right numbers are:
GRODT 7.3 mill in US (11 mill worldwide)
Masacre 5 mill in US (10 mill ww)
CD 3 mill in US (?? ww)
LR 2.8 mill in US (?? ww)
50 had Wanksta, Pimp, Disco Inferno, Just A Little Bit, Candy Shop and In Da Club on his previous albums, this time he ain't got sh1t.

You don't seem to understand what's going on....
From "GRODT" to "Massacre", 50 LOST 3 million sales.
From "College Dropout" to "Late Registration", Kanye GAINED 1 million sales.
Long story short, 50 is on a downward spiral. Kanye isn't.

Kanye is yet another of the rappers that all the 50 haters put all they faith in....no rapper has been close to 50 in terms of sales and most of sohh and the backpackers would love for the gay movement to dethrone 50

I care about Kanye about as much as I care about 50....which is 0 amount.
That doesn't change the reality of the situation. At this point 50 has released damn near half his album as singles....none have caught on. If he releases 4-5 more singles before the album drops that'll be his whole album and we won't even need the actual album to be released.
And oh yeah, 50 ain't the first person to sell 8-11 mill, nor will he be the last. Get off his d*ck.

My point still stands, regardless. 50 lost 2 mill in sales, Kanye didn't = downward spiral for 50.

Kanye's album will be better, if I buy a garbage ass album I dont kick my feet up and think "Well, atleast ten million other gullable ****s thought 50 was gonna put outta good album and are ripped off just like me"

all that sales talk, u better kill yoself if you dont get 10x platinum.
read a book.
50 stans in full denial. he may outsell kanye, but the damage has been done. 50 didnt progress musically, still doing the same safe shiit. only thing "legendary" about 50 is his business moves but if your a fan of hip hop, thats not something you'd like to be able to appreciate because you get none of that, you dont experience none of that, but you DO experience their art and 50, well, doesnt have any of that.

If Kanye gains more albums... I will sh*t in my pants.
I am not a fool, I am betting on 50. He's got a much bigger audience. RIght now, love him or hate him... half of the threads on SOHH are 50 related. That's buzz.

c/s, truth usually never does with you stans.

"the gay movement" :laugh: , that was uncalled for.
If folks are rooting for Kanye because they hate on 50; it'll show in the actual support...they will not buy Kanye's album.
I gotta be real; all this extra sh*t is usually interesting enough to pass the time, but I'm getting irritated...I've had to wait entirely too long for this album.
They can atleast pop off with this mixtape already DAMNIT!

What makes you so sure that he will outsell Kanye? I don't care how many records 50 sold in the past. That doesn't mean it's going to happen now. 50 has like 5 songs out now. Not one has gotten the response that he hoped for. I'm not saying he won't do numbers. But it's not going to be what his fans think. I have a feeling he's going to be disappointed.
not that it will necessarily translate on the CD side, but currently Kanye is killing 50 in iTunes pre-sales.
Graduation is currently in the #3 slot, Curtis in the #9 slot.
Single-wise, Stronger is #2, Ayo Technology is #10
If you lay a ruler across a sales graph of each artist's successive releases, 50's graph is pointing downward, while Kanye's is moving up.
If you were betting money on this, it would be un-wise to bet against Kanye given what we know at this time.

no they took him off pre order in about two weeks after it was put on itunes cuz of a wrong tracklist and 50 still had other songs to put in such as ayo technology. and then it came back on preorder last tuesday along with kanyes. so were only counting the preorders made in those two weeks back in june and the preorders now. and thats pretty sad since 50 has had an extra 2 weeks for peopel to preorder his album and kanye has had since last tuesday and heez still ahead of 50

None of it's focused on the music and half the replies are from stans. They say outrageous crap defending him and trying to up those threads to prove some point. They think all that translates to buys but it doesn't. He's got stan buzz, but the mainstream could care less. That's what happens when you use drama to sell albums.

LOL, KANYE GOIN WIN AND YOU STILL GOIN FIND AN EXCUSE "ROC A FELLA BOUGHT ALL HIS ALBUMS'' LOL AT THESE 50 STANS THINKING HE GOIN OUTSELL YE
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so many feet in mouths in this thread.
"Sure, Kanye West outsold 50 in the U.S. according to Nielsen's SoundScan numbers. But the Queens rapper has reportedly edged out the Louis Vutton Don in Europe, according to Billboard. 50's Curtis came in at No. 1 while West's Graduation took the third slot. Fif initially cancelled his U.K. appearances shortly after SoundScan released its numbers. Maybe not. The dates are back on schedule and Fif is slated to head overseas for several concert dates next week. West still outsold Fif overall though."
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not to mention 50 lost in HIS OWN CITY SON!!!!!!!!!
