Kanye West To Be Part Of Michael Jackson’s Comeback Album
Kanye West on SNL
Kanye was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night with host LeBron James. He broke each musical performance into two songs (”Stronger”/”The Glory” and “Champion”/I Wonder”) and appeared in a skit as well, which was easily the funniest of the entire show. (Yeeeah, that’s not sayin’ much in 2007, but the shit’s funny.)
In related news, ‘Ye has started up his own blog, which can be seen here.
Kanye’s third studio album, Graduation, released Sept. 11, sold 957,000 copies its first week, marking the biggest Soundscan debut by any album since his sophomore, Late Registration, two years ago. He is currently sitting at 1.2 million copies sold.

Kanye West: Never cared about being No. 1
“My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake,” the 29-year-old rapper tells XXL magazine in its October issue, on newsstands September 11. “He’s the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level — black radio, white radio.”
Kanye previews two songs off Graduation
The Louis Vuitton don chopped it up with DJ Tim Westwood from BBC Radio 1 recently, and let Westwood play snippets of two songs off the forthcoming Graduation: “Big Brother,” dedicated to Jay-Z, and “Champion.”

50 Cent/Kanye beef heats up with… a presidential style debate

From HHE:
Superstar rappers Kanye West and 50 Cent will go head-to-head on September 11, the day both artists’ sophomore albums land in stores.
While fans of both rappers have relished in the friendly rivalry that seems to be brewing between the pair over the release date, 50 Cent has actually accepted a challenge to debate Kanye West on live TV.
50 Cent appeared on BET’s 106 & Park countdown show on Friday to promote his upcoming album Curtis.
During the show, he accepted an offer from hosts Terrance J. and Rocsi to engage Kanye West in a presidential style “debate” to decide who has the best album, weeks before their albums hit stores.
The rivalry started when West’s release date for his Def Jam/Universal release Graduation was shifted from September 18 to September 11.
Conversely, 50 Cent’s album Interscope/Universal album Curtis was moved from September 4 to September 11.
“I accept the challenge,” 50 Cent told millions of viewers on Friday (August 3). “Kanye, he’s not going to want to show up. Just don’t be asking me if I am a conscious rapper. I know exactly what I am saying - so I am conscious.”
If Kanye were to accept the challenge posed by the hosts, the two colorful, outspoken rappers would appear live on the show to debate who has the better produced album.
50 Cent’s sophomore album The Massacre sold over 1 million copies during its first week in stores, while West’s second album Late Registration moved 860,000 units its first week on the shelves.
While 50 Cent claimed that Def Jam President Jay-Z would cave in and switch Kanye’s release date, Jay-Z himself shot the notion down and welcomed the competition.
Popular gambling website Bodog.com recently began taking bets on which artist will sell more during the first week, if they hit stores on September 11 as planned.
Fans have wagered that 50 Cent’s Curtis will outsell West’s Graduation (180 to 140), while Curtis is also the favorite to top Billboard’s Top 200 album chart.
