The Kanye vs 50 Cent thing was genius. I remember a dude I knew coming up to me on the street asking "Who won? 50 or Kanye?" like it was a presidential race or something.
+KLAY the Cartoonist Honestly they both won but Kanye went number 1 because not everyone can relate to 50's gangster rap but still two great albums I bought both the same day lol
There was already personal shit involved...Specially with a paranoid Tupac. I will though agree with you that media just exploited that east/west BS when it was only Tupac (bailed from Suge's Death Row) going at Bad Boy...Shit was already crazy in the Source Awards 95, even to the point disrespecting OutKast/Goodie Mob cause they were from the South.
I love how they can just smile at each other and laugh it off after giving each other the death stare. Some thing about that moment is very human. It should be like that all the time before we hit the go to war button.
people dont realize that both albums went platinum the fans are the real winners 2007-2008 had the best music we had flashing last, i get money,champion,amusmement park man i got so many memories from there css
I love Kanye alot more than 50, but I respect 50 alot more. He kept his shit street, ive heard his mixtapes recently his new ones like The Big 10, that shit was hella slept on, that was easily the best mixtape of the year. Its funny how 50 says kanye is a good producer and not rapper, and how he wanted some feedback for his own project, the tension they have is hilarious and Kanye is scared of 50 lmao
50cent is actually cool asf proving he f** with anyone who is true to themselves & don't have to be gangster or street for him to just do business or be cool with him
Even though I dont listen to them as much as i used to (especially 50), i DO respect them. Kanye always had more of my preference of Hip Hop, 50 still had plenty of good songs mixed into his albums. But for years I didn't listen to either only cause any artist gets repetitive if you listen WAY too much...BUT...Kanye's new album "Twisted Fantasy" is amazing so far, and i've only heard like 4 songs from it.
Now THIS is how Drake should've settled his beef/competition with Kendrick Lamar for Control. What Kanye & 50 were doing here back in 2007 was the same thing Kendrick was doin last year....trynna bring back that fire/friendly competition in hip hop again. If they settled like this, would've been dope. The thrown is ALWAYS for the taking!!!! in hip hop and in life in general.
Summer 2007 was a fun year. Music was on 🔥. So many good artist out during this time. By the way I bought “The Graduation”. I’m sorry Fif, you’re still a legend for sure though.
50 lost because of several reasons. He toured internationally more than in the US which hurt domestic sales. Interscope didn't promote the album as much as they should've and it got leaked prematurely. Ye was the underdog, so a lot of people wanted him to win and switched sides. If everything would've went right for Fif I think he would've done a million first week.
50 and Kanye are very different styles and can never be compared both are good sales performers in all their cds are demonstrated well above others who talk and talk and do not sell shit.
Richard Löwenherz yea you a nerd fucken taco bender your name sounds like you come from a elder scrolls game bitch boii and that's why yo mama trade you for a rock goofy ass nigga
It's all about your taste. 50 is a gangsta rapper and Kanye is just hip hop. Both are great rappers and both are successful and famous. That's all there is to it. They look like they good friends as well. Respect for both, man.
That isn't entirely true..i think it's a pretty good comparison. These are two sophomore albums of two artists who were hugely popular in 2007..kanye maybe a little more...but nevertheless. 50 cent decline started in 2009
+Ched Beckford Gangster Music vs Slighty poppy rap centering around topics that are more relatable its not suprising still two really good albums though
You are High ?? GRODT sells 15 Million worldwide and the Massacre 9 or 10 Million go Google 50Cent hahahah Curtis 3 Million Before i self destruct 1 Million Beg for Mercy first G-Unit Album 4 Millione GRODT(Soundtrack) 2.5 Million Guess whos back from 2002 500.000 Worldwide , TOS G-Unit Album from 2008 295.000 in USA, Animal Ambition USA 124.000
Kanye is a legend, even if he catches all this hate constantly. Kanye made the best album of the decade (MBDTF) and has 21 grammys and is projected to earn the most of all time. I respect 50 though.
+Kosta Nasiovas but kanye has longevity, 50 barely breaking 100k, people still hyped for the next kanye projects. Kanye discovered talent, hes become a business man but didnt abandon the art. and MBDTF is regarded as one of the best albums of all time not just hip hop.
If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
At that moment 50 was bigger star and bigger name more popular famous worldwide so how kanye killed 50's career when 50 was more more famous than kanye? lol
Super Mario radio station? Im a man was a remix and sold 500k lol if i ask my grandmother whos 50 she will know him. If i ask nonames like kanye or drake she will ask me if im right in my head to ask her about such nonames 50 eminem and gay z are the most knowing rappers worldwide after that its Pac
2Keen To give a what 50 cents is nice at story telling. Kanye has bars and lyricism. Now add that fact that kanye producing his own music. What doesn't fifty have talent wise? A book a movie? Anyone can make that.
Idk, maybe you're right, i don't really care. All I know is, I enjoy 808s and Heartbreak still to this day. It's not his best album, but it's great sonically, and entertaining throughout. Heartless, Paranoid, Robocop, Amazing, Love Lockdown, Coldest Winter are all too memorable to me
never saw this at the time of the battle, knew they were cool though. Was a decent battle at the time, Kanye's in another league now though. 50 Cent article coming soon to our website blog..
I find it insulting that they would even compare Kanye West to 50 Cent because 50 Cent is an overrated rapper that built his success over beefing with one person and once that beef died down the guy faded away. Kanye west needed none of that shit to make it to the top, it was just pure talent…
This video just goes to show how much these artists play their fans, just look at the way kanye talks about his writing development and the "normal people" lol, and 50 generating beefs to hustle a dollar
@TheKidToddi And in the same manner I will also say, with all due respect, I don't think you fully comprehend my previous comment. All those albums you listed of 50 Cent revolves around gangster rap--the mentality never change. If your ears are in tune with said type of music, then by all means, buy his albums or drink his water. 50 is richer but Kanye literally composed his music; from wordplay and rhymes to melody and beats. That's something 50 doesn't do but I truly admire of Kanye.
Fifty respected Ye, but he hated Jay. Fifty lost mostly because Interscope sabotaged Curtis unfortunately, Curtis could've sold at least 900,000 first week if not more. Had some great hits, I Get Money was everywhere at that time.
The Kanye vs 50 Cent thing was genius.

