Blueprint vol.2 went 3x platinum, Black Album is 3x within months, but Blueprint only went 2x, plus many people consider Black Album classic..
Now Def Jam president.. if that's how you hurt careers, then it maybe isn't a bad thing at all. :D
I can see Nas taking 50 in a battle, but 50 already sold more in 1 album than Nas in his whole career, so I strongly doubt that 50 will be hurt careerwise.

Blueprint 2 sold in reality 1.5 million since it's a double CD, and for Jigga, that's a very low number. The battle also brought Nas back into the fold, hurt Jay-Z for a while and it TOOK Black Album and the gimmick of retiring before Jay-Z was able to sell like he used to. Blueprint 2 was packaged so many ways after it was considered a flop, they released Blueprint 2.1, they released Blueprint 2 with new tracks, they did everything to pick up it's sales. Nas hurt Jay-Z's street cred, and knocked him off the made up throne. The gimmick retirement is what saved Jay-Z more than anything. Average fans who loved Jay-Z were saying after the battle he needs to give it up, and he just came off a classic.
Now what 50 is doing is even more dangerous, 'cause Nas is just one of the rappers. Nas is the last artist I think any high selling star should mess with. His due for another classic album, and to put a great diss track on there would cap off that album. I don't see Eminem or Game or Dr. Dre helping 50 the same way they did Ja Rule. Ja Rule dissed everyone first, I don't see Jada doing that, or Nas. So in this, it's G-Unit vs. the world. Who knows, Jada may do what Nas did against Jay-Z and used that battle to get heard and to go platnum. But 50 Cent set himself up to lose, I don't see 50 pulling this off, unless he gots some LL Cool J in him, I don't see it happening.

Thanks for the props guys ::)
Tupac wannabe < I think this was the media's idea to make the comparison All eyes on 50 because he said himself he would rather be compared to BIG. IMO Nas is a Tupac wannabe, i also think NAS could easily destroy 50 but does NAS he have anything left? I also thought Fat Joe made an excellent move by saying the Diss record would be on his album. Does anyone else think the Jada interview could be fake?
UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over:
^You want props???Props given ;)
BIG.DADDY:
if you like 50 or not, you gotta respect his hustle. He got all these internet forums buzzing due to the release of the massacre, more specifically Piggybank. Everybodys talking, shit like that sells records. More women than men actually purchase records, and he got the candyshop record which is a female friendly record in heavy rotation, and all the talk about who he's dissed this time around........shit bound to do big numbers.
