So dumb that their albums came out on the same day!!

how is it dumb? you obviously don't know anything about the music business so I'm not going to take my time out to explain it to you because I feel like I will be wasting my time as I feel like I'm wasting my time even writing this response to you

Kanye has a much different sound to him, but 50 cent knows how to make good albums and keep a good gangster image, so id have to give it to him.

Both are good, that's hard decision.

I see them both as nothing more than commercial crap rap, and I fail to see what the big deal is about either of them.
They both lose.

Neither are particularly good MCs, with Kanye probably less gifted in terms of actual skills than Fiddy. West however is an OUTSTANDING producer. Production is his forte. He makes excellent beats and mixes generally recognized for their high quality by fans of commercial and underground rap alike, regardless of whether or not they like him. So there ought to be a "big deal" about Kanye at least. Fiddy got his reputation largely from other things, and far as I know doesn't make his own beats at all.

Fifty makes the flow for his music so he gets co-writing credits...Kanye produces his albums and writes his own horrendous, self-obsessed lyrics. He's a pretty good producer, but can't compete with Blockhead, EL-P, etc.

I'm actually surprised that this was a serious question. Kanye or Fiddy? Just listen to the embarrassing discrepancy in quality between the works of what both artists put out in 2007, and the question is self-answered.
