Kanye West’s new album is going to sell like hot cakes. No, not because it has great music on it (it could be 74 minutes of wind blowing for all I know). No, it’s not because they are giving it away. It’s because it would be great to see “Fitty Cent” end his career because of his big mouth:

“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.”

I don’ t have anything against Fitty (although referring to himself in the third person isn’t helping); I don’t particularly like Kanye (although Stronger is boss even though it’s mostly ripped off); I just think it would be really funny if Kanye’s sales forced Fitty to eat his words.
