Kanye West says 50 Cent album rivalry is positive, but Justin Timberlake is his real competition
Hip-Hop/Rapper Kanye West may have insisted that the rivalry between himself and fellow rapper 50 Cent is positive for both of them, but his real competition is R&B/Pop singer Justin Timberlake, Kanye told XXL magazine in its October issue. Kanye West, who is at the top of the UK singles chart with ‘Stronger’, said Justin Timberlake is his “biggest inspiration and biggest competition” and also is “the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level — black radio, white radio.” It seems the XXL issue is due to hit stores on September 11, the same day West’s album “Graduation” and 50 Cent’s “Curtis” will unveil their albums.
It’s a good thing that 50 Cent and me are coming out at the same [time] - I think we both up’d our game because of it.
