NEW YORK - 50 Cent believes his new album will outsell Kanye West's upcoming disc, and he's betting his solo career on it. Both 50 Cent and West have albums due out Sept. 11. 50 Cent, who has sold better than West, has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his "Curtis" CD.

"Let's raise the stakes," the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums."

An e-mail sent to West's publicist wasn't immediately returned Friday.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson, has been publicly disparaging of West before. In 2005, he suggested the 29-year-old rapper's popularity was only possible because of 50's own success.

But they recently collaborated in the studio. Their work, though, isn't scheduled to appear on either new album.

50 Cent's last full-length solo album, "The Massacre," was the best-selling disc of 2005 and sold more than 1.14 million copies in its first week of release. The same year, West's "Late Registration" opened by selling more than 860,000 copies in its first week.

im just throwin out examples, lol.

But for real, jay had one or so within the past few years, but he done in game when it comes to tracks, and its nice when he lets out somethin that real, but kanye in his prime and gonna keep doin his thing, not repeatin himself over and over like most cats, just with a different beat, and talking about the same shit as the other guy on the radio, or mixtape.

How is Kanye not talkinga bout the same thing over and over?

"No one wanted to sign me"

"I'm the hottest producer out right now"

"Look at me, I can rap too"

"I hate white people"

"My political views are wack"

"I got my chain from Jacob"

[soul]

ok, then tell me who in the game right, in the light, and gets radio play that actually has a message or something in it?

Fucking no one. Wayne,dipset,ugk,gunit,young money,t.i.(***** said the same thing since trap musik, same songs pretty much too) who? no one out. just a bunch of fake ass niggas and thugs getting play nowadays. But hey if you feel that thats cool, i listen to it at times, but when i look for some depth in some music aint gonna be seein any of that shit in the deck, and if you aint feelin that you just another ***** killin off hip hop

["B"]

I just said Jay-Z. Although he doesn't put out sinlges that address real issues. You have to pullin the masses and THEN talk to them.

[tony]

50 is a damn marketing genius.. all this is about is getting press and nothing more.
