50 CENT DEFENDS DECISION NOT TO RETIRE

50 CENT has defended his decision not to retire from the music industry after he lost out to KANYE WEST in the U.S. album charts, insisting it is 'impossible' for rappers to quit.

The In Da Club star promised he would step down as an MC if West's Graduation beat his Curtis disc to the top of the Billboard charts - which it did in September (07).

But 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - has reneged on his promise to retire, and instead has vowed to continue battling for chart dominance.

He says, "I don't know if it's possible for a rapper to retire, rappers are like fighters.

"They condition themselves to be the best. All rappers think they are the best. And they are just waiting for everyone else to recognise they are the best.

"You'll see them come back and come back."
