50 Cent: Outsell Kanye Or Stop Trying
Disregarding the lack of buzz from both fans and critics alike, 50 has thrown out some bold words and has put his solo career on the line.
“They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem because I’ve worked myself into a space where I’ve become the favorite,” Fif told SOHH. “Everybody roots against the underdog when he goes against the favorite.
“Put it like this,” 50 continued. “Let’s raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.
“And I bet this, when Kanye West’s sales come in, he’s gonna have a 70% decrease [the second week] ‘cause Def Jam is gonna buy records to keep him closer to 50 Cent,” the Queens rapper added. “So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his shit drop off the planet. We keep our angles covered before we make a decent bet.” Said 50.
50’s “Curtis” and Kanye’s “Graduation” are scheduled to hit stores on September 11th, 2007.
1st, becuz i posted dis on forums bitches
LOL this nigga is cocky as hell it would be funny if he didnt win
He'll outsell Kanye by 40 or 50 thousand, just because of his white(mtv) fanbase.
Both will have huge dropoffs in that 2nd sales week though.
white fanbase? NO. golddigga was tha shit i went to a white country club and they played that shit there. my mind was blowned!
u mean wiggers are going to go and buy 50 album, thats wat his fanbase is moslty made up of. Cant tell me nothing better than all the songs 50 got out right now
Dogg what are you talkin about. Kanye got more white fans than andre 3000 LOL
yea but those white fans are white ppl that act white, 50 fans are wiggers
i HOPE KANYE DO OUTSELL 50 LET SSEE IF HE WOULD REALLY STOP RAPPIN i THNK 50 LIKE PUFFY HE LIKE BEING IN THE LIMELIGHT.
50 gon outsell kanye by 100,00 to 150 thousound at least all u stupid like i said in some other discussion kanye will sell at most 3/4 what 50 will in his first week
lmao at Fresh25 and everybody else who thinks that 50 will outsell kanye...i cant wait 2 see them numbers so 50 can stop comin out wit songs cuz he's awful...how do u diss ja on tha shit that he do n then start doin it yourself..all 50 does is sing and thats terrible...when kanye outsell him it mite b tha death of G-Unit...(i hope buck keep sellin tho cuz he from TN)
^I know right? so true
545,000 for 50. 510,000 for kanye.
i so hope kanye beats him.
i know, i def. wont miss 50 Cents amazing lyrical skills hahahha
he should beat 50 in sells FLAT. kanye puts out better music anyway anyday.
Word after reading this i pray Ye beats him. he's just taking this to the head.
I know right! It ain't like 50 the best thing in hip-hop. I ain't gone lie though, the things these rich niggas do keeps us watchin. I think kanye will beat him though
Wow.. if this dudes Flops, he'll be the laughing stock of the music industry. Imagine how many ppl are waiting to C his 1st week sales. my god. for the sake of his career, i hope he out sells Kanye. But if he doesn't.lol. oh boy.
I dont know. it seems like Kanye is gonna have 50 "down and out"
C-U-R-T-I-S.....don't do it... Kanye gonna double em up!
bold statement
i'm sure some exec's at interscope aren't gonna be happy about that.
he gotta b really feelin himself right now & this is a really bold move... thats tru confidence & arrogance if i kno it
He knows he's going 2 come out on top so why not make that statement.
thank God.. he better stick to that shit cause i don't ever wanna see another retail 50 album again.. he just dug his own grave. i don't like kanye and i don't like 50, but just judging from the buzz that kanye has on THIS site alone, 50 stands no chance.
It's funny that he say def jam is gonna buy kanye's records to keep him close i think thats kind of a insult kanye sold 820,000 copies his first week last album. Ilike that about fif keep it a compition. I know im gone catch alot of backlash from a lot of people but I think 50's gonna win by default cause now interscope is gonna buy his records to make sure he dont retire. before you start talking i said i think. and if he dont win thier gonna drop before i self destruct anyways cause he under contract and the albums already done. it just wont be promoted buy him.
