Kanye is 3-0, The Battle Is Over?
It looks like the most hyped up battle of the year was a major flop. We will see what happens in the upcoming months, but it will take a major single from 50 Cent to catch up.
Week 3 Sales
Kanye West – 133,000, Total: 1,316,000
Curtis- 71,000 Total: 905,000
What’s going on with the Houston movement, Cham has sold 106,678 in his first 2 weeks. The industry is shaky, sell CDs while you can…
Suggestion Box

Where is 50???? He’s been pretty quiet lately.
Cham… poor thing.
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:56 am
wow i thought cham would do so much better thats really sad
and congratulations to Kanye keep bringing us Hits
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:56 am
50 is should drop the song with Akon as a single, the streets is feeling it. And I feel bad for Cham he had the best album this year and sold so little, well its also his fault doe, cause he didnt drop a single no where close the drop date, he need to go on and do that right now
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:57 am
The Cham CD is so much better than Kanye or 50’s
Thats a shame he is sellin so much less than them
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:59 am
plz cham shit aint better than no 50 n kanye ya niggaz be gassing i dont know were ya ears be at some weird fuckn music listners i swear
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:59 am
Fiddy aint never got shit to say post cd release. Im so happy people stopped falling for the bully approach that fiddy loves to use as his cd is about to drop. He always has something to say to artist about marketing their project, etc… Its time for him to go back to the drawing board and figure out why he aint doing the numbers he expects.
I know why, he has failed to evolve with his economical status. You can only talk about the hood, shooting, killing, and hustling up until the general public knows ur worth less than 2 mil. After 2 mil you cant be out there rappin bout that shit cause we know u aint doin it. They knock Jay for evolving but if he was rappin bout the block, killing, yall would be laughin like, you a CEO how he hustlin. Face it Fiddy its time to switch the style up and if they hate let’em hate and watch the money pile up.
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:07 am
It ain’t looking good for Cham. BTW 50 was right there was no competition, no competition for Kanye that is. Kanye is also 3-0 up in the UK, Kanye is at #5 & 50 is at #6.

# 5 I cosign. You can’t be still hood and you worth over 100 million dollars.I hope it doesn’t go platinum until after 6 months because he dogged The Game about selling 990,000 in the US and 1.4 million world wide. Like Will Smith say it time to “Switch”.
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:21 am
LMAO!!! “but why lil wayne aint respond to 50?” CUZ KANYE GOT 50 ON LOCK! LOL

October 3rd, 2007 at 11:33 am
Graduation is a a great album but Curtis isn’t bad either definitely better then the Massacre.
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:33 am
I haven’t seen ANY promotion for Chamillionaire. NONE!
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:47 am
bout the hood i agree im so sik of niggas sayin i rap about wat ic yea yea all these niggas getin rich of of our struggle fuk ya lyfe-its a movement fuk ya laws-fatherin young listeners-fingerin young lesbians-famous young latins-fearless young lords-forever yapin lames-follow ya leader
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:49 am
Just shows how good music means nothing these days, only the promotion and beef n hype.
ppl complain hip hop is dead, its the fans that killed it, too easily manipulated.
People have to invent themselves or ppl will get fed up with the same old ‘formula’ but if they do change ppl call em fake, they cant win
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:49 am
co sign 8 2 i hate 50 i think hes played out but my brother got bothh they cds n curtis is over massacre n i think up to if not better then graduation o n graduation is wak compared to kanyes first 2 cds n thats realtalk fuk ya lyfe
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:50 am
The battle has BEEN over…50 went into hiding, while YE is enjoying the good life…
…Chamillionaire needs better marketing, cuz his album is serious…He’s definately being overlooked…107,000 units in 2 weeks?…That’s an insult for that nigga…
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:58 am
it sucks to say it but yup 50 is pretty much done….dude needs to reinvent himself or come out wit some classic type sh*t to get back on top..THA ROC is runnin shit now!!! its funny how early in his career 50 always said consistency is the key to success and it seems like the most consistent and successful rapper out right now is Kanye not to mention his big brother j-hova
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:00 pm
it dosnt matter anyway.. jay bought cd’s for the whole def jam camp including there family relative so at the end of the day… 50 could of had simple bought 2,000,000 of his cd’s the first day and called it a win
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:05 pm
Cham was never a big seller first week out.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:13 pm
chams flow annoys the shit out of me, but niggas feel him, so i aint trippin. not surprised by the kanye numbers. i really wish 50 would live up to his word and not do a solo album. f it leave the game and just get money.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:17 pm
[...] vs. 50 cent war is officially over According the 3rd week sales numbers, Kanye has won once again. Although, he only sold 1.3million copies so far which is [...]
