**EDIT**
apparently 50 has realized what an arse he is..so he's tryna back pedal on his boast:
QUOTE
On another note, "Nervous Curtis" admitted that Kanye is better than him should he outsell him next month. "That means he delivered the material that generated more interest than 50 Cent," Fif explained about hypothetically coming in second. "That means he did a better job than me on his album if he sells more. Just like I feel like I'm better than him and when my record comes out it will be a direct indication of that." Poor Fif! He's looking pretty nervous these days. Maybe he's realizing that even some of his peers think Kanye will outsell him.

he knows that more people are going to get Kanye's album for one of two reasons 1. because they simply like Kanye better or 2. just to spite 50 lol

50 Cent recently bet his career as a rapper that he'd outsell Kanye West when their albums drop next month.
Despite holding a more successful track record, skeptics are questioning whether 50 Cent's Curtis will outsell Kanye West's Graduation come September 11. Ask 50 and he'll tell you there's no way he'll come in second. In fact, he's ready to wager his career on it.
"They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem because I've worked myself into a space where I've become the favorite," Fif told SOHH. "Everybody roots against the underdog when he goes against the favorite.
"Put it like this," 50 continued. "Let's raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums.
"And I bet this, when Kanye West's sales come in, he's gonna have a 70% decrease [the second week] 'cause Def Jam is gonna buy records to keep him closer to 50 Cent," the Queens rapper added. "So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his @#* drop off the planet. We keep our angles covered before we make a decent bet."
As previously reported, the two superstars spent time in the studio together working on Fif's LP, but SOHH has learned that the material they worked on isn't scheduled to appear on the album's final version.
"We worked together on an actual record to try and create something," 50 said. "I went in with Kanye, I went in with Swizz Beatz, I went in with will.i.am, I went in with Polow [Da Don] just to see if they had something that I didn't, to create a new direction for me that I couldn't get my hands on. I mean these guys are popular producers [and] have a higher consistency than a guy that's unknown, but a lot of times they may have music planned that doesn't fit the project that you're working on."

MY OPINION:
---puhlease! he's so annoying and ignorant....i was gonna buy Kanye's album anyway, but this is all the more motivation. HE IRKS ME SO!
his ''bully'' act is getting real lame. he's cocky for no reason and he certainly isn't a good rapper. i mean Kanye is cocky and egotistical as well, but at least he makes good music to back it up. and that crack about Def Jam buying Kanye's records so he can be on top..uh more like Interscope and Shady Records will be buying 50's ....as you can see, 50 has put out singles that didn't get a lot of buzz... and Kanye's Stronger is EVERYWHERE.
they both sampled fly 80s songs(50=Audio Two/Kanye=Daft Punk), but Kanye's is WAY better..and i'm not even into hip hop like that....but i say everybody buy Kanye's Album (scheduled to drop the same day as 50's which is SEPT.11) just so 50 will stop putting out Ignorant Black Music.
?) whereas 50's is just...Mainstream rap that's meant to sell.
