50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West | ajc.com

50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West | ajc.com: "50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West

NEW YORK — Rap feuds aren't usually about differing opinions on President Bush. However, that appears to be the case between 50 Cent and Kanye West."

Okay, this is ridiculous. The media is trying to create a feud where no logical feud exists. 50 cent (whom I dislike but more on that perhaps later) says that Hurricane Katrina was an act of God. Kanye West says dubya doesn't care about black people. What exactly do those two statements have to do with each other. 50 is talking about the hurricane, Kanye is talking about the relief effort....uh apples and oranges.

Then the fun begins when 50 says he is responsible for Kanye's success. Not necessarily feud material but it is a ludicrous assumption that folks were so tired of confrontational lyrics that they were looking for something different. However, many people, including myself, were tired of hearing 50's same ol, lame ol lyrics and style. Actually, for me anyway, to the point where I started listening to the Sirius Blues channel just to avoid 'the same ol' two step with a twist'....shot nine times, etc...

Anyway, back to the original point, for all the media claims to do that's helpful, they are the biggest propagator of divide and conquer....
