Everything I Am is phenomenal and IMO the best. I also dig Barry Bonds but that's cause I'm a Lil Wayne fanboy. Good Morning is also a fantastic intro-to-the-CD song.

I'd agree with "Everything I Am" as being the best track.

Drunk n hot girls is great, people jus aren't expecting it.

Agreed

FWIW, 50's album is much better than Kanye's

Can't stand the guy. Wouldn't even waste my time downloading it.

Thats your prerogative. I like both artists and FWIW, I think that overall, 50's album is much better.

Does anybody else hate the fact that he writes it as "50" but pronounces it "Fiddy"? What kind of stupid-a** moron does that? Seriously. Has anybody ever said to him "look, you can call yourself 'Fiddy' if you want, but that number is pronounced FIFty. Quit trying to make kids more stupid, and just call yourself either 'FIFty' or call yourself 'FIDDy' and quit using the numbers you stupid idiot"? Just that little thing is enough to keep me from EVER listening to anything he does. Idiot.

You mean people of other color don't understand the language and proper pronunciation? That's weird.

Ah yes, proper pronunciation. The key to great music.

No no no....it's "lock the catbox"...lol

"Stomp the catbox"

LOL!! Is that supposed to be in green?

Dumbest commercial ever. Like I said in another post, there is NO WAY for those guys to have downloaded the song to their phone without knowing what is being said. IT'S THE TITLE OF THE SONG!!!

 

As for proper pronunciation being key to popular music and good music, no it is not. BUT when you are saying "50" is pronounced "Fiddy", you instantly get the "idiot" card, IMO.

or CCR singing about a bathroom on the right...

Or, why Jimi Hendrix wanted to kiss this guy.

50's is good, but it doesn't sound complete to me. Kanye's does...also why I think Kanye's album is the better of the two.

He actually pronounces it himself in his songs as FIFTY, its the white people talking about the record that say fiddy

I think the 50 is just the better rapper and his beats are very good. Both are good albums, I think I just prefer 50's

A pretty solid review of Graduation:

Now this is laughable. Sorry man, but if you think 50 is the better rapper, then you don't know Hip-Hop music. And I'm not even gonna bother commenting on the beats.

I listened to the samples of 50's new CD on amazon.com, and with the exception of one song, it sounds like crap.

As alluded to earlier in the thread, Kanye's got a pretty solid lead going. I will be shocked if 50 lives up to his word, if this remains the case.

Really now? Thats pretty funny. Kanye made most of his traction as a producer, because frankly, his flow isnt as good as other rappers.

 

On top of that, 50's first album sold 3 times as much as Kanye's His second album, more than 3 times that of Kanye. Kanye is a good artist for people who shy away from the brashness of an artist like 50 cent, and is brilliant in his own way. But you will be very hard pressed to find people that are ACTUALLY immersed in the hip hop world to say that Kanye is the better rapper. He is def the better producer, but that tracks are better when someone like Jay-Z does the track.

You should check out some samples of some early Pink Floyd and see if that gives a good representation of the actual track
