ANOTHER 50 CENT/KANYE WEST ALBUM SHOWDOWN?: Rappers to release new projects one week apart in Dec.
*After mocking Kanye West's new single "Love Lockdown" during a concert, 50 Cent has thrown down the gauntlet again and challenged West to another friendly sales competition between their respective new albums.
Interscope has confirmed that 50's "Before I Self Destruct" will arrive Dec. 9, while West's "808's and Heartbreak" is due Dec. 16 via Def Jam.
In a well-publicized album showdown last year on Sept. 11, West's "Graduation" easily outsold 50's "Curtis" during both sets' first official week on the street.
In addition to 50 Cent poking fun at West during a recent gig in Albany, N.Y., his G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo pretended to smash a camera, referring to West's recent arrest after a dustup with paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport.
West responded Friday to the 50 Cent noise via his blog, writing: "While approving the final cut for the 'Love Lockdown' vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago. I'm very excited about the everything ... I guarantee this will be 50's favorite album of mine. This will be gangster's album of the year."
