Kanye West Nominated for 5 VMAs, 50 Cent Left Out

Thursday August 9, 2007

The real race this year is between Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, each with seven nominations, but Kanye West held it down for hip-hop with a whopping 5 nominations. Kanye's "Stronger" was nominated for Video of the Year and Best Editing in a Video. He's also up against T.I. for Male Artist of the Year and Jay-Z for Quadruple Threat of the Year.

Unfortunately for fans of G-Unit, 50 Cent was completely shut out of the awards this year.

50 cent is way better than kanye and if u think kanye is better, then you are out of yo damn mind. If you like kanye more then you are a retart and you don’t know anything about music.

anyone who likes kanye are retarts. 50 cent can beat up kanye. 50 cent is better than kanye so if you idiots think kanye is better, that means you dont listen to music.

(10) tired of u says:

You people are all morons. Please learn to spell and use punctuation before spouting stupidity at others. And, as far and Kanya West goes, he’s a tool. Anyone who is twenty something years old and still feels the need to play victim for every issue in his life really just needs a reality check. It seems to me that he is the biggest racist of all. It’s just a little last century to blame EVERYTHING on the white man. Grow up and take some responsibility in your own life.
