I heard him perform on The Video music awards... on mtv.. and if his album is anything like that song i heard.. then his album SUCKS... his hip hop songs are soo boring.... my goosh... i remember during 1997-2001 when rap had lots of great songs... diddy more money more problems, jay-z can i get a... and big pimping... excuse me miss, just so many decent rap songs...

im sorry but Kanye west makes extremely boring songs... I don't care how great his lyrics are... HE can't make a non-rap fan like me.. like his music....
(when a rapper can make a song that makes everyone like it.. then thats a decent song)

when I actually like a rap song... i know its good... i remember 50 cen'ts first album... even my mom liked some of his songs....
now all his music.. from the clips i hear on commericals.. it all sounds the same.. and blain....

Kanye west music is so stupid.... Gold digger and through the wire... those songs are so weak... i bet in 10 years people are going to remember them...


Diddy sucks. Kanye rocks.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

If those two promise to both retire and never do another project again if Chesney beats them in sales, I'd drive to Nashville and buy a country album myself!


Me too!!!

I was at a Target in Hollywood yesterday and Kenny Chesney was outselling 50 and Kanye...in HOLLYWOOD!!!! Target does have a special exclusive 'fan pack' on Kenny's album so that's probably why but...I was still pleasantly surprised.

How much would you bet that Kanye will play the race card if Kenny Chesney indeed hits #1 !!!! OMG...he might just explode!

...


Kenny Chesney is a dork. I would rather listen to a country album by lionel
richie than to listen to this clown sing. And lionel can get country on your ass. Wasn't there a story a couple of years ago about kenny's ex wife leaving him because she felt he was gay. I doubt if kanye would have to bother playing the race card behind kenny chesney but he did so appropriately during the hurricane katrina fiasco.

And you are trying to tell me babygirl that diddy never samples. Shit diddy don't just sample, he actually rapes the song he borrows from. At least when kanye samples he does it cleverly and the samples aren't easily recognizable.
Like diddy on faith's never knew love like this. The sample from chic's chic cheer is so easily recognizable it is a shame. I can understand kanye is not for everybody but damn diddy doesn't even belong on a stage with MC hammer and that is how wack diddy is.

GO WEST YOUNG MAN

Kanye’s Opening Week of 800k+ Will Be Biggest in Two Years, 50 Cent at 600k, Kenny Chesney 450k

September 12, 2007

School may have just started, but Kanye West’s Graduation has come just in time for the beleaguered music biz.
Following one of the worst weeks in the history of album sales comes one of the liveliest, and boy was it needed.

Thanks to a record-shattering first day at iTunes and traditional retail (where it reportedly sold more than 435k), IDJ artist West will debut at #1 on next Tuesday’s HITS Top 50 Album Chart, easily surpassing 800k in sales.

That would more than top Linkin Park’s previous one-week high of 625k set in May and Rascal Flatts’ 2006 high of 722k. In fact, it would be the biggest sales debut since West’s last album Late Registration bowed in August 2005 with 860k.

Shady/Aftermath/Interscope rapper 50 Cent, who has loudly declared he’d retire if West’s album sold more than his, better start boning up on his golf game, because Curtis will land at #2 with a still-impressive 600k, plus or minus.

Kenny Chesney will have to settle for third place with his new album Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates on SBMG Nashville, which will bow at #3 with around 450k.

The only other album of note to hit retail is the latest edition of the Gray’s Anatomy soundtrack from Disney's Hollywood Records.

The market was down a little less than 4% vs last week, down about 23% vs same week last year and now down 14.5% year-to-date.

I remember at the 2004 AMA's Kanye lost Best New Artist to Gretchen Wilson (whose'Here For The Party' album sold double Kanye's debut) and he called her something really rude, cant remember but it was something redneck-y like 'bull' or something. He later apologized.

Having said that he would've said something about KC...but he wont have to since it looks like he has the #1 album next week...
Every minute of last night is on my face today....

hey mister... im NOT comparing Diddy to Kanye.. because Right now puff daddy isn't making any great songs either.. but during his bad boy reign during the 90's he had some of the best rap songs on the radio.... NOW he sucks...

but im comparing his Old music to Kanye west's music now...

Im saying that Kanye is just as chessy as puff daddy.. maybe more.. because kanye west is trying to dress like Michael Jackson.... and he's into fashion.. and thast NOT cute for any rapper to be that way....

It was for Andre 3000...and he is obviously much more creative, not afraid to take risks and helped sell Love Below more than Speakerboxx.

Samee thing with Kanye..not afraid.

Puffy is one of the MAIN ONES that was in2 fashion and still is 2day. Have u watche dMaking The Band? If they didnt have an S-Curl or a low fade they werent even going to be part of the group! I wanna add that Puffy made a #1 hit this year being different "Last Night" feat. Keysha Cole. It was different than any rap artist's song on the radio...then Timbo broke out with "The Way I Are". People are branching out more...being original...I appreciate it more than sampling "Ill Be Missing You" ill or "Im Coming Out" or countless other songs Puffy ampled in the past.

Kanye does sample but it is not a song everyone knows..and he chops and splits it up so it's sometimes unrecognizeable at first.

I'd rather see him on TV than 50 though. Imagine if 50 said "Bush does not like black people" how different things would have been?

Im glad Kanye sets himself apart from trying to look like a thug. A white lady told me once that yes..she is scared when she sees people dressed like that, and I understood her. Why should every rapper look the same? Would Prince be Prince if he looked like Bruce Springsteen in 1984?

when he first came out.. he did NOT dress like a thugh.. he had a normal nice etire... now he's dresses like a character.. and its NOT cute... I never said kanye had to dress like a thug... i don't like when guys dress like that.. its not cute either.. and especailly a guy who can't speak correct english.... such a turn off

Good. 50's album is trash. Kanye's is at least listenable.

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart
