Man…I ain’t copped an album in about 3 or 4 years. I promise you…I’m standing in front of the record store on 9/11. Graduation. Ye’ finally might win “Album of The Year” at the Grammys.
that track dedicated to jay sounds crazy but dat song “champion” is hot im trying to figure out is the person singing the hook sting from the police, bono from U2 or jus sum random sample….either way if kanye doesnt finally get the album of the year from the grammys them it might be a travesty
Beat wise those track are trash he can do a way more better job than that! The only kanye track that people are really feeling in the streets is “Can’t tell me nothing” and thats real rap!
Haven’t purchased an album since 04 but I might have to buy this one. I’m liking everything I’ve heard so far.
I remember when The Blueprint came out, Hot97 was playing damn near every track. This was also the case with Get Rich Or Die Tryin. I’ve got a feeling their going to do the same shit with Graduation. And this is when the word “Classic” will be thrown around. I will probably wholeheartedly agree.
Kanye acting like only Jay made him and now he forgetting about Dame?.
how you gonna dedicate a song to a man whose still alive yet no one even dedicates whole songs to Big and Pac, not even the man youre praising Jay?
Kanye just showed his best hand.
and whose thowing the word classic around??? when a couple of his songs already sound the same, whack flow and Barry Bonds aint even fit for a mixtape??
when 50 hits you with that ‘Officer Down’ youre gonna go bananas,
Kanye West all day…from the songs i heard thats on his album is crazy…hes taking it 2 another level..hes making real hip-hop…50 cent does the same thing over and over….i have a feeling kanye west cd is gonna be a classic so sept. 11th get that kanye west cd.
Everyone hating on the fact that he chose to make a song about Jay over Dame. Why hate? Just because Dame chained the dude got him his deal dont mean he was Kayne’s best bud or took care of the guy. Dame wrote checks it seems, hell i don’t get so close with every boss ive ever had either.
Even if by some strange chance Douche [50] sells a million or so more records than Kanye, Kanye will be the one winning all the awards while Douche sits home thinking about who’s he’s going to diss for his next album.
#32 you dont sound too intelligent.. 50 will be sittin home in his mansion thinkin about how much money he can send in aboutta hour.. and its 50’s content the reason why he dont get awards and shit.. #17 ..you dont sound too intelligent neither.. Jay-Z always did a BIG track or always say something about BIG ..and dont diss Kanye cause he biggin up a dude that took care of him.. he just showin his appreciation… but you’re probably one those dudes whos okay with the baby & lil wayne thing tho..!
kanye’s music is next level, 50 still doin same shyt- diss rappers, talk gun play, amusement park/candy shop/magic stick type song, blah blah, sept.11 KANYE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WILL DOWNLOAD BOTH OF THEM ALBUMS SEPT 11…..WORD…IM COPPIN BOTH OF THEM FOR FREE.99….FUCK BOTH THEM NIGGAS…THEY ALREADY RICH…..THEY NEED TO START SUPPORTING ME…..LOL
lol dawg we all know who is gonna come in at #1, u dont think even tho 50 has no buzz and has released half of his albums as singles that, that is gonna stop him. u dont think dude will buy 100,000 copies his damn self to outsell kanye? u dont think he will demand interscope to buy 100,000 copies themselves 4 leaking his singles in the first place?
as far as 50 is concerned his whole mystic is over, it was jus a facade. u cant diss ja rule then swagger jack him. u cant have beef w/ a rapper EVERYTIME u have an album dropping. 50 has basically done EVERY possible to create buzz 4 “curtis”. released 5 singles, dissed lil wayne, irv, and HIS BOSS LOLOL. who else is 50 gonna be able to diss when his next album drops, if he ever raps again?
album sales used to mean something to me but ppl download albums so fast theres almost no point in buying them anymore. u gotta make me wanna buy ur album now. when it comes to “curtis” all 5 of those singles arent doing it 4 me. plus 3 of his diss tracks arent doing anything as well. so as u kno, i wont be buying “curtis”, hell im still trying to give away my “massacre” cd if anybody wants it.
with kanye, as soon as i heard “can’t tell me nothing” i was sold, thas a hood anthem and when ur riding in ur whip and u got dat song on, it jus comes out hard. i didnt kno wut to think of “stronger” at first cuz it went over my head a few times. but u gotta give it the car test. when dat record comes on in ur car and u hear the strings, celo, piano, and drums come from all different directions w/ those lyrics its great to listen to.
now ive been to a 50 concert and a kanye concert. the 50 concert wasnt all dat great but this was back when he first came out so he was still a rookie when it came to performing. the concert was ehh, typical rap concert, jus him a hype man and the dj.