For real i like Kanye music n his flow but i like Fifty more i think 50 is goin 2 cum on top but it is goin 2 close jus cuz sum niggaz dont like 50 Shit anymore dats y n FUCK YOU KID KRUSH N PROW
B-nomoney...b-real about it. Ya boy C-U-R-T-I-S can't mKE MUSIC NOMORE. hE MAKES LOVE RECORDS. His fan base don't feel that shit. He gone sell 2-3 million records. kanye on the other hand....5-6. "Don't hate, I'm only being real"
kanye is going to get him...i will def cop that graduation
Man 50 is gonna win Amusement park did better than Can't tell me nothing, Stronger thats some wack shit I get money is big tune, she want it is a hit in da club. 50 gonna sell more and have a better album all da way
wow dude what are u talkin about? cant tell me nothin is a hit dont forget about the other song fif had and that i get money is hot but the beat is what kills the song not him, plus chamillionaire went harder on that beat than fif and stronger is a hot song and the new song "good life" with T-pain is goin to be hot too, face it man Graduation is goin to win and fif is done. kanye is one of the BEST RAPPERS ALIVE!!!
what the fuck you talking about? nobody is feeling 50's singles. why do you think his album been pushed back 3 times already? the only single he got getting a light buzz is i get money and personally i think that shit is wack. kanye be on mtv and bet all day. his videos come on like every 5 minutes. and if it aint his video its commons videos.
i really hope Kanye sells more i mean they are both really good rappers but 50 jus a cocky motherfucker and i highly doubt if he is outsold by kanye he would stop makin records
Well look's like it's going to be 50 cent's retirement party next on def sounds. I guess hecan fall back on his film career, lol lol lmao, and now the bankruptcy thing will be true to, oh curtis.
IM GOIN FOR KANYE WEST ON THIS ONE!!
that gives another reason to cop kanye's album.
CUUUUUUUURTIS!
ha ha i dont know this might be close but im gon buy graduation and ill see if 50 album is any good b4 i cop that
Imma buy an extra copy of Graduation now because of this. Ye stock is rising and 50 is dropping. I think these numbers will be closer than you think. I'm actually looking forward to this. All the 50 haters are gonna buy Kanye albums now, its hilarious. Shit Camron gonna buy like 10,000.
you gon regret it after
All u motherfuck is some hating bitches waste your money on Kanye shit most of u niggas ain't hood never heard anybody play his shit go da hood
yea go 2 da hood n listen to follow my lead, ayo technology, and amusement park
Lol,damn good one papi, u blazed him, why does everything gotta be hood. if your looking for hood don't buy "Curtis".
Yeah u go COOK CRACK at the Amusement Park and ill listen to some KanYe.
kanye's stronger went from #47 to #6 on billboard hot 100 in one week so the white people must like it
I wana see what ye has 2 say bout this
If 50 cent retire I guess slim shady will have to com back. That will actually be great I'll take that trade 50 cent for eminem, will actually get some good music. I like 50 but I like em more. So I guess, go Kanye!
True we need Em back in the game ( btw Q linda lol), I maen i cant knock his hustle but 5o aint all that...Lyrically he is not ready he needs to back down a lil and look at the big picture, feelin himself a lil too much even tho kanye is a lil cocky himself 5o needs to chill the fuck out with that im the fav crap cause trully he has never been at least foe me....
If thats you in that pic.. I'd smash it
Sorry papi I dont date white guy's. I fill like your stalking me.
Okkk lol but no im not white im black....myspace.com/faresl2
if thats u in dat pic i'd hit it 2 (twice) and 2 latinoprincess are u really latin cause if u were u would use latina instead but no what i mean also wuss wrong with white boyz except there are smaller than black guyz...im not white i dont even look whyte damn use ur eyez
defsounds really wanna see fifty fail...
honestly I dont wanna see 50 fail i mean im not a huge fan of his music but it aight and he has been falling off this go round. but think about 50 keep you interested,this is actually a battle without them throwing out dis tracks at each other and the fact that 50 is upin the stakes makes it better. i just wish kanye would just say something to make it more of a competion im sick of hearing him say "i dont care if come 2nd" im not askin for a diss track but just sound more confident if you not in it to win then why play the game. bu this is actally gone help hip-hop people actually gonna go and buy the albums cause they wanna be apart of history expect alot of albums to be sold that day. I think most people may buy both albums. who know's curtis may still have some hot tracks. I wouldn be surprised if they both sold a mil their first week.
game already said sumthin like this, the nigga is still gonna release a album... or not lol
but interscope wont allow that, so dont get ur hopes up bout this shit
or yea and EMINEM WONT ALLOW THAT EITHER, SO DONT GET UR HOPES UP BOUT THIS SHIT
50 Cent is a talented rapper who has a great flow and knows how to create a stir about whatever he does, but the fact of the matter is that when he started coming out with singles titled "Candy Shop" & "Amusement Park" it was apparent that he would do whatever it takes just to sell records. I mean he criticized Ja Rule for having Ashanti on all his hooks and then 50 Cent himself started singing. I loved Get Rich or Die Trying and there were some tight tracks on The Massacre, but I think that he is way over his head on this one because if a Dre Produced Track (Straight To The Bank) or a track that is clearly meant to appeal to white teenagers (Amusement Park) can't be a hit, then he's fucked. I Get Money is a tight track but by September 11th it will already be played out and even his track with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland are whack. So id say that he may get the first week numbers because of the hype, but thats it, his album will be a flop. Kanye's singles on the other hand haven't preproduced as big of stir as his vious album's singles Diamonds from Sierre Leone and Through The Wire/Slow Jamz, but after hearing Common's album which Kanye Produced almost all the tracks to and which was number one this week, I think that Kanye will sell more records. He's a talented rapper/producer who always tries to reinvent himself and who loves music moreso than money. The best rappers in the game are true to themselves and can make a hit track not by trying to appeal to the masses.
LOL THIS SHIT HAS
30 SUMTHIN COMMENTS ALREADY, IT PROBABLY GET TO 200
HE RELEASED AYO TECHNOLOGY - 76 COMMENTS

I CANT WAIT TILL EMINEM COME OUT
Damn, as MUCH as i dont wanna say this....
Im sorry people for bringing his name into this but im just replying makaveli... Lil Wayne is the king of comments on Defsounds. Period. (source: Above the law and every other single and article)
now... lets continue about 50, i apologize again
^^^^yea we need EM, Nas, Rakim< maybe not but yea we need sum creative hiphopers out there the game is real predictable right now...
50 album is gon be fire...you gotta know he got something up his sleve... he put 6 singles out before the album drop...he just throwin all these tracks out to get the hype, they gon be on the album but that dont mean he aint got another 12-15 fire tracks like usual, the massacure had 22tracks GRODT had 19, you a fool if you think his shit gon flop...his SHIT NEVER FLOPS....I aint tip ridin him hes tyte but i mean damn everyone on here hates him.... this is good for hip-hop but 50 wins at everything he does you cant be serious to think kanye gon win
I like both artist but man, I think 'Ye got 50 on this -----as of right now, shyt could change
I said maybe not cause Rak aint droppin for another 7 years ( his normal album interval lol)
Damn Smiththechamp be trying to kick some knowlegde huh, what does he think he is like a hip-hop teacher or something.
Ay ya yii.... U bad princess

About talking hood I have 4 black brother's and a sister and they don't play papi.
THANX FOR KEEPIN REAL. THAT NIGGA IS SCREECHES TWIN HIPHOP BROTHER.
LOOSE CHANGE IS TRASH NOW KANYE ALL DAY
That was the dumbest statement he could have made. Cuz you know that if Kanye does outsell him, that he is going to make up another excuse. I don't know why he thinks that Kanye ain't no competiton, I think his head has gotton a little too big. He just gave EVERYONE that doesn't like him a true reason to buy Kanye's album. And trust me, there are alot more 50 haters then there are 50 fans. Stupid,Stupid,Stupid......at least he has vitamin water.
damn, he stay talkin shit
CURTIS STOP THE FAKE RAPS / STOP SNITCHIN. KANYE OWNS YOU
Starting to sound like 50 is making excuses before the fact. That fact being he isn't gonna sell half of the records he sold with each of his first two albums. And what the fuck did he mean by this?:
“Everybody roots against the underdog when he goes against the favorite."
WTF? Everybody roots FOR the underdog, everybody knows that.
