50 Pence vs Kanye West

So pistols are drawn and honeyz are waiting in the Bentley for the biggest chart head to head since Oasis vs. Blur 12 years ago.

Yes that’s right amigos 50 pence and potentially the most arrogant man in music, Kanye "My album is the pinnacle of what music is at that time" West.

According to early sales figures, West's third album could end up on top of the charts in both the US and the UK this weekend. Billboard, has indicated that executives from three of the major American labels project that, based on first-day sales, West's album will sell 575,000 to 700,000 copies this week in the States, with 50 Cent's album likely to shift only 500,000 to 600,000 (G-)units during the same period.

Rather funnily Rolling Stone magazine conducted a highly scientific exit poll of hip hop fans at a New York Virgin records store yesterday in which 31 customers had purchased Graduation and 14 had bought Curtis.

So the clever mans money is on West. How utterly depressing! Please, please let me get what I want…and I want 50 pence to win! In fact I can barely contain my excitement…roll on Sunday.

West has courted the media over the past few days jumping on every media bandwagon he can – the Britney/VMA fiasco - "Man, they were trying to get ratings. They knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her" to his own humiliation at not winning a single award despite 5 nominations - "That's two years in a row man. Give a black man a chance. I'm trying hard, man. I have the... No 1 record man."

Ooops I think I just slipped over in my own vomit.