when i went to a kanye concert, it was jus on a different level, he had different colored sets. he had his dj but he had the most amazing live band w/ great back ground singers that made those songs on his album come to life. most rappers/rockers sound horrible live, only a few sound better live, and kanye is in that select few. i went to jay-z’s “reasonable doubt” concert and he even has taken kanye’s theme w/ live bands, almost all the rappers are doin dat now, and they wouldnt have if kanye didnt introduce it.
record sales almost mean nothing anymore if ppl like mims are having #1 albums. 10 years from now ppl arent gonna remember how many records u sold ppl are gonna remember how many CLASSIC SONGS U HAD. look at reasonable doubt/illmatic, both albums didnt sell when they first came out BUT are still remembered 10 years later as being damn near perfect albums.
the difference between kanye and 50 is, 50 is now a business man and since the “massacre” he has sucked musically. kanye isnt bout the business even tho he charges an arm and a leg 4 beats so financially kanye is in a space, most will never see. ergo he completely focuses on his music. thas y kanye always gets recognized by award shows.
50 cent says he doesnt get awards cuz he’s a gangsta rapper lolol. nigga u dont get awards cuz ur albums suxx. trust me a lotta artists have sold way more albums then u and have no grammys. if the award show doesnt like ur songs, theyre not gonna let u win. u cant say cuz u rap bout being a gangsta thas the reason why they never give u an award. nigga jay-z been rapping bout dat same shit 10 years earlier and he’s gotten awards in the process.
but since everybody want this to be a competition lets see how both record labels will do on 9/11.
interscope made millions of copies of the album, then got no buzz and had to destroy those copies to push the album back (lost millions). put out 2 vids w/ no buzz (lost money), put out 2 more vids w/ one having JT and timbo and still not gettin that buzz (JT + timbo + expensive vid = money down the drain). somebody there leaks the 5th single (lost millions) and thas jus bad. with this 50 cent project, interscope has lost money, all that 1st week money would have to go to interscope first to pay off dat debt jus to break even. the thing is, 50 will def buy the albums himself (so he’s losing his own money there). if interscope buys the albums also that jus adds on to the debt or if they jus say fuck 50 altogether they basically take an L and call it a day cuz they already lost a lotta dough w/ this project.
def jam has basically not promoted kanye at all. i mean 50 cent is all the promotion they need cuz 50 is always bringing up kanye in his interviews before the person interviewing him does. kanye has put out 2 vids, which is a loss of money but theyll get dat money back when the album drops. def jam hasnt really spent a dime on kanye, so they have no debt unlike interscope and will only make money on this day will interscope may either break even or jus take their loss of money and do suttin else. the funny position that kanye is in is his fans will buy his cd. also everyone that hates 50 will buy kanye (industry ppl, other record labels, regular ppl, rappers, bloggers, etc etc), so thas y its gonna be close on who comes in at #1. so either way, its a win/win 4 def jam regardless of where kanye comes in cuz the label hasnt lost any money promoting him while interscope has lost millions on 50’s project.
p.s. 50 until ur running a huge record label ur still jus a worker bee urself LOLOL. i guess u kno dat now since u said fuck jimmy iovine
OLA you have bee riding Kanye’s nuts since yesteryear,
so i didnt bother reading your composition.
If you have to write a whole composition to just explain why Kanye will sell more it only means you are trying to convince yourself Bitch.
OLA please dont run and hide in Sept, you and Mi Mi have been riding on the hairs of Kanye’s nut i think you might commit suicide if he loses. dont go doing nuthin stupid now
and who cares if 50 loses money on this project?? Vitamin water Bitch
some hot records frm kanye i cant even front im really feelin that big brother record even though the content is kind of corny he put it in a lyrical manner which makes it really presentable cause the fact he aint mention nuttin bout dame doesnt make any sense but then again it could be in his other verses in the record but the production is hot can’t even front but im still coppin curtis on sept 11th and im not even a kanye fan because most of his music he’s off content that i can’t rock wit but if his whole albums has songs on it like i just heard i will buy it but CURTIS Sept 11th
that big brother song is good but the other one is trash, im still buying 50’s album the 1st week then kanyes the second week just like i planned on doing,
and ola all of that you wrote was very unnecessary
NOT BAD CANT HATE BUT IM A STILL DOWNLOADING IT, HE AINT GETTING NONE OF MY MONEY, IM ALL BOUT SUPPORTING NYC, COPPING 50′S AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, DEAL WITH IT
you ppls definition of real hip hop is wack kanye aint real hip hop, hes just different and dont get it twisted i like kanye i downloaded both his albums (cuz i dont ever buy albums), but hes not real hip hop dude cant even rap the only thing he can do is sample well
Not the biggest Kanye or 50 fan but Kanye is already getting awards for songs/videos off the album (VMA’s) and the album isnt out until 9/11. Fuck who sells more .Kanye already won…and that champion track is fire
Tupac never got a grammy in his career, are you gonna tell me he was whack too???
