18 years ago today, Kanye West and 50 Cent went head-to-head in a sales battle that 50 bet his entire career on… 😬

His album “Curtis” was ultimately crushed by Kanye West’s most successful album ever, “Graduation” 💿📈

Just recently, the album became the first rap album from the 2000s to reach over 1 billion streams in 2025, showing its true timelessness.

Thoughts on their showdown looking back? Do you wish there were rappers doing this today? 🤔
