Kanye vs. 50 Cent

Wooo, Lupe's got a great new track

Uh oh. Lupe could be a one hit wonder

Almost like The D.O.C., except without the excuse of losing his vocal chords.

Shifty, how can you be a one hit wonder if you're whole album is good?

No way he'll be a one hit wonder. He might not be as successful as the other rappers because he won't dilute his lyrics. But other than that, I think he's attracting enough buzz to be around for a while.

Anywho, that's not the single off his album. His first single off "The Cool" is called Superstar. I still like that song, though. But Superstar is better, and it's probably a little more mainstream than Dumb It Down.

Like, One Awesome Album Wonder. Like The D.O.C.

Watch out for Saigon, he's gonna bring that fire when his CD finally drops.

Bubba's dropping a new album in the sping. Sucks for everyone else.

Hands down it's gotta be Kanye, there is only 2 songs on there I don't like but the rest is great.

LOL.....let's hope so, bro. He was supposed to be bringing the rap industry on its knees as far back as '02 if I remember correctly. But it's just been mixtape after mixtape (not that im complaining much, since they've been insanely wicked for the most part) for the past 4-5yrs, man.

Saigon is an animal.

^^Good stuff, bro.

No way in hell Lupe is a one-hit wonder. He got skillz, skateboarding skillz.

ha im the only one that voted for 50 cent. hilarious.

yeah... if u like kanye west, there is a compilation series you should check out called "Euro Club Hits" --

it's pretty clear that dance music is coming back around the world -- just check the recent big American hip-hop and R&B hits which are clear rip-offs of the european dance style.....

here's the direct iTunes link to the "Euro Club Hits" series.....

I'm a huge Kanye fan and have been a bit of a 50 hater, although I liked Get Rich or Die Trying and a few of his Massacre hits, etc. Anyway, my first impression is that Curtis is a better hip-hop album than Graduation. I....um..... work for a record company, so I've heard them already.

Hilariously, I don't think I've listened to Curtis one time after that first listen. I like Graduation, but there's a few songs I skip, which is rare for me and a Kanye album.

Still um.... work for that record company.

Curtis is so bad it's not even funny. Graduation is a really good album but you're right some songs are just ehh.

so I guess I'm the only one who thinks 'Ayo Technology' is one of those songs I skip when I'm listening to the album?

I liked it. For a week. But then it got old, so I moved on.

I still listen to Graduation, and besides from a song or two that I skip... (Good Life; over played, Big Brother; I hate Jay Z) I love that CD.
