- PotatoFro, on 10/10/2007, -17/+39i haven't heard Fitty's, but Kanye's new record is prettttyyyyy preettttyyyyy prettttyyy good.
- plhearn, on 10/10/2007, -13/+13Kanye's new record sucks. I'm a huge Kanye fan and his new album was a total let down. Definitely the worst hes made so far. The songs "Champion" and "The good life" are decent at best, and the rest of the album is crap.
- statrick, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4you are not a kanye fan if you dont like his new album, simple as that.
- gage006, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Glad i'm not alone. Kanye's new album is terrible. I'll stick with the first two, thanks.

- louiedog, on 10/10/2007, -7/+4I don't like either artist, but Kanye's album has some decent reviews, although Fitty's is supposed to suck. Wow, I managed to say that without typing "artist" or stereotyping black people. I should sign off Digg.

Actually we wanted the black guys to stop copying all the other black guys' beats and lyrics and to start making music worthy of listening.

http://www.digg.com/users/dracostimpy/gallery/3533 ... - GeneralFailure0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7If comments on Digg had to be positive, most of them wouldn't be there, including yours. (Telling someone to shut the ***** up doesn't count as constructive criticism.) Regardless of whether you agree, he is entitled to his opinion, and it was funny.
- FyberOptic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5The fact that you're so obviously worked up over him making a humorous remark about the quality of the "music" shows that he struck a nerve. It's because most people (probably yourself included) know that 99% of all modern rap is repetitive unimaginative garbage, but they listen to it because it's what everyone else listens to. It's the current musical trend, unfortunately. If you don't listen to it and talk about how awesome it is with all your friends, then how can you ever hang out with all the other cool kids in junior high? Looks like you missed out on hair bands, bubblegum pop, boybands, etc. If someone wanted to pretend to like something trendy, at least those had a good sound to them.

- KeepSwinging, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3his beats are really good, his rapping's crappy, his evil white conspiracy against all black people is ***** redicuous
- datdamonfoo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0He's a good rapper in that he's a creative one. He doesn't have the monotonous flow seen in other rappers, which can get boring quickly. 2Pac also had that wildly changing vocal, which was a strong point of his.
- Charleysancy, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2LOL @ 50 he didn't sell a lot of records
- apoc06, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i know plenty of "artists".... some whom you might consider more talented than both 50 cent and kanye west combined. these "great" artists never go gold, let alone in the first week.
make no mistake, selling 600k albums in only one week is still a whole lot of cds.

- FishHammer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10well considering it took me all of 5 seconds to click>post, yeah thats pretty much what happened
- datdamonfoo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0So why not do that for every other article on digg? Someone's not being honest.

- GeneralFailure0, on 10/10/2007, -5/+30"'Cuz it isn't about the record sales," he said. "I'd rather sell, you know, 500,000 records to people who listen to them every single day of their life than a million records to people who didn't listen at all."
Who listens to the same album every day of their life? Especially a Kanye West Album. Also, why would a million people buy an album and not listen to it? I'm beginning to fear Kanye West does not always think before he speaks.- bigtizzle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8You're just now beginning to fear that?
- cgeorge, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1If you couldn't tell he was speaking in hypotheticals, you are a bigger idiot than Kanye is.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I can tell it's hypothetical, but it's still stupid.
- datdamonfoo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Back pedal faster! FASTER!
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I can tell it's hypothetical, but it's still stupid.
- JoshinJosh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0hypothetical or not.. It's a lie.. the way he bitched and whined after the VMA's about not winning so much.. he would care if he only sold 500,000 records. I use to think Kanye's music but his attitude really burnt me out on his music.
- spenserXcore, on 10/10/2007, -7/+6here the video the them fighting at a club in LA. It started when 50 called him a bitch.

- Kaervek, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5I actually just wanted to see two guys in general shoot each other. The black thing, I suppose, would just be a bonus? Why do I have to be racist to enjoy a little dramatic violence from the safety of my sofa?

