Its official! Kanye West beat 50 cent in their sales battle. West’s “ graduation” album outsold 50 Cent’s ‘curtis’ in the first week sales, 957000 to 691000 copies and that’s a huge margin of victory at about 266000 copies more. But let me tell you every blockbuster opens up in the first week very well because of huge expectations and the underdog will have a quite opening, wait until a couple of weeks have passed and then you should have a re look at the sales number. Wasn’t this exactly what 50 Cent predicted? That Kanye would beat him in the first week but he would bulldozer over him in the following weeks that Kanye’s hype would wear off as soon as people realized that it’s nothing but crap, Not that I care. 50 Cents is a close minded criminal and Kanye is a little Bitch. Kanye might have won the battle and I admit to that but the war is not over. There are small battles that are always won and lost but what matters is who wins that war.
50 Cent has slammed the bosses of cable music show “106 & Park” for failing to let him know rap rival Kanye West would be joined by hip-hop heavyweight Jay-Z during a TV face-off on Tuesday. I think 50 needs to just go ahead and retire. EVERYTHING IS NOT ALWAYSZ ABOUT YOU. 50 had the opportunity to do whatever he wanted on 106 Park. He has all of his smart (he claims that he is very smart and acute in all business senses) comments he is claims he is the best, then he should have thought of bringing Eminem not West problems. 50 Cent is just MAD because he was upstaged by West. West new what he had to do to sale them records. GO WEST! Sit it down 50 its over. Gy him have only one weapon in their hands and that is to way their tongues at every given opportunity and even when its not their chance to speak, they’ll come out and say the nicest things about themselves. 50 Cent, please leave for good.
The showdown has come to Rolling Stone magazine’s cover. Kanye West and 50 Cent are featured on the latest cover of the magazine highlighting the fact that their albums would be dropping on the same date of September 11th in less than a week.
There’s an accompanying article entitled ‘Who Will Be the King of Hip Hop?’ where 50 pretty much talks Kanye down. 50 says that he had the highest-selling LB of 2003 and his 2005 released was the second-highest-selling album of that year. He goes on to compare Jay-Z’s recent sales to segue into saying that Kanye is merely a worker bee for Jay-Z and that Kanye can never generate as much interest.
Burn!
Earlier in the week, 50 cent said that he’s going to stop putting out solo records if his arch rival Kanye West’s new album outsells his when they drop on the same day next month. Get ready with your retirement plans 50.
They might be getting equal promotion at the very top of the iTunes store but Kanye is still outselling 50 when it comes to pre-orders. Kanye is up at #3 on the iTunes Top Albums chart while 50 is only at #9. On the singles chart, Kanye’s kick-off song ‘Stronger’ is at #2 while 50’s ‘Ayo Technology’ is at #10.
It seems that not even Justin Timberlake’s collaboration could help 50. Game over.
