What's your point? You do know the beef between him and Kanye was nothing but a gimmick to sale records. With over a million sales already, I say the man still came out on top. T.I. finally went platinum about a month ago and how long has King been out? Rap is on the decline and it's becoming increasingly difficult for even the most popular artist to have stronger numbers than previous years.

he isn't platinum yet, if this was a gimmick to drum up sales it only worked for one person.

as for TI when TI sells 6 million like curtis likes to famously brag then you could compare the two, but as Curtis reminded us only a few weeks ago Kanye, wayne, TI, etc... aren't in his "league".

Oh, well he should be. Both albums suck anyway. I do have high hopes for souljah boy, he's about shit on all these cats.

 

[BDR]

Put up Kanye's numbers then we can talk, your point is one sided homes

Exactly...

"Kanye West's Def Jam album "Graduation" continues its decline, slipping 2-5 with a 41% sales slip to 133,000."

True. I have noticed that Jay-Z has been getting 50 to work on the Freeway project, and he is working on LL's project too. It would not suprise me if this was all a marketing ploy to help Def Jam.

71000 white boys and dumb ass chicks

 

[sitai]

he officially pass a mil next week.. in the states
and he's already sold 2.5 worldwide, so he will sell at least 4mil overall, thats about as much as i would have predicted

oops!

There's a number of brainwashed blacks in there, too (the main source of credibility for somebody like 50, "the streets")-- but you go it for the most part.

That's why 50's going to look really bad (with all this talk of numbers) when Eminem finally comes out... I don't think he'll sell like at his peak, but I think he'll blow 50's numbers away.

 

[TEN]

yall nigguhs sound silly, these are good sales figures for 2007

 

[kd1338]

Name one artist that still sells the same each album? From Prince 2 Stevie 2 Janet. 50 cent may have lost the battle but he won the war,cause dat nigga is rich

 

[Heist]

I'm no 50 Cent fan per se, but he's already sold close to 2.5 MM Worldwide.
He'll probably be Platnium in America in about 2-3 weeks.

And frankly, that's absolutely NOTHING to laugh about especially in today's music economy.

The days of going platnium the first day out are LONG GONE given that you can get a copy of the FULL ALBUM on the internet or file sharing sites 2-3 weeks before the shit even hits retail.

where are you getting your numbers from i never heard anything even remotely close to that 2.5 world wide

post that shit here. i hope you aren't pulling numbers at your ass

 

[Swayze2k]

50 lost in the states, but he winning the war !!! Kanye has the perception from the Unit haters that he on top, but numbers don't lie !!! 2.5mil !!! Its still 50 !!!

 

[jaffyjafer]

[smiffnwessun]

[the_monsterous_monster]

....taking into effect mass music piracy due to the advent of the internet, Kanye and 50 posted solid numbers in today's music climate....finito...

 

[Thick Johnson]

Wild part is I got it here free and deleted everything but "Follow my lead."

and the engineer shoulda rolled the bass off them hook vocals.....biatch


I hope all these destructive minded *^%%$s sales do the same.

 

[johniz]

My question is, how much did Master P sell?

 

[MrMotivator]

people keep saying the industry is down bootleggers got this round yet two years ago the industry was down but 50 still sold 6 million for The Massacre now all of a sudden he is taking a L and everybody is making excuses for him

Kanye is selling the exact same he did two years ago why is he unaffected by this industry downturn go check it out same exact position he was in two years ago first second and third week sales all consistent. Don't give me that bullshit the industry is "wack" now excuses when all they push is some bullshit with finger snapping of course the industry is going to do poorly you are selling regional music across the country. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. But that has zero baring on the ability for a artist to sell records people are still buying something. They just don't spend their money on shit anymore.

Don't buy into the RIAA propaganda the music industry isn't on its last leg when good music comes out it still sells well ask Corinne Bailey Rae hell even Robin Thicke sold well. Most of the albums that bombed like Pharoah Monche and Talib nobody even know when their release date was they just showed up in the stores the next day with no radio play, no promotion don't use that as an excuse. And the shit they do push on the radio doesn't do well because it is ABSOLUTE SHIT don't use that as a excuse either.


And for christ sake show me where you get Curtis sold 2.5 million around the world already.

 

[keone]

71000 white boys and dumb ass chicks

Basically
Can't forget the male dickriders who need the new, "next big thing (of the week/month/whatever)" to rock to attract them dumb ass chicks
Am suprised curtis aint buy that WeAreTheWorld rap footage from that live concert with him jz, ti, ditti and all the rest up on the stage, then try to pimp that to get more people to copp his shit;
Somebody find out someuseful #s like how much he spent on promo; then talk shit the same way he was picking apart jz and beyonce, calling them one artist with a huge budget who couldnt compete with him

peace
