50 Cent: Kanye West 2nd week sales is gonna drop 70% cuz Def Jam is buyin his records

[Taikun]

"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."

For real...

Who is really buying albums??

All those numbers are inflated

Cuz I really doubt many of these artists are "selling record/CDs" soundscan been looking inflated. They may sell ringtones...but albums na...

Thoughts?

Jay-z got a 80% drop (680K then 130K wtf)
Kanye got a 70% drop in 05 (860K then 290K)

Yo, there were like 3 other people in Best Buy the last time I went in there. I CAN'T be the only mafukka still buying CD's....can I?


I still don't think a large drop says that much....they(labels and artists) rally so hard for 1st week sales that you would figure on a big drop the 2nd week; especially if week 1 is big.
