50 Cent Not Won Over By West’s New Lp

50 CENT is unconvinced by fellow superstar KANYE WEST’s change of musical direction - hinting the STRONGER star should stick to rapping instead of singing on his new album. West sings throughout forthcoming LP 808s & Heartbreak with the help of Auto-Tune - leaving the majority of the rapping to guest stars Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne. But former rap rival 50 Cent is not won over by the T-Pain produced project - although he concedes the idea is “interesting”. He tells MTV.com, “I heard, like, seven songs. There’s a place for it. I think people will enjoy it if you’re actually in love or going through something. I think Kanye’s going through an interesting point in his career. “I don’t think the public will forgive (West) for it, but it’s interesting. I think it’s T-Pain’s record, but I’d rather buy it from T-Pain.”

“Not for me,” Pain clarified, “for everybody else.” The singer — who told DJ Skee in a separate interview that artists such as Ron Browz have used the Auto-Tune effect poorly — told MTV News that his biters need to pay up. Hey, if Diddy can collaborate with Pain and pay him for using the Auto-Tune, so can you other guys.
