By Roman Wolfe

Rapper Kanye West has accepted 50 Cent's challenge to appear live on BET's countdown show 106 & Park on Tuesday, September 11, the day both of their highly anticipated albums are released.

 

Terrence and Rocsi will host a "battle" during the show, where 50 Cent will perform singles from his upcoming album Curtis, while Kanye West will perform songs from his upcoming effort, Graduation.

 

ESPN's Stuart Scott will deliver commentary and a statistical breakdown of both 50 Cent and Kanye West.

 

"How could I not come to 106 & PARK on the day my album comes out? I'm definitely coming," West stated, while 50 Cent said ominously: "Just make sure that Kanye West shows up."

 

50 Cent and Kanye West will appear live on 106 & Park on Tuesday, September 11 at 6:00 PM.

I think this is good for hip-hop.  Everybody hates on 50, but dude has a solid marketing plan that's drawin a lot of attention to both of em.  Kanye and 50 are gonna profit from this, and frankly....50 can't afford another flop.  And yes sellin 4-5 million worldwide on your sophmore effort is a failure when you sold 12 million on your debut, and noone else is really goin plat from G-Unit.  He lost Game, and as it turns out....that was the best asset he had...the West Coast is big, and determines alot about the sales of hip-hop.  This is a good thing.

This is definately good for hip-hop.... It's good P.R.(public relation) for both camps.....G-Unit & The Roc/G.O.O.D Music......

The mid 90's got most people thinking that when two camps come together in one place negativity or violence is the outcome.....

(White america of the late 70's early 80's who wanted hip-hop to die tried to get everyone to think that..Twenty years later they've suceeded with some people it appears.) Not me.

That's not what hip-hop is all about......Yeah people battled but they let their skillz speak for who was the better graffatti artist, dancer, or rapper was at that time.....

They don't need to debate over who's album is better.... However a intellectual talk about the state of hip-hop would bring out the best point of views from both artist.....

Shaking hands with each other on T.V. will be the rebirth of what hip-hop used to be about....RealTalk.

The curtis album is fire!!! The Kanye album is good too. The only song I don't like on Curtis is Fire with that chick from the pussy cat dolls. The rest is heat Stronger on Kanye is weak lets be honest here! Whether I'm driving around in the A or back up in NY I don't here no one blasting Kanye out of there car nor do they play anything in the club. But when they throw on I get Money the place goes crazy!

I will by both Albums!!!

HAHAHAHA!! THE WEST IS WHACK THEY FEELING THAT BI POLAR FAGGOT!!! BUCK SONED HIM IN VEGAS IN HIS OWN HOOD HAHAHAHA.

AS FAR AS FIF AND KANYE. KANYE BETTER BE PAYING 50 SOME ROYALTIES BECAUSE CURTIS CREATED THIS FAKE COMPETITION AND THEY ARE BOTH GONA BENEFIT FROM IT AND THEY BOTH MADE SUBPAR ALBUMS. JAY AND 50- PLAYED EVERYONE PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING TO THE MONEY NO ONE DOES IT LIKE THE KID FIF. SOME MAY GET MORE BUT HE MAXIMIZES HIS SITUATION EVERY SINGLE TIME.

AND THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR HIP HOP AND IT'S NOT BAD. THIS IS GOOD FOR 50 KANYE AND THEIR LABELS. WILL PEOPLE BUY MORE RECORDS BECAUSE OF THIS DEBATE?? YES THESE TWO GUYS ALBUMS NO ONE ELSES. WIL THIS CHANGE MAINSTREAMS BIAS AGAINST HIP HOP? NO. STOP BEING NAIVE AND IGNORANT.  A DEBATE ON BET WITH TWO RICH ARTISTS IS GOOD FOR THEM NOT HIP HOP. IT MAY BE ENTERTAINING TO WATCH BUT THATS IT HIP HOP WILL NOT BENEFIT AND IT WILL BE FORGOTTEN AS SOON AS FIF AND KANYE CASH THEIR CHECKS!

This is getting ridiculous... I'm pullin' for Kanye to outsell 49 cent, but I hope Kenny Chesney outsells em both, so they will shut up...... Just concentrate on making good music, and not sells by controversy and publicity stunts.

I think this is good for hip hop as well. I'll be watching 106. No matter who you're rooting for.. this Kanye/50 thing has everyone talking and isn't that what good marketing is about?

Maybe they're succeeding by changing the strategy. Leaking albums. You've got to admit that only a limited amount of people (on the inside) have the power to leak an unreleased album. You also have to admit that these leaks are hurting hip hop (and r&b sales to a smaller extent) than any other genre.