KANYE GOT THIS! KANYE IS A WAY BETTER ARTIST! FUCK 50 HES DONE! HIM N GAY-UNIT R OVER!!!!
i hope this is a rumor... but if not... cam and gaame gon go buy 100,000 copies of kanye cd off top. well, 50 prolly send hot rod 2 the store 2 scoop a few of his... i dont kno. gon be verrry intresting. i wonder what Ye has 2 say???
CAM AND GAME DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO THAT.
LALALALALAL LOL LOL LOL
AT REALRAPMD LOL
idk but 50 just loves to talk just to get shit hype he a cocky dude thats wasup but i doubt matter fact i highly doubt it he wud fail plus even kanye knows he gonna be #2 he even sed i dont mind being number 2.

JIMMY STILL GOT EM ON PUNISHMENT ANYWAY
AND DAT WAS A GOOD STATEMENT FOR 50 TO MAKE
CUZ KANYE WEST AINT GOT A SNOWBALLS CHANCE IN HELL TO BEAT DIS NIGGA
No Comment We'll See! Everybody that fuck w/ 50 need to juss stop talking it's becoming irrelevant!
You seen the latest single,the one with the white homo singing on the piano with 50......

50 Is Trash!
Isn't this suppose to be 50 last solo album?? 50 is going to out sell kanye
nah he still got before i se;f destruct
Kanye aint really sayin much about the date, but I bet you IF Kanye outsells 50 in them first 2 weeks, Kanye gon start poppin madd shit.
i fucks wid 50 and i think he is gonna win on the day, but i aint sleepin on kanye either cuz his fanbase is crazy 2 (his 2 ablums hav both gone platiinum)
50 taking this shit really serious, so expect som more promotional shit 2 com frm 50 frm now till the ablum drops (he already taking digz at camruuun again loool)
COME ON MAN! THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PUBLICITY STUNT. THINK ABOUT THIS... TO ALL THE 50 CENT FANS THAT DOWNLOAD HIS SHIT, HE'S PUTTING THEM IN A POSITION WHERE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP HEARING HIM, YOU GOTTA BUY HIS CD. MOST PEOPLE ARE GONNA BELIEVE THAT SHIT AND BUY THE CD, SHIT HE EVEN HAD ME THINKIN "DAMN I GUESS I BETTER BUY THIS ONE". YOU THINK DRE AND EM OR IOVINE GONNA LET HIM JUST BREAK HIS CONTRACTS LIKE THAT, COME ON! WE TALKIN HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLAS. I'M TIRED OF 50s GIMMIKS ALREADY...
IF IT WASN'T A PUBLICITY STUNT HE WOULDNT GO SO EXTREME AND PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LINE... LOL
just for the sake of hiphop i hope kanye outsell him by a million. we need for this pussy to retire for awhile and get his shit together. remember 50's shit before get rich was some real hiphop shit he's never been lyrical but we respected him cause he catered to real true hiphop fan and not suburban teenagers who never seen the inside of the hood.
CHURCH!!! IF KANYE DO OUTSELL HIM 50 WOULD CRY LIKE A BITCH HE WOULDNT HAVE ANYMORE PUBLICITY STUNTS EITHER
first u said back then he made real hip hop but on the other hand he was never lyrical, like wtf? u need listen to that old shit again
not every respected artist was very lyrical! Some artist are just respected for content not always talkin that cocky i got cars chains and bitches shit. real hiphop fan can respect a hungry artist if he talks about somethin that makes fuckin sense. 50 use to represent what was going on in the hood, now he represents a rich kids who don't truly understand the true hiphop culture. all they see is the hoes,money,cars and shit. He flat out soldout!
i cant wait for that lame ass nigga to retire. ima buy like 3 kanye albums lol
It's just lyrical comp Y is fifty beef'in so hard. It's not that serious both of them are going to go platium.That nigga fity got a ego/i'm tried of cats try'in to get at me mental issue. He Always thinks someones try'in to get at him.
UNFORTUNATELY... I THINK THE ONLY NIGGA THAT'S GONNA KILL 5O CENT'S CAREER... IS 50 CENT...
it wont even be dat bad for fifty if he lose, he'll be like yeh, i sold less.................but i still got more money than all these mothafuckas, so in da end, he never loses
This nigga speaks as if he's still relevant---Nigga u ain't making no more solo albums anyway--we, the public have rejected your deposit nigga---If you notice who's been doing all the talking---this nigga is trying to talk himself into a buzz----Make wack music, so let's have a debate---he's right about one thing, Kanye will have a bigger 2nd week drop,cuase when yo shit flops like his will, it's gonna be a shorter fall from 1st week to 2nd week sales---I can see why he gives props to Bush, both these mutha fuckas are delusional.
The # 1 excuse 50 and his fans will be giving on Sept. 18 when the 1st week slaes come out: but i still got more money than all these mothafuckas, so in da end, he never loses
How does fuck does he win, when to win in this case means he'd have to sell more records---dumb mutha fucka, with a typical dumb nigga response.
50 CENT GOT SO MANY WHITE FANS, I WAS IN MEXICO CHILLIN YOU KNOW SPRING BREAK STYLE... I MET THIS WHITE CHICK LIKE OC TYPE WHITE CHICK I WAS TRYIN TO STAB, I ASKED IF SHE LISTENED TO HIP HOP SHE SAID, 50 CENT IS THE GREATEST EVER... SO I GOTTA ADMIT, FOR 4 HOURS 50 CENT WAS MY FAVORITE RAPPER, AFTER THE NUT, IT WAS BACK TO JAY. I HOPE SHE BUYS CURTIS THO. LOL
lol you crazy lmao
MAN BITCHS GOT OU SWITCHIN SIDES, (SHAKIN MY HEAD)
Jay-Z done for me???? LOL
50 gon shit on kayne.. n plus 50's "i get money" is better then nething kayne got out. kayne nice man.. but 50 better.. trust
What the hell is wrong with you? Obviously, you don't know hip-hop. How old are you?
YO I'M IN THE MIDWEST RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T PLAY "I GET MONEY". I HEARD FUNK FLEX TALKING LIKE THE SONG IS GOING CRAZY ON THE EASTCOAST. IS THAT TRU?
WHEN SOULJA BOY GET MORE SPINS THAN 50, YOU KNOW HE PANICKIN'
that fuckin soulja boy song is like a virus i cant believe people like dat shit. yea but i hope kanye beat 50 Just so we can see 50 reaction
^^^^^Yo, I agree, I hate the damn song. Young niggas like him are ruining hip-hop just to get a quick buck.
YO I'M IN THE MIDWEST RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T PLAY "I GET MONEY". I HEARD FUNK FLEX TALKING LIKE THE SONG IS GOING CRAZY ON THE EASTCOAST. IS THAT TRU?
I've been in da south (on the east coast) since the begining of the summer and I've heard that shit a whoppin' 4xs since it's release---fuckin 4xs---he can't possibly put them old kinda numbers with this kind of response, even if the shit gets 100 spins a day in NY---them bootlegging, hustlin' ass NY niggas don't buy no fuckin' music---they don't see 50 the way the rest of you niggas see him---they know this nigga---they know what he realy is and what he really ain't(he ain't no snitch either)---NY is whole different fucking place on earth---NY niggas don't have the same stars in their eyes like you niggas(celebrities walk that fuckin streets everyday--hell, I've seen David Letterman, Mr. Peterson from Seindfeld)---NYers in general don't get caught up into the novelty of life like you do---the fuckin cab drivers got fucking attitudes in NY, the damn lady selling fuckin shuttle passes got fukin' attitudes---them niggas don't give a fuck, they are some straight up one-track minded mutha fuckas------------$ That all that matters whether u spendin money in their establishment or enriching their lives somehow. Of course if music is hot, then it's hot, andyou got some mainstream folks buying it, but ain't nobody ever sold millions of records out 1 region, and it damn sure will never be NY.
I live in atlanta I aint never heard the song beside on this website or on another niggas freestyle
i hear it sometimes on sirius n shit but i hear kanye alot more.
50 said records sold, not records sold in the US, so whether he'll sell more in the US is debatable but worldwide hands down 50 will sell more
well.bye 50!
50 said records sold, not records sold in the US, so whether he'll sell more in the US is debatable but worldwide hands down 50 will sell more
So now we splittin hairs? This nigga sets a new definition of success everytime he opens his mouth---now he talkin' about 2nd week sale drop offs---if you can't change the game, at least change the rules---or at leat his definiton of the rules----niggas, it a smoke screen----he and you know what the fuck we're all taking about.
fuckin soulja boy gon outsell both of em aint dat some bullshit
lol. Hell the fuck yeah. I can't stand him.
I hope 50 flops so bad that Game's Doctor's Advocate ended up out-selling "Curtis." I doubt it'll happen (50 has to large of a world-wide fan-base) but wouldn't that be something if it did.
I'm pullin for Kayne this time around. If there is any MC more arrogant than Kanye, it's 50 cent. Fuck Curtis.
i said in another post that once we got closer to 9/11 that i had a gut feeling that fif was gonna pull something crazy or diss kanye! and here we go! I guess you have to do what you have to do, to boost those sales! cant wait to see how this plays out
hahaha 50 said that, you know whole of NY,spanish harlem,queens,yonkers,BK gonna go out and cop Kanye just to see 50 retire.
Has 50 still got buzz on the west? or did game kill that off...... i dunno.
i dont know why everybody thinks 50 has a bigger fanbase than kanye. for real, before i ever started going on these internet sites i had no idea 50 was relevant anymore. who actually bumps his music? do you listen to i get money on repeat? are you like the guys who were playing in the club every time you got in the car? everybody mentions white suburban kids, but you all are fools if you think there aren't white kanye fans too.
nah 50 still bang on the west, but even the west got taken over by the south. I'm from LA and niggas out there are real all ova the place... they like whatever is mainstream.. I'm talking about overall. So before some ignant WC fan say something I'm talking overall and radio. Basically there's no culture in the west coast except the small lived Hyphy movement. Westcoast program directors don't support westcoast artists unless you snoop or dre (and everything that falls under them)
sorry fellas, 50 is going to win. kanye west killed himself with that george bush comment, white people love fifty.
newsflash: white people who like black music probably dont care. it's not like he insulted the white race, he just said what everybody already knew.
Ha Kanye gonna flop in Iraq then.
whoops i mean Kanye gonna go platinum in iraq cos of the bush thing........and Kanye actually said the truth,bush is a fking loser.50 only stuck up for him because under bush the rich man gets richer and the poor man dies.
you aint told no lie. but thats why we don't need his trash ass anymore. 50 will sell his soul to them devils for record sales. kanye speaks the truth and the white media don't like when black entertainers tell the truth. Bush,Jimmy,Eminem how many white dicks is this coon ass,sellout gonna suck?
"thas that crack music nigga, that real black music nigga!"
It's funny how some white people don't rally like black people but they be bangin' that hiponn hop. I'm glad hip hop can connect us on some level
2 be real ever since game got kicked outta gunit 50 n da unit aint been da same n game did go platnum too. n u kno wat da worst case scenairo iz da ja rule some how out sell 50 even though it wont happen but wouldnt dat be 50 worst nightmare yo
Lol Ja will do it,google the line up to his album,i swear its fucking fire.
yea 50 was hatin on ja rule for singin now 50 sing on every hook
the girls love 50 too they dnt care bout his music they just dig the videos thats we he always got his shirt off lol
50 MaNiFhTy YoU oK,BuT DoNt GeT CoCkY OR ELS YoU WiLL OlD AS ThE 19"50"s. NiGgA!!!
JUST ME AN O.G
why is anyone even debating this. 50 is garbage. the man introduced alot of ppl to rap. after that he started singing just like Ja. And personally, Ja was a muhc better singer haha. But seriously, get rich came out and every track on the disc goes fuckin hard. The softest song is probably 21 questions and still, the dude aint singing on that, its dope. then the massacure. some hot tracks but what the fuck!? candy shop? are you for real? 50 can suck a a candy covered dick on his farris wheel at the amusment park while he usin his technology to look down bitches shirts from the top of the wheel. I really hope this man sticks to his word, cuz 50 leavin the game, is what the game been missin.