- tracker198x, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2tired of violence oriented crap music. angry people listen to rap which in turn makes you angrier. its true. intelligent and classy people, like myself, listen to mozart and frank sinatra. oh johnny cash too.
- rush378, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Are you really that arrogant and stupid?
- KidDynamo0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Maybe he never actually listened to "A boy named Sue." This person is either incredible dumb or retarded.
- tracker198x, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1actually i am smarter than the both of you put together. you digg me down and defend trash ghetto music over classical and classic music, then have the nerve to call me stupid/dumb/retarded? get real. classical music stimulates neuronal activity, rap music promotes violence. all of the columbine trash killers listened to rap. i used to listen to rap when i was an angry kid, it helps perpetuate the angry feelings inside of you and makes you aggressive. it is primitive music for immature people.

You're no musical connoisseur if you can't even appreciate more than one form of music.

What ever happened to street cred?- kronix2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He reminds me of OG Loc from GTA: San Andreas.
- mbelleghem, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6"What ever happened to street cred?"
If street cred got replaced by talent, would that be a bad thing? Just sayin'... - skinny01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0He never claimed he was anything other than himself. What about street cred? Who says you need to continue to push the stereotype to be a rapper? Who says to be a rapper you have to appeal to the street? If you are an italian boxer do you have no cred because you don't act like a mafia thug?
- cocacolea, on 10/10/2007, -8/+3clearly you lack the facilities to judge this type music. I understand why you don't like it, no one has told you should that should yet. you'll be on his dees soon enough. it's so easy to criticize especially when you don't know the first thing about hip hop. you smell like sheep.
- mtxrawkus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1HAHAHA! WHAT?! Hey, wanna borrow my Shift key?
- urbandistrict, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wow...stupid stupitons. It's been widely advertised as a ploy.
I truly thought they didn't dup anyone until I read this posting. - digggggggggggg, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11I love the latent racism that hangs over every digg story that has anything to do with hip hop.
- Jonjonr6, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And I was hoping 50 would actually live up to the bet and go away, or just produce, or whatever.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Perhaps by "retire" he meant "go to bed".
- Bamont, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Sorry, I tried to concentrate, but every time I tried reading the article all I could see was Kanye going, "I'm Jesus."
- SomeguyUK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1best.comment.ever.
- strum40, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7We Don't Care, one day they're both going to be Gone anyways. Fifty Cent is the bigger idiot though, I Heard Em' Say that he was going to quit rapping if he sold less than Kanye. Kanye came out on top with the Stronger album. As far as I'm concerned they should both quit, they each have enough in the Piggy Bank to live off of. If they gave Just a Lil' bit away they could send tons of people Straight to the Bank or even just the Candy Shop.
- TheWorm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He just doesn't get it. They don't care about this superflous rap battle. They just want you to sell records for them so they make lots of money.
- wingo123, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I don't get the new K. West single. It's basically a direct/extended sample of Daft Punk, with him rapping over it. Daft Punk is samples of disco music. Is this what passes for original music these days? I've got nothing against creative use of sampling/samplers (I do it a bit myself), but this just seems a little ridiculous. It's crazy that we've finally gotten to this level of convolution... A new hit song is a sample of a slightly older hit song which is made of samples of even older hit songs... When will it end?
- KidDynamo0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1well other artist are doing the same, so you sadlt should not be surprised.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12017. So it is writ in the prophecy.
- TheWorm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well, the worst part about it is most of my generation don't even recognize it as Daft Punk. I don't expect people who listen to top 40 to be music scholars but a little history would be nice.
- lbrown13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I wonder how long it will take people to realize that they
are making fools out their fans. If I were a fan and realized
that, I would be pissed.- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If you were really, truly fooled by that you must be operating on a whole different level. I don't think there would be much chance of realization somehow.
- leethefilmer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6***** Kanye West.
- S2ThaNizzle, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8You guys can say whatever you want about either of those two's music, since I doubt most of you even bother to listen to them, but being able to sell over 950k in a week is pretty damn impressive no matter how you spin it, especially nowadays.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I agree, it's damn impressive. That's a whole lot of records. Well played I must say.
- fegul, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Music is a matter of taste. If you don't like it, wonderful, don't listen to it. If you do like it, enjoy it. It's comical how so many people feel the need to criticize a genre they don't listen to (you guys don't listen to it do you?) Also, gangsta rap is only one sub-genre of a much larger one. Try listening to Common or Talib.
- deejqu1k, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Man as long as he seperates the black from the white man from the asian man, he will be oppressed. He will continue to look like an idiot and I will continue to steal their music. Define yourself as an individual and a human being, not a black human being.
- fegul, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Unfortunately, there is a difference (economic, politically, and socially) in this country between being an "individual" (race is inherently assumed with that term) and being a black individual. As long as that difference exists, the most accurate definition is a black individual. Once that difference ceases to exists will that kind of definition become obsolete.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What will make you stop stealing music? (Genuine question)
- turrican, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What's there to analyze? All that's going on here is a little bit of marketing genius.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Weird. "what they got was 2 black guys selling a lot of records"
Yeah, I think that was the idea wasn't it?
It's looking like the only two people who never realized that this whole thing is theater are Kanye and Fitty. - jellygraph, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5i kind of lost respect for west after i read this... generate controversy and a publicity stunt, and then point your finger to the race card? come on... just admit it. you wanted it for $$$money$$$. race had nothing to do with it. just some idiotic justification.
- neodorian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Competing to see who is the biggest hack?
- Steaminx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2First, everyone knows you hardly make any money on album sales. You make the majority of your money in concerts and appearances. Second, don't judge music you only hear your friends talking about. Maybe if you took 2 minutes away from cutting your wrists listening to your emo music, you would actually see that there is good in all music. Third, shut the hell up.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I hear this over and over about how no-one makes money from albums. It's not much, sure, and the mechanisms the industry has built up over the years are as corrupt as *****, sure, but do the maths on a million albums at any cut and it's a lot of money. Don't come crying to me if you spent it all before you got it, and don't come crying to me if you're dumb enough to let your label talk you into spending a million on a video. It's still a lot of money.
The fact is that most artists don't make much from albums OR gigs. For years and years artists have been told not to worry about losing money on tour, they'll make it back in album sales. Now all they hear is the reverse. And for most artists NEITHER is true.