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:33 pm
IS THE INDUSTRY CRASHING???
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Wow…..alot of haters……
The person making the real money is Universal which owns both of them…..So the white man is laughing to the bank once again….
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:50 pm
yall are some kanye dick riders so thats how yalkk dress huh bunch of fuckin pink polo wearin muthafuckas with gay remarks kanye’s record is gonna do probably 3.5 million worldwide 2.8 in the states and 50 is already 3.2 million worldwide and its only been 3 weeks!! but kanye is catchin up with 2.3 million check the united world chart bitches 50 is runnin this ya’ll can hate but 50 right now is shootin his movie wit al pacino and robert dinero for the whole month of october thats why ya’ll aint hear frm him lately realtalkny your a fuckin fagget supportin kanye we dont dress like that nigga down he in bk
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Sylvia Rhone is actually the VP of Universal and she is a BLACK FEMALE…Gotta love it…Just thought i’d throw that out there…
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:10 pm
i guess worldwide sells dont count cuz fif is winning!
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Dang, people are bandwagon hating. Dudes is saying 50 is over, how? He sold 905k in 3 weeks, who else has done that (beside Kanye) recently. Plus when the I get money remix video comes out that’s gonna boost him up, because not only is he gonna go all in promoting that, its on Jay’s album so the song will get more promotion. Plus, I wanna know the worldwide sales before yall say he’s finished. But either way it doesn’t matter, cuz it dont put anymore money in my pocket.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Fif hasn’t even cracked PLATINUM status yet in the country he lives in…maybe 3rd week around will be a charm…
…When the “almighty” fall, they fall HARD…That sh*t has GOTTA hurt his ego…Ouch…
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:27 pm
*I meant 4th week…LOL…
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:30 pm
its not even a big magine i wonder what kanye was braging about they is no way he can be better than 50 in terms of everything
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:43 pm
50 went from selling 8 millioin to 1 million…cham went from 2 million to 100,000 ITS OFFICIALLY OVER FOR CD SELLING….niggas better invest in trying to make money some other way..cause its over for cd’s!!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:01 pm
LOL THEY ALL DID BETTER THEN SWIZZ BEATS GARBAGE ASS SHIT !!!! DOING 45,000.00 HIS FIRST WEEK. NO WONDER HE SHOT THAT CHEAP ASS TOP DOWN VIDEO.. YO I GIVE KANYE PROPS FOR STILL MOVING OVER 130,000.OO UNITS 3 WEEKS IN. HE’LL END UP AT 2.5 MILLION BEFORE THE YEARS OUT. THATS TREMENDOUS, THATS IN THE US.. GLOBALY HE’LL BE SEEING 3.2 GOOD WORK MAN .. “”
—. YE, 50 AND CHAM IS DOIN BETTER THEN ALL OUR BROKE ASSES YAPPING OUR MOUTHS ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD AND TEXTIN WHILE THEY MAKING MONEY EVERY MINUTE EVERY SPIN OF A RECORD.. THATS REAL MAN”"
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:02 pm
IN HIS 3RD WEEK* I MEANT
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:14 pm
50 just didnt connect this time sorry fifth maybe if u focus on making good music instead of beefin wit niggas u would do better but i think ppl just tired of the bullshit wit u better luck next time but buck the only nigga i fuck wit that buck the world was a classic to me but besides that g unit over sorry g-unit d riders oh and far as those sells ITS LOOKING BAD FOR HIP HOP A DO ANYBODY WANNA GUESS HOW MUCH SOULJA BOY GONE SELL FIRST WEEK ????????? LOL
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:25 pm
50, come out come out wherever you are LOL! We haven’t seen him since we found out he loss!
