what I am saying - so I am conscious."
Flawless logic 50. FLAWLESS. - rstarr, on 10/19/2007, -8/+27Dr. King: This is it?! This is what I took all those ass whoppings for?! I had a dream once. It was a dream where little black boys and little black girls could drink from the river of prosperity, freed from the thirst of oppression.. But lo and behold, some four decades later, what have I found but a bunch of triflin', shiftless, good-for-nothing *****! And I know a lot of you don't want to hear me say that word. It's the ugliest word in the english language, but that's what I see now. *****. And you dont want to be a *****, because ***** are living contradictions. ***** are filled with unfulfilled ambitions. ***** wax and wane. ***** love to complain. ***** love to hear themselves talk but hate to explain! ***** love to be another man's judge and jury. ***** procrastinate until it's time to worry. ***** love to be late! ***** hate to hurry!
- Kaosu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20"Kanye and 50 have no rapping ability"
Fixed. - indraneel24, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19"Just don't be asking me if I am a conscious rapper. I know exactly what I am saying - so I am conscious.""
- 50 Cent at his finest - mishsquish, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Since they're entering a head-to-head who-will-sell-the-most battle.. I suggest all their fans download their music instead. Just for laughs.
- yossarianlives, on 10/10/2007, -8/+23They're afraid Immortal Technique will show up and pwn the ***** out of both of them
- geoken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15He's well versed in selling out.
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11his first album was released in 2001. if you were in 5th grade then, you are either only 16 years old now or really stupid. either way, i'm not about to take your advice on politics.
- ProvoloneNinja, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14Then a full 8 minutes of fecal tossing into the audience.
- jgasm, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14best comment ever!
- synaesthesia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Or paraphrased: "I think, therefore I am."
- reiner15, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9duh, vitamin water
- nofrak1, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Why stop there? Thow in Gravel and Perot! This could be the greatest thing ever to happen on earth. Or at least be amusing.
- Drazzard, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14"the day both artists' sophomore albums land in stores." ummm... both artists already have two albums out.
oh... and I thought you had to have two conflicting ideologies for a debate? maybe not... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9How to destroy Hip Hop even more.
- tyywebb, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11"George Bush doesn't care about black people!"
"Yeah he does man c'mon now!" - 0xbaadf00d, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8"I wanna meet George Bush, just shake his hand and tell him how much of me I see in him." --50 cent
- TroubleInMind, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Gawd I love Boondocks.
- cklol, on 10/10/2007, -6/+14If you ever cringed and listened through one of Kanye's songs, you'd find that some of the lyrics are witty and some are slyly political.
From All Falls Down
Man I promise, she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she's doing in college
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre
The concept of school seems so securrre
Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr
She like ***** it, I'll just stay down herre and do hair ...
I say ***** the police, thats how I treat em
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
We'll buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they make us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?" - 0crabby0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8There is a historical precedence to this type of debate
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr-Hamilton_duel - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1050 will counter with the 'no *****, Sherlock' argument.
- canewediggit, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9oh, ***** it.
cuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrttttttiiiiiiiiisssssssssssss!!!!! - bigstinky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Or at least mumble legibly.
- vafada, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10"......presidential style "debate" to decide who has the best album..."
their egos are BIG! - canewediggit, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7word
- TheStrangeBrew, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Finally. Something I can look forward to on CNN besides Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Oh wait.....
- yossarianlives, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Actually, no. After re-considering my position, Immortal Technique is more politically aware than 99% of the general public. So ***** you.
- sanman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4"Debate or Die!"
- Elektriq, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5holy ***** that's actually a real quote from GQ:
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1514482/20051123/50_cent.jhtml - digdugsmug, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I like how they first refer to their upcoming records as their sophomore albums and then go on to call The Massacre 50's Sophomore album. Proofread with a fine tooth comb!
- djtansey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4you must be really young... he hasn't been recording that that long. Personally, I think he's one of the best rappers out there (eyedea is no longer recording, but he was probably at the top until he stopped.) Poverty of Philosophy is a great narration. No Mercy is good. Dance with the Devil is good. You Never Know is one of his top. I think he is very politically aware. You might not agree with him, but his ideas are more thought out than most (not just rappers -- most people in general.) I might be a bit biased, though. I opened for him once and was able to hang out with him afterwards. Seemed like a very sharp dude.
Who do you listen to now? - SquigglyP, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Or just shooting each other? Rappers have gone soft.
- Akir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6"Superstar rappers Kanye West and 50 Cent will go head-to-head on September 11, the day both artists' sophomore albums land in stores."
Kanye's will be his third official album, and 50 Cent will be on his 3rd or 4th.
I stopped reading after that mistake right there. - deadhead05, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Or friendly gangsta shootouts.
- g30ph, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Don't forget to throw your hands in the air, and wave them like you just don't care.
