50 Cent Thinks Of Himself As A Modern Day King of Pop

If you follow this logic, which you really shouldn't do, Kanye West is as big of a threat to 50 Cent's record sales as 50 would be to Michael Jackson's (in the Thriller days). See, I told you not to follow his logic.

From MTV.com:

"Look at how you're talking to me, like Kanye West is my equal right now," 50 said, launching into a rather imprecise comparison. "That's like me putting myself against Michael Jackson's [album-release] date and then acting like, 'Woah, it's a battle between 50 Cent and Michael Jackson!', when Thriller sold 30 million records and 50 Cent's biggest album sold 12 [million], you feel what I'm saying?

"Don't get lost in the hype," he continued. "I got the right records, so we're gonna sit here and I'll see you next time. Maybe next time they can send me off to the pastures. But right now, I'm gonna stick around and sell this record — and I will be #1 on September 11."

That ugly bastard has clearly lost his mind. It's sad to see the demise of a rabbit-faced man.

50 chucks and jives for sales. He maintains a perception of black that is comforting to his young white audience.

I don't love Kanye but I respect his ability to experience bouts of verbal diarrhea even if it makes said white audience angry or uncomfortable. Uppitiness is very threatening.

[...] If Kanye West is the new Michael Jackson and 50 Cent says Michael Jackson could sell more records than him, where does that leave the September 11 battle? [...]
