Kanye West has joined 50 Cent on the publicity train. And we all knew he would — I believe the Rolling Stone cover is case in point. He’s finally agreed to a “debate” with 50 Cent on BET next Tuesday, when both of their albums come out.

Terrence and Rocsi will host a “battle” during the show, where 50 Cent will perform singles from his upcoming album Curtis, while Kanye West will perform songs from his upcoming effort, Graduation.

ESPN’s Stuart Scott will deliver commentary and a statistical breakdown of both 50 Cent and Kanye West.

“How could I not come to 106 & PARK on the day my album comes out? I’m definitely coming,” West stated, while 50 Cent said ominously: “Just make sure that Kanye West shows up.”

The more publicity stunt-ish this little competition gets the more tiresome it becomes. My Team Kanye enthusiasm has weakened considerably.

Team Kenny Chesney!

[AHH]

I can just imagine how boring/cheesy it will be now.

Ya know I guess the bright side is at least we are talking about hip hop in a somewhat positive light. Everyone says hip hop is dead, but a lot of buzz has been created by these two dudes -so that’s good.

MTV is almost as irrelevant as BET so does this matter? Nope.

They need to nick name Curtis somethin’ like
“The Deli Man” cos every new cut, comes wit beef. But it keeps his name in peoples minds. He appears to be a thug, but that’s because folks aren’t aware of his shrewd business tactics. The brother is a one man street team for his every business venture.
