Battle of the Album Debuts

Tomorrow is a big day in hip hop music, folks. 50 Cent and Kanye West are going head-to-head with highly anticipated album releases Tuesday, Sept. 11th.

The two albums have been highly publicized by each side, heating up even further last night when 50 and Kanye came out leering at each other before presenting the Most Earth-Shattering Collaboration at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

After Kanye West got denied from MTV to open the VMAs and got shut out yet again, losing the coveted Video of the Year Award to Rihanna, he stirred up more publicity for himself by declaring that he will "never return to MTV".

For 50, even with powerhouses like Timbaland and JT featured on his album, Curtis, he has publicly declared that if his record sales fall behind Kanye's in its first week, that he'll retire and will stop making solo albums.

2007 MTV VMA: Jackpot or Jack-not?

I'm gonna go with Jack-not.

The show was a total mess. The main stage had no energy because all of the fans were partying in the Fantasy Suites (wish I was there!). There weren't enough big-show performances and out of the, I dunno, three we got, Chris Brown completely rocked it out with Usher-esque moves and flair we'd expect from Justin Timberlake. Chris Brown got everyone up and out of their seats and even Diddy was pumped up. Maybe you can make his band!

The Fantasy Suites were a fun idea but I don't think was appropriate for the VMAs. The VMAs are a big deal and fans expect big performances from them. The suite performances were good, but lackluster for the audience AND we didn't even get to see the entire shows! We also got performances from the same artists and didn't get to see a lot of other noteworthy musicians from the past year. Don't get me wrong, I love Timbaland and his whole crew and could watch them all day, but what about the rest of America?

Try again next year Executive Producer, Jesse Ignjatovic; make better decisions and give us a better show!

Missed JT's HBO Special? Watch It Again..

Holiday weekends are hard if you want to stay on top of what's on TV. So if you were like me and missed Justin Timberlake's futuresex/loveshow concert on HBO last night, you have a chance to see it again on Sept. 6th.