And MTV vma’s are whack, how did Kanye get 5 nominations when he dont have an album out, yet artists like Luda, Jay, Nas, Lupe who had albums out last year with good videos never got nominated??
so who cares about awards, GRODT was never given a grammy, and from there 50 said fuck the Grammys coz he tells it like it is.
Kanye can take his grammys and shove them up his ass for his faggot enjoyment. awards clearly matter to him since he always cries if he dont get them.
1st of all for all the people asking about the where the dame songs at, listen to the track, we all know we idolized jayz, we looked up to jayz, we wanted to be like jayz. no one really looked up to dame, wanted to be like dame. he did sign kanye but that dont mean he’s his idle, he wanted to be rapper/producer/c.e.o.. nuff said
and for all the arguing 50 vs kanye blah blah blah, i’m a kanye fan, u cant argue wit a 50 fan and u cant change their point of view. 50 fans think in 1 lane, and i dont wanna insult ya’ll but ya’ll just aint bright enuff to feel kanye, he’s to broad for ya’ll. ya’ll probably luv snap music too. kanye fans cant ever get wit 50 cuz he’s to bland, not enuff perspective, not enuff topics,not enuff flows, not enuff creativity, very unsatisfying. thats just my opinion, hate it if u want
I dont hate 50 but damn it isnt even fare to compare the kanye material with 50 cent ,that would be ridiculous,i dont know who will sell more or shit may be 50 but damn kanye is better all day
Get A Red Bull And F’Off, How the hell can you type the word intelligent (Twice) in THAT post?!? LMAOOO You cant even tell the difference between ‘to’ and ‘too’ LOL let alone ‘neither’ and ‘either’, dummy.
@ 56 fuck you 50 has diverse amount of fans and so does kanye kanye aint diverse hes just different he cant rap and all he does is sample
@ 55 kanye got a grammy bc those old white ppl like him( and i know ppl is gonna say young white kids like 50, but so does kanye)
both make ok music neither can rap but i choose 50 over kanye anyday, hes boring to me, and if you dont like that than fuck you in the ass with a kanye grammy
wouldnt he care? LOLOL.
woudnt the record label care? LOLOL
u kno how much money these record labels put out on projects? if u did, ud kno why its imperative 4 these labels to only make money and not lose it. record execs get fired all the time if they lose a certain amount of money. can u imagine how many ppl got fired from virgin records when mariah carey released “glitter”?
if u read wut i wrote earlier u woulda saw that i said 50 will prolly sell more w/ an assist from either himself or interscope. but the money is goin right back 2 interscope to pay off dat debt those 5 vids caused. as far as money goes u guys act like ur gettin sum of the money LOL. all these rappers are rich so wut are u gettin from it?
its kinda sad that there are arguments on who makes better music between 50 cent and kanye west. i mean all the 50 fans say he’s a great lyricist but can’t recite one hot line he’s done. if i were to ask a jay-z, nas, or biggie fan to recite one hot line from one of those guys, they could do that all day. there’s no sense in arguing w/ a 50 cent fan cuz its like arguing w/ a 2pac fan or a boyband fan. granted 2pac was lightyears ahead of 50 but could u honestly tell me that u think ‘pac was a better lyricist then biggie? yaa i thought so
Vitamin Water vs. The fashy Teddy Bear who will win… I don’t care LOL. The big brother track sounds better on audio then live.Champion is a regular Ye track still good though.
