The king of rap returns with Curtis

On the same day as Kanye West, another heavyweight in Universal Music Group’s stable of hip-hop artists let loose a new album: Curtis , in record stores on September 11, is 50 Cent’s third release on the Aftermath label. This new album of authentic, no-frills, uncompromising rap from 50 Cent (whose real name is Curtis Jackson) includes guest appearances by some of the biggest names in the business, from Eminem to Dr. Dre and Timbaland.

Curtis has already racked up sales of nearly 2 million in less than a week and appears on track to match the records set by 50 Cent's previous albums, Get Rich or Die Tryin', which sold 11 million copies and became the top-selling record of 2003, and The Massacre , released in 2005 with sales of nearly 8 million.

I wonder how many Kanye sold worldwide and how many 50 sold in India.(Massacre went 2x plat in India.)

if he didnt start bullshit with kanye, this news would be amazing... sadly, im sure kanye is doing better.... so his 2 mill is overshadowed by the face that he lost and is done for

Interesting.. I really didn't know that.... India is a very large populated area.

He may still come out on top....

Anyone see Election Projections come true?

Or when they say shit like, "80% of americans think" on such & such a topic.... and in reality, they asked 2000 people.... I guess thats a little different.. but whatever..

I remember when people cared more about the music than the record sales.

Do you remember when people would quote their favorite lines from their favorite rapper, or be like "Yo did you hear how he ripped that track"!

Since the amount of records sold dosent affect us in anyway whatsoever, why is it our main focus??

[rahuLL]

Not Surprised.

i had a feeling 50 would outsell Kanye (Overseas and US)

Kanye out sold 50 in the US tho....

[rs2000mk2]

well kanye did basically a million in america alone.

and kanye beat 50 in the Uk so there is atleast another 500,000 right there

i heard on the radio,kanye beat 50 the first week,then 50 started complaining bout def jam buying records so they wanna see whats gonna happen in the second week...here's what they did in the first week...

KANYE= 955 THOUSAND
50 CENT= 659 THOUSAND
