: Last year Kanye West battled with 50 Cent to see who was the top star in hip hop. Now MediaTakeOut.com is hearing that Kanye is looking to step it up a notch. According to a very trusted insider Kanye West is looking to move up his new album release date to compete against the top selling artist Beyonce Knowles.
The insider tells MediaTakeOut.com, "Kanye West doesn't want to be considered just the best hip hop artist - he wants the title of the best artist." And that title, according to our insider, is held by Beyonce.
And you thought the Kanye vs 50 stuff was big .... This is about to be ENORMOUS!!!

This story is FALSE. Kanye West and Beyonce are friends, he had a post on his blog a while back thanking Jay Z and Beyonce for being there for him when his mother passed, he even posted pics of him and Beyone playing connect four backstage at Jay's concert LOL MTO if yall are going to lie at least come up with something believable. BTW this is like the fourth story yall have made claiming that an artist wants to go toe to toe with Beyonce on their album release day, yall are slipping.
Your insider would be wrong - Beyonce's sales and #1's pale in comparison to those of other artists. And Kanye is NOT competing with her - these people are trying to move records...He sees that people are responding to "Love Lockdown" and so he moved his record up...you've really got to get in at just the right moment now... Why do you think Rihanna has been releasing single after single despite the fact that new record (not re-release) was reported to have been out by now? This insider is bleak, MTO...but I think you wanted/needed either a Beyonce or Rihanna headline this morning, didn't you? :-D
IZITJUSTME Good Morning Everyone...Happy Friday and hope you all have a great weekend.
@Topic...Sorry MTO, I don't believe you on this
story OR the other Or the other Or the

^^^DESERVES TO BE READ TWICE^^^
baller Flag post Alicia Keys sold more albums than Beyonce...
^^^In the U.S. ONLY & what WORLD TOUR has she headlined? Don't try to pit them against each other... especially if you LISTEN to the PROFESSIONAL CRITICS. You WILL get your feelings hurt...
@DCCowgirl:
You should be ashamed of yourself livin in DC rootin for the Cowboys!! How can you not support the local team then on top of that you roll with our direct enemy. I respect the TX folks for ridin wit their city. I've seen so much Cowboy sh*t here in the DMV the past few days I swore I was in Texas!
I guess you'll be another victim of mass suicide on Sunday night when the final score is Skins 38 Cowboys 21!
hmmm... let the sh*t talkin begin!!
Stop calling her the hottest chick in the game. She is not. She is so over rated and so is her washed up husband. It is a shame that these are what our new age celebrities are. Please she is so far behind Michael Jackson it is not funny. She could never do free concerts and feed whole 3rd world countries. She cant sell out overseas just like her man. You have to be global to be like Mike. She is far from that. She is not even sweated in France and England yet.
JustTheFactsMam, Did you say Alicia hasn't headlined a world tour? Did you say critics don't like Alicia? I guess you missed the tour she's just wrapped up and the fact that she was chosen to sing the Bond theme, huh? Alicia is a SUPERSTAR, she's just considered a MUSICIAN and not POP STAR like Beyonce so you don't get people comparing them in the mainstream much. It's always Beyonce, Rihanna, Fergie, etc... But Alicia's definitely, DEFINITELY a HUGE DEAL...and I can't believe you didn't know that. In fact, if you'd google reviews of the tour Alicia and Beyonce did you might get your feelings hurt. Wanna hint? Somebody was called "boring" despite her "many props" and someone else was declared the "far better entertainer"...
Good morning everyone!
Good morning Cat lady aka My Love Slut bka Tittays or MY TEE! Hi babe...

I took the day off, so I'm sitting with my Ice Coffee watching Maury. And alls I know is he ain't the daddy - the baby too light. At least according to him, even though the baby got his eyes, nose, headshape & dingaling. :-)
he is getting rediculous. he is no longer concerned about the art of music, but simply himself. this is going to lead to the destruction of kanye as an artist. beyonce will win this battle. she's been in the public eye longer and has a much bigger fan base. women don't buy kanye...they buy beyonce. the gay community doesn't buy kanye...they buy beyonce. without those two demographic categories, he might as well hang it up on this one...