musically BIG BROTHER is ridiculous. the layering and build up. KANYE is a musical genius!!! 50 Cent gotta create controversy to get peeps to talk bout him….Kanye’s music getz people talkin’
50 fans are basically giving up, they already kno kanye album will be better so they just say “vitamin water bit ch etc.” and why does 50 keep saying this album is hood…yep AYO TECHNOLGY was a hood anthem 50, and the FOLLOW MY LEAD with robin thicke will have the hood buzzin. Who’s his next collaboration with, the Backstreet Boys fu k outta here. KANYE, “EVERYTHING IM NOT MAKES ME EVERYTHING I AM” SEPT 11 KANYE ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
op you dumb bitch, the singles are for the mainstream just like tha masscre it was some gangsta shit on that album but not on the single. I dont listen to kanye cuz its just not me, he is just to sensitive to have his whole album
weezy u dumb as shyt. Who’s the real 50 then is he a thug or is he a pop singer. Cause on Get Rich he had huge singles and he didnt need all these guests, and other obvious ploys to get a hit. Most good albums you can never tell what the single is because every song is so good. Kanye talks what he really lives, 50 talks his little fantasy stuff so little white boys in Missouri can live there version of “thug life”. Obviously he’s not shooting any cops, or people for that matter, so he’s rapping about stuff he aint doing. Tell him to worry about how G-Unit members can’t sell a damn CD, while GOOD music artists continously go platinum. By the way my other favorite rappers other than Kanye are Styles P, Joell Ortiz, The Game, Jadakiss, and of course Jay-Z/Nas. So i dont care what u talk about just make it sound good, and spit some actual bars except laughing, singing, and snarling on tracks. P>S> if any of this went over ya head, but Curtis because Kanye might be a little too much for you.
I feel obligated to buy ‘Graduation.’ ‘College Dropout’ came out my freshman year of college. That CD straight up shut down the school. All you saw was niggas walking around with hoodies and headphones. There were listening parties, and it really added to the college experience.
‘Late Registration’ came out during my junior year. I had relocated back home because of Hurricane Katrina. Two CDs help me get through that period: Little Brother’s ‘The Minstral Show’ & Kanye West’s ‘Late Registration.’ Even though I felt like his album was somewhat overproduced, he definitely stepped his game up. His first album garnered my attention, his second one garnered my respect.
I graduated in may, so the title of his upcoming album is so appropriate. I can’t judge the new album, because I haven’t heard it. However, no other albums have symbolized the last four years of my life like the catalogue of Kanye West. Therefore, I have to cop this new one.
I’m now in medical school, so I wonder what’s after ‘Graduation?’
ON BEAHALF OF MY FANS I’D LIKE TO SO GO GET MY ALBUM IF YOU A REAL NIGGA. IF YOU LIKE THE STREET SHIT, IF YOU LIKE THE HOT SHIT. AND IF YOUR PART OF THE SMART GENERAL PUBLIC YOU WILL GET MY ALBUM.
IF YOU DON’T GET MY ALBUM, THEN GO GET GAMES ALBUM AND MAKE ME RICH!!!
CAUSE THAT NIGGA WORKS FOR ME. ALL YOU HATERS SAY IT! FUCK 50! FUCK 50! FUCK 50! NOW GO GET MY DAMN ALBUM.
KANYE IS A SAFE RAPPER, HE GOT GOOD BEATS. BUT IM THE KING OF THIS SHIT. KANYE IS A ROOKIE.
VITAMIN WATER. TRY IT!
AND ANOTHER WORD, SHOUTOUT TO MY GAY FAN “BUSHWICK PURE”.
JUST STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE FRONT ROW WHEN YOU COME TO MY CONCERTS YOU FAGGOT.
#79 did u just bite exactly what #78 did, did u just pull a 50 on us just now.
i like what ave said at #75, even though i wasnt goin thru the same things as u were, thats why alot of people fuck wit kanye, sum of us were college dropouts, and realized we can still get real money,legal money, without that degree. kanye grew in his music, thats what we expect from our artist, thats why we follow them. cuz we grew while they grew. where’s the growth between get rich or die tryin, and the massacre ? curtis sounded a lil more grown then he started throwing tantrums like 50. he goes from side to side, while kanye grows.
take 2 songs from “late registration” , roses & hey mama, now pac woulda made both of these songs in his lifetime cuz he is real to his craft and his heart. thats not safe, cuz hip hop will shit on you for making songs bout moms & grandmoms. but i bet u 50 will never make a song about his moms or grandma, and if he did, they both gonna be gangsta’s just like him. i dont relate cuz my moms aint bust her gun, my moms did like kanye’s moms, raised me to stay out of jail by any means neccesary
Kanye just keeps on gettin better. I aint sure ’bout how the public gon recieve that “Big Brother” joint. Cause just how most people think, people prolly gon view it as gay. But its a hot concept i think. But that Champion song is on point.
Both those jams sounded kinda piff maybe this cd wont be bad it will def be better then 50 cuz i dont think Ye got every black persons favorite awful white singer Robin Dick on anything or at least i hope he dont big brother sounded pifffffffffff
big brother is on some grown man shyt, only real fa ggots would think the song is gay. And champion is straight fire, Graduation is gonna be crazy, trust that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After reading a lot of these comments, I’ve come to the conclusion that the majority of you are either pre-teens or of-age morons.
