"But you can't call a #1 [album] a 'flop' under any circumstances. It's still #1"-50

For the record, Deeper Than Rap's first-week numbers aren't far off from his first two LPs, both of which went in at #1. Last year's Trilla pushed 198,000 copies in its first week, while his 2006 effort Port of Miami sold 187,000 out of the gate.

"It's interesting, because it's so many different factors working against the music industry right now," veteran journalist, music blogger and Hot 97 radio personality Miss Info said about the Ross debate. "You look at digital downloading and compound it with the state of the economy. You just feel like a lot of times the creative products are the first to be put on the back burner. ... In a lot of ways, I think record-label people are looking at gold as the new platinum. Literally. Someone told me they are making gold plaques again. At this point in time, you could have a lot of build-up on an artist and they're hitting 50,000 first week."

When asked about the first-week sales of Deeper Than Rap, Ross' biggest detractor in the music biz, 50 Cent, wondered if the numbers were somehow flubbed by the record company.

"I didn't get an opportunity to hear his record, but a lot of freak [SoundScan] numbers come out of the Def Jam system," 50 said with a grin.

Def Jam couldn't be reached for comment as of press time.

But even Fif didn't agree with some of his fans that the Ross record was a flop.

"I think it can be a disappointment to the system, based on how much of an effort and money they spent marketing," 50 explained. "But you can't call a #1 [album] a 'flop' under any circumstances. It's still #1."

I don't like 50 Cent you stupid hoe. Matter of fact, find me one post where I said I was a fan of his. You post 50+ times a day, I know you know how to work the Search Function.

I know it's hard to wrap your simple ass mind around the concept of liking neither person in a situation like this, but try to accept that.

Do you realize how f*cking retarded you sound? :laugh:

I'm from midtown KC....that's like saying someone from the Bay is a hick. I'm from the middle of a metropolitan area with a population of 2 million.

:smh: at you thinking "cropcircles" literally meant I'm on a farm. I guess Hieroglyphics is really from Egypt not the Bay, Jungle Brothers are really from the jungle not NY, and Wu-Tang is really from China, not Staten Island.

How the f*ck are you so stupid....yet spend so much time on a computer? Google and Wikipedia are a click away.

Lastly, since you asked me to address the comment I will. 50 obviously has some agenda here. I have no idea what it is, but does this seem in character for him, given his background? Use your brain for more than making stupid posts 50+ times a day.

[ATLien!!]

LOL, he's obviously doing this so if his album sells only like 400k or something like that and hits number 1 he can still say "Well hey I got the number one album" or something to that effect.

naw, a 50 stan will be wearing a red bandana and a Black Wallstreet shirt at that point...

I think sometimes all of us on SOHH forget that 50 Cent is not an idiot and can think logically. His fans are so delusional and illogical that I think it makes people think everything G-Unit is like that.

Props to Sunzoo for not ducking the thread and making a joke. Somewhere in Montana King Lyin is cutting his wrists.

very true...50 has a high respect for principles and he is not so
hate filled that he can't admit that ross' album is not a flop...

however, his stans will disregard 50's aknowledgement of ross' success
and be on some "he just sayin' that cause so and so"...like they know how
he thinks...but that's how stans operate

[dom_p08]

true and sad, I hope these kids get some help, stans like King Lyin and Sunzoo (to name just a couple) have real problems and really need help, no joke, someone at SOHH.com needs to reach out to them and get them professional help before they end up hanging themselves on videos or some sh!t. Real Talk.

what's more f'd up is how someone who is a fan of 50 can get thrown into the "stan" category....then again that happens with any hot artist you know.


people act like this is something new to 50 when in reality you can hear him saying the same ish on power of the dollar.

Dam b. You stay on my d1ck. Try to find a new topic other then Ross or 50. All 50 per day are about the same topics. You more of a stan then anybody else. Funny sh1t is you used the word that a particular artist you hate created all the time. Stop lookin for co signs and look for some d1ck to suck.

:spazout:
:laugh: STFU n!gga you came in my thread about the "real rick ross" talking bout rick ross :confused: you know what I mean :laugh: so don't front:dry:

[Windex Cleanerz]

i dont mean to fuel anymore hate ...but #1 compared to what? what other albums are you itching to go to the store and buy at this point in time?

...50 is either maturing and just giving ross his props or he's still mocking dude when he says sh!t like def jam being notorious for putting out wrong first week numbers and even slick sh!t like how much money and marketing they put into the album and the sales didnt even back.

it might can go either way thats all im sayin

but either way i still give props to the ross for the album, it was great

[dom_p08]

when he says sh!t like def jam being notorious for putting out wrong first week numbers

Real talk if Def Jam was buying they own records :laugh::laugh:why hasn't the sh!t come out? why aint other labels blowin up they whole scam, 50 just :mad:, so don't act like the n!gga is maturing now he still a lil' sucka he just had to face the facts as about a #1 album. :yes:
