Kanye Leads 50

In the battle of rap stars, Kanye West’s Graduation is leading 50 Cent’s Curtis in first week sales. But each respective album is trailing sales of their previous releases, Late Registration for West and The Massacre for 50.

Will 50 Cent really retire his solo rap career if outsold by Kanye? Or will Britney Spears (and MTV) be the savior of rap music?
