50 Cent recently told SOHH.com that he’d give up his career if his album “Curtis” was outsold by Kanye’s “Graduation” next month.
They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem because I’ve worked myself into a space where I’ve become the favorite,
Everybody roots against the underdog when he goes against the favorite.
If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.
And I bet this, when Kanye West’s sales come in, he’s gonna have a 70% decrease [the second week] ’cause Def Jam is gonna buy records to keep him closer to 50 Cent. So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his @#* drop off the planet. We keep our angles covered before we make a decent bet.
50 also said that he’s cut the Kanye West-produced track from his album
We worked together on an actual record to try and create something,” 50 said. “I went in with Kanye, I went in with Swizz Beatz, I went in with will.i.am, I went in with Polow [Da Don] just to see if they had something that I didn’t, to create a new direction for me that I couldn’t get my hands on. I mean these guys are popular producers [and] have a higher consistency than a guy that’s unknown, but a lot of times they may have music planned that doesn’t fit the project that you’re working on.
sohh.com
now there's another reason to go out and buy Kanye's album!
-
if 50 keeps puttin amusement park tracks out then go cop kanye ppl...but he can put out sum real dope tracks ill let him stay lol
-
nah 50 isnt that nice he wuldent leave
-
I Dunno..I'm more inclined to Buy 50 over Kanye!
Reagrdless of Sales.I'd Buy Kanye After 50-Just cuz of the production not really a Kanye Fan!
50 just has a tite Flow, and his Tates for Musiic is also Dope Too!
Kanye can rap, but i'm a fan moe for his production than his actaul rapping!
-
Dont knoe why hes gonna do that..
I dont really like Kanyes music anyways..just a few songs..

"If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums."
Who said that? 50?

I'm picking up 2 Kanye's now. I was only getting one, but shit, this is too good to be true.
-
Lol, what kinda childish statement is that!
I don't really care about recordsales, but now I really hope Kanye outsells 50 by a mile!
Haha, he really cut that Kanye track off Curtis? Loser.
They both got big egoes, but Kanye makes so much better music,
so...
Kanye >>>>>> 50

Well he can almost drop the "If" of this sentence ... on every website Kanye is ahead when it comes to orders , Stronger just jumps 47 to 6 in the Billboard Chart whereas nobody gives a fuck about 50 singles ... If Ayo Technology doesn't blow up big and very soon , it's safe to say 50 gonna lose this one

We all know what Jay-Z does..

Wtf is all about taste! Say goodbye to Kanye ? Why ? It's 50 who says he'll retire if he don't outsell him..

Despite holding a more successful track record, skeptics are questioning whether 50 Cent's Curtis will outsell Kanye West's Graduation come September 11. Ask 50 and he'll tell you there's no way he'll come in second. In fact, he's ready to wager his career on it.
"They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem because I've worked myself into a space where I've become the favorite," Fif told SOHH exclusively. "Everybody roots for the underdog when he goes against the favorite.
"Put it like this," 50 told SOHH. "Let's raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums.
"And I bet this, when Kanye West's sales come in, he's gonna have a 70% decrease [the second week] 'cause Def Jam is gonna buy records to keep him closer to 50 Cent," the Queens rapper added. "So watch the first week and then watch the second week. Watch his @#* drop off the planet. We keep our angles covered before we make a decent bet."
As previously reported, the two superstars spent time in the studio together working on Fif's LP, but SOHH has learned that the material they worked on isn't scheduled to appear on the album's final version.
"We worked together on an actual record to try and create something," 50 said. "I went in with Kanye, I went in with Swizz Beatz, I went in with will.i.am, I went in with Polow [Da Don] just to see if they had something that I didn't, to create a new direction for me that I couldn't get my hands on.

;D

BS. 50 knows too well Kanye is very unlikely to sell more records just based on his single with Justin. If Kanye did somehow sell more then 50 would give you some more BS as to why he won't actually be retiring...obviously...
-
if so... I will pick up 1000 kanye albums
-
Man even if Kanye did outsell him in the US, 50 would say some shit like but I had more sales worldwide then Kanye. Either way I want to see what happens with this.

LOL! That is a good idea.

Didn't Fiddy say he'll quit if The Massacre doesn't outsell GRODT??? Even if Kanye outsells 50 (which I doubt), 50 is not gonna quit, no matter what. He's always gonna find some bullshit ass excuse or act like he never said that (just like he did with The Massacre).
-
i hope kanye sells more!! i havent heard that many songs i like from his last albums but his 2 singles are dope and 50 has fell off since grodt...i hope 50's is good too but unless its really good ima just d/l it probably. Gonna buy Kanye's tho.

Lmao o, i fucked up haha, i thought it was the other way around, well 50 is going to sell more hands down, its pretty ovious, you'll be lucky if Kayne will do 3 million worldwide in the end, Curtis will double that, im not even dickrying cause i dont even like 50 and i doubt i will pick up his album, just telling it like it is lol!!!

I know Kanye ain't an aggressive dude, but I'll never understand why he's so peaceful with 50. He's been pushing his buttons for about 2 years now. Check...

He even through jabs at Lil Wayne

In terms of acclaim, history shows Kanye will win. When it comes to sales, it shows 50 will outsell all of Kanye's albums put together, AGAIN! This is why I'm buying 2 Kanyes, lets get the movement started. This will be Kanye's highest selling album of all time.
Kanye's history:
College Dropout
sales: 2xs platinum US
reviews: 4.5mics, XXL, 4stars in the Rolling Stone
Graduation
sales: 1x platinum US
reviews: (can't find Source review), XXL, Rolling Stone's album of the year award.
50 Cent's history:
Get Rich or Die Tryin'
sales: 7xs platinum US
reviews: 4mics, XXL, 4 stars in the Rolling Stone
The Massacre
sales: 5xs platinum US
reviews: (no Source review), XL, 4 stars in the Rolling Stones
-
^^^^ Late Registration and College Dropout both did around 2.7 M ... Graduation ain't out yet
-
Theres no way thats gonna happen, its not even in his power, he has 2 albums left on Interscope and he cant do shit about it.
This is all for publicity.

because Kanye knows it's all about entertainment and promotion .. fifty just likes talking shit about others rappers but it ain't personnal (outside Ja) .. that's why dudes like the Lox and Fat Joe lost business wise ... they have both took the beef seriously , made a gang of diss tracks (50 didn't even respond seriously) but at the end of the day G Unit stans who are the average consumer won't buy their album

I was listening to a 50 interview yesterday, when he was in Philly and he finally went into specifics about this statements:
He said that if Kanye sells more, that he'll still put out BISD and greatest hits (because of course, hes under a contract) but wont promote them at all.
This could actually be a good thing, because 50 not obssesed with sales = no bs singles like Amusement Park.

I don't know how he can do that. If Interscope tells him to do promote it, I'd think he'd have to promote it. Otherwise risk violating his contract and forfeiting millions of dollars.

New Shit from 50:
"Kanye sucks," 50 said. "I'm going to be honest, he sounds like a robot, he has a robot record," ridiculing West's hit single "Stronger."
LOL, thîs dude is doin too much!!!
-
I'm praying Kanye outsells Snitchy Cent. Not because I like necessarily Kanye, but IMO, he's the lesser of two evils.
-
Amazon sales : Kanye album number 8 , 50 album number 62 .... Amazon never lies
