9/11

Alright, so this is the day that every hip-hop fan has been waiting for. 50 vs. Kanye. Curtis vs. Graduation. Shout out to the marketing fucks who decided that it was a good idea to put the release date for the two albums on the anniversary of a horrible tragedy. Much like the "feud" itself, it's a cheap attempt to sell albums that's disappointing and yet will be ultimately successful. Look for both Kanye and 50 to both sell more albums then they should considering that neither of their current singles ("Stronger", "Ayo Technology") are anywhere near as popular as their older singles ("Jesus Walks", "Gold Digger", "In Da Club", "Candy Shop"). Despite of all this, I am still shamefully caught up in the hype. I am banking on Kanye to sell more albums, although I wouldn't be surprised (and would find it completely hilarious) if Kenny Chesney outsells them both. Lookout for my Curtis and Graduation reviews and a few other random hip-hop links and news throughout the day.