nah. Kanye destroyed 50 in this one
@@brandon6135 Not really, 50 outsold him worldwide by a mile.
@@lukecowen3907 I doubt that considering graduation has sold 2.7 mill in the U.S. alone and Curtis has sold 3 mill worldwide.

U must be a 50 fan
When Kanye won this album release head to head, hip hop shifted. Street rap will never be what it was
Real shit hip hop went bubblegum
What hat happen to street rap?
Yet trap is number1
Look at Griselda now
When 50 did his Vitamin water deal i knew i didn't have my money right . classic!!
I'm going to need a 50 and Ye collab.
Nick Richardson *_*TOO_*
Never gonna happen cuz 50 is petty af and salty af that kanye beat him lol
@@brandon6135 no he’s not in his book he explained it’s all love they both won
@@m4tt968 Idc what 50 says he's salty about Kanye beating him lol i could tell by his interviews after it happened.
Soulful ye production + 50's dope vocals = fire
Both still very relevant to this day. Absolute legends
50 fell off musically and Ye anti semertjc
@Caught-wm6dw tell that to his world tour
If only the media did B.I.G and Tupac like this. Instead they just put them against each other.
There was already personal shit involved...Specially with a paranoid Tupac. I will though agree with you that media just exploited that east/west BS when it was only Tupac (bailed from Suge's Death Row) going at Bad Boy...Shit was already crazy in the Source Awards 95, even to the point disrespecting OutKast/Goodie Mob cause they were from the South.
This was so cool . When I was younger I thought this was real beef 😂😂😂
You must be young
worrrd
+Roman T I'm old enough
This is probably the lightest "beef" 50 has ever had.
I love how they can just smile at each other and laugh it off after giving each other the death stare. Some thing about that moment is very human. It should be like that all the time before we hit the go to war button.
It's amazing to see these guys smile at each other... Magical
They really need to get in the studio together. 50 would get Kanye off that bull-shit and Kanye would make 50 get back in the game.
Kobey Valentine O
Best comment I've seen in years about these 2. Your right
50 once rapped over a Kanye beat at least back in 02, song is called Guess Who's Back

Straight from the go Kanye? Chop up the soul Kanye?

