So why is it that....

[Meho]

a) When 50 sold as much as he did in his 1st week, people on this forum said that its just becuase of beef and promotion behind him, despite the fact that he had 5 hit singles in Billboard top 10...

b) When Game sells 400.000 with no hits, its all different ?

huh?  i'm a game fan and i like game over 50, but there is no way in hell game is more popular than 50.  50 knows how to make hit singles and appeals to a much broader audience.  i admit that 50 earned his sales through hit songs and brilliant marketing.

for me sales doesn't really have anything to do with music, except i want my favorite artists to sell more so they keep making good music.  sales matters when the artist makes a big deal out of it and shit though, but then they're setting that up for themselves.

EDIT:  I should add that while 50 had help from em and dre, he did some crazy shit with in da club (which IMO is where his fanbase really came from).  best "main" single since "the real slim shady" or "country grammar," maybe even better.

Cool, props for speaking the truth. Not aimed at everbody of course, I just remember how some members here were saying that the only reason 50 sells is because of beefs and promotion machine behind him.

oh yeah, game also hardly had any hooks himself on this album.  again, i like game more, but there are some things that he's just not good at.

if its any consolation to the game fans i bumped the massacre once and then threw that shit in the trash

Rofl back at you. 50 did it with music, which I thought was the key factor in rap and Game did it with beefs and promotion machine behind him.

both know what's up, both are good niggas.

[biggeazy-e]

not like it matters anyway....

that shit is all thrown off, we know most of those sales were made by white kids in iowa who bought 10 copies so they could take a picture and put it on my space 

LMAO @ people with celebrities in their top 8, if they're not in the celebs top 8....

why is it that some people never get tired of gossiping about Game and 50? Start worrying about your own life instead..

I do not think the first album was pushed by beef but the second one had alot of beef surrounding it. He kicked Game out of the group a week before the album dropped and he had mentioned the Piggybank song. If he meant to or not the shit worked.

because we like game now and dont like 50 cent now