Big Brother is a very emotional track. The fact that he’s a rapper/ very good producer gives him a big edge on competition. He doesn’t have to worry about someone else making a beat, then have to match lyrics with it. Nope, he says exactly what he wants to say, HOW he wants to say it. That melody for Big Brother is crazy.

August 18th, 2007 at 3:10 am
Haven’t purchased an album since 04 but I might have to buy this one. I’m liking everything I’ve heard so far.
I remember when The Blueprint came out, Hot97 was playing damn near every track. This was also the case with Get Rich Or Die Tryin. I’ve got a feeling their going to do the same shit with Graduation. And this is when the word “Classic” will be thrown around. I will probably wholeheartedly agree.
August 18th, 2007 at 4:30 am
Kanye acting like only Jay made him and now he forgetting about Dame?.
how you gonna dedicate a song to a man whose still alive yet no one even dedicates whole songs to Big and Pac, not even the man youre praising Jay?
Kanye just showed his best hand.
and whose thowing the word classic around??? when a couple of his songs already sound the same, whack flow and Barry Bonds aint even fit for a mixtape??

Everyone hating on the fact that he chose to make a song about Jay over Dame. Why hate? Just because Dame chained the dude got him his deal dont mean he was Kayne’s best bud or took care of the guy. Dame wrote checks it seems, hell i don’t get so close with every boss ive ever had either.

August 18th, 2007 at 8:53 am
Good look Kanye, both tracks are hot but I like Big brother more
August 18th, 2007 at 9:26 am
lol dawg we all know who is gonna come in at #1, u dont think even tho 50 has no buzz and has released half of his albums as singles that, that is gonna stop him. u dont think dude will buy 100,000 copies his damn self to outsell kanye? u dont think he will demand interscope to buy 100,000 copies themselves 4 leaking his singles in the first place?
as far as 50 is concerned his whole mystic is over, it was jus a facade. u cant diss ja rule then swagger jack him. u cant have beef w/ a rapper EVERYTIME u have an album dropping. 50 has basically done EVERY possible to create buzz 4 “curtis”. released 5 singles, dissed lil wayne, irv, and HIS BOSS LOLOL. who else is 50 gonna be able to diss when his next album drops, if he ever raps again?
album sales used to mean something to me but ppl download albums so fast theres almost no point in buying them anymore. u gotta make me wanna buy ur album now. when it comes to “curtis” all 5 of those singles arent doing it 4 me. plus 3 of his diss tracks arent doing anything as well. so as u kno, i wont be buying “curtis”, hell im still trying to give away my “massacre” cd if anybody wants it.
with kanye, as soon as i heard “can’t tell me nothing” i was sold, thas a hood anthem and when ur riding in ur whip and u got dat song on, it jus comes out hard. i didnt kno wut to think of “stronger” at first cuz it went over my head a few times. but u gotta give it the car test. when dat record comes on in ur car and u hear the strings, celo, piano, and drums come from all different directions w/ those lyrics its great to listen to.
now ive been to a 50 concert and a kanye concert. the 50 concert wasnt all dat great but this was back when he first came out so he was still a rookie when it came to performing. the concert was ehh, typical rap concert, jus him a hype man and the dj.
when i went to a kanye concert, it was jus on a different level, he had different colored sets. he had his dj but he had the most amazing live band w/ great back ground singers that made those songs on his album come to life. most rappers/rockers sound horrible live, only a few sound better live, and kanye is in that select few. i went to jay-z’s “reasonable doubt” concert and he even has taken kanye’s theme w/ live bands, almost all the rappers are doin dat now, and they wouldnt have if kanye didnt introduce it.
record sales almost mean nothing anymore if ppl like mims are having #1 albums. 10 years from now ppl arent gonna remember how many records u sold ppl are gonna remember how many CLASSIC SONGS U HAD. look at reasonable doubt/illmatic, both albums didnt sell when they first came out BUT are still remembered 10 years later as being damn near perfect albums.
the difference between kanye and 50 is, 50 is now a business man and since the “massacre” he has sucked musically. kanye isnt bout the business even tho he charges an arm and a leg 4 beats so financially kanye is in a space, most will never see. ergo he completely focuses on his music. thas y kanye always gets recognized by award shows.
50 cent says he doesnt get awards cuz he’s a gangsta rapper lolol. nigga u dont get awards cuz ur albums suxx. trust me a lotta artists have sold way more albums then u and have no grammys. if the award show doesnt like ur songs, theyre not gonna let u win. u cant say cuz u rap bout being a gangsta thas the reason why they never give u an award. nigga jay-z been rapping bout dat same shit 10 years earlier and he’s gotten awards in the process.