Me too
There's no old Kanye
^
50 was like
You could sell more records than me... but..
You still can't beat me up
Kanye could also beat 50 in a battle of rhymes
David Reyes 50 sold more to this day basically overall on that album Curtis
@@matthewmann8969 the 50 of today,mayybeee,the 50 that brought get rich or die tryin,hell no Kanye can't touch him.
If Kanye and 50 and make song together the world would end cuz it would be crazy
These two along with Missy Elliot seems to have the best smiles in Hip hop.
Kanye Won
They both won.. Fifty doing his thing on power etc.. Ye got shoes etc...
terrance garner 50 won 2020
Eduard Butnaru 50 won 2020? I’m sorry Kanye net worth is now 3.5 Billion dollars and he’s averaging over 1Billion a year
@Myneica Smith He won in the US 🇺🇸 not worldwide.
@Myneica Smith so false
My 2 fav. rappers together. It doesn't get better!
I don't understand why they don't have a hit track together.. I really don't. My 2 favorite rappers.
1:40 is still funny 😂, after years and years later
😂😂
I love Kanye alot more than 50, but I respect 50 alot more. He kept his shit street, ive heard his mixtapes recently his new ones like The Big 10, that shit was hella slept on, that was easily the best mixtape of the year. Its funny how 50 says kanye is a good producer and not rapper, and how he wanted some feedback for his own project, the tension they have is hilarious and Kanye is scared of 50 lmao
that's why he's totally irrelevant nowadays
U know that nigga been 100 millionaire for almost 20 yrs right.. ya a real street nigga
I am and always be a 50 fan he was huge when I was young it was em then holy shhhhh 50s sick!!!!!!
Tryin' to play it off like its some kinda competition... yet Stronger plays throughout the whole video ahahaha!
skinny jeans and drake was soon to follow, thank u yeezy
😂
kanye's laugh on 1:40 is so cute!!!
50: "kanye.. he's a good producer"
Look at Kanye's face... Lol.
Everyone needs this collab to happen
Now 14 years later, it’s Kanye vs. Drake 💥
50cent is actually cool asf proving he f** with anyone who is true to themselves & don't have to be gangster or street for him to just do business or be cool with him

it was edad around this time
this was classic to watch
Back when Kanye didn't get lost in his own mind when he would talk
I think, it's because 50 cent is there.
Dude doesn’t get lost in his mind, he just speaks his mind and doesn’t care what anyone thinks about it.
The switch after his mom passed away. So sad

50 took a huge L. Kanye single handedly knocking him out of music relevancy.
50 took the L by changing the album name to Curtis because of Camron. Album was suppose to be called I can't stay away
50 lost because of several reasons. He toured internationally more than in the US which hurt domestic sales. Interscope didn't promote the album as much as they should've and it got leaked prematurely. Ye was the underdog, so a lot of people wanted him to win and switched sides.

2. ‘Curtis,’ 50 Cent (692,000 in 1st week)
1:37 Kanye's ice grill is so unnatural and soft. Even with them joking 50 still looks like he's scaring the shit outta him. LMFAO
He's trying not to break you moron lmao
You're just making this up in your own crazy head. I fake grill my friends all the time and we laugh because its funny.
I Bought both Albums that Day..That was a Exciting Day for Hip Hop.
This was the beginning of the end of 50, that being said this would’ve been difficult for Kanye to win in the early 2000s

Kanye's verses in Gorgeous came right from his opening statement.
Fifty respected Ye, but he hated Jay. Fifty lost mostly because Interscope sabotaged Curtis unfortunately, Curtis could've sold at least 900,000 first week if not more. Had some great hits, I Get Money was everywhere at that time.
Sales aren't the most reflective aspect. It had a big impact on culture. And Late Reg. I can agree with, it might be tied with MBDTF for me though.
