Team Kanye or Team 50

Ok, so I've been going over this over and over and over...I'm not the type of person to do things because they're big and/or popular but I couldn't resist...so I went out and purchased both Kanye West and 50 Cents CDs and I can honestly say neither of them are the next step in rap or a reinvention nor rejuvenation of the fledgling art form known as Hip-Hop, the only one to do so thus far is Nas with his aptly titled 'Hip Hop is Dead'…which judging from these two CD, if it isn’t it close…this brought up the question: Was 50’s said retirement a publicity stunt to boost his sales? I’m going to go ahead and say that it was and it didn’t work because her released a lackluster CD, Curtis is like an artists introduction into an artform...barely passable as someone’s third album, very sophomoric …I hope he can rebound with a mix tape or something… while on the other hand Kanye’s CD Graduation is not masterpiece but it’s more complete than 50’s…so there you go my, my thoughts on Kanye and 50 Cent…
