50 Cent has recently stated that if Kanye West's new album performs better in sales than "Curtis", he will hang up his solo career.  Pretty nice stakes I'd say.  The monetary value is insane.  

If my opinion meant anything, I would have to

side with 50 Cent....even though he wouldn't sign "anything but a paycheck" when I saw him in the airport I worked in.  That's ok..I'm over all that.  I would side with 50 Cent either way.  I would rather have my ears cut off than listen to Kanye West.

FO SHO.
