So 50 retires if Kanye's Graduation outsells 50's Curtis Jackson. It's on! Or something. So who wins this heavyweight hip-hop dope-rhyming showdown? The tale of the tape:

Why Kanye earns his scholarship

-Fresh, banging production
-Let's his beats ride
-Classy sampling
-Catchy stuff throughout
-“Flashing Lights"

Why Kanye heads South

-Still whines about school
-Voice sounds like a 14 year old while whining about school
-Gets owned by a pair of French robots on his own track
-Corny stuff throughout
-"Can't Tell Me Nothing"

50: Dollar's half-full

-Intimidation factor
-He eats guns in the CD booklet
-Reads the NY Post
-Toilet Humour
-“I Still Kill"

50: No more than five dimes

-Un-fresh, familiar production
-Still whines about guns and money
-Voice sounds bored while whining about guns and money
-Gets owned by Akon on his own track
-Includes a sound clip from “The Boondock Saints”... are you kidding me?

So on the strength of actual music and a slightly more interesting theme, Kanye's Graduation dodges bullets, empty threats, and boring beats. Curtis Jackson should start looking for homes in Florida.