Yo, Chesney may roast both their asses when it comes to sales though, white people love that dude.  Either way this is great for hip-hop and eventhough I hate BET I might tune in just to see that, Big Up Stuart Scott for getting in the mix because everyone knows that those two bum hosts on 106 & Park would foul it up if they had to do it all by themselves, they are bums, bring back Free and The Predator.

SO IT'S GOOD FOR RAP IF 50 OR KANYE MOVE MORE UNITS THEN THEY ALREADY HAVE??? THESE GUYS FIF MORE THEN KANYE ARE AS FIF SAYS STANKY RICH AGAIN IT MAKES THEM MORE RICH AND THEY WILL MOVE MORE UNITS BECAUSE OF THIS!! BUT THIS WILL NOT MAKE ANY OTHER RAPPER SELL MORE UNITS WHEN THEIR ALBUMS COME OUT. THE HYPOCRISY AGAINST HIP HOP WILL NOT CHANGE HERE. THIS IS ON BET WHO DO YOU THINK IS WATCHING. US HIP HOP FANS WHO ALREADY LIKE THE MUSIC AND UNDERSTAND THE MUSIC. ARE THE CRITICS WATCHING TO MAYBE HEAR 50 AND KANYE TO INTELLIGENT GUYS DEBATE AND EXPLAIN WHY HIP HOP CAN BE POSITIVE?? NO. IS BILL O'REILLY WATCHING BET OR ANY OTHER CRITIC WHO SLAMS HIP HOP DAILY TO MAYBE  SEE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE STORY? NO.

THEY CONTINUE TO RAIL AWAY ON HIP HOP BECAUSE OF MORONS LIKE CAMRON WHO GOES ON 60 MINUTES AND THE O'REILLY FACTOR AND MAKES RETARDED STATEMENTS THAT IS SEEN ALL OVER THE US IN THE WHITE FILLED MIDWEST AND EVERYWHERE ELSE TO HELP FEED ALL THE STREOEYPES. ISTEAD OF MAKING AN INTELLIGENT DEBATE THIS MUTT STARTS TALKING HOOD AND ALL THE HOSTS HAVE TO DO IS LET HIM TALK AND HE MAKES THEIR POINT FOR THEM. DO YOU THINK CAM WAS ASKED TO GO ON BOTH SHOWS BY ACCIDENT??? THIS WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND WHILE A DEBATE WITH ARTISTS LIKE KANYE AND 50 OR JAY WOULD BE A HARDER SELL TO RAIL AGAINST HIP HOP CAUSE THEY MAY BRING INTELLIGENT VALID POINTS TO DISPUTE WHAT IS BEING SAID THEY FOUIND AN IDIOT LIKE CAM TO SAY STUPID SHIT AND BASICALLY SAY YOU SEE THIS IS HIP HOP. CAM TRIED TO PROMOTE HIS HOOD REP AND BE GANGSTA AND IT SET HIP HOP BACK!  A DEBATE ON BET WITH 50 AND KANYE WILL DO NOTHING TO ERASE THE STEROTYPE AND BIAS AGAINST HIP HOP STR8 UP!

Real Hip Hop Since 1977 comment:

I agree that a 1 hour BET show with Kayne and 50CENT will not erase the sterotype and bias against hip hop. However I feel it will be a step in the right direction....

(I'm soundin like a old man saying this) but I feel because there is no cautious rap on mainstream radio being ignorant is what the new generation think is cool.....That's why you have people like Cam'ron making dumb statements, Foxy actin' a fool and other rap artist doing stupid isht when they could be doing better for themselves and their communties...

It's like some rap artist don't think anymore about what they say or do and when that happens that's definately a bad look for hip-hop....RealTalk

Even if 50 was down on sales, he could always buy a couple hundred thousand himself.

106 and park is extremely gay now, Rocsi and Terrence J have made the show really soft, boring and difficult to watch, plus according to wikipedia they cancelled Freestyle Friday and that's why it hasn't been on for like a month. How the fuck could they cancel freestyle friday?

I'm gonna tune into the battle, but I have a really hard time watching hyper Terrence J, and annoying Rocsi.

Kappagem said:

Man, a lot of you cats on here are hilarious....and DUMB!  First off...

Whoever used the word BY intead of BUY to say they were going to purchase these cd's next Tuesday...please get some education homey:)

With that said...

