In an effort to shift the nation’s focus from memorial-related grief over the 9/11 Twin Towers attack, 50 Cent has thrown down the gauntlet on that other tower of rap music, Kanye West. Both artists have new releases planned for 9/11/07, and Cent has said that he will retire from solo performances and recordings should his album not sell as many copies as West’s. A spokesperson for Cent, who’s real name is Curtis something, confirmed the artist’s true intent of this throwdown, “It’s about helping the nation move on.”
In other news you’ve already heard, Factory Records and Hacienda founder Tony Wilson died. The Manchester scenemaker was 57. He was a great man.
