Kanye West recently responded to 50 Cent's jab about his latest single “Love Lockdown”.

As reported earlier, during a concert in New York last weekend,50 Cent mocked Kanye's “Love Lockdown” and  announced that he will be releasing his upcoming album (Before I Self Destruct), a week before Kanye drops 808s & Heartbreak.

In a post on his blog yesterday (September 18), Kanye revealed he is in Hawaii working hard on 808s & Heartbreak and responded to 50 Cent's jabs by saying, “I guarantee this will be 50’s favorite album of mine.  This will be gangster’s album of the year.”

Kanye and 50 Cent dueled over first week sales when they released their albums on the same day last year.  Kanye would trump 50 Cent in first week sales and overall U.S. sales.

50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct hits shelves December 9th while 808s & Heartbreak drops on December 16th.