Kanye's album is killin' Fif's....I'm sorry.  I've said it time and time again, and I'll reiterate...FIF's album is NOT, I repeat, NOT a banger.  Personally, I like Can't Tell Me Nothing MORE than I Get Money, although they are both LEGIT bangers.  Outside of that, though, you will all see that Kanye's album has WAY more to it than Fif's...Kanye does have two miscues, in MY book, which are Drunken Hot Girls and Stronger, but hell, Stronger is gettin' MAD spins in Europe, as well as within these pop/techno type clubs.  White people LOVE that ish....but you can't tell me that isn't smart marketing....he has a street ANTHEM (how many people truly be feeling that way....that Can't NOBODY tell them anything:) and an international banger in Stronger (again, I personally don't like it, but I know a number of brothas, sistas, and OTHER folks who LOVE that cut).

Fif only has I Get Money...I'm sorry!  I think 50 is gonna have a STRONG 1st week, and then we will see HIS numbers fall off the most, unless Interscope purchases a shit load.

ALbum really isn't up to par with Graduation though...

Oh, and to the cat talkin' bout how Game was 50's best asset.  ACtually, I somewhat agree, because I think Game is better than Buck or Banks....but to say the WEST is so "huge" and all, I would slow up on that.  I lived out West, and everyone out there is bootleggin' EVERYTHING.  They don't pay for SHYT out west!  The state is the most notorious for bootlegging in the whole damn country, with New York a close second.  But the INTERNET is so damn huge out there, they aren't the "market" where the money is coming into for record sales and all.  That would be the MIDWEST.  Why you think Eminem, Nelly, and folks like that sell so much?  You gotta appeal to the midwest demographic, where folks still actually BUY the albums homey.

Check the stats....

Anyhow...Get 'em Kanye!  This is going to be good for BET...that's about it:)  LOL...

Oh well, this is all for record sales. Seriously, there's no comparing  their albums. 50 Gimmicks album is going to be full of gunshots and war stories from a life he stopped living a long time ago. Kanye's album on the other hand will be full music that he poured his heart and soul into. And even if 50 sells more records Kanye will know he won because the people will speak through boards like this one and they will say he has the better album. Kanye makes quality songs, while 50 makes typical tracks. 50 has gotten us all in such a debate over record sales that it almost seems like people are going to judge the albums by the sales and not the music. Think about it. Come Christmas time, no one is going to remember any song from 50 Gimmicks album, but the majority of us will still be listening to Kanye's album.

CRISIS187 said:

50 is a mastermind when it comes to marketing. Kanye's going to sell more albums then his last album because of 50. But he ain't out selling 50 on this album. And that dude that said 50's second album was a flop needs to do his research. He sold 12 million the first album and 11 million on his second album, not 5, not 6 and not 7, 11 million on his second album. He did about 5 for the soundtrack to his movie. That's 23 million records sold off of his first 2 albums. That's more then Jay-Z sold his whole career. I don't see any flop in those numbers. Don't late the hate takeover your better judgment and common sense. And even if he did sell 5-6 million world wide, that's better then what most cat's do in their whole career.

FOR ALL WE KNOW, KENNY CHESNEY'S ALBUM COULD BE BETTER THEN BOTH OF THESE CATS. SO YOU WASTED TIME TRYING TO TALK DOWN TO MY PEOPLE.

FOLKS ARE GOING TO BUY THE ARTIST THEY SUPPORT. THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHICH ALBUM IS BETTER.

USING BY, INSTEAD OF BUY, ONLY TELLS ME IT'S SOMEONE WHO TEXT MESSAGES, ALOT. [THEY GOT A WHOLE NEW SHORT HAND GOING ON.] LMAO BESIDES, WHEN YOU LOOK FOR GOOD, YOU CAN FIND IT. [SAME FOR BAD, BUT YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY] WHY DO FOLKS HAVE TO CYBER BANG. THAT'S IGNORANT.

IF FOLKS BOUGHT "THE BEST" ALBUMS INSTEAD OF WHOM THEY SUPPORT THEN, THEY'D STILL BE BUYING "STRAIGHT OUTTA CA$HVILLE" AND "BUCK THE WORLD". THOSE ARE THE BEST 2 GUNIT ALBUMS SINCE, "GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN" AND "BEG FOR MERCY".

PEOPLE ARE GONNA PURCHASE THEIR FAVORITE, ETC.

ME, I LOVE THE ARTFORM AND IT'S SUFFERING. I'M BUYING BOTH. I GIVE LESS THEN A DAMN ABOUT WHICH ONES BETTER. HIPHOP IS THE BEST!

I've got both albums homie, and I can tell you 50's got some really hot songs(and thats what sells). Kanye's cd is a little boring, but I'll still fuck with it. If Kanye's smart he'll shoot a video for "Good Life" ft T-Pain and debut it 2-3 weeks after his album comes out on Sept 11. 50's got a really hot song with Akon that he prolly should have chosen for a single, but I guess the name might not be people friendly.