NOW MTO U KNOW THATS A DAMN LIE . STOP TYRNA MAKE KANYE LOOK SO BAD. YOU'LL ARE SOME TRUE [EXPLETIVE]. KANYE MOVED HIS ALBUM UP BECAUSE HE SAID THAT HE WAS DONE WITH IT AND HE WANTS HIS FANS TO HEAR IT ASAP. HE AIN'T LOOING FOR NO COMPETITION WITH BEY. WHY AN R&B/POP ARTIST C'MON NOW. THIS STORY IS FLASE SOOO FALSE MTO. YOU'LL LOVE TO START SHYT.
@PunchDrunkPretty
I read one on MTV, and it said that Beyonce came to the Garden(here in Alicia's home town) And shut shyt down!!! Even Ed Lover said that Ne-Yo who was AK's openning act stole the show from her! Now I love Alicia too and she is thee Musician of this Decade, but artist like Bey, Justin, Usher etc, just has more of a stage presence!
My vote is for Mr. KANYE WEST!
Ms. Beyonce needs other people (Neo) to provide her with songs. Mr. West creates his own lyrics, and also has a world-wide fan base. People all over the world love rap music, and America has been the foundation of rap going back to the mid to late 70's.
Only one problem: Back in the day, rap music was diverse, today it is not. Essentially, Fifty Cent drops the same album, and he's not the only one. Mr. West is on another level, and he takes you back to how rap is supposed to be.
The Notorious B.I.G. was primarily a gangster rapper. However, when he dropped lyrics it was off the hook. It was as if he opened a book, and was telling a story, turning one page at a time. Even after his death, Fifty still can't touch B.I.G..
Going back to Mr. West, his lyrics and style are unique and stand out. His rap tunes are not limited to money, guns, cars, and naked women. Ex., Blood Diamonds from Sierra, Jesus Walks, Touch the Sky, Through the Wire, Can't Tell Me Nothing.
p.s., The only enterainter who can carry the title of "Best Artist" is the Artist formerly known as Prince.
whatever.Not sure why these artist do this dumbshyt. We are in a recession…hello! So you jsut gon’ force me to make a choice. Ai’ght then…Kanye you lose ! anyway, I heard on the radio,,,him and 50 was going up against each other again ..on release dates? To me , this is not smart at this point in the economy. You may llike both artise, and end up only supporting 1 of them. Kanye needs to sit his lil azz down. Queen Bey reigns ! lol !.
Ugh people we are in a gotdamn recession!
Who has excess money to spend on bullshyt by Kanye or Beyonce?! IDK about you all, but Limewire is my damn music store, and guess what? EVERYTHING THERE IS FREE! No taxes, no nothing! Fck Beyonce and Kanye, unless the artists name is Mary J Blige or Alicia Keys or Jay-Z or Nassir Jones, I have tuition to pay so I'll download. Shyt with the exception of Mary, the other three could fall back too.
Like we need another album full of Beyonce's bullshyt dance records and Kanye spittin random shyt.
Save your pennies!!!
AND WASS GOOD TO MY FAM!!! I SEE YALL Lol
I personally think that currently, Kanye garners more interest then Beyonce'. All she is is a singer and performer. You hear her speak? She never has anything intelligent to say. She's so made up...not to mention the diss she put out there on black women and how the "be hating." I guess we forgot that! YE WINS THIS ONE FOLKS!
@XMzSarcaztikX
I KNOW YOU ARE WHITE SO U REALLY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN ABOUT ANYTHING OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE. YOU GOT YOURS MIXED UP SWEETY. RAP APPEALS TO WOMEN AND MEN AT A HIGHER PERCENTAGE THAN A RNB FEMALE WOULD APPEAR TO BOTH SIDES. BEYONCE'S ALBUM WILL ONLY APPEAL TO WOMEN AND GAY MEN. KANYE'S ALBUM WILL APPEAL TO ALL.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF FEMALES THAT WILL BUY KANYE'S ALBUM BUT THEY THINK HE CUTE. AND STILL MEN WILL BUY HIS STUFF CUZ HE'S THE SH!T. IT DON'T MATTER HOW MUCH A STRAIGHT MAN LIKES BEYONCE, HE AINT GONE BUY HER SH!T.
I dunno but... Why is everyone in the music industry ganging up on Beyonce all of a sudden? Like seriously, what has she done? All she's doing is trying to bring her career to an upper level. And that's a good thing... instead of partying like a fcuking animal (I.E.: Amy Winehouse, etc..)she's actually trying to create a good image for herself in the business and for her fans... Just leave B alone, she aint doing nothing wrong. Plus, I think Kanye is a good artist but IMO, he killed it with that "American Boy" song.
THERE WILL BE NO DAMN COMPETITION! BEYONCE AINT [EXPLETIVE] BUT A BIG-BONED GREDDY BITCH WHO IS CORNY AS HELL AND MUSIC SUCKS! FUNNY ACTING ASS TRICK! WONT EVEN SHOW NOBODY HER WACK-ASS WEDDING PICS! [EXPLETIVE] THAT BIATCH!!! KAYNE IS GOING TO BLOW HER WACK-ASS OFF THE MAP!!! UNLESS HER OVER0CONTROLLING ASS DADDY BUYS UP ALL HER WACK CD'S THATS GOING TO BE OUT!
I dont really believe this story BUT, I think Beyonce got more momentum than Kanye does. For fukk sake her Tour DVD is stil selling. And plus Love Lockdown is SHYT, HOT GARBAGE! And besides, Beyonce is A beast when it comes to Live Performance Promo on Tyra & and all these other shows. I cant front, B'Day is her worst work to date, but It went gold 540k in a week and Deja Vu wasant even that good!
All I'm sayin is, if she comes correct with a SMASH Single and crushes all the Live Performances on TV like she always does, she can move some units because the industry is kinda desperate for live performers right about now!
wow i never knew that so many people would ride on someones you know what like that.... this about real music, as much i like to shake my booty to beyonce's music i am with kanye on this one... he seems so much more real and relatable... beyonce doesnt share her feelings or emotions about anything, but then she is robotic
O HELL NAWWW! I KNOW Kanye did not pull this stunt. I truly don't know who will win but I WILL say that ma gurl Bee can hold her own. AND WE ALL KNOW IT. I won't choose cuz I like both of them, I'll settle for both albums. But from the looks of it now, Kanye, you betta be prepared cuz Beyonce can go hard or go home. Like somebody else said:
U MUST NOT KNOW BOUT HER!
But why go against a singer when you rap. What's up wit that???????
Kanye vs. tip or wayne Beyonce vs. AK-47- A REAL THREAT

OR i ain;t buying sh*t!!!!!!!!!
Everybody need to feel me on this 1. I see you baller!
We in a recession and they gotd*man chillin @ fashion shows and sh*t and we got wait in line a hour for gas. FUC* THAT! i'm not buyn no bullsh*t they need to go head to head. They gettn they sh** a little too easy but want us to go out and spend all our gas money on they sh*8 .
Fuc* them they need to start feeln some pressure we got to go head to head competing at our job just to get a few dollars they need to start don the same.
I aint buyn NATHAN. until I get my moneys worth...Until Beyonce got to get pep talks from her daddy and Kanye got to be prayn tho his mama and sh8T for good luck and all that
kanye doesn't stand a chance. lmao he have that singing song out, so now he think he can compete with top singers lol hes so cocky and full of himself.Too many girls and woman look up to B and she's more popular. i would even buy beyonce album to see her photos lol im not gay but seriously. >Fans of both, so we'll see
Kanye is only helping her out with her sales the same way he helped out 50. People are gonna buy kanye's album no doubt, she's trying to cling on that so she can get more sales. Face it beyonce is washed up, she needs this. And like Pharrell says....people are so easily influenced when ever a gimmick is in tacked then people will buy into it because of it.
These two artists are not even in the same category! Who cares who releases their album first? Those who are B's fans will purchase her CD and those who are Kayne's fans will purchase his...there is really no competition. The music media always likes to through crap in the mix to get record sales moving higher and faster. They know they have to do something to encourage us to purchase product - because there is a heavy activity of burning CD's and passing them to friends in our society now. What a trick.
Come on now people Beyonce's stuff is the same stuff every CD!!! Her 15 minutes of fame is about up and some are getting burned out on her and her publicity stunts! Did anyone notice on the Cancer telethon she had her regular str8 her while watching her sister sing ,but then when she gets up to sing a song for a cause she promotes her future Etta James movie with the lil wig. That was totally inapropriate!!! Kanye should win this hands down because he is uaually original!!
MEDIA TAKE OUT FOR EVERY ONE GOOD STORY YOU FOLLOW IT WITH 10 LIES , IF YOU ARE NOT TRYINTG TO OUR NE-YO AND TYSON BECKFORD YOU ARE GOING AGAINST SOME CHICK YOU ARE SOOOOOOOFUCKING GAY KANYE IS NOT TRYIING TO REPEAT HIS COMPETITION WITH 50 CENT . I READ THIS IN THE LEGITIMATE MEDIA WHICH YOU ARE NOT . hAVE YOU PHOTOSHOPPED TYSON LATELY YOU [EXPLETIVE]
TEAM Kanye!!!
Kanye has sold almost a million copies in one week...and Beyonce only sold about 500, 000 copies in one week do the math lol!!! Y'all act like she just sell so many albums...please! Plus, her stans are just going to buy the album anyway even if they don't like it, cause her fans are crazy!!

