kanye vs 50

"Nearly every song on “Graduation” is memorable for both its hooks and its overall sound."

they are right about the album when they say he talks about himself a lot. but, they are wrong in saying it is not great. this album is excellent. i feared when i saw a track with chris martin, (because of the disaster on the jay-z album) but the track is good. drunk and hot girls threw me off on first listen but now i love it. kanye has a winner here.

50 on the other hand has a terrible album. all he says is "i got guns, i'll kill you" on the whole album. it lacks soul. most of the beats are boring.

i think the september 11 record sales battle will be very close.
