Performing live in Albany, New York, Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent performed the first verse of West's "Love Lockdown" before cutting the song short to say "That's what ya'll are left with, I'll forgive ya'll for that one" said the rapper who was clearly referencing their sales battle last year.

 

At this time Fifty and Kanye's release dates do not match up as 50 Cent's new album "Before I Self Destruct" is due December 9th, while West's album 808's & Heartbreak is reportedly set for December 16th. As with many release dates this year, the dates are tentative and are likely to change.

 

"Before I Self Destruct" is expected to be 50 Cent's last album which the rapper proclaimed just prior to releasing "Curtis" last year.

 

50 Cent is expected to release his lead single within weeks.
