Kanye Vs. 50: Behind The Photo Shoot

With the Ali Vs. Frazier-esque Rolling Stone cover, the big hip hop showdown has come to its apex: Kanye and Curtis have, officially, milked this thing for all the publicity it's worth. But fear not, there's still some content to be drawn from this thing -- like this behind-the-scenes vid from the RS shoot. They're both pros about it, Curtis joking that 'Ye's just a prop in his photo shoot, that he's prettier (how Ali), etc. But still, you know Kanyego was burning up just a little the entire time those cams were running. And Joe Levy's like West's personal Mickey Goldmill! Why doesn't Mr. Cent get a corner guy? Probably 'cause Levy listened to Curtis.

Watch at Rolling Stone.

Has anyone listened to Curtis? How is it? I've never listened to any 50 Cent album, so I wouldn't really have a context to put it in. All I know is his promise to retire makes me want to buy 47 copies of Graduation.

I'm afraid Curtis is going to eat him, or at least nibble Kanye Tyson-style.

is this like the south park choice? giant douche or turd sandwich? really, why do we all fucking care? they are each going to sell a shit ton of records, each artists fans are going to say "that" record is the better one, the world keeps spinning. on top of that most of the 50 haters were probably all up on his tit the day he came out, and now that he is out of fashion, they jump to kamp kanye.
