    Well I consider myself a fan of both, but its not even close. In terms of who has made the better product. Thats really all that matters to me, F who sells the most.

    Just got graduation, to me its the best Kanye CD. I haven't heard Curtis and I don't plan on it eiher, no way 50 can even compare to Kanye on this one.

    I mean Skillz said it himself, he doesn't need the money anymore.</div></p>

    It's probably going to be one of those marketing techniques. 50 Cent is dead, but I will unretire and now start my career over by using my legal name Curtis Jackson.</p>

    didn't 50 already backtrack his comments? Either way both cds are amazing, I don't know why people hate on 50 so much, he makes good music hands down</p>

    I've become disillusioned with both quite honestly. </p>

    I think 50 Cent's Curtis is going to be a huge drop-off compared to his debut in 2003. </p>

    Graduation might become a classic, but I'm sick of Kanye West and the dumb shit he says in the media. Going back to the Bush-Katrina comments, to the Grammys, andup to his VMA crap. Enough already.</p>

    Talib's Eardrum is amazing, his best cd since Reflection Eternal and BlackStar IMO.About Ye's and 50s new albums, I downloaded both to sample them out and Kanyes is really the better of the two while I was struggling to like Curtis but just couldnt do it. Either way I still believe Curtis will outsell Graduation due to his large fanbase, not becuase its a better LP.</p>

    Graduation is outselling Curtis right now. Hopefully it stays that way.

    I got Curits off of ITunes and there are some good tracks..if only the guy had some skill he'd be incredible because the beats Dre and Em gave him on this album are insane. I think My Gun go Off is the ebst track behind I get Money. Graduation is still a lot better IMO.</p>

    You guys are overating Graduation big time. </p>

    There are about 4-5 good tracks. The filler tracks aren't particularly great, or memorable. I'm disappointed. </p>

    Big Brother, I wonder, Stronger, Can't Tell Me Nothing, and Barry Bonds are all good.

    50 without even trying to be the best, is the best out there. </p>

    I had some respect for kanye, but after seeing what he did at vma's, he lost my respect. </p>

    Thats the thing, what filler? Filler is when you got an album in the high teens and twenties with songs that get repetitive...which isn't the case with this album, at least in my opinion. </p>

    ....not a chance.</p>

    I'll take Kanye, Hov, Nas, Game, T.I. all over 50 easily.</p>

    EWWWWW. Barry Bonds is the worst track on that cd. Flashing Lights, everything, the glory, and good mourning are the best tracks</p>
