Hip Hop got a little broader now that Kanye West has entered the game. Anyone can tell you that with the unmistakable voice and beats of the Chicago kid. With three consecutive albums that have had a song go number one, at least. Not only has he grown but he has gone with the theme of school, college dropout, late registration, and graduation. Pretty much he runs the hip hop (not rap) game everytime he drops an album. With his unmerciful lyrics and views kayne shakes the world with different aspects of life. Not everything is about money and sex but it goes deeper, yeah he talks about it but its not just that, it goes into specifics about that certain topic. His perseverence goes above and beyond, I mean he made a song with a jar wired shut (Through the Wire). He is a genius with the type of music he does and with the gospel backround brings a breathe of fresh air to the hip hop world. We will see bigger and better things with Kanye, I mean he showing his Stronger side now.
What you thought that was it?
Curtis Jackson AKA 50 Cent has forged a million dollar luxury lifestyle for himself and there isnt very many people who dont know his name. From the streets to the riches 50 makes music about his admirable path to stardom, But that is about it other than the extremely sexual fantasies that people dream about, in which he has probably done! There is no variety it is either sex, money or murder. 50 nonetheless has had an impact on the music world with his story, shot 9 times and still living and breathing! Amazing right, but all that is over and done with, move on! His beats are decent and his vocals are just okay but the lyrics are what really slows him down. I could tell you what his next song will be without even listening to it. I am saying that 50 was fresh, now he is losing it. I wish we could go back to Da Club when 50 was still on top. It is die trying if you ask me!
So on a recap I will say that hands down the Gospel out of Chi wins this heavyweight matchup for who is the best! Not only is Kanye more diverse in his music but he can connect with the people and if you want to make the big time you need fans and that is what Kanye does he makes beats and songs that people can relate to. Be what it is, but last time I checked I think Kanye was running the charts and beating 50's album. Also this just in I was reading and 50 stated that if Kanye beat him on whose record sold more that he would quit the business. Kanye said that isnt what he wanted but if he wanted to go to the streets again then more power to him! I guess 50 might die trying to sell records or just buy all of them himself.

Well as a little bit of news, Mr. Jackson has actually been able to out sell Mr. West in Europe, which might allude to the fact that the Europeans have a thing for the American "gangster" life. But do you really expect 50 to change up his style? The old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Fits in perfectly here because of the massive fan base he has gotten from his repetitive lyrics and club anthems. If he were to go a completely different direction and possibly produce an experimental album in which his tracks are more introspective and have a deeper meaning, he would simply not sell albums. The plain and simple truth is that now a days the hip hop game has come down to a simple formula which is take one part money, one part women, two parts violence, shake lightly, and pour over ice. It's all too common and there are only a few lyricists that break the mold, Kanye being one of them.
