Fiddy's Gonna Eat His Own Words!

kanye.jpg

50 Cent said earlier this week that he's going to stop putting out records if Kanye West's new album sells more than his when they are both released on the same day next month (September 11th).

Well, it looks like Fiddy's gonna be going in to retirement!

Despite the fact that they are both getting equal promotion in a prime spot (at the very top) of the iTunes store, Kanye is far outselling 50 in pre-orders.

Kanye is selling so much that his new album, Graduation, is #3 on the iTunes Top Albums chart.

Fiddy's Curtis is way behind at #9.

Same thing with the singles. Kanye's kick-off song, Stronger, is going strong at #2 on the iTunes Top Songs chart. And not even Justin Timberlake has been able to help 50 get his single, Ayo Technology, to higher than #10.

Burn!

      Of course Kanye is going to sell more the first week. Its the music business see what will happen is his label [Def Jam] will buy up more records to build hype and keep equal with 50 cent sales. After the first week his sales will dramatically drop. People 50 cent sold 4.85 million copies in the U.S. alone and Kanye sold half that at 2.8 million. You're buying in to the hype. I mean i could give a rats @$$ about rap, im just tellin you how it is.

      That's completely retarded. They both have two different styles of music, and they neither one can "sing"… it's a horrible, monotone voice. As for Fifty's argument… the only Kanye West song I've ever heard on the top radio station around here is that "Golddigger" song. He's really not that popular, in my opinion. I know him more for bitching about stuff than his music. :)

    26. J Bravo says – reply to this


      126

      These types of claims are meaningless considering that artist purchase their own records in bulk to help drive numbers. I personally witnessed Usher buying every Kanye cd in best buy on his last release day. He actually had the employees go into the stock room and bring out every single one so that he could buy them and help his numbers. You can rest assure that 50 will buy as many as he has too in order to not look like a dunce.

      kanye west sucks, not only are his lyrics wack, but hes an idiot and every time he opens his mouth he manages to say something even dumber…. "bi-racial girls are mutts…" suck my dick. you should have stayed in college and learned a thing or two and prevented yourself from becoming the ignorant asshole you are today.

I do not want you to have heart problems. Besides, you are SO cute…don't drown your cuteness in fatness! Do something soon but DON'T starve yourself!!!!!

      Fiddy. He looks like a mix between a hampster and a gorilla. Not a very good blend. I wish he would just stop. All his songs sound the same. I'll admit, I liked his first song when he first began, but now he's got the biggest damn ego…but KANYE is no better. He calls himself and "idol"….I'm sorry but shouldnt you have been in the biz for , like, I dunno…OVER 15 YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN CONSIDER YOURSELF AN "IDOL"?

      On Canadian iTunes, "Stronger" is at #1, "Ayo Technology" is at #16.
      "Graduation" is at #4, "Curtis" is at #24.
      Seems like Canadians have it right…and we'll happily be the first to toast 50 to an early retirement. peace.

      "The people that have pre-ordered it have yet to purchase it….WHICH MEANS that those charts mean JACK. "

      Um, when you pre-order on iTunes you pre-pay for the album so that it's ready to download as soon as it's released on it's release date. So yes, those albums have been pre-purchased, which is why they are in the same album chart as those that are already out.

      hey man no problem when you look at who is on top -I mean is Hairspray and sean Kingston really that fantastic or is it just the flavorable joke of the week- people need to get their egos in check and realise you are what you believe you are and the rest is just gravy! and not all of 50's fans have the money to buy the album but they will get their hands on it one way or another and will love it anyway-so the charts are only a small measurement of success- it's not everything in the long run-

TOO hilarious! so many of you complain about the lyrics, but you buy 85% of the music, so ultimately YOU dictate what's made, based on what sells. anyway hip-hop is about more than the topic. 50 is a FAR better mc than kanye, but YT doesn't know that because you dont' really UNDERSTAND hip-hop. kanye's "message" is better, but he's not a better rapper. speak about what you know YT. stick to john mayer.

      50 made approximately 410 million from the sale of Vitamin water to Coca Cola.
      He owned 10% of the shares outstanding in the company before the sale.
      That plus his music and CLOTHING MAKES HIM WORTH MORE THAN ANY OTHER RAPPER and in the top 5 wealthiest artists in the world.

      He's a tool. He thinks he is basically the 2nd coming of Christ.

      You know what really made me respect Kanye, when he enlightened me with all of his amazing and insighttful political obersvations. But seriously, this guy sucks nuts and any real hip hop fan would most likely concur. I guess at least he has a teenage girl audience though, so that should help slang a few albums or two and help keep him relevant for a few more minutes.

      #168 knows the deal, kanye thinks the reason aid for katrina took so long is because "george bush doesnt like black people". He thinks he would be in a modern day bible and he claims that the government created the aids virus to ruin the black community. Sucks for him that he dropped out of school so he could make shitty club hits and ramble about shit he knows nothing about. The guy supports gay sex and thinks that a sexually transmitted disease came from lab .

      clearly itunes lists are the only well to tell what good music is (sarcasm), they both got beat by the hairspray soundtrack and sean kingstons beautiful girls, i guess that means that they should both go hurl themselves off a bridge or something.

      How is Curtis going to stop making music, when he still owes Interscope 2 more albums? He's full of shit. His music is wack, he talks like he has something in his mouth, and he is constantly talking about someone else's business. Kanye let those chest hairs show kid, fuck Curtis rat ass.

      Who gives a rat's ass? I miss the old days when two rappers didn't like each other, they'd just shoot each other. Yet while both of them are bitching about who will sell more, there sits Dave Grohl (who blows both of these jackasses out of the water…mainly he can ACTUALLY play an instrument instead of sampling one…was that out loud?) and the Foo Fighters sitting in front of them with an album that comes out TWO weeks after these two. I guess people can see through the contrived media bullshit and make a decision for themselves without worrying about "if I don't buy this album, this guy will retire." Great artists don't have to rely on bullshit sales tactics.

      50 cent's music is more of a 'fad' based on an image, nor based on true talent. yes his music is catchy, but will he be hot in 10yrs? no.
      Kanye on the other hand, love him ot hate him, his music has a point of view- along the lines of his predecessor Tupac. Kanye also sings, he doesnt just say the words with as much effort it takes to leave a voicemail, like 50,( with a beat of course)
