Kanye Hangs up on Radio Host, Avoids Beef with 50 Cent

Monday August 7, 2006

Kanye West was interviewed by Hot 30 Countdown's host Lowie, but the hip-hop producer/emcee was not too pleased about certain 50 Cent-related questions. When West was asked how he felt about 50 Cent disrespecting him over this [in]famous Bush-bashing statement, he hesitated a bit before lunging into a 2-minute rant.

Was the interviewer trying to instigate some animosity between 50 Cent and Kanye West, or is Kanye scared of incurring 50's wrath?

Unlike 50 cent…Kanye does need need beef in order to sell records…his music speaks for itself!!!!!50 cent has based his career off of beef and it is getting really old!!!!!! I can’t wait until 9-11 because Kanye’s CD will better and he will sell more records.

(15) ....cm.... says:

Kanye is a grown man and is not trying to get caught up in Bullsh*t. Half dollar is running out of creativity and he has to start sh*t to get inspired. Like Jay-Z said “ya’ll respect the one who got shot, I respect the shooter”

You all need to learn to spell, and for a second thought; try and just listen to the music rather than biitch about it.

Peace, ya ‘tards. >.>