De La Soul,

and that goes for you too bush!- SomeguyUK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This comment was illogical, enforced racial stereotypes, was badly worded and used bad grammar.How fitting when you're commenting on an article about two rappers.
- UnkelJethro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0"Shootin' each other" is a theme that they started to sell records. Now he poses as a victim. Brilliant.

- Gloogle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's crazy I actually started making beats the same way he did, I started programing games and making music for them. I ended up being better at making music than coding, mapping, or modelling.
- mbelleghem, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"He slowly started to produce rap beats for amateur talent shows at his middle school, and soon he saved up enough allowance to buy a sampler, a piece of hardware that influences his unique style to this day."
[...]
"The "sampling" technique alters the vocal sections from other music, usually soul and R&B, and then incorporates other instruments."
I love it when journos don't bother to do their homework on tech stuff. What on earth you doing writing about mainstream hip hop acts for a national network if you don't know what a freaking sampler is, Mr. Eric Johnson?

- I’m getting really tired of these people who say there getting put down or treated differently because of the colour of there skin and in the same breath label themselves as "blacks" and lower there self worth when they talk about shooting each other.
GROW THE F*CK UP AND STOP CONTRADICTING YOURSELVES BECAUSE YOUR CONTINUING THE BAD STEREOTYPE - Lookie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Kayne West hates white people!

i hate snow monkeys - n0gnuz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3"50 Cent" isn't an artist, he's a studio creation -- an entertainment product. Kanye is a racist egomaniac. Both do karaoke over CDs in the live performances. This is likely a manufactured feud designed to sell records to a clueless fan base that just wants to fit in and be seen listening to whatever is being heavily promoted by the companies that own both the record labels and the radio/video networks.
That anyone would stoop to defend either of these clowns just shows how low the standards are for rap and R&B. - Gella321, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Aesop Rock and EL-P FTW!
- EmilyHanesNYC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0"I use to think Kanye's music but his attitude really burnt me out on his music."
-- I hear a lot of this. But I feel he is being humble in his album... I mean really... Is it possible not to care about his attitude and just listen to the music?! - ChineseRoom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Common could beat the ***** outta this two of them any day of the week.
