Will 50 Cent Have To Quit The Music Business?

Rap rivals Fifty Cent and Kanye West both have albums debuting on the same day next month, and 50 Cent is so sure his will outperform Kanye’s that he’s vowed to quit making albums if it doesn’t.

The two have long competed, but Fitty upped the ante yesterday when he swore to hang up his mike if his CD “Curtis” didn’t outsell West’s “Graduation.”

Fitty blasted it out over sohh.com, knowing the hip-hop site gets 4.5 million visitors monthly - many of them teen record buyers.

“Let’s raise the stakes,” said the Queens-born rapper, whose given name is Curtis Jackson 3rd. “If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer [perform] music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.”

“They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem,” Fitty mused to sohh’s Carl Chery, “because I’ve worked myself into a space where I’ve become the favorite. Everybody roots [for] the underdog when he goes against the favorite.

Last week, Fitty - who has his own label, G-Unit Records - accepted an offer from BET of a debate with Kanye to be televised on the network; in it, the two would decide which had the better-produced record. “I accept the challenge,” Fitty said on BET’s “106 & Park.” “Kanye, he’s not going to want to show up.” “What am I going to debate about?” West asked reporters at the MTV Video Music Award nominations Tuesday. “I thought [the debate] was the stupidest thing. When my album drops and Fifty’s album drops, you’re going to get a lot of good music at the same time.”

Jesus, they’re talking about holding a debate? Tupac must be rolling over in his grave right about now. I’m glad that everyone is dialing back on the cold-blooded murder and all, but this is getting a bit too genteel. The logical next step would be to calmly discuss rivalries over a game of golf, or possibly a nice slice of pie. It’s kind of sad when you make Vanilla Ice look like Don Corleone.