ALL YAH CRAZY 50 CENT 1ST WEEK 1MILLION EASY KANYE WEST 250000
KANYE OKAY BUT NOT GOING TO OUT SELL 50 CENT KANYE HAS 2 SINGLES 50 CENT HAS 6 SINGLES OUT COME ON MAN SOME HIS PROMOTION IS BETTER I GET IT WILL MAKE HIM SELL 10 MILL AGAIN LETS NOT FORGET FEB BEFORE I SELFDESTRUCT COMES OUT 13 MILL MAYBE
i swear your all acting like fucking psychics even predicting numbers n shit. smh again. and defjam isnt the only label who buys their artist albums interscope does it too dont let 50 fool ya ive been telling people that from time and 50 shouldnt say that cuz the massacre was bought by the label also. smh til it falls off.
go 50 , go kanye, i hate them both equally
UR GAY
only sometimes
Why do people on here talk out they asses niggas talking bout 50 going to sell 1 mil and kanye is going to sel 250k...50 promotion aint better then kanye promotion...actually fiddy is giving kanye more promotion by talking about him...this nigga will flop on 09/11...Go cop graduation on 09/11 its chi-town niggas.
i agree bout buyin ye but your numbers are hurtin. if fabs went gold then both these niggas gon sell least a mill and man i cant take anyone seriously wit a name like weezyf and a pink shirt
EVryone cop that TALIB KWELI ITS FIYA. CHEA!
I'm just thinking advantages:
50 - marketing genious, used to have that real hood delivery (i don't like his newer stuff, but old 50 was right)(marketing wise.....he only has one song on the radio and has a ridiculous amount of buzz from talking) He talks shit to the streets and sings to the suburbs.
Kanye - soulful producer/rapper, highly charismatic to mainstream and conscious hip hop fans (despite his spurts of arrogance)(people hold standards to kanye so he doesn't necessarily have to release too much, though the mixtape was hot shit and def gave him proper buzz)
The thing about 50 is he always has hidden wires somewhere (remember how he screwed over Game? I think dude is still payin 50) Which is making me wonder why he would make this announcement. Perhaps Ye has a single or two with some people under 50 so that 50 gets paid regardless (so why not make such a comment, which makes your fans by your album, and kanye fans(and 50 haters) actually buy Graduation, to get money on his artists' feature singles) Now that's just speculation right there cuz I don't know the track listing...but it's not completely off to think that 50 may have that in mind.
Also, something else I think is being underestimated with concious hip hop fans is Ye's work on Common's "Finding Forever". That short yet classic album def has those heads in Ye's favor.
The other thing funny about this is that if he loses he can simply say "Kanye never agreed", because he said "Let's raise the stakes....". There weren't any made if Kanye (the only person really able to accept the challenge) didn't agree. Maybe I'm just thinking too much though.
Go Graduation!
dam i hope kanye outsells 50
50 retires, hip hop lives on
kanye is definatly gonna outsell 50. i mean my mom, dad and grandma listen to kanye. they all gonna buy his album. he's got a way bigger fanbase than 50. i mean i've heard kanye on channels like xmu (on xm radio) that's not even a rap station that's like an alternative rock station. 50's not gonna come close.
Good point.Kanye is good at that all-around type of rap. If you listen to hip-hop today, the subject matter is very limited. Kanye is on some other stuff that a variety of people like
curtis.........wtf is your problem, i think that damn vitamin water went straight to your head man!
Guess who's gonna go buy 3 Kanye CD's?
I would fucking laugh if both these guys do low numbers and Ja comes along kills it.
I'm in Australia and I can tell you down here it'll be 10 to 1 people coppin Kanye over 50. I would laugh too if Ja beat them but it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens. No doubt both will do big numbers but like I say, down here, Kanye gonna kill him. He's just got a broader appeal, even my wife and my mum would both listen to Kanye. As for me, I think Kanye is a dope producer, probably the best since Dilla (although 9th Wonder is getting better all the time), but he aint the best rapper. That said, he's still better than 50. Lyrically 50 is garbage. Get Rich was fire but the Massacre was lame. Anyway that's how it's going down Down Under.
FYI.........
August 11, 2007. Looks like the Clash Of The Titans that was scheduled to take place between 50 Cent's album Curtis and Kanye West's album Graduation is not going to happen. According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's most reliable Def Jam sources - Kanye West's album will not be released on September 11th.
