As you all know by now, if you are in the free thinking world, 50 Cent issued a challenge to Kanye West. Why? Beats the hell out of me. 50 Cent has not a leg to stand on when it comes to talent as an artist. Sure his beats, thanks to Dr. Dre, are hard BUT the lyrics leave a little to be desired. Sounds OK for awhile, but how many different ways can you rap about your big money, your phat ride, you phat crib, or your abundance of honey dips? Well, I’ve seen a few of the honey dips and I’d brag too but that’s not enough to go challenging a brother at the top of his game. This is exactly where Kanye West is right now. West can’t seem to miss. Everything he touches tops the charts.
50 Cent first challenges West to a debate that never happened. This never came to past. Then kicking and scratching like a 2-year old throwing a temper-tantrum, he threatens to retire if West’s new album, "Graduation", outsells his new album, "Curtis". I am assuming that 50 Cent is looking for an excuse to pull his social security. Yeah right, I would gather that he has never worked a serious job in his life. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Perhaps he plans on moving on to the adult movie industry, as many others, such as Money B of the Digital Underground or even becoming an actor himself like Treach from Naughty by Nature. My guess is that 50 Cent might have what it takes to make it in the adult industry. Based on how Vivica Fox turned crazed stalker on him, I can only assume he knows how to put the pound down. As I am most certain that Kayne West’s release will outsell 50’s by a landslide, I will keep my eyes peeled for him at the next AVN in Las Vegas next year. Last year's AVN was truly off the hook. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this event.
-Jay.
