i think kanye is jst deceiving himself bout that whole "if 50's sales r higher than mine, i'll quit" thingy. err1 knows that no matter how much of a beef dog fifty is, his sales always manage to exceed expectations. i think kanye is crazy to think he'll actually beat fifty. wot y'all think?

It looks like 50 Cent is headed for retirement, if store reports continue to trend the way they were by mid-afternoon today (Sept. 11). 50 Cent had told SOHH.com that he would quit the rap game if his new G-Unit/Interscope album, "Curtis," was outsold by Kanye West's Def Jam set "Graduation," both of which were released today.
Sales data is finalized Sunday at midnight when the Nielsen SoundScan week officially ends, but early indications are that West will be the victor, at least in the first week.
According to executives with three of the major labels, whose job duties include projecting first week scans based on early store sales reports, "Graduation" could come in at the 575,000-700,000 range, while "Curtis" is being projected in the 500,000-600,000 range.

OK. Kanye NEVER said anything about quitting, 50 was the one that said so. This whole hype is 50's doing because without it not as many people would have paid attention to his album with all the wack singles. He's smart is all I can say about him |

And why would it be inconceivable for Kanye to beat 50?  
Granted that 50 is more commercialsay clubbing hits
Kanye is making his way up there too, and if you listen to his lyrics, they are quite powerful, inspiring eveneven more, he experiments with his beats, sounds, rhythm and flavor. . .
Am not a big fan of either mind youKanye's too arrogant but he sure does make good music and his videos are tight!
Fiddy usually has addictive and memorable songs

I bets be Graduating rather than being a Curtis fan. How can I buy an album with songs as stupid as Follow my lead in it. Fifty killed his rap career with this, he should as well start singing. Talent and mad Skillz would win over brute, trash talking and arrogance any day. Big up to the winner Kanye West.
@ sugachic
Get your info right, Fifty on SOHH.com was the one that said he would retire if Kanye should outsell him on the first day. Kanye is just in it for the money.

50 cent is a media juggernaut.
His tentacles are spread globally and he will outsell Kanye West eventually.
Fiddy's 1st album has sold 10 platinums and the 2nd album(The MASSACRE) is currently on 7 plats.
He sold 2 million copies of THE MASSACRE in India.
It will be a biblical miracle if Kanye outsells him by the end of the 1st week . . . .
The production of this album far exceeds THE MASSACRE and the beats are very subliminal.
His primary audience of the suburban WHITE AMERICA will buy this album in the shiploads.
Never underestimate the power of FIFTY . . . . . . . . .

His beats are subliminal? What does that even mean? Fifty does not have that fan base u're talking about anymore. His songs are not banging on the airwaves like before. Check the charts his singles are doing far below what is supposed to be "50's standard". The so called suburban white kids listen to Kanye too and from the charts Kanye's singles are doing far better. We all know these so called white suburban kids dictate the charts. So what does that tell u? I really don't care who sells more but I know Kanye deserves it for the effort he put into the album. |

i think fifty can't beat kanye because his rating have been dropping with each single he turns out.so it aint going to surprise me if he flops.
i remember he says he wants to be loved like tupac.that aint possible because when u start rapping about banging girls everytime u lose credibility same thing that happened to ja-rule.
u can't listen to a tupac album and not have a re-think about life.
