50 Cent has vowed to quit music if Kanye West outsells him.The two hip-hop stars new albums - 50's 'Curtis' and West's 'Graduation - are both released on September 11 and 50 is so confident he will win the sales war he is willing to gamble his future.50 Cent said: "Let's raise the stakes. "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."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. Everybody roots for the underdog when he goes against the favourite."West's last album 'Late Registration' has so far sold 2.8 million - far less than 50 Cent's 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'?' which has sold almost 8 million.50 went on to claim West's record label will even buy his album to bolster sales.
