Kanye or 50? Who's better? Why? (lyrics, techno, dance, hardcore)

Jimmy Stewart · 10-02-2008, 11:47 AM

you call Kanye a pop rapper, but wen i say 50 is pop, you reply with "well that makes bla, bla & bla pop"

it dont work both ways i'm afraid

you say "I Get Money", i say "Ayo Technology"

your subject matter is not what makes you pop, maybe in an ideal world but not in this one

one thing that came to me the other day in regards to the difference (and similarity) between 50 & Kanye, is the fact they still manage to portray lifestyles away from their new found success

i.e. Kanye makes 'everyman rap' regardless of bein a superstar, and 50 makes 'gangster rap' regardless of bein a superstar

they're both god at what they do, but my first point still stands... 50 is stale right now, Kanye isn't

i stick with Kanye for now, and await 'before i self destruct' to see if 50 is actually on to something, or jus doin his usual hype man thing to push a product

I personally think Kanye is better, but Lupe Fiasco is better than both.

They both suck. Kanye is better but he's such a tool. He has thrown a ****ing fit at 2 award shows, and said the president hates black people on national tv... even P DIDDY isnt that ****ing stupid.

They both suck.

They're both criminals, although 50 Cents is the worst one (why isn't he in jail?). Kayne also spoke out against the homophobia in the rap industry, which earns him a lot of respect.

In what sense is Kanye West a criminal?

He was arrested for vandalism about a month ago.

From a little googling it looks like he smashed the camera of some paparazzi guy. Also, it looks like the charges have been dropped.