August 18th, 2007 at 9:38 am
but since everybody want this to be a competition lets see how both record labels will do on 9/11.
interscope made millions of copies of the album, then got no buzz and had to destroy those copies to push the album back (lost millions). put out 2 vids w/ no buzz (lost money), put out 2 more vids w/ one having JT and timbo and still not gettin that buzz (JT + timbo + expensive vid = money down the drain). somebody there leaks the 5th single (lost millions) and thas jus bad. with this 50 cent project, interscope has lost money, all that 1st week money would have to go to interscope first to pay off dat debt jus to break even. the thing is, 50 will def buy the albums himself (so he’s losing his own money there). if interscope buys the albums also that jus adds on to the debt or if they jus say fuck 50 altogether they basically take an L and call it a day cuz they already lost a lotta dough w/ this project.
def jam has basically not promoted kanye at all. i mean 50 cent is all the promotion they need cuz 50 is always bringing up kanye in his interviews before the person interviewing him does. kanye has put out 2 vids, which is a loss of money but theyll get dat money back when the album drops. def jam hasnt really spent a dime on kanye, so they have no debt unlike interscope and will only make money on this day will interscope may either break even or jus take their loss of money and do suttin else. the funny position that kanye is in is his fans will buy his cd. also everyone that hates 50 will buy kanye (industry ppl, other record labels, regular ppl, rappers, bloggers, etc etc), so thas y its gonna be close on who comes in at #1. so either way, its a win/win 4 def jam regardless of where kanye comes in cuz the label hasnt lost any money promoting him while interscope has lost millions on 50’s project.
p.s. 50 until ur running a huge record label ur still jus a worker bee urself LOLOL. i guess u kno dat now since u said fuck jimmy iovine
August 18th, 2007 at 9:39 am

OLA you have bee riding Kanye’s nuts since yesteryear,
so i didnt bother reading your composition.
If you have to write a whole composition to just explain why Kanye will sell more it only means you are trying to convince yourself Bitch.
OLA please dont run and hide in Sept, you and Mi Mi have been riding on the hairs of Kanye’s nut i think you might commit suicide if he loses. dont go doing nuthin stupid now
and who cares if 50 loses money on this project?? Vitamin water Bitch

some hot records frm kanye i cant even front im really feelin that big brother record even though the content is kind of corny he put it in a lyrical manner which makes it really presentable cause the fact he aint mention nuttin bout dame doesnt make any sense but then again it could be in his other verses in the record but the production is hot can’t even front but im still coppin curtis on sept 11th and im not even a kanye fan because most of his music he’s off content that i can’t rock wit but if his whole albums has songs on it like i just heard i will buy it but CURTIS Sept 11th

you ppls definition of real hip hop is wack kanye aint real hip hop, hes just different and dont get it twisted i like kanye i downloaded both his albums (cuz i dont ever buy albums), but hes not real hip hop dude cant even rap the only thing he can do is sample well
August 18th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Not the biggest Kanye or 50 fan but Kanye is already getting awards for songs/videos off the album (VMA’s) and the album isnt out until 9/11. Fuck who sells more .Kanye already won…and that champion track is fire
August 18th, 2007 at 10:34 am
COPPIN GRADUATION THEN AFTER THE COOL BET U TWO BEST ALBUMS TO COME OUT IN A WHILE
August 18th, 2007 at 10:35 am
who cares about awards??
Tupac never got a grammy in his career, are you gonna tell me he was whack too???
And MTV vma’s are whack, how did Kanye get 5 nominations when he dont have an album out, yet artists like Luda, Jay, Nas, Lupe who had albums out last year with good videos never got nominated??
so who cares about awards, GRODT was never given a grammy, and from there 50 said fuck the Grammys coz he tells it like it is.
Kanye can take his grammys and shove them up his ass for his faggot enjoyment. awards clearly matter to him since he always cries if he dont get them.

