50 Cent vs. Kanye West Part 2?

Wednesday September 17, 2008

Well, it looks we're going to witness another 50 Cent vs Kanye chart battle similar to 2007's Curtis vs. Graduation. As the world anxiously awaits the arrival of Kanye's 808 & Heartbreak LP, supposedly slated for December 16th, 50 Cent quickly announced that his own 4th album, Before I Self Destruct, will be dropping a week earlier on December 9th. But he didn't stop there.

50 went a step further by telling concertgoers at one his recent New York show that he was going to perform a new single from the album. Instead, Fif lunged into a mock performance of Kanye's "Love Lockdown." Desperate times, they say, call for desperate measures, and 50's desperately trying to propel his stagnated career with manufactured feuds. I doubt anyone still buys into his antics though. Watch the video below and let me know what you think. Photo © Kevin Winter/Getty Images
