50 Cent50 CentWell that's what it looks like.

If 50 Cent sticks to his word.

It's the clash of the egos between Kanye West and Fiddy.

Both their albums have been released - and the race is on to see whose performs the best.

Fiddy vowed to retire from recording as a solo artist if he didn't outsell Kanye.

He said : "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer (perform) music. I'll write music and work with my other artists but I won't put out any more solo albums."

But bad news for Mr Cent - the word is that Kanye's album, Graduation, has already sold 200,000 more units than Fiddy's since yesterday's same-day release Stateside.

Associated Press have given Kanye's album their vote, and said he could claim a "landslide victory".

"Graduation still sound like a logical step forward.

"Yet Curtis sounds like Fiddy is standing in place ... Fiddy's outsized cockiness sounds like a comfortable artist repeating himself, afraid to tinker with his winning formulas."

So that's set, game and match wethinks.