1st of all for all the people asking about the where the dame songs at, listen to the track, we all know we idolized jayz, we looked up to jayz, we wanted to be like jayz. no one really looked up to dame, wanted to be like dame. he did sign kanye but that dont mean he’s his idle, he wanted to be rapper/producer/c.e.o.. nuff said
and for all the arguing 50 vs kanye blah blah blah, i’m a kanye fan, u cant argue wit a 50 fan and u cant change their point of view. 50 fans think in 1 lane, and i dont wanna insult ya’ll but ya’ll just aint bright enuff to feel kanye, he’s to broad for ya’ll. ya’ll probably luv snap music too. kanye fans cant ever get wit 50 cuz he’s to bland, not enuff perspective, not enuff topics,not enuff flows, not enuff creativity, very unsatisfying. thats just my opinion, hate it if u want
August 18th, 2007 at 10:40 am
I dont hate 50 but damn it isnt even fare to compare the kanye material with 50 cent ,that would be ridiculous,i dont know who will sell more or shit may be 50 but damn kanye is better all day
August 18th, 2007 at 10:53 am
they all sounding good but as you know 50 got the x factor and more diverse
August 18th, 2007 at 10:56 am
Get A Red Bull And F’Off, How the hell can you type the word intelligent (Twice) in THAT post?!? LMAOOO You cant even tell the difference between ‘to’ and ‘too’ LOL let alone ‘neither’ and ‘either’, dummy.
August 18th, 2007 at 11:04 am
i dont look up to jay-z, #56 its just music
August 18th, 2007 at 11:11 am
@ 56 fuck you 50 has diverse amount of fans and so does kanye kanye aint diverse hes just different he cant rap and all he does is sample
@ 55 kanye got a grammy bc those old white ppl like him( and i know ppl is gonna say young white kids like 50, but so does kanye)
both make ok music neither can rap but i choose 50 over kanye anyday, hes boring to me, and if you dont like that than fuck you in the ass with a kanye grammy

August 18th, 2007 at 11:22 am
and who cares if 50 loses money on this project??
wouldnt he care? LOLOL.
woudnt the record label care? LOLOL
u kno how much money these record labels put out on projects? if u did, ud kno why its imperative 4 these labels to only make money and not lose it. record execs get fired all the time if they lose a certain amount of money. can u imagine how many ppl got fired from virgin records when mariah carey released “glitter”?
if u read wut i wrote earlier u woulda saw that i said 50 will prolly sell more w/ an assist from either himself or interscope. but the money is goin right back 2 interscope to pay off dat debt those 5 vids caused. as far as money goes u guys act like ur gettin sum of the money LOL. all these rappers are rich so wut are u gettin from it?
its kinda sad that there are arguments on who makes better music between 50 cent and kanye west. i mean all the 50 fans say he’s a great lyricist but can’t recite one hot line he’s done. if i were to ask a jay-z, nas, or biggie fan to recite one hot line from one of those guys, they could do that all day. there’s no sense in arguing w/ a 50 cent fan cuz its like arguing w/ a 2pac fan or a boyband fan. granted 2pac was lightyears ahead of 50 but could u honestly tell me that u think ‘pac was a better lyricist then biggie? yaa i thought so
August 18th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Vitamin Water vs. The fashy Teddy Bear who will win… I don’t care LOL. The big brother track sounds better on audio then live.Champion is a regular Ye track still good though.

OLA stop showing everyone how much of an obsessed dick rider you really are.
do you work for DefJam, ROC or something? coz you should be on that payroll coz you deserve money for all your efforts.
Jay z is the only known person to have bought his own records and he suffered a major 70%+ decrease his 2nd week LOL.

P.S.
I’m coppin’ both! Hip Hop needs this badly.
August 18th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
50 fans are basically giving up, they already kno kanye album will be better so they just say “vitamin water bit ch etc.” and why does 50 keep saying this album is hood…yep AYO TECHNOLGY was a hood anthem 50, and the FOLLOW MY LEAD with robin thicke will have the hood buzzin. Who’s his next collaboration with, the Backstreet Boys fu k outta here. KANYE, “EVERYTHING IM NOT MAKES ME EVERYTHING I AM” SEPT 11 KANYE ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 18th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
op you dumb bitch, the singles are for the mainstream just like tha masscre it was some gangsta shit on that album but not on the single. I dont listen to kanye cuz its just not me, he is just to sensitive to have his whole album
August 18th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
weezy u dumb as shyt. Who’s the real 50 then is he a thug or is he a pop singer. Cause on Get Rich he had huge singles and he didnt need all these guests, and other obvious ploys to get a hit. Most good albums you can never tell what the single is because every song is so good. Kanye talks what he really lives, 50 talks his little fantasy stuff so little white boys in Missouri can live there version of “thug life”. Obviously he’s not shooting any cops, or people for that matter, so he’s rapping about stuff he aint doing. Tell him to worry about how G-Unit members can’t sell a damn CD, while GOOD music artists continously go platinum. By the way my other favorite rappers other than Kanye are Styles P, Joell Ortiz, The Game, Jadakiss, and of course Jay-Z/Nas. So i dont care what u talk about just make it sound good, and spit some actual bars except laughing, singing, and snarling on tracks. P>S> if any of this went over ya head, but Curtis because Kanye might be a little too much for you.
