50 Cent appears to still be sore over losing to Kanye West during last year's "50 Cent Vs. Kanye West" release/sales battle. The "Curtis" rapper announced a December release date over the weekend while also making fun of Kanye's new single "Love Lockdown."
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.
Different strokes for different folks. 50 does need to grow up though - he's good in his own right - 2 different types of hip-hop coming from 2 different kinds of people and rappers! I like both of them!! he he he
