**This Just In** Titans Kanye West & 50 Cent Go Head to Head on BET's 106 & Park

NEW YORK, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Hip hop heavyweights Kanye West and 50 Cent make history on BET's 106 & PARK for the ultimate clash of the titans. Making their only appearance together for the day, both rappers performed tracks off their new albums to a packed audience. Adding to the excitement, president and CEO Jay Z made a surprise visit to the set and closed out Kanye's performance with a few bars of Encore from The Black Album. Both rappers strongly defended why their album is the best but in the end the clash ended amicably when each rival said this: "For him (50 Cent) to break through and do what he does is great." "I think he is a very talented performer," said Kanye West. 50 Cent returned the compliment by saying, "He (Kanye West) is a brilliant producer and I think he's really changed the game."