According to a top Def Jam exec, the battle is officially over. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "It sounded like a good idea at first, but not anymore ... It was just a friendly competition and now [50 Cent's team] is trying to make it into a battle to the death." The exec added, "Kanye is one of [Def Jam's] most successful artist, we're not going to risk damaging his career with this feud."
that ish true (mediatakeout.com)
Faggot. lol
50 Cent is makin excuses already! G-Unit is officially dead September 11th if Kanye West debuts at number 1.
Damn!!!
Kanye West is whack, but sense he tries to market Christian Rap into mainstream, dumb motherfuckers who have faith are gonna buy his weak ass raps. But 50 Cent sayin that shit is some little girl shit, thats bein a bitch about it.
Dear 50 cent,
Please just quit. Your album is going to be ugliest album ever put out by an ex-gangster. None of your singles have been good, and your leaked shit is proof that it's garbage. You can only put so much perfume on a pig. it's done. (it's = 50's career)
Sincerely,
Detroit
Finally a real nigga from the d please tell these niggas aint nobody fillin that nigga like that out here and he gets no love on the radio. its those new york niggas who be loveing that shit.
Wow 50 trippin'. I would get a Kanye album before 50's anyday for the fact of the beats is betta and he dont diss nobody and 2 months down da line turn around and do da same shit he was just dissin a dude fa to help his falling record sales. ( 50 and JaRule beef fa some of yall slow mudda fuccas)
True 50 fans shouldn't buy this album if they wanna save his career....
If he doesn't get high sales he'll realise that his homo beats and r&b style,ain't what the game needs.....
maybe you're right we need to boycott bullshit hiphop records and make artist go back to real hiphop.
I fill u on that
^^^True that Havana, I think we should get rid of nigga while we got the chance because he is just as sorry as some of those south rappers, he just know how to sell his music that all
50 is a whore. His claim to fame was the beef with JaRule talking about him being corny cuz hes a singer and all that. What does he do but sing the chorus on every one of his songs now. And now hes doing a song with the falsetto fag justin timberlake? JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE? From mickey mouse club? from nsync? Who bought his way into our music? Great job! I'm buying Kanyes album 3 times.
By the way this wreaks of publicity stunt. Someone came up with the idea of promoting these albums by starting a beef with this "challenge" idea. This way, every fan of Kanye and 50 will come out and make SURE they buy these albums... instead of downloading from limewire like we usually do. Its a win/win for both of them. This thing is rigged. I said it.
Soooo it all comes down to this:
If u'r sick of 50 and don't think he should make another album...
Don't buy his new cd! Damn.....that's pressure...well not really... he still has his fan base across the world!
~Be Eazy!
This nigga is talkin pure shit on the real n i will contribute to buying gradutation just to see him feel the fuckin crunch after he lays low for a few weeks n comes out with a new corny track with some tired explanation..pathetic
50 Cent says that he will retire if Kanye West sells more records then him on Sept. 11th. These 2 artists are really being BIG HEADED about the situation and who is the better artist.
How about this, How about everyone goes out and picks up my Cd on Sept. 11th? How about you make me #1 and shock these BIG HEADED artists. Imagine that. How humbling would that be?
I would really like to start a network of people who vow to go out and purchase the L-Love "Jealousy & Envy?!" cd on Sept. 11th instead of either 50 Cents new cd or Kanye Wests new cd.
L-Love "Jealousy & Envy?!" (Double Cd) featuring A-Wax, Natural Born Dankstas, B-Legit, Mr. Luv, Crooked I, Tray Deee (Snoop Dogg's Eastsidaz), Smoov-E, Nocturnal Hustlaz and many many more.
Order it the day of Sept. 11th Via:

50 all the way.
Sorry to say guys but 50's material is alot better than kaynes material lyrically.
I think Kayne has a better image than 50 becausee the 50 haters in the gunot campaign and shit says he a snitch and shit. well its obvious the game is most likley still payin 50 and shit. now, Kanye talkin shit on the President of The United States? yeah he definatley got out of line a little bit to much.
50 is has been in the rap game longer than kayne, 50 has 3 times more hits than kayne, 50 has sold millions of copies over kayne, 50 just nows what hes doin in the rap game, he know when to sell his shit and when his shit is gunna drop hot like usual. love to 50 and Kayne, both great artists but 50 is the better rapper in this one.
Even If 50 does lose, I don't think he will stick to his word.
Did you ORDER your copy TODAY?