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Chamillionaire needs better marketing, cuz his album is serious…He’s definately being overlooked…107,000 units in 2 weeks?…That’s an insult for that nigga…
I feel you man. Him and Talib Kweli had classic albums this year and they aint selling shit! We need to start buying people. Don’t cheat yourself people. When an artist puts out an album and notice I said ARTIST, not rapper, puts out an album we need to go and support them.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:52 pm
GOOD LOOK KANYE’ ON 50 PART I SAW IT COMING I TOLD YOU HE SUCK THATS RIGHT I SAID SUCK!!
PS. FUCK 50 FUCK 50 FUCK 50
@
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:52 pm
The reason why no one has seen 50 cent is becasue he is shooting a film with deniro and pacino. Does he also not have other ventures he is attending to.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:58 pm
well i knew kanye was gonna win but fiddy is still selling mad records, no reason to pull a cam’ron and go into hiding LOL SMH
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:01 pm
LOOK I DON’T KNOW WHY ANYONE ISN’T EVEN THINKING THIS FOR A REASON WHY HE SOLD SO MUCH MORE THAN 50 IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE 50 HATERS THAT IS THE REASON WHY THEY BOUGHT THE CD SO HE COULD “RETIRE” LIKE HE SAID THAT IS THE REAL REASON AND IM NOT A 50 “STAN” HE JUST RUN SHIT NO MATTER WHAT THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WANNA GET RID OF HIM SO THEY CAN EAT BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT HE RUNS SHIT
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:02 pm
cham is doing good numbers
he’ll be Gold by Early 2008
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:18 pm
I think 50 really needs to release 2 strong more singles and he might have a chance but Kanye released good life and thats doing really good right now and I think he’s gonna release flashing lights next and i’m sure that will do well too. 50 really has to put out something good to compete cuz his track wit robin thicke aint really getting much attention
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:30 pm
battle? what battle? i said it six weeks ago kanye would would kill currrrrrrrrrtissssssssssssss
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:31 pm
^^^I Have a feeling he is gonna release that Nicole joint wit Buck I ain’t made my mind up about that song tho. I would go wit ‘Still Kill’ but the lyrical content won’t be suitable for the radio to give it mad spins. Kanye picked the right singles.
@ #36
It is true he has mad hate but remember he sold 1.4 mil in 4 days on the massacre and curtis isn’t even close to that and it’s been 3 weeks so I don’t think you can blame it on the haters the simple fact is he has lost alot of fans.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:33 pm
G-unit is done,
oh well you can’t stay on top forever.
Guess that means it’s time to finally toss them G-unit shirts and kicks in the trash can.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Yeah, Kanye won….but 50 still sold 905K in 3 weeks…. itz still great!!!!
but Cham…itz a shame!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:09 pm
Graduation>curtis
Ultimate Victory>curtis
Graduation>ultimate victory
thats realtalk,it shoulda been fif and cham cuz fif can’t compare to ye,that’s jay’s lil brother aka one of the hottest lyricist in tha game…go on some1 ya level fif,like soulja boy or lil mama lmao.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:11 pm
i think that that list is wrong for real both of them sold more then that. and how the hell ya gonna say that 50 is falling off when his album went platinum. ya nigga are just some haten ass kanye lovers who would probably suck kanye dick if he payed ya. just because 50 brought out 2 single that flop ya saying he fall off. but then when ‘i get money’ come on ya say that he the best. and i bet once 50 bring out a raw ass joint ya ganna be on his dick watch. and in the long run 50 will outsell kanye wack ass graduation album ………..kanye is a dorky ass nigga who act white.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Houston’s done, but “Still Tippin’” is still > Cham’s career.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:41 pm
im from chitown just like kanye that nigga grow up in the hood. now that he got money his ass left the hood left chitown and didn’t come back to visit only when he performs. kanye never had common twista or r.kelly on his album. see when i listen to kanye album i be like were common, were r.kelly, were twista, he doesn’t have them on the album. but instead he working with down south artist and white artist. i mean were the black chitown artist at like common, twista, r.kelly. i mean he make music for white people and black folk are feeding in to it. but when i call my self ‘white boy’ ya diss my name i call my self ‘white boy’ to poke fun at kanye for acting white. i mean i use to like kanye when he made black music witch was his last 2 album. but with this album he went straight white on the featuring and with his style in clothing. and then when he try to make a classic song he sample it from a white artist and people be feeding of it. all im saying is that kanye need to stop with his whole dressing white and acting white and making white music to me his album ain;t classic or hiphop it white and that my opinion for real.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:43 pm
Damn how could fifty win he was behind da 8ball from the start.He was up against Kanye fans fat Joe fans Nas fans Cam fans etc… people love 2 build guys up, and u know what comes next they tear them down so Kanye is living the good life now but the clock is ticking the hate is coming.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:53 pm
kanye should of work with talib kwali, common, lupe fiasco, in stead of them white artist……. chris martin, john mayor, and punk daft, no disrespect….the album ain’t all that…at least 50 work with different artist artist on his album and kept it hood… but ya are to afraid to admitt it.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:20 pm
ya nigga were dumb enough to buy a album that was made for the white folk…..ya really need to get check to see if ya really hood cause to be a lot of ya kanye fans are ‘b.s’ and i don’t mean ‘bullshit’…….. more like ‘born stupid’
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:21 pm
MAN CHAM LOOKS LIKE A WIDE MOUTH BASS WITH BREADS .. IM SORRY .. DUDE HAS WAY TOO MANY DAMN TEETH IN HIS MOUTH… ITS LIKE HE A CROSS BETWEEN A FROG AND SOME SORTA FISH… UGG MUGG ALL DAY YOU CANT MARKET THAT DAMN FACE
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:34 pm
#48 I agree with you about the Kanye features but 50 had Justin Timberlake and Nicole & Robin Thick he ain’t keepin it hood with features like that either. They are talented but they are not hood!
But I think both albums have there dope moments. It’s a bold statement but ‘Still Kill’ is one of my favorite joints this year.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:49 pm
yo Mike- Ye did work with all of them for quite some time and he will keep doing that in the future. Do you know about G.O.O.D. Music ? No? Google it! I’m not even gonna say anything about all that dumb ass shit you posted on here. That’s the most ignorant sh!t I’ve seen on here in a while. No, I don’t wanna do that e-thuggin thing wid chu now. coz u must be 14. Don’t get me wrong ain’t nuffin wrong with being 14, I’ve been 14 years old as well at one time in my life – believe it or not. In case you should be 22 and up then I just feel sorry for your a$$.. that’s not because you’re hatin on Ye, that’s because of all dat race & clothes bs you are so kind to share with us. lol and no I’m not gonna reply to anything you post below..
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:46 pm
yo who cares who sold more its about wat u like ppl r dum get work up for nothing lame
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:51 pm
mike……………….white boy.. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS ACTING WHITE OR WHAT IS ACTING BLACK…? (SMH) Statements like that is ignorant and keep that racism shit going. I remember when music didnt have a color.. What you know about hall in oats or Phil Collins.. or whitney huston.. they have fans of all colors.. because good music is good music.. You think motown or tina turner became big because we (black people)were the only ones buying that stuff? Music that reaches all races is good stuff and you cant hate on that…
case in point .. say what you want about michael jackson but the thriller album had people in 3rd world countries dancing..
Im not mad at ya but i think some of you are locked in a box and all you know is “HOOD” music. Expand a little..
October 3rd, 2007 at 8:18 pm
This aint no surprise.
October 4th, 2007 at 9:14 am
OH BUSHWICK, you finally emerged and showed yourself.. funny though, you dont seem as confident anymore in your man,… 3 weeks and your man still aint platinum… he lost every fukin week to Kanye.. now, if Kanye is the gay rapper and all that, and 50 cant even sell more than him,…. man, i dont even have to say anymore.. the #’s speak for themselves, right.. hahhahahahah
I TOLD YOU THIS SHIT WOULD HAPPEN MONTHS AGO!!!
October 4th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
whatever fif still on top in total world wide sales
October 4th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
happy for yay… but damn my man chamm aint doin too good.. and that album is dope too.
