Kanye West announces tracklisting including CRS (and downplays beef with 50)

Kanye West vs 50 Cent

This could just be rubbish…

Kanye West reportedly issued a challange to 50 cent during an interview on a radio station last Friday. 50 quickly accepted the challange on a TV appearance saying ” I accept the challenge. 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”

“I don’t have beef with anyone,” West said on MTV. “What am I going to debate about? I’m going to go in the studio and make music. When I heard the thing about the debate, I thought that was the stupidest thing. When my albums drops and 50′s album drops, you’re gonna get a lot of good music at the same time.”

More importantly, Kanye West has announced the tracklisting to his forthcoming record Graduation. The record, featuring collaborations with Mos Def, DJ Premier, Lupe Fiasco, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, will arrive on 9/11.

1. “Good Morning”
2. “Homecoming” (Featuring Chris Martin)
3. “Stronger”
4. “Champion”
5. “Good Life” (Featuring T-Pain)
6. “I Wonder”
7. “Even More Broke Phi Broke”
8. “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”
9. “Drunk and Hot Girls” (Featuring Mos Def)
10. “Ev’rything I Am” (Scratches by DJ Premier)
11. “Good Night” (Featuring Mos Def & Al Be)
12. “Big Brother”
13. “Graduation”
14. “The Glory”
15. “CRS” (Featuring Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell)

The last track “CRS” (Featuring Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell) stands for “Child Rebel Soldiers” the supergroup who recorded the track “Us Placers” from Kanye’s mixtape which has been gaining great interest on the internet.

Many are questioning whether 50 Cent’s Curtis will outsell Kanye West’s Graduation. But 50′s ready to bet his career on it.

“They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem because I’ve worked myself into a space where I’ve become the favourite,” says 50.

“Let’s raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.

“And I bet this, when Kanye West’s sales come in, he’s gonna have a 70% decrease [the second week] ’cause Def Jam is gonna buy records to keep him closer to 50 Cent,” he added. “So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his ass drop off the planet.”
