Unless you've been living in a fox hole, you're prolly fully aware that both Kanye West and 50 Cent are releasing their next albums on the same day: September 11 (eek!) And while 50 ain't exactly known for being humble, he also hasn't talked too much smack about Kanye -- not nearly as much as Kanye's been talking about him. Of course, Kanye isn't exactly Mr. Modesty either, but we're surprised we haven't heard as much trash talkin' from 50. Maybe he's been too busy fighting off those pesky little Ciara rumors… or just too busy kickin' it with Ciara herself! (Couldja blame him?)
Anyway, Kanye told the host of a British talk show last week, "Please, 50, don't retire once my album sells and beats your album." But that was also after he said he wouldn't be upset if he were No. 2 to 50's No. 1 on the charts, and also after 50 freaked out (rightfully so) when his new material leaked online, claimed his album would beat Kanye's and then made the WTF assertion that comparing him to Kanye would be like comparing him to Michael Jackson. Uh…okay.
