Seems like everyone is getting in on the hype between two of Hip Hop’s biggest rappers. From MTV, BET, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, and even Amazon.com are all contributing to the hype & debate over who will out sell the other.
Yesterday, on 106 & Park, 50 & Kanye both performed. Both giving great performances, but clearly Kanye shut it down while performing ‘Big Brother’, song tributing his relationship with Jay Z, and then Jay Z comes out singing ‘Encore’. Great moment. It made me feel like the fan that I am of both Kanye & Jay. The Roc was definitely in the building. Peep performance below
When asked why you should go out and get their albums each one had 10 sec to sell their album. From what the first day of sales show Kanye is in the lead with more than 850K, leading by more than 200K albums than 50. Hear their answers below
Yesterday, Amazon went ahead and even put up a bar graph to show the difference in sales percentage. See below
Today the top selling album is Graduation and in 3rd place is, Curtis.
I haven’t heard the full Curtis album yet, but I heard Graduation and it is a GREAT album. Lyrically and with musically, Kanye definitely showed us that he is not going anywhere any time soon and that he takes this music shit very seriously.
I would love to quote him on Champion, which is a hit song. Saying “Lauryn Hill said her heart was in Zion. I wish her heart still was in Rhyming” matching it with a sultry voice that I swore was Lauryn’s until you hear the woman sing the hook.
Then you have I Wonder, a jazz sound paired with a sick beat.
Good Life, I didn’t think this was a possiblity. T-Pain is my guilty pleasure artist. As much as I don’t want to like his music, I end up lovin all his songs from I’m Sprung to Bartender. And even Plies shit. Of course, you know I’m having this in Top Played List
Flashing Lights, 1 of the HOTTEST songs on the album. And definitely for the Chick getting ready for the club! Keepin’ your head boppin’ and your foot tappin
The Glory, sounds like a Jackson 5 track mixed with some gospel inspiration
I am not discriminating on the Curtis Album when i hear it I will give my mini reviews on certain songs. So don’t think I am bias… YET!
