50 Cent or Kanye West?

[SirBiatch]

I'm not talking about Kanye West the producer. Tracks he did for Jigga, Nas, etc.

Let's compare the material they released as rap artists.

My all-time favorite joints from each.

50 Cent:
at least half of GRODT
I Don't Need Em
I Get Money
Gunz 4 Sale
Thug Love
How To Rob
Rowdy Rowdy

Kanye West:
Good Morning (imo, Kanye's best song ever)
Family Business


So 50 Cent wins by a lot. Most of it has to do with beat selection and voice. When 50 rhymes, I feel him. He comes from a place of bravado and strength. I can relate. When Kanye raps, I get bored. It's not hard enough. I can rap along to "Wanksta" and a lot of 50's dope shyt word for word. But Ye? Nah. Something about his music doesn't move me like that.

Who do you side with? Who's got more tracks that you FEEL?

sensitive post aside, care to list your favorite Ye tracks or explain why you think Ye is better? You're welcome to think Ye's better. This thread was made to promote discussion and sharing, not dikkride and throw pointless jabs.

Thru the wire
Touch the sky
Addiction
Diamonds from Sierra
Champion
I wonder
Good life
Can't tell me nothing
Everything I am
Big brother
808s and heartbreak (entirely)
Power
Devil in a new dress
Gorgeous
Blame game
Hell of a life
New slaves
I am a god

props on the tracklisting. Had you posted that with your initial "bum ass nikkas" comments I wouldn't have said shyt. I could care less what you think of 50 fans to be honest. And there's some truth to them being bum ass nikkas and wiggers.

Just like Ye makes music for culture vultures, hipsters and hip hop wannabe-be-downs who want their hip hop to sound like the prog rock they grew up on. Extra points for it being glossy, non-struggle-based, non-threatening and without the smelly hood people who created the culture to begin with.

i'd rather listen to kanye music

Kanye is a better artist with a better discography, I wouldn't argue against anyone putting him over 50, but I've probably enjoyed more 50 music over the years. POD, GRODT, The Massacre + All the mixtapes. On the other hand Kanye's music has way more longevity to me, I haven't listened to any post GRODT shyt for years & I doubt most people are.
