50 Cent to retire if Kanye sells more records.

**Fetusaurus Rex** · 08-12-2007, 12:54 AM

Here's to hoping Kanye wins, and then quits, too.

50 Threatens To Retire if 'Curtis' Doesn't Outsell 'Graduation' | Hip Hop News > HipHopDX.com

50 Cent is a big time gambler. He bet one million on his boy Floyd Mayweather during his bout with Oscar de la Hoya. Now, 50 will put his entire career on the line for one match.

His opponent? Kanye West.

According to a report by the New York Daily News, 50 vows to retire if his upcoming album, Curtis, fails to out sell West’s highly anticipated Graduation

"Let's raise the stakes," he says. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer [perform] music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums."

The usually outspoken West has not said much about the “competition” with 50, but declined an offer to debate the G-Unit head on BET. What am I going to debate about?" West asked at the MTV Award nominations. "I thought [the debate] was the stupidest thing. When my album drops and Fifty's album drops, you're going to get a lot of good music at the same time."

50, however, will not stop talking about Sept. 11 and had some strong words for West’s album and Def Jam, accusing the label of dishonest industry practices. “I bet this: When Kanye West's sales come in, he's gonna have a 70% decrease cause Def Jam is gonna buy records [the first week] to keep him closer to 50 Cent. So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his ass drop off the planet."

I think I might buy Kanye's album just for the cause, this could be very good for him and his record sales

rappers are always "going into retirement" only to release another album the next year. Hell, in that business you can be dead and still release records for 10 more years. It's kinda irritating really, it's like when Sylvia Brown says a giant flood is going to wipe out San Francisco in 2005 and doesn't, then no one ever says "Hey, I thought you said..." Same thing, no one ever goes "Isn't your ass retired?"

**KentDog** · 08-12-2007, 08:44 AM

Yeah, Floyd Mayweather said his fight with De La Hoya would be his last, and now he's scheduled to fight Ricky Hatton in December. Not that I mind that he is still fighting, but most of the time in the entertainment industry it's just hype.

That wrestler Terry Funk has retired more times than he's had matches.

I hope 50 Cent gets called on this, id love to hear his quote if he loses..."Uhh...yeah, 'bout that..."

**BoneCrusher** · 09-12-2007, 06:56 PM

**danny81** · 09-12-2007, 08:28 PM

i dont like 50 but i hate kanye. BTW BC its def a fake thing. 50 fueld his whole career on beefs.

**oaktownboy** · 09-12-2007, 08:50 PM

You can tell 50 didn't put much into his new album. With the exception of 1 or 2 songs, it's terrible. When a rapper starts saying how he has so much money, he doesn't even need to rap anymore, that's when you know it's all downhill from there. Kanye is a little girl; always crying about something. College Dropout was a classic. Late Registration was bearable, but his new joint is all about his ego. I dunno how many beats he has ripped from other artists, but it's just crazy.

**P-funk** · 09-12-2007, 08:58 PM

who cares about these two fucking assholes when there are people making good music like this:

**danny81** · 09-12-2007, 09:18 PM

**P-funk** · 09-12-2007, 09:28 PM

why? because it actually took talent to make? or because the lyrics are in english and you don't understand them?

**danny81** · 09-12-2007, 09:46 PM

ll u think rap takes no talent? u try and make a song with good punch lines while rhying on the spoty

**danny81** · 09-12-2007, 09:48 PM

Meh. Rap sux. Good country music always has a message that has nothing to do with bangin, crime, or how tough the guy doin the song is. It's always about pretty girls, love, life and whatever falls in between.

Well ... like this one:
