Can 50 Cent Win A Round 2 Against Kanye West?(US Sales)

Another moment in the show that had everyone talking was when 50 had fun with Kanye West, doing his own rendition of “Love Lockdown.” Yayo said the crew was just having a good time and that they would welcome another SoundScan showdown with Mr. West. Kanye’s 808’s & Heartbreak and 50’s Before I Self Destruct are due in December, one week apart from each other.

“That’ll be fun,” Yayo noted. “In my eyes, I don’t think Kanye will never be bigger than Fif, no matter what his numbers do.”

Source: MTV

I don’t see any reason why the results wouldn’t be the same…

So international sales don’t count anymore?

So I guess if ‘hits’ from your website came from other than the US, you not gonna count them?

Your a fuckin idioit. YOUR WHOLE WEBSITE IS HERE TO BRAINWASH PPL AGAINST 50 CENT. YOU TRY AND MAKE PPL COMMENT AGAINST 50 IN ANY WAY.

But it is what it is.
Like they say though, “KARMA IS A BITCH”

pathetic, sad, desperate times call for desperate measures
we can all agree that MUSICALLY, not bizness wise or financially. but MUSICALLY kanye is still peaking, and 50 is declining. kanye dont need, nor give 2 fucks about what 50 say, what music 50 make, and when 50 album drop.
but gunit all seems to care about kanyes moves.
they should be ashamed, supposed to be the hardest crew out, and they obsessed wit a nigga singing love lockdown on autotune. thats not a good look, they might as well smack up children in the street, oh wait , they did that already.

If fif dont have a “get money” or “In the club” up his sleeve his album not gonna go plat… Kanye with the gay shit he on right now will still out sell him cause he got the nerds and gay fan base that fif dont hav! fif need that steet club banger to get him the #’s he need and want! He should drop after slim shady and really build some momentum for his album… Most people lookin for ti and jay right now.

16.
2cents wrote on September 17th, 2008 at 9:27 pm

BISD should be better he been workin on it since he had those issues with Cam… The curtis album was suppose to be bisd and to compare a project like that to something Kanye thru together in how long which is on more some emo rock ish is funny… but I can see the similarities is the same music generally with a curtis street thug twist to it…lol!

I’d rather compare previous works… 50’s 1st album vs kanye’s and so on… and the comparison ain’t based on sales (national or international) it’s based on the music!

but 2 albums one week apart is NO DUEL. 2 albums on the SAME DAY is a duel.

I personally think that if they both do that competition shit again it would be a great business move and entertaining for hiphop and im def gonna cop both album.

And for all you non coppin ass blogs that don’t buy album ya’ll should shut the fuck up cuz ya’ll ain’t buying album but bootleggin and also not buying them.

50 gotta make sure he can do at least another 700k the first week. And from TOS sales its no guarantee. He got his next record deal counting on it.

Results could end up different if he had more “I Get Money” type records. Entertainment industry loves a comeback. Plus hes the underdog for the first time in his career. Win or lose in regards to sales, 50 wins!

Curtis isn’t competing with Kanye anymore. He may drop his album at the same time, but after the first round knockout, its a wrap for him this yr. 50 has NO buzz, even with an iffy single from West. Kanye always drops an immediate smash, so expect nothing less this time around. Diamonds wasn’t thought of as the be-all-to-end-all when it dropped, so Love Lockdown isnt that either.

As I said before, 50 and Kanye aint in the same market. Never wore, never will. Kanye does rap 2 a more “pop” sound, while 50 does it abit more hardcorestyle. I appreciate them both, but u cant really compare them.

Tru wrote on September 18th, 2008 at 9:23 am

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson needs to realize that his time is over. He’s trying to hard to stay relevent. He wasted his entire career trying to destroy other artist’s career and now he’s destoying his own from within. Now he’s a great businessman, however, the only reason he has so much money is because of endorsements.

Kanye West isn’t concerned if he doesn’t sell albums this time. As we can plainly see, he is in his own world and he is trying to make innovative music. He is a creative genius. He is all about his art. That’s why a lot of people can’t open their eyes and appreciate Love Lockdown (or act like they don’t like it because of peer pressure). Now, he is risky when it comes to stepping out of the box, but that’s what made some of the greatest music in our time.

So in reality it comes down to this: If 50 really feels that he can outsell Kanye (even though Kanye really doesn’t care either way), he needs to reinvent himself and give us timeless music (Get Rich or Die Tryin’).

53.
SMH wrote on September 18th, 2008 at 10:11 am

I’m tired of nigga’s saying “50 Cent is over” “his career is done”. An international superstar’s career doesn’t end that easily. Y’all nigga’s hate him as a ma’fucka in the US, but worldwide he’s the G.O.A.T. to millions of others.

217k(lmao)...its over wrote on September 18th, 2008 at 10:51 am

Fuck 50, I think thats the first thing to say. I think its a wrap he oversaturated the market early in his career he got the money. now I dont think any really gets excited to hear his music (domestically) he has fans but just look at T.O.S. 217K those numbers are trash nigga piles is gold. when piles can make an album and go gold and 50 cant its a wrap. and worldwide Jay-Z is the G.O.A.T. just ask live nation the biggest touring company in the world. Kanye I think makes music that actually connects with people and 50 trying to remake a hit from GRODT or something music is supposed to move forward not backwards. It’s a wrap. 50 sells records over sea’s I know that but here in AMERICA where home is this niggas is DONE being the biggest thing in hip hop.

55.
Tru wrote on September 18th, 2008 at 11:17 am

I completely agree with 54. If he wants to continue to be relevent, 50 needs to move overseas. America has pretty much written him and G-Unit out of the equation when it comes to good music. And That’s Tru.

WHITE BOY....................Im still coppin both albums wrote on September 18th, 2008 at 12:15 pm

Does 50 even care about U.S sells compare to worldwide i mean 3.7mill/3.2mill its all about worldwide sell. When you talk about worldwide sell the U.S ain’t shit compared to worldwide nobody would give a fuck about the U.S. And 50 win the worldwide sell he probably took an L in America do to the non important haters. But worldwide vs U.S is a big difference its like one dog vs ten cat the dog might be bigger but their still ten cats lol. And in my opinion if 50 took an L in the U.S then kanye took an L worldwide which is worst. And if worldwide sells doesn’t count then that means alot of ya’ll favorite rappers albums totally flop. And whats this whole bullshit about kanye not caring about 50 shouldn’t that be the other way around but imma still cop both album tho..lol

@62…Are you on Crack…50 has sold more albums than jay-z, get real…50’s two albums sold alot but jay-z is pushing 50 or 60 million sold. Jay-z has more number albums than fucking Elvis! I mean jay has alot of albums but so what he never dropped anything that sold 217k. The dude is falling off it happens to everyone even jay to a certain extent…but jay will never drop anything that does 217k. And yeah 50 is over jay in the forbes this because of the 100 million he got from coco-cola but they didnt count the 150 million jay got from live Nation. Kanye makes heart felt music even if some people dont feel it. 50 is just trying to make the next million. I will but Kanye album and I dont fuck with 50.

ANIHILATOR wrote on September 18th, 2008 at 5:26 pm

I dont think so. His tos album is 217k so far. That right there says he has lost his swagga. People aren’t interested in him no more. And he has more to prove now that he couldn’t sell not even gold yet. Kanye has outpaced him. You dont have to be gangsta to out sell your opponent. PLus he already is “JA RULE”…. Kanye will outsell even if he is singing with the vocader. Kanye never said he was a gangsta rapper nor a street rapper. So people gonna buy his albums and parents would buy their kids kanye album before a 50 album. Kanye does it for the love.. And now 50 is doing it just to keep his name
relevant. Although 50 got Bank is doesnt matter…

65.
ANIHILATOR wrote on September 18th, 2008 at 5:33 pm

50 was a breath of fresh air when he came out. Now he is just 50. Even game outsold him on their recent albums. The only way he can sell like last year this time if he goes at JAY, LIL WAYNE OR TI…. And u know Jay aint gonna give him the time of day…..lil weezy can really get his swagga up if he goes at 50, and I think weezy can get him. Ti aint even gonna listen to dude….he’ll just get alfamega handle 50.

Benjamin$ wrote on September 19th, 2008 at 4:03 am

Most of Ya’ll Niggas on here are pretty stupid. 50 won overall sales, Kanye won in America(the most important country)& some other country. But 50 won mostly everywhere else. By the way, for the dude that said 50 barely went platinum in the U.S., I was reading a blog from a person who has the soundscan subscription and he reported the numbers: 50 is almost at 3 mill & Kanye is almost at 4 mill (Both US Sales). 50 of course destroyed in worldwide sales and beat him overall, but not by much. SO THERE IT IS NIGGASSS, stop reporting false facts. Oh Yeah, for the people that say 50 is not innovative and can’t rap about real shit, what about songs like: Baltimore Love Thing, Ghetto Quaran, God Gave Me Style, Hustlaz Ambition, The Entire Power of The Dollar Album, and I haven’t even got to Get Rich yet. Look The Curtis album was also a really really hot album, I don’t care what other people say. Half of these niggas don’t know what real hip hop is anyway. I listen to everybody, and every artist in the game has something to offer, whether it be little or a large amount. They are both great artists. and to say 50 is not legit, is a mistake on your part. Now if 50 can somehow swallow his pride sometimes and just close his mouth, he would be alright. Don’t forget, if it wasn’t for 50, nobody would know Game, Banks , or Buck. at least not worldwide anyway. I’m tellin ya’ll 50 is the truth, what he lacks in his lyrical game, he makes up for in his thought process. Y’all will found out what I’m talking about in the near future.

I finally figured out why RealTalkNY is always going at 50. ThisIs50.com has been stealing your customers huh. Awww that’s why u always feel the need to go against the ni99a with idiotic statements like 50 will never be biger than Kanye…negro have you been smokin’? Where was 50 on the Forbes list and where was Kanye? What is 50’s international value as opposed to Kanye’s? Please stop being idiotic before I stick to ThisIs50.com for good and cut you out completely. You’re beginning to whine, so just report facts and stop with these assinine, far-reaching opinions.

Officer Ross you’re my favorite Blogger and Yea 50’s argument doesn’t stick because he was talkin about first week sales, in the US at least but the only thing that matters is worldwide sales seeing as how the US dollar is continually declining and the Euro and Pounds are way higher than ours. Internationally, 50 is the biggest superstar, even if you count Jay. But Before I Self Destruct is gonna be mad hot cause I’m starting to see old 50 again. All his freestyles over beats like I can’t believe and all that has been like “old 50″ so I’m loving that. Kanye’s album is gonna b home but the Love LockDown song he was going for a masterpiece and missed. Period.

50 music sucks more and more by the minute,not cause he wack because he relaxed this seems to happen to every rapper who gets to much bread,the music always seems to suffer and kanye is agenious but he gets wierder by the day..and im sick of his woman factor..temper tantrums and such who cares if they go head up again……sales dont mean shit to tru heads anyway.

kayne.vs.50cent.
bear.vs.gorilla.

all i can say is 50 and kayne are both great artist if we go records 50 wins

if we go hardest rapper 50 wins

if we go on who is the better in the public eye 50 wins

and now ill tell you why 50 is doing work outside of rap and doesnt need to win anything if 50 doesnt bring up joe ja or nas …fuck it even jada who else talks about them good or bad??…no fucking body fifty made game career bucks and ended ja’s 50 does stir up beef but as far as i can tell he tells the truth here is a couple points they say 50 snitches to the cops …now when 40 glocc and spider loc surrounded lil wayne and birdmans suv wayne called the police and no one said nothing when buck cried on the phone saying he needed 50 no one said shit when 50 buried nas jada ja and joe in the dirt with rhymes everyone talked shit about him but when they all got caught up like when 50 said ill fight fat joe and joe said he aint want no beef no one said shit when 50 said game only did well on his first cd cause he helped everyone talked shit when games second cd flopped it was because 50 still owned him so he didnt try??? when ja couldnt get his cd to go paper no one said shit when nas came out with his flop cd no one said shit when 50 called him out everyone said 50 was stupid and nas was way better BUT! when nas could not hit 50 with a good diss no one said shit when nas supposed to be so great buckled to jay and signed with him no one said shit look hate on 50 all you want but go to sleep on this 50 has beefed with fat joe ja rule game jada styles p jay-z nas cam-ron buck all of them he has crushed jada styles p both wanna sign to him ja …who is ja?? joe cant sell he needs to beef with 50 to stay in eyes game got crushed in sales cam-ron he is hiding while jim jones and juelz santana get down with fif and jay-z he is to old to beef the only reason he is mad is because 50 dissed his bitch on a kiss at the vma’s

now as far as kayne goes if he is the best hip hop rap artist right now then justin timberlake is second kayne is r/b he has never made any kind of rap its all r/b even lil wayne loves 50 up until fif wouldnt give him no answer wayne wanted to tour with g-unit for the carter 3 t.o.s. tour cause every mc knows you make money on tour and who is he best at that HMMMM….g-unit look all this shit up i could care less who wins in sales cause im going to buy 50’s shit and kayne imma download
and fyi kaynes r/b attracts 10 year olds no rap artist thats real has a fan base that young c-mon people hate 50 all you want but dude is killing it in the rap/business game better than anyone

He backed down from GAME. GAME PUT THE HEAT ON THEM. tHE REASON 50 DONT GO AT GAME IS BECAUSE GAME WILL EAT HIS ASS UP. NOT BECAUSE HE STILL GETS MONEY FROM GAME PRIOR DEAL. BECAUSE IF THAT’S THE CASE 50 LOVES MONEY SO HE GONNA WAR WITH ANYBODY. BUT WITH GAME AND HIS GHOST-WRITER, HE NOWS LYRICALLY GAME WILL SPIT THAT NICCA OUT…….

AND HONESTLY 50 MADE THE BISGGEST MISTAKE BY KICKIN GAME OUT. HE HAS OUTSOLD BANKS, YAYO, AND MOBB. IF GAME WAS STILL GUNIT HIS RECORDS WOULD HAVE SOLD GOOD NUMBERs and g-unit would still be poppin….

i wanna say one thing sorry for all my other post on here i just wanna say to 50 and kayne

do what you do people your last battle was the biggest selling hip hop week ever but note to everyone
why do people always hype up cd sales for all rap artist ????
no one does this with any other genre only hip hop/rap why dont people just let this shit just come out we hate so much on the other rapper against who we feel is the best when if we showed both love people would go out and buy both cd’s

now on that note i feel kayne vs 50 is a mismatch
reason why kayne considers himself hardcore hip hop
so does fifty only difference is fifty really is a rap artist while kayne is if anything besides pop he is hip pop not hip hop for real you tell me one track he does where you say that was hip hop i like kayne but he is rapping political/louis vutton/top fashion/dancing music thats not rap people while fifty raps about violence ho’s and drugs which is hip hop/rap both men are great but fifty truly cant win because to many people hate on him not us bloggers cd stores wont hold as many 50 cd’s as they will kaynes and it aint cause of sales its because fifty has hardcore music and kayne sells to crowds of 40 year olds down to 9 year olds i have no problem with that but parents wont let their kids listen to hard rap so fifty loses there cause kayne aint hardcore like he claims but butalso people who do ride for kayne should understand this when he is at award shows he has been known for calling his fans dumb insane out of their minds and he throws fits on stage as fifty when he dont win says back to the lab gotta hit my fans with better music very humble but this is just my opinon no more no less but it is all facts check it out hopefully both sell a mill first week or atleast out sell weezy’s weak cd

^^^
you dont have to rhyme about ho’s and guns to be considered hip hop/ rap…..no offense, but i think you need to expand your hip hop catalog to know that fact is most definitely true…

…i give Ye Ye big ups for moving the album to Nov. smart move, since he doesn’t want to give 50 anymore fame, attention, and/or money than what’s needed….