August 18th, 2007 at 12:52 pm

August 18th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
I feel obligated to buy ‘Graduation.’ ‘College Dropout’ came out my freshman year of college. That CD straight up shut down the school. All you saw was niggas walking around with hoodies and headphones. There were listening parties, and it really added to the college experience.
‘Late Registration’ came out during my junior year. I had relocated back home because of Hurricane Katrina. Two CDs help me get through that period: Little Brother’s ‘The Minstral Show’ & Kanye West’s ‘Late Registration.’ Even though I felt like his album was somewhat overproduced, he definitely stepped his game up. His first album garnered my attention, his second one garnered my respect.
I graduated in may, so the title of his upcoming album is so appropriate. I can’t judge the new album, because I haven’t heard it. However, no other albums have symbolized the last four years of my life like the catalogue of Kanye West. Therefore, I have to cop this new one.
I’m now in medical school, so I wonder what’s after ‘Graduation?’
August 18th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Not even a fan but I have to say that was pretty hot by Kanye,,,Good lord that was fire!
August 18th, 2007 at 5:32 pm
YEAH NIGGAS!
I GET IT!
ON BEAHALF OF MY FANS I’D LIKE TO SO GO GET MY ALBUM IF YOU A REAL NIGGA. IF YOU LIKE THE STREET SHIT, IF YOU LIKE THE HOT SHIT. AND IF YOUR PART OF THE SMART GENERAL PUBLIC YOU WILL GET MY ALBUM.
IF YOU DON’T GET MY ALBUM, THEN GO GET GAMES ALBUM AND MAKE ME RICH!!!
CAUSE THAT NIGGA WORKS FOR ME. ALL YOU HATERS SAY IT! FUCK 50! FUCK 50! FUCK 50! NOW GO GET MY DAMN ALBUM.
KANYE IS A SAFE RAPPER, HE GOT GOOD BEATS. BUT IM THE KING OF THIS SHIT. KANYE IS A ROOKIE.
VITAMIN WATER. TRY IT!
AND ANOTHER WORD, SHOUTOUT TO MY GAY FAN “BUSHWICK PURE”.
JUST STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE FRONT ROW WHEN YOU COME TO MY CONCERTS YOU FAGGOT.
August 18th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
50 get the fu c outta here your done, yea kanye’s safe…and your just a sellout, KANYE ALL DAY
August 19th, 2007 at 4:42 am
#79 did u just bite exactly what #78 did, did u just pull a 50 on us just now.
i like what ave said at #75, even though i wasnt goin thru the same things as u were, thats why alot of people fuck wit kanye, sum of us were college dropouts, and realized we can still get real money,legal money, without that degree. kanye grew in his music, thats what we expect from our artist, thats why we follow them. cuz we grew while they grew. where’s the growth between get rich or die tryin, and the massacre ? curtis sounded a lil more grown then he started throwing tantrums like 50. he goes from side to side, while kanye grows.
take 2 songs from “late registration” , roses & hey mama, now pac woulda made both of these songs in his lifetime cuz he is real to his craft and his heart. thats not safe, cuz hip hop will shit on you for making songs bout moms & grandmoms. but i bet u 50 will never make a song about his moms or grandma, and if he did, they both gonna be gangsta’s just like him. i dont relate cuz my moms aint bust her gun, my moms did like kanye’s moms, raised me to stay out of jail by any means neccesary
August 19th, 2007 at 9:42 am
Kanye just keeps on gettin better. I aint sure ’bout how the public gon recieve that “Big Brother” joint. Cause just how most people think, people prolly gon view it as gay. But its a hot concept i think. But that Champion song is on point.
August 19th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Both those jams sounded kinda piff maybe this cd wont be bad it will def be better then 50 cuz i dont think Ye got every black persons favorite awful white singer Robin Dick on anything or at least i hope he dont big brother sounded pifffffffffff
August 19th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
big brother is on some grown man shyt, only real fa ggots would think the song is gay. And champion is straight fire, Graduation is gonna be crazy, trust that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 20th, 2007 at 7:34 am
kanye brings heat everytime, kanye #1
August 25th, 2007 at 3:40 am
After reading a lot of these comments, I’ve come to the conclusion that the majority of you are either pre-teens or of-age morons.
Big Brother is a very emotional track. The fact that he’s a rapper/ very good producer gives him a big edge on competition. He doesn’t have to worry about someone else making a beat, then have to match lyrics with it. Nope, he says exactly what he wants to say, HOW he wants to say it. That melody for Big Brother is crazy.
