50 Cent Or Kanye West?

We're almost at the finish line in the 50 Cent vs. Kanye West showdown. Early projections have Kanye comfortably leading in sales, the official tally won't be made public until Wednesday.

In the meantime, everyone — including 50 — seems to have had something to say about the red-hot battle. On Friday, 50 phoned in to Hot 97 and said the fix was in. He accused Def Jam, West's label, of practicing underhanded methods, such as buying copies of Graduation to rig Kanye as the first-week SoundScan king.

Billboard reported Friday that Graduation leads with 781,000 copies sold over the 603,000 moved by 50 Cent's Curtis, according to projections.

"It's only one magic album, the other one is just there," 50 said of the hyped-up competition.

While doing an on-air radio interview on HOT 97, 50 told host Angie Martinez that if he loses to Kanye in the first week, he's going to war. That means putting out an album every time a Def Jam artist releases an LP — namely Jay-Z, Young Jeezy and Ludacris.