^^^LOLOL!!! said the girl with the poster child for FLOP & BRICK as her avi.
:-D you can do so much better...
LMBAO!!!!! Okay, this is either one of two things:
1) Jay-Z has persuaded Kanye to do this because Beyonce has fell off so bad that they think her album sales will be a huge embarassment and putting a competition spin on it will encourage her supporters to buy her album.
OR
2) Jay-Z has persuaded Kanye to do this because Beyonce has fell off so bad that they think her album sales will be a huge embarassment and putting a competition spin on it will encourage her supporters to buy her album.
LOL!!!!! Either way, she will face the embarassment. The most Beyonce has sold in a debut week on the charts is 663,000 and that was with DESTINY'S CHILD and the "Survivor" CD. On her own, the most she has sold is 541,000 with "B'Day". I don't like her or her music, and I won't even bring up the bad dancing and bad acting, but I give credit where credit is due. Her first-week album sales are some pretty impressive numbers. However, Kanye's albums crush her first week sales in numbers. I don't know the first week numbers of "College Dropout", but "Late Registration" debuted with 860,000 and "Graduation" with 957,000. There is no competition. Beyonce should spare herself the humiliation and scrap this whole competition idea. It's lame, it's boring, it's overdone and not gonna work anyway. I'm sure Beyonce supporters from all over are going to make sure they buy her album the first week, which is understandable, and it may bring in the biggest first-week sales number of her career, but it will NOT beat out Kanye. No matter how much you love her, the truth is it just won't happen. I know the article is saying this is Kanye's doing, but I highly doubt that. What would Kanye feel the need to prove by outselling Beyonce??? He already outsells Beyonce. I could see if their numbers were close and the take turns selling more, but his albums have sold more, so why would he feel the need to compete. This whole plan has Jay-Z and Beyonce splateered all over it.
@JustTheFactsMam
I rather have Ashanti as my avatar then some fake bitch as my avatar!! Beyonce can't even do an interview by herself, she have her little daddy and mommy to help all the time haha. Plus, I'm not a fan of her fake ass!! She is a fake popstar, who will do whatever America wants her to do like bleach her skin to seem white to be acceptable. At lease Ashanti still look like a black woman!
This is a publicity stunt if you look at the post about beyonce pushing back her single to shame michelle i said the same thing i said in this post and that is beyonce vs. alicia keys and jay-z against kanye. and other competitions. they are scared as hel to do that. MTO is nothing but a consumer feedback site. MTO probably did this on purpose if yall would read my reply and all yall start agreeing..yeah these mofos gone start workn hard for our gas $ or we aint buyig nothn then they will have to give in and that right there is going to put a dagger in someones career. they scared.... just like we scared we gone run outta gas but we still got to go to work. Fu** them. If everybody in here agreee with me watch what next weeks headline will be. Don't beleive me try it. ----------------------------------------------- Kanye vs. tip or wayne Beyonce vs. AK-47- A REAL THREAT

Please, same sh*t different year.
THis would only be another ploy to get their albums to sell. Do you honestly think Kanye would sell more than maybe $250K if it weren't for that fake beef? Please. some people bought his cd just b/c they didn't like 50. Give it a rest please. Let's see Beyonce up against true talent like Alicia Keys, whose music will last the test of time.
@ least try and be original this time around.
BTW: That title goes to ALICIA KEYS not Beyonce. She sold about $750 compared to Beyonce's what $300. Ya'll need to stop riding Beyonce's pop, flat ass.
Since when did Copy Cat Bey become the top selling artist; she's barely receiving awards. She cannot touch Alicia, Mary, Jennifer, Mariah or Christine Aguilliar. Bey got her ass kick when her father changed her release date to go up against LeToya. I'm wondering, is Bey's dad paying for her advertisement. Really, what is the big deal with singing video vixxon anyway. She wants to be an icon; well stop being half naked in your videos and perform with class and sing not lip sync.

The Capitol set sold (((((165,000))))) copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The Columbia set moved a whopping (((((541,000))))) units in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the best sales number since Tool's "10,000 Days," sold 564,000 in May. "B'Day" also scores the No. 1 position on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums tally.
Beyonce also topped The Billboard 200 with her solo debut, "Dangerously in Love," which sold (((((317,000))))) in its first week. Only one Destiny's Child album managed a bigger start, 2001's "Survivor" with 663,000.

She still a fake white wanna be bitch!!
Have a good day stan, it's not like you seeing any of that money haha. I just don't like her or her music like that. So, you can sit here and put out numbers or whatever...she still a fake bitch! Y'all stans are loco and y'all get intimidated when somebody still her shine. I go by quality not record sales, cause I do have a brain lol. Plus, Beyonce voice and all that Jennifer Hudson kill that.
"Lil Wayne sell more than 1 million copies in a single week. The only other artist to come close to that total was Kanye West, whose 2007 set Graduation put up opening week sales of 957,000".
If Kayne really wanted a competition he would have went against Wayne but his sweet ass no betta. He betta stick with Beyonce (pop)her ass on her way out the door as it is ( with that fake [EXPLETIVE]).
They both need the hype to compete with wayne. Not much of a wayne fan but damn that cd was sick. No one is catching him this 2008-2009. And his [EXPLETIVE] was leaked.
