As though this whole 50 Cent/Kanye West sales battle was becoming the extended remix to the sales battle, 50 has decided to pull Lil Wayne into the fray.

 

50 nabbed himself the credit for both creating mixtapes and creating freestyling on mixtapes, meanwhile stomping on Wayne's ego as much as possible.

Ahem, take the reigns Fif:

What makes him a legitimate conversation? That makes us the same 'cause we both rap? He wouldn't even be making the mixtapes because I invented that, but there's no significance in that. When he freestyles on a mixtape, it's a song format because he's following my format. But they ask me about him like we're the same.


50 was apparently responding to a nod Kanye threw in Wayne's direction, where Ye called him the best rapper out right now.

But that wasn't all 50 had to say. He got his beef on Memorial Day-style with a little numbers talk. Here Fif tries to prove that he deserves the checks and the trophies - only one of which he's on top of. As he will continue to do for about another month, at least until he quits music, he's slamming Kanye again:

The people who give out trophies, pick him because he's safe. But my projects be making a way bigger impression...by actually selling. That's an indication of the public's interest. How many people are interested enough to go spend $16 on a CD. I sold 1.1. million records in four days and, I didn't get one trophy for The Massacre, for the entire album, then release Get Rich Or Die Trying as a soundtrack, sell 3 million records of the soundtrack and soundtracks are harder to sell than solo albums...and then, no trophies for the soundtracks. I don't get trophies, I get checks, he gets the trophies. But how you gon' give him a trophy now when he comes out the same time I come out? And I'm just all over his ass. You gone clearly see the favoritism. He's gonna still get the trophies.


Now hold up, wait a minute, this beef-train don't stop rollin' here. You may have seen last week that Kanye responded to word that Beanie Sigel called him gay. Well, here's Sigel's re:re, thanks to MTV:

"I don't really dwell on that sh--, man. He called me for songs, so I guess [there are no problems]," Sigel said. He added that, "I been trying to get beats from that n---a since before I went to jail."
