pop-feuds music pictures Virgin Media

There have always been rivalries in hip hop and the latest entertaining rap spat involves rhyming heavyweights 50 Cent and Kanye West. Things hotted up when the pair announced their latest albums would be released on the same day - 11th September 2007. Fiddy soon claimed he would quit music altogether if West's Graduation album sold more than his own, entitled Curtis. The muscle-bound rapper went on to tell AllHipHop magazine: "It's a friendly feud but it's not possible for Kanye to beat me. It's the teddy bear versus the gorilla. Kanye sucks." Doesn't sound very friendly to us, Mr Cent.
