♥ kanye v. 50: a battle of suck.
It seems to me that the two really couldn't be competing over anything else. 50-Cent has gross tattoos and bad teeth. He is only moderately talented. Kanye West, on the other hand, is an arrogant bastard. Nobody's going to be the next Dr. Dre. Why bother? In any case, I've laid out a comprehensive study guide for my readers closely following the feud:
Who's on first: Fitty's first hit was in 2003: the unbelieveably unmelodious, not to mention grammatically incorrect, In Da Club. West followed just a year later with the egocentric Jesus Walks. Both albums sucked royally, but 50 gets points for being first on the scene.
Who's more badass: 50's 15-year-old crack whore mother (no joke on this one) gave birth to him, in Queens, no less, out of wedlock. She is now dead. He earned is GED while in jail, presumably for drug charges. Shot nine times while leaving his grandmother's house. The biggest blight on West's essentially perfect childhood is his parents' divorce when he was three. He also had a car accident in 2002. Um... 50 gets this one too.
Who's a bigger asshole: 50 won't rap live. That's lame. West, on the other hand, made a complete moron of himself at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards by basically throwing a tantrum because he didn't win. As lame as it is that 50 shares a major music trait with the notorious Ashlee Simpson, at least he's not a whiney baby.
There really can be no winners here.
