rappers are so funny.
And by funny I mean stupid. - harumph, on 10/10/2007, -25/+488i am suddenly struck by the urge to purchase a kanye west record.
kanye will always have clout in my book after his sober look into the camera and deadpan declaration that "george bush doesn't care about black people". - MiltonWaddams, on 10/10/2007, -2/+181If he is behind midweek, can't he just buy a million copies himself?
- lazyink, on 10/10/2007, -15/+151we can stop fiddy cent !! buy the album NOW !!
- HotGore, on 10/10/2007, -6/+129IT'S A TRAP! Clearly a marketing gimmick.
- nsjoker, on 10/10/2007, -9/+119Please Kanye, outsell him.
- dirtyfratboy, on 10/10/2007, -9/+113http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbM9EP2G0LM
Okay. That's spam in music form. This needs to be stopped now. Buy Kanye. - soda0289, on 10/10/2007, -2/+95I'll buy two copies!
- Roger, on 10/10/2007, -12/+100"I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music..."
lol, that makes no sense. - Gryffydd, on 10/10/2007, -17/+97This is hard for me....I hate them both. I really can't decide which one is a bigger self-centered prick.
- thugbear2005, on 10/10/2007, -4/+74but 50 sucks! all he raps about is his money and his bitches
- drafhk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+68Douchebag. He can't, he's under contract for another solo album. Publicity stunts/bluffing ftw.
- Gerbil_Juice, on 10/10/2007, -18/+77Too bad it's not possible for both of them to lose.
- addiggt, 14 hr 52 min ago, -22/+80What a pompous ass...then again so is Kanye West, so I don't know who I hate more. KW does make some pretty good music though, I'll give him that.
- WilD9, on 10/10/2007, -12/+61He should've been shot 10 times
- lukehh, on 10/10/2007, -7/+56Never thought I'd buy a Kanye CD....
- djphatjive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+48That makes me want to buy a Kanye West CD. And I don't even like him.
- quomen, on 10/10/2007, -27/+70I don't care how many of you hate Kane, but i'd buy one of his cds over 50 Cent's any day. He is a superior producer.
But then again.. who on digg gives a *****? NINE INCH NAILS BABY!! EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE BURIED. - solonGFX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41Don't forget the game...
monopoly or something. - felman87, on 10/10/2007, -10/+50Is there a way to get rid of both of them?
- Chocolatefatkid, on 10/10/2007, -5/+43Wow, he should've done this deal a LONG time ago.
- insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -9/+47Sweet one less stupid rapper out there. Oh, no need to buy albums, 50 cent sucks and will naturally lose.
- MikeXpop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35Buying Kanye's CD isn't going to do anything. The numbers (from the first day, per the article) will be based purely on how many albums the label decides to ship out to stores. Ever hear of an album that "shipped platinum"? Keep in mind both albums are from labels owned by Universal; this is purely a marketing ploy to raise album numbers for both artists.
- nigh7dagger, on 10/10/2007, -7/+40If you had a bunch of money and bitches, you'd be proud of them, too.
- SenorCardgage74, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37Yoooooure not really familar with Kanye's work...are you?
- Fordi, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35Hey, it looks like we can rid ourselves of one if everyone buys a Kayne West album on Sept 11th.
Shame I won't be shopping that day. - iidestined, on 10/10/2007, -0/+32jay-z said he was going to retire for good... until his next album
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33sell all your earthly belongings and cash them in for Kanye West Albums. It'll make Jesus Happy.
- Ignitedude, on 10/10/2007, -4/+31Surely this is just enticing the majority of society to purchase Kayne's latest album? I mean what intelligent individual wants 50 Cent to continue making any more albums?
- TheADOGuy, on 10/10/2007, -7/+34Everyone stop Bittorrenting Kanye's albums and buy one for real!
- Ukonu, on 10/10/2007, -4/+30So you're saying Kanye West is part of the problem? His first single was about surviving a car crash and overcoming obstacles. His second single, All Falls Down, was about the problems with materialism. His biggest single was about his love for Jesus. He's even had a single about blood diamonds from Sierra Leone. Sometimes you hip-hop haters make your generalizations/stereotypes way to easy to attack. You very rarely know anything about what you're criticizing except for some clip you heard on the radio or video on MTV (which mostly plays the worst music of ALL genres). And then people like me wonder how far your stereotyping extends into other facets of life...
- keyboardduder, on 10/10/2007, -10/+36Wait, quit "WRITING MUSIC?" rappers don't do that. Many of them aren't even poetic. Rhyming is not poetry. Poetry is art with meaning, not ***** bitches and bustin' caps and *****. I hope all of the new-pop-culture icons are stuck inside the MTV building and the building collapses. I hope al the kids in the audience realize that its nothing more than record company conspiracies and clothing developers selling them this music.
- AZskylineGTR, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28So buy kanye's CD September 11th just go get rid of 50 cent, then return it September 12th...
- digichris, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24Yes, he can. I think this is a marketing ploy. The article even says they just worked together not to long ago. Alot of "beef" in the hip hop industry just boosts record sales.
- arsheroica, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24I know, when has 50 cent ever written music?
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24Fiddy Cent represents everything that sucks in music. I hope he gets his comeuppance from the very things he promotes, one day.
- Jambi, on 10/10/2007, -4/+25Because the majority of popular rap is a bunch of misogynistic ***** rapping about their money. While this is only a subset of rap, the rest doesn't get much exposure, so many Diggers think this is what rap is, hence why there are so many rap haters on Digg. After all, who could like 50 Cent? I mean, come on....
- AwesomeMonster, on 10/10/2007, -5/+26Congrats Hoovcluck, you've just made quite the generalization. Next time actually pay attention to what you are criticizing.
- MadEnvoy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+25I would have given KW a bit of respect if he would have said "George Bush doesn't care about people".
- TnTBass, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Can't they just shoot each other like back in the good ol' days of rap?
- s1ade, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22I sincerely hope he does disappear. He is responsible (like many other famous rap "idols") for glamorizing violence and gang culture as being cool.
- MeMongo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22isn't that what all rappers talk about? That's what all the videos have in them anyway
- daridave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Indeed, nice for him to give me the heads up.
Lemme go buy a thousand Kanye CD's... just in case. - netnifty, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20In the face.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18That's how Dianetics stays on the best-seller lists.
- loganhuddleston, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21wrong rapper.
- Magillicutti, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21I know right. They're both pompous asses. My bet is the arrogant one sells more.
Oh, wait.. - TrevorBelmont, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Well, Kanye is gonna keep making albums even if he doesn't out sell Fi'ty, so I'm a Kanye booster!
- mr1337, on 10/10/2007, -11/+27Quick! Everyone make plans to buy Kanye albums on 9/11!
- prosemite2isgay, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16he lied about being shot 9 times it was really 3 the hospital he went to proved it
