C'mon Kanye... Please Win
I only have room in this brain of mine for two types of rap: Good rap and ATL rap.
Therefore, all I care about right now is Kayne and Common, Crankin That Soulja Boy and the Shop Boyz new single, "They Like Me". And maybe a little "Coffee Shop". BUT THAT'S IT.
In honor of Kanye, here's a leak.
A leak to show how great Graduation hopefully will be. The way I know it'll be good is if I don't like the album at the first listen, and fall in love the second listen (The way I reacted to both The College Dropout and Late Registration).

50 Knows how to stay in the damn news
Now if I wasn’t trying to be an upstanding black man, I would call 50 Cent certain derogatory names including a female canine and female genitalia, because he always has to do something trick-made to keep his name in the news for his album to sell. On the first album, he beefed with Ja Rule for attention; on his second album, he beefed with Jadakiss and Fat Joe for attention; now on his third album, he’s incited a beef with Kanye West.
So far, Kanye is the only smart human being who refuses to play into his little ‘please look at me’ game. To keep eyes on him, 50 now goes so far to say that if Kanye outsells him after their Sept. 11 release date, then he will stop making solo records (PLEASE WIN KANYE!!!!). I will be ashamed if people buy into what 50 Cent is doing right now, because it is overly clear that he is trying to play ‘puppet master’ on his fans (meaning YOU stupid) in order for you to support his latest turd sandwich.
I’ll tell you one thing though, it seems like his own staff is trying to sabotage his moves, because his single “Follow My Lead” already leaked to the internet in song and video form waaaaay before he wanted to release it. Now he’s throwing bit… excuse me, female dog tantrums at his own staff because he’s realizing that the only good move he might have left just got ruined. Tisk tisk tisk, you’re right Curtis; nobody wants to see you win anymore, and that’s because you suck.
P.S., if you can drop anything somewhat resembling Guess Who’s Back then I will recant all of my statements and call you master, but I know you won’t and can’t, so I win…

50 Cent is Scared of Kanye
It’s been well documented that 50 and Kanye are both dropping their respective albums Curtis and Graduation on the same day (Sept. 11 for all ‘living under a rock’ idiots). While “I Get Money” and “Ayo Technology” have been doing better than 50’s previous two atrocious singles “Amusement Park” and “Straight To The Bank” none of them still have a leg up (hello ladies) on Kanye’s “Stronger”.
Now think about it like this, Kanye has dropped two singles, the aforementioned “Stronger” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”, and has a bigger buzz then 50 does with FOUR SINGLES!!! 50 even went on to say that he’s probably going to drop two more singles, “Come And Go” featuring and produced by Dr. Dre, and “Follow My Lead” featuring Robin Thicke. Now my Tufts degree leads me to the calculation that this fool is dropping SIX SINGLES before his album even drops.
Common sense tells you (shout out to Common for grabbing the number one billboard spot) that if people were interested in your music right now, then you wouldn’t need to drop that many singles, but you can’t tell 50 that, because he’s in denial about his rapidly dropping interest. This is why he spends his time in interviews claiming that Kanye doesn’t have a chance and that they should move Kanye’s album date, all that just shows that he is scared that somebody is FINALLY going to shut him up and deflate his ego.
But knowing him, when he loses on Sept. 11, he’ll probably find another excuse to explain why his music sucks right now. Now mind you, I’m a 50 Cent fan, he just talks to damn much. When you’re that annoying, the minute you start dropping doo doo material, you become THAT much more annoying.
50, just make music and shut up!!

I Hate NY
You know what bothers me more than the fact that Silkk The Shocker had a career? All these little carpetbaggers that claim that they are bringing the East Coast or
Look, it’s really simple. New York is losing because everybody is trying to be number one and fight amongst yourselves (too many beefs to name), you guys hate the South then turn around and make similar sounding songs with similar sounding beats (anything by Fat Joe in the last 2 years), and on top of that, there’s like A MILLION OF YOU. Not only are there a million of you, but you all rap about the same thing: my block is hard, I got madd crack money, madd guns, madd female dogs and gardening tools (I’ll let you think about that one), I’ll kill you, etc, etc, etc. First off, we don’t believe you, you need more people (including Jay-Z, according to Calvin “Klein” Bacote), and your songs don’t generate ANY interest.
Even though I don’t like all the music coming out of the South (but Andre 3 Stacks is still the man), at least they have their own identity. Right now, I’m ashamed to be from
